W LONDON, April 1.—Tiie Standard’: correspond- refusal to come to an arrangement with Russia, it is believed Prince Gortschakoli‘ has alreacl y in- foimecl Lord Loftus that Russia is ready to yield to Eiiglaiid’s demands in regard to the Congress. A POINTED QUESTION. A special to the Standard, dated Constantl- nople. Friday, states if the English fleet is not withdrawn the Russians will occupy Constantl- ueple with the approval -of the Sultan. The same correspondent understands Mr. Layard, in accordance with ilistructloiis of the British Government, has asked the Ports what its atti- tude will be in the event of an Anglo-Russian war. Safvet Pasha replied he ' was personally inclined to neutrality, but would sub- mit the matter to the Council. WHAT THE SULTAN SAID. The Standard '3 cci-respondent at Constantinople telegraphing Sunday, says: I hear on the very best authority that the Sultan told Grand Duke Nicholas he would not fight against England. Russians will landed a large quantity of vvarniaterlal on the Island of Tenedos. TO BE RECEIVED WITH RESERVE. The Standard/s report from Berlin that Russia is ready to yield to England’s demand should be received with reserve, as both the Agenda. Russo and Journal dc St. Pete-rsburg yesterday opposed further concessions on the part of Russia. Moreover, the correspondent of the Times at St. P9t_0l’3bEl1‘S 9-Olozvsnlis Sunday: War isinénv rc- gardedas almost inevitable. The “gag hope that diplomatic formula mign. i... found for a renewal of the nepoti- ations has been destroyed by Lord Beaconsﬁeld’s declaration that the question at issue is not a. matter of form but of essential reality. The other dispatches of the Standard given above should be received with due caution on account of their sensational character. . 4 A rnw iumons. The Times has the following from Paris: A Bel- grade telegram states Sci-via will join Russia in the event of an Anglo-Russian war. Allucharest correspondent of the Times says English merchant vessels at Galatz were ordered by tlieirowncrs to sail immediately, even without cargoes. Gen. Zimmerman’s corps has been or- dercd to Moldavia immediately. A Belgrade special to the Standard states that Gen. Duejevatz Markovils, commander of the Duejcvalz brigade, has been arrested for high treason. Many other arrests are probable. The Times’ special from Berlin states that Rus- sia has informed Austria that she would observe a friendly neutralily if Austria seized the Western provinces of Turkey. Austria is not likely to ac- ceptthe offer. _ A POSITIVE ABSERTION. LONDON, March 31.--Tlic Daily Telegraph pogi. tively asserts that the Marquis of Salisbury will succeed Lord Derby as Secretary of Foreign Af- fairs. IGNATIEFF. VIENNA, March 31.—Genei-al Ignatieﬂ left for St. Patel-sburg this morning. The semi-omcial Montaqs Revue says General Ignstleﬁ ascertained from Count Andi-assy that Austria rejects the treaty of peace signed at San Stefano as clashing with both her and European interests. Count An'drassy also informed General Ignaticlf of Austria's interests with great exactness. General Ignatleﬁ being without power to conclude any arrangements whatever, could only ac- cept the declaration ad refereliduin. OMINOU8. PARIS, Mai-cli 31,-A special to the Patric from Vienna says a rumor is curred! there that imme- diate mobilization of four hundred thousand men on the Bosnian frontiers has been ordered.

The Grand Duke Nicholas to-day presided over a military council at San Stefano. He will visit the Sultan again shortly. REMOBILIZATION IN ssnvu. BELGRADE, March 3l.——It is stated that imme- diate remobillzation of the whole Scrvian forces has been ordered in consequence of a report made by the Committee of the Austrian General Staff that the treaty of San Stefano would compel Austria to extend her military powerover Perora, Montenegro, Bosnia and Albania. HARD FIGHTING IN GREECE. ATHENS , March 31.-—A Turkish force,estimated at 10,000, has stormed the insurgent positions on Mount Pelion, and cap'tui°ed Macrinilza. The insurgents are intrenching in new positions. The losses on both sides were heavy. News of an- other battle is mememtarily expected. ANDRA8lY’B EFFORTS. LONDON, March 31.--A Vienna dispatch to the Daily Telegraph says Count Audrassy is making fresh efforts. to bring about a meeting of the Congress, and thinks Russia will eventually yield to England’: demand. Count Andrassy informed sled. Ignatielf the whole ten- dency of the treaty was in opposition to the in- terestc of Europe, and no lasting peace could be concluded without the sanction of all the Powers. lgnatieﬁ replied that Russia had altogether aban- doned the idea of a Congress, in consequence of the diﬁicultics raised by England. He urged Andrassy to state Austria's demand. The occupy Blljukdere on Monday. The English have ent at Berlin says in consequence of Austria's . Count declined, as he still hoped for 9. Congress, but declared if he had. to consider the treaty solely from an Austrian point of view he would demand far greater cou- cessiens than if he had to consider it in relation‘ to the general interests of Europe. Isliatieﬁ also failed to convince the Emperor.

Twenty-four Skulls Unoai-t_lied——Stra.ngc and important Discoveries. 8pccialDlspatc1i to the Globe-Democrat. WARRENSBURG, 010., March 30'.—Excitemeiit. prevails here to-day over the discovery of the re- mains and relics of some of the ancient mound builders. Several crypts or vaults walled in with dressed limestone have been opened upon the bluffs of Blackwater River, about two miles from town, in which are found specimen! 01 l9°W9l‘Y. stone pipes and various implements, whose use is not known. Twenty-four skulls were taken out to-day, all of which are so frail, however, as to be dimcult of remeval._ The same is true of the pottery, which is evidently of a very ancient type, and upon some of which are unintelligible inscriptions. The students of the normal school are intensely ex- cited. and a large number of them are now at the mounds, constantly discovering something of in- terest. Their eagerness interferes with the care necessary to the preservation of the articles dis- interred. The vaults so far explored are about ten feet square and six feet high. There are a large number of these lneuiids on the banks of the Blackwater, at this place, some of them cov- ered with very large trees. It is believed‘tha_t a. careful investigation will be of much scientiﬁc interest. ' ELECTRIC FLASHEB.

Mr. Becclier’s sermon was quite lengthy, occu- pying fully an hour and a half in its delivery. and the extreme ilb'8l‘$lil'sy of his views was something totally unlocked for and a uial'.el' of great sur- prise, being inadvancc, if possible, of his views expressed in his celebrated sermon on hell, de- livered a short time ago in Plymouth.

March .31-The statis- tician of the Agricultural Departulent has com- pleted his estimates of the condition and pros- pects of the crops for the present year. The re- ports from 700 correspondents of the Department show that the cereal expansion which , during the past ten years has represented an increase of 50 per cent, will the present year exceed that of all former years. The prospects of winter wheat. which amounts to six-tenths of the whole crop, accepted as a ba- sis of estimate, and allowing a fair average to the spring wheat crop, the yield will reach 360,- 000,000 bushels. The com yield, - it is thought, will not be less than 1,300,000,000 bushels. The prospect of a renewal of hostilities in Europe has induced farmers to give increased attention to cereal productions. sun. TRANSPORTATION. The Commission authorized by Congress to ex- amine into the subject of transportation of the mails by railroad companies will recommend that the space used, ‘limited by the average weight of mails, be adopted as the basis of compensation ; - that compensation for a car, or part, used for the railway mail service be fixed by the linear foot used, and that the style and size of can be ﬁxed by the Postmaster General. On every failure to deliver the mail within the schedule time, the price of the trip is to be deducted. All differences are to be adjusted by the Commission, and the Postmaster General is to have authority to desig- nate the trains to carry the mails, and to direct the running of limited or special mail trains. and the connections they shall make. THE TARIFF QUESTION. Tliespeecli of Fernando Wood, now in prepara- tion, on the tariff question, will present the whole subject of tariff revision in a most comprehensive form. He proposes to show that the tariff. as it now stands, is hostile to the industrial .as well as the commercial developments of the country. He says that the existing duties were fixed when values were at an entirely diﬁercnt standard. He anticipates from his bill, if it becomes a law, a revenue of $140,000,000. or an increase of $12,- 000,000 over that produced by the existing tariff. ‘PHI MISSISSIPPI. , of oi... ...§'$':§.'§fé‘l§°..‘f".'n".‘ h?..i‘.'.§l',.'pl"“lll’.".‘." y’§n“oce..n steamer by sending the United States steamer Plynlolllli to New Orleans in May, with orders to ascend the Mississippi as far as practicable during the June rise.

REYNOLDS. The friends of Mr. Reynolds, whose nomination for First Auditor was rejected , and upon which a motion to reconsider has been entered, have de- termincd at the next executive session to make a desperate effort to reverse the decision of the Senate. senators Kirkwood and Allison have been in conference with Secretary Mcoreary, and expect to be able to show that the appointment is a suitable one in every narticlllar. Senator Wal- lace, who conducted the light in the Senate in the interest of Mahon, does not anticipate a reversal of the decision. He will carry with him the ma- jority of the Democrats, particularly as Morgan, the Democratic Senator from Alabama, is op- posed to the conﬁrmation. Senators Cameron and Spencer will lead the Republican forces against Reynolds. T THE REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CAUCUS. The Republican Senatorial canons of yesterday, after a long discussion, decided to appoint a com- mittee "to report upon the measures oipolitical importance which would be taken up for legisla- tion during the present session, in view of the transfer of party domination in the next Con- gress. The subjects which were favorably alluded to were sectional scliooie, the counting of the electoral vote, the ﬁnances and revenue. The object of these would be to place themselves on record before the country in the campaign, even should the measures fall of becoming laws. IT was INTIMATED in the caucus tliattlie House, assured of an early majoriiy in the Senate, and conﬁdent of their control of the House, are not disposed to go into the Presidential question at all. Respecting the action of the Republican Senators toward the President and his policy, they pro- pose to pursue their course without reference to the Executive. It was also intlnialed that if he could be forced to go beyond the point of tol- erance within the Republican ranks, he might be openly ignored, thus allowing the party through- out the country to understand that they must rely upon their unaided efforts for success in the coni- ing campaign.

I WASHINGTON, March 28.—'l‘he House commit- lee lo-day agreed upon a bill for the classiﬁca- tion and rates of postage of mail matter, which will be reported to the House on the first Oppor- tunity. It divides mail matter into four classes: first, written matter; second, periodical publica- tions under registration; third, lnisccllalieous printed matter; fourth, merchandise. Of the first class, except postal cards and drop letters, the postage shall be?) cents each half ounce, and on drop letters 2 cents on eacll half ounce, in- cluding delivery by carriers, and 1 cent for each half ounce where there are no carriers. The second class embraces all newspapers and period- icals which are issued at stat-ed intervals, as fre- quently as four times a year, and which have been rcgistereli as provided in the bill. Rcgitered matter is i to be examined at the office of mailing, to discover if it contains auvtlling subject to a higher rate of postage, but this 18 not to be construed to pi-olliblt the laser- _tion of advertisements printed separately, but attached permanently to the same. One of the conditions on which the «registration privilege is grantcd is that the publication is for the dissemi- nation of public information, and has a lcgilimalc subscription list. Publishers of i'egist.ered matter may fold Within the regular issue a supplement 'willioutextra charge. On all mail mailer; of the third class, including books, transient news- papers, periodicals, circulars, and other matter, wholly in print, proof sheets, and manuscript copy accompanying the same, postage snail be paid at the rate of 1 centfor each two ounces.

The Postmaster General may prescribe the manner of wrapping and securing for the mails, so that the contents may be with- drawn fer examination. Publications registered, one copy to each _ actual subscriber in the county where the same are printed in whole or in part, shall go free through the mails, but the same shall not be de- livered atlettci'-carrier oillces. The bill further provides for stamped envelopes and for postal- cards to cost 2 cents , to__be forwarded and re- turned; also, a double-letter envelope. The fee for registering matter of the second class is ﬁxed at $1 a year. for which a certificate is given. Pub- lications thus re;ristel'ed.wllen sent from the pub- lisher or news-agent to actual subscribers, shall be charged postage at the relic of 2 cents‘ a pound. such postage to be prepaid as now requir- ed by law‘. V17‘ The Republican Senatorial Caucus. WASHINGTON, D. 0., March 3l.—-The caucus of Republican Senators yesterday resulted in no formal action. It appears from the views ex- pressed by Scnators that while they concede that the speech of Senator Howe, delivered a week ago, is mainly just in its strictures on the course of the Administration, they can see no pro- priety in recalling past events in Louis- iana and elsewhere, and of making direct issue with the President, and they are also agreed that the so-called civil service reform is a deception and a failure. They therefore think that Republicans should strive to strength- en their party irrespective of what the President may say or do, and they point to the late election in New Hampshire to show that it result- ed in favor of Republicans apart? from any consideration connected with tile National Adniinistration . They are of the opinion that it would be better to approve of such measures as they can in future, rather than oppose the Presi- dent for what has already been done by him in his Southern conciliation policy and other meas- ures which do not meet with Republican appro- val. Besides, to make an open issue wlm the President would beneﬁt the Democratic party to the injury of the Republican p.'tl'KY. The! 5&3 they can do nothing, no matter what independent course the President may think proper to pursue. I At the same time, they do not impose dishonesty of purpose to the President, and see some things in his Administra- tion te approve, but they doubt the wisdom of much of his so-called policy. As a committee of Senators appointed by a caucus heretofore called on the President with regard to appoint- ments, etc., and failed to come to an under- standing. it is considered useless again to ap- proach him in a similar way, as the President acts indegendently of Senatorial advice or conference. Itis nown that the President on that occasion regarded the call as a mere personal matter. and as of no public interest, and therefore he was not disturbed. Under all the circumstances, Repub- lican Senators do not think it wise to take an active part against the President, but to do the most they can for the interests of their earty. re- membering that the President has three more years to serve. A Specimen Carpet-Bugger.) WASHINGTON, March 80.-The House Commit- tee an Post Omoes and Post Roads met at the Post Omcc building to-day. Notary Public ‘Boone was recalled, and testiﬁed he had a bid in the recent lettings for over 400 routes, scare- gating nearly $400,000. His only wealth was in his ability and his credit. He assisted P_eck& Minor in ‘getting up bills and in gathering infor- mation on which to base amounts of bids, and in return they provided boudsmen for him. It ap- pears Boone signed bonds while the names of witnesses to his signature were not added till afterwards and represented men with whom he was anacquaiuted. Pi-ouossls were made. certiﬁed and dates were added afterwards and other conditions changed. Parties to such am- davits could not be held to answer 10;’ Perjury. Representative Cannon, of the committee, was very severe on Boone in regard to his lax busi- ness habits. He asked the witness it. with such practices in view, be regarded himself as equally honest now as when under Government employ. and Boone replied he did. Other members of the committee showedconeiderable curiosity in regard to Boone's life and doings in Tennessee, from which Slate. as he testlﬁed, he was driven away 83 3 “"P°i;b~"8E.°,E.» “'5”? .§““.‘. 2!- ‘E.’-?§9°.‘2.‘.’.‘E.“ ﬁ£H'fl'i'§i'i when he came to the State from Ohio a few years before he was worth only about $300.- 000.

THE latest summer bourettes are very pleasing in light grounds, of mastic, pearly gray and greenish tints. with markings in dark greens, lighted with sunny moss and peachblossom col- ors. A good effect in trimming is made by using bias folds of the other side of the stun‘ turned outward, piped with the gay color in satin or silk. A PRETTY dress for a girl nine years of age is of gray and white neigeuse, trim med in the back with a large bow of gray silk, piped with pale blue. The same kind of piping is doubled on the points of the skirt, the pockets, and sleeves. The back of the skirt is finished with kilt pleats. The front is a plain Pi-incesse. The hair is tied by a blue Alsacian bow. MASTIQ gray (putty color) with green is one of the most popular combinations in the spring suits sentover by fashionable French modistes. The gray is wool usuallyfor the over-dress. and may be either bourette or armure; the green is olive (tinged with brown) or else dark myrtle green, and is used for the skirt and for trimmings.- [Harper’s Bazar.

I ' Mr. Moller, of Westchester, to-day intro- duced a bill similar to the Moifett liquor law of Virginia. It is conﬁned to the City of New York, but there is a strong feeling in favor of making it general. The following are the principal features of the bill: Section 1 provides for license to sell by Wholesale in quantities of ﬁve gallons or more; at wholesale and retail in quantities of one gallon or more; at retail in quantities not exceeding ﬁve gallons at any one time to any one individual, not to be drunk where sold; bar-room license in quantities by the glass to be drunk where sold. Any person violating the pro_vi_sions of this sedtion is made guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a ﬁne of not less than $20 nor more than $500, and impris- onment for not less than one nor more than twelve months. . Section 2 provides for the manner of grant- ing licenses. Requires the successful appli- cant to ﬁle bond, with good security, in a genalty of not less than $100 nor more than 9 0 Section 3 regulates the mode of letting the contract for the register. Section 4 prescribes that the register shall be placed in bar-rooms or other places where liquors are sold. Section 5 regulates the mode of registering, aiid provides the scale for taxation. _ [be following table will give an idea of the manner in which the bell punch is used. The first column shows the number of registra- tions, the second the tax on alcoholic liquor and wine, and the third the tax on malt liquors: _ NO. plntoeeeeoeooeoeeeeoog 1 X plllt...........-oooo............. % More tliiiii iv.’ pt. and less than 1 pt.. 2 6 1 One pint . . . . ......... 2 More than1pt.andless than 1% pts.. 3 7,14 ....

Sec. 7provides for monthly inspection of the register, and the keeping of a record of the number of drinks sold in bar-rooms and by retail dealers. Section 8 provides for the collection of the tax monthly, and authorizes. the Commis- sioners of Excise, in the event of a failure to pay the same within ﬁve days, to collect it in the same manner as other taxes are now col- lected, and authorizes the Corporation Coun- sel to proceed against the bondsmen. Section 9 provides that any person guilty of a violation of the ﬁfth section shall be ﬁned not less than $20, nor more than $100, one-third to go to the informer. Section 10 ﬁxes the license to Wholesale dealers at $150. WS_ec‘tio‘u 11 requires druggists to take out liquors in preparing medicihes. "f - Section 12 makes it a penalty to willfully in- jure the register. Section 13 makes it a penalty for officers charged with enforcement of the law to neglect their duty, punishable by a fine of from $20 to $100, and removal from olﬁce. Section 14 provides that any oﬂicer charged with duty under this act who shall collude with any licensed dealer to defraud the city of the revenue, shall be guilty of a felony, piiliisliable by both line and iuiprisonment. Section 15 directs that the Judge of the Court of General Sessions shall give this act in charge to the Grand Jury at every term. Section 16 authorizes the Commissioners of Excise and the City Chamberlain to prescribe rules and regulations necessary to put the law into force.‘ Section 19 makes the Mayor, Comptroller, and City Chamberlain a commission to select the register to be used. Section 20 provides for one Commissioner of Excise, to be appointed by the Mayor, at a salary of $3,500. The Mayor is also to ap- point one Inspector of Excise for each As- scinbly district, at $1,200 a year, to hold office during good behavior. Section 21 makes it a misdemeanor, punish- able by either ﬁne or imprisoiimeiit, for any one to sell liquor in the city of New York in violation of the provisions of this act. All other acts inconsistent with this are repealed. 'I!ﬂ‘O\ff A Romisli View Of a Jewish \‘«'t’edding. [From‘the Catholic Telegraph. 1 It is curious to observe that the two most notable weddings that have occurred of late in I’rotest:iiit England have been those of the Duke of Norfolk and Lord Rosebery—-the one a Catholic to a Catholic; the other a Protest- ant to a Jewcss, the dau hter of one of the Rothschilds. The Cathol c wedding was cel- ebrated with all the sacred ceremonies and the soleiiinity of the church, in which was in- stituted the sacrament Of matrimony. The other took place in Lent, the penitential sea- son. From the Catholic wedding English royalty stood severely aloof, though the Duke of Norfolk, as hereditary Earl Marshal of England, is one of the highest digni- taries of the realm, as well as a ineniber of one of the noblest and most ancient Anglo-1\.’ormau houses. Compared to him Lord Rosebery is one of those whom the present Lord Beaconsﬁeld, when known as Mr. Disraeli, stigmatized as a mush- room nobility. Nevertheless, the Prince of Wales assisted at the wedding of the Jevvess, and even condesceiided, with others of his royal brethren, to sign the papers certifying to the marriage. He is probably under deep obligations to the Rotliscbilds, and thus pays them “in kind.” Who can tell what “little bill” was returned “paid” by the imperial house of Rothschild to the royal house of England, in the person of its heir apparent, for this little act of public colidescension? With his cliaracleristic impartiality regarding trilles of this kind, Lord Beaconsﬁeld ‘was one of the signers of the certiﬁctites at both weddings. Small-Pox in Mississippi. [From the Jackson (Miss.) Times. 1 Small~pox is raging terribly in the eastern portion of Pike County, also in Marion. The disease has assumed a very malignant type, many deaths have already occurred, the peo- are reported panic-stricken and great suffer- ing prevails. L. W. Connerly writing to the Magnolia Herald gives the following details: “Dr. Ford told me that when he went to Mr. Bracey’s house there were seven cases, all down with it in one room. He ordered the doors and windows to be thrown open and tar to be burned in the house, and sprinkled carbolic acid through the rooms, and even then it was almost impossible for him to bear it—that human imagination could scarcely conceive how horrible it was. O’Brien had died and was buried. Wash. Bracey was lying at the point of death, and his poor wife, subjected to premature child- birth, agonizing with the terrible scourge. Both of them died on Thursday night, the 14th, and were not buried for two days. Mr. Bracey’s daughter, a beautiful girl just blooming into womanhood-—the pride and pet of the family and community'—and his oldest son. a young. man, were the next to die. Only two of the chil- dren upon whom the vaccine took well, it is thought will recover. Mr. Bracey’s mother, who was in feeble health, and had been sent away to the house of her daughter, Mrs. Rebecca Ratliff‘, has since died, and it is now reported that one of Mrs Ratliﬂ"s daughter: has the disease. Thus is going from family to family, and God only knows where it will stop. There has been only one). A nurse, an old--negro woman on Mr. Brae y’! Place, to attend to all these -sick, exec ittle help she received from William ussell, Louis Bernard and Mike Pearson before they were‘ taken down. ‘Nurses,’ male and female, should be sent to the infected district asfast as they can be procured, and funds raised to aid in paying for medicines and meeting other necessary expenses. Pike County is equally interested with Marion, and no time should be lost while the lives of so many of our citizens are in jeopardy. ” , ‘CHARLEY Ross. The Story of Ills Abduction as Told in Public by His Father. rFrom the Boston Advertlser.] A considerable audience assembled in Tre- mont Temple last evening to hear the story of the abduction of Charley Ross from the lips of the boy’s father, Mr. Christian K. Ross,of Philadelphia. With but slender indorsements as an orator and entirely without platform ex- perience (this being his ﬁrst public appear- ance), Mr. Ross was obliged to depend solely on the intrinsic interest of his subject and his own personal connection with it; but these ‘ were suﬂicient to engross the attention of most of his hearers fey an hour and a half. He sim- ply narrated the circumstances of the abduc- tion, gave gt general account of the efforts to trace the kidnapers, read extracts from the correspondence with them, and ﬁnally al- luded_brlcﬂy_to the violent death of Moslier and his associate, the confessed abductors. Since their death, he said, although he had continiied the search unremittingly, no in- formation of Charley’s whereabouts had been obtained. He believed the boy to be alive, but whether alive or dead he intended to seek him until he knew his fate. Mr. Ross annouiicedat the beginning of his lecture his belief that it was the design of the kidnapers, v"? . . in case they were successful in extorting a ransom for Charley, to make a regular busi- ness in such atrade in human life. Nearly every letter from the thieves contained evi- dence of such a design. Having this convic- tion, he refused for a long time to compro- mise with them, feeling that to do so would expose every man’s family to the same ter- rible danger. It seems,‘ however, that at last he entered into an agreement to pay a certain sum of money, in consideration of which his boy was to be restored. V The er- raugenient was that he was to take an express train leaving Philadelphia for New York at midnight, and on arriving at New-York take a Hudson River Railroad train and ride to Albany. During the railroad ride he was to stand on the rear platform of the last car with the money in a valise, and when he saw a man on the track making a certain signal he was to throw off the valiee. He took the trip, but saw no signal, and was afterward informed in a letter from the kidnapers, that seeinganewspaper report that he had gone elsewhere to see a boy said to be Char- ley Ross, they had not sent their agent for the money. Thus vanished, perhaps, the last op- portuuity of recovering the stolen boy. Gen. Sherman on Donn Piatt, Congress- man Banning and the 3 rmy Bill. [From a letter In the W ashington Post.) Now, as to C01. Donn Piatt; I have never known him, nor do I want to. During the warlnever heard of him at Shiloh, Vicks- burg, Chattanooga, Atlanta or elsewhere, where there was ﬁghting and danger. I understand he belonged to that noble army of martyrs who suffered as provost marshals, judge advocates and sutlers at the rear. His prudence is to be commended. but as a his- torian he should be more modest. We have his word for it that he was in youth trained by Christian parents not to swear, but we have daily and weekly proof that he violates all the other nine commandments. “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh- bor” is one of the commandments which surely he does not even profess to obey. His trade, occupation and livelihood are based on personal defamation. Honest men pity Col. Thomas Worthington, _but simply despise Donn ,Piatt. He quotes me as calling his brother-in-law,‘ Gen. Banning, a ‘ ‘damned idiot. ” He must have invented the expression, for it‘ does not convey my meaning. The first army bill reported by Gen. Banning contained the proviso that in case of the failure of the House to make the usual appropriation for the army, it should be disbanded. I declared this absolute folly, and may have used the word ‘ ‘danined,” which is a good word when appropriately used, for this clause has since been damned by the Military Committee, of which he is uuuu....., ..--..s. ._ 1 ..o... .o..—---- - ta-new UL but: bill now pending. The army bill and the pay bill have already undergone so many changes that no man knows to-day exactly how they stand. But Gen. Banning’s first army bill contained some good features and some had features, all of which will in good time be acted on by Congress, and when the bill as- sumes the form of law no man will be prompter than I to obey. But vvliile it is an open ques- tion I and the parties interested have as much right to our opinions as other American citi- zens. Personally I like Gen. Banning very much, and if I ever applied any harsh term to him I apologize, but I did and do pro- nounce the ﬁrst army bill reported by him as disorganizing and unjust to the army itself. There have been halfa dozen or more changes made since, all of which seem for the better, but I still do contend that a reduction to 20,000 enlisted men will force the President to abandon much of our territory to wild and savage Indians. I favor the most rigid econ- omy, and know that the army is patriotic, and that if Congress will enact a reduction of 5, 10 or 20 per cent of all salaries, civil and niilitary alike, no complaint will come from the army. But to single out the army and navy for reduction of pay is lnvidious and palpably unjust. Yours truly, W. T. SHERMAN, General. Army. Maneuvers in Germany. Detailed instructions have been issued by the Ministry of VVar at Berlin for the exer- cising of the reserves of the German army during the present year. The period for which the men are to be recalled to the colors is ﬁxed at twelve days; but Generals com-_ manding an army corps may order men to be retained for any additional number of days which it may be considered are required for the completion of their training, provided that men are not kept for more than twenty days altogether. Eighty-nine thousand re- servists belonging to the infantry are to be called in this year, of which total number 6,400 belong to the Guard, 6,700 to the 1st Corps, 6,800 to the 2d Corps, 8,200 to the 8d Corps, 6,900 to the 4th Corps, 5,000 to the 5th Corps, 6,400 to the 6th Corps, 8,100 to the 7th Corps, 7,000 to the 8th Corps, 6,100 to the 9th Corps, 5,700 to the 10th Corps, 9.400 to the 11th Corps, including the Hessian divi- sion; 5,000 to the 14th Corps, and 1.300 to the 15th Corps. Of these numbers 8 per cent are to be non-coniniissioned oﬂicers and hospital attendants. In addition, 2,400 reservists be- longing to the riﬂes, 5,000 belonging to the ﬁeld artillery, 4,000 foot artilleryinen, 2,500 pioneers, and 550 men belonging to the rail- way regiinents are also to be called in, the numbers again including in each case 8 per cent of non-commissioned oﬂicers and hos- pital attendants.

Public Dinner In New York. _Even Yet Exulting Over the Cruel Death oftlie Good Mgr. Darboy and His Four Priests. {From the New York World.l A few days ago the annual banquet of the “Societe des Refugies de la Commune, ” the French Communist society of New York, was was given at Beethoven Hall in commemora- tion of the establishment of the Commune‘ in Paris March 18, 1871. Edmond Megy, a French Communist refugee, who was a lead- er of the party which shot -Archbishop Dar- boy and the other hostages in the last days of the Commune, sat atthehead of the table as President. Before the republic was declared he had killed a gendarme. had been con- demned to transportation for twenty '-years therefor. had been released when the empire fell, fought in the French army until peace was declared, assumed the Drefecture of Marseilles under the Commune, arresting his precedessor, and ﬁnally, returning to Paris, was given the command of Fort dflssy. After burning the Palace of the Legion of Honor, and shooting the Archbishop,he ﬂed, escaping via Geneva to London. At the other end of the table sat citizen John Svvinton, managing editor of the New York Sun newspaper, Vice-President. Jus- tus Sehwab, the Tom kins square patriot, and MM. Finiel Marie et, Lacaz and other French Communists were present. Red ﬂags and placards, inscribed ‘ ‘Vive la Commune, ” “The laws must be submitted to the peo- ple,” and with like mottoes adorned the room. ~ Citizen Swlnton made the first and chief speech. He was proud, he said, to extend another annual welcome to the refugees of the Paris. Commune, and “ to those victims and mart rs of right and justice, those men who had een thrice condemned to death.” He “could only say that he regretted not be- ing able to welcome them to a republic that would be more worthy of their hopes and as- pirations. ” Then he called for curses on the memory of Thicrs. Megy contented himself with applauding Citizen Swinton’s speech rigid with performing his duties as presiding o cer. The Murder of the Hostages. Of all the frightful scenes which made the last days of the Commune of 1871 seem so like a horrid nightmare, that which will longest be remembered with the most vivid horror, was the “execution” of the hostages who had been seized on the 6th of April, to secure, it was alleged, the safety of Communists fall- ing into the hands of the Versailles soldiery. At ﬁrst Mgr. Dkrboy, President Bonjean of the Court of Cassation, and the other prison- ers were mildly treated; iudeed, they might have escaped in disguise, but the Arch- bishop refused to accept this offer lest the enraged Communists should massacre his priests, and M. Boiijean because a magistrate should not run away. Oﬂicious negotiations were entered into with Ver- sailles, the insurgents desiring to exchange the ecclesiastics for Blanqui, but Thiers de- clined to recognize the insurgents by treating with them, having no fear that they would kill so distinguished a prisoner of so peaceful a profession. Cardinal Chigi, the Papal Nuncio, and Mr. Washburne thought differ- ently. On the 20th of May M. Edmond Rousse, batonnier of the Paris bar, who was laboring to secure the Archbishop’s release, saw him ‘ ‘-calm and resigned. ’ ’ On the 22d the sympathizing keepers at Mazas whispered to the hostages that the regulars were in Paris. ‘ ‘It is your deliverance, ’ ’ they said. — ‘ ‘Our death,” answered a prisoner. At 6 p. m. the hostages were hurried from their cells and ranged in the corridor, to go they knew not, where. ‘Two of them-one l’Abbe Crozes, the veteran almoner of La Grande Roquett-e—were hustled back to their cells by syinpathizing keepers and saved. In two vans ﬁfty-four prisoners, thirty-eight of them being priests, were re- moved to La Grande Roquette. surrounded byalziowling mob. Their removal was in pursuance of an order of the Committee of Public Safety, dated 4 Prairial, 79, requiring that “the Archbishop, the different cures, Bonjean, Senator, and all those of any im- portanee’ ’ be removed to La Roquette. The selection was made by Raoul Rigault and UIVU Vtubaw Gun,“ 9 ennvnnu one this P810033 registers, and on “ttl)i"e back of the warrant Gaston Dacosta wrote: “Keep this riﬁ'-raﬂ‘ to be shot.” La Grande Roquette was at this time under the rule of a brutal drunkard and rabid priest-hater, Francois by name, who, when the guillotine was publicly burned, embraced tenderly and danced with two of his prison- ers, murderers under sentence of death, to felicitate them on their good luck. ‘ ‘Fifteen centuries these priests have been devouring us, ” was his words; “they must all be killed -—and yet their hides are not good to make boots of. ” On the 22d he received a garrison under command of a blood-thirsty little laborer, Verig, whom he showed over the prison, pointing out especially a door leading to the walled-in path surrounding the prison building; then he went over the let of host- ages, 251 in all—-old soldiers, geiidarmes and Dolicemen. .At 10 o’clock the hostages from Mazas were received. Francois counted them, wrote a receipt for “forty priests and magistrates,” to which he added the prison stamp byway of a signature, and after exam- ining Fathers Caubert and Olivaint closely, ‘ ‘to see what Jesuits were made of,” locked them up in a corridor by themselves, neither food, waternor seats being given them. One asked for a chair, one for a cup of water. “For the time you are going to be here it isn’t worth bothering about such triﬂes,” was the response. The Commune was in its dying throes, and fury, suspicion and despair reigned every- where. At the Mairic of the Eleventh Arron- dissement Ferre, Gabriel Rainier and some other desperate leaders in all probability re- solved upon the massacre of the hostages. In the midst of a scene of horrible confusion a “court martial” of three members was set to work. One was a drunken officer of the National Guard; the second was a joiner, Gustave Ernest Genton by name; the third was an old man whom nobody present knew! It was ﬁrst resolved to execute sixty-six liostages. The number was afterwards re- duced to six, and an order to put the six to death was issued,only the Archbishop and M, Bonjean being named speciﬁcally. Jules Valies and Verinorel opposed the execution. Between 4 and 5 a squad of Federates and some white-capped Vengeurs de Flourens en- tered La Grautle Roquette. “It’s ﬁxed for to-day, eh?” said Francois. Genton nodded and handed in his order. “This is irregu- lar,” said Francois’ clerk, who (like all the prison employee) was interposing all possible delays to gain time. “Are you a Versaillist, too?” said angrily the officer, but the clerk pointing out that as the order called for six prisoners, but only named two, could not be complied with without producing confusion in the books. Francois supported him with drunken dignity. ‘ ‘Give that here !’ ’ growled Genton; “there’s more red-tape than there was under old Badinguet-—I’ve killed men before with inﬁnitely less ceremony,” and he wrote on the back of the order the names Darboy, Bonjean, Jecker, Allard, Clerc and Ducoudray; then he scratched out the name of Jet-ker, the banker (whom he shot next morning when he discovered that his prisoner had not a fabu- lous amount of money in his possession vvlierewith to ransom himself), and substi- tuted that of Father‘ Duguerry. “Will that do?” he said, preseiitiiig it again. “Cer- tainly, if it is approved, ’ ’ returned Francois. ‘ ‘Damn y_oui'sciuples 1’ ’ said Genton angrily, and ran oil‘ to headquarters, leaving Edmond lvl'eg_v_iu the oﬁice. Megy vigorously abused Francois for not having ‘ ‘a truly revolution- ary mind” and not “rising to the level of circum.-rtances. ” With Megy remained Ben- jamin Sicard, a consumptive shoemaker, cap- tain on Ferre’s staff. During this delay Henrion, one of the turn- keys, approached the squad of soldiers‘ and said to one man, who looked more merciful than his fellows: ‘ ‘Look to what you do-—this is murder!” “I know it,”.said the man; ‘ ‘I don’t like the Job, but there are my orders —-what am I to do?” Here Genton reap- peared with his approved list. ‘‘That‘s all right now,” said Francois, and calling Hen-‘ rion bade him open the cells of the fourth section. ‘.‘I will go for the keys,” strum- mered Henrion, though he had them in his hand; then rushing out he ﬂung them. away into a lonely corner and fled from the city, buying his way out of . the gates and never pausing till he burst, piinlin r and sobbing, into the Bavarian camp at ’2.n*.in, crying, “They will kill him! They will kill them all!” After some little _del:iy the Feldt-rzttes were marched into the prison, twenty being posted. at the grating and twenty in the hospital garden. These were seen by Beauce, another turnkey, who atonoe di- 1. vincd their mission. and sank. half fainting, , Si.

Mgr. Darboy had chan _ed cells with the Abbe de Marcy, whose cell, 0. 23, was more spa- cious. The Archbishop had scratched on the window-sill a cross and the words, Rabat‘ mantis, viri salus. “Bonjeanl” called out Ramaln. “Present—let me get my overcoat!” said the President. “Never mind it, ” said Ra- main, “you will do as you are.” The six martyrs, ranged in line, were led away. As they passed two keepers, who averted their faces, being unable to bear the sight. M. Bonjean exclaimed, loudly , “Oh, my be- loved wife—my dear children!”—-a message the keepers retained and delivered. _ In the hospital garden there was a dispute between Megy and Verig. “This spot, ’_’ said Megy, ‘ ‘will do very nicely, ” but Verig contended that it was too public, and ﬁnally carried his point. While the executioners were wrangling in the victims’ presence over the slaughter, these latter knelt in prayer. Some of the soldiers joined them. ‘ ‘Leave them alone, ” said a sergeant; ‘ ‘none of us know what may happen to-mori_'ow.” As the dispute between Megy and Verig was con- eluded and the march was about to be taken up, the Archbishop solemnly raised his hand and absolved and blessed his companions; then gave his arm to M. Bonjean. _ Father Allard Walked along rapidly, with his hands clasped above his head. reciting the prayers for the dying. At a gate that was soon reached another halt had to be called till the key could be found. “I have always loved the people —always loved liberty!” said the.Archb_ishop to a soldier near him. ‘ ‘Your liberty is not our liberty; don’t bother us I” replied the soldier. . The gate being opened, the prisoners were led to the spot selected by Francois and Ve- "rig-9. deep recess in the walled-in-walk, open to the sky. Against the wall they_ were placed in their order, first the Archbisho p, then President Bonjean, then the Abbe Du- guerry, then the Jesuit fathers, Dueoudray and Clerc, last the .-Abbe Allard, Chaplain to am Ambulance Corps, on whose sleeve was the red cross of Geneva. - Thirty yards dis- tant the soldiers were drawn up. Genton gave the order to ﬁre. Two volleys and some scattering shots, at 7:45 p-. m. an- nounced to the throng without that the forty Federates had earned the 50 francs apiece paid them for the work. As they marched out the crowd cheered them. ‘ ‘ Well done, citizens! You have done a good work!” Verig was excitedly brandishing the big horse-pistol which was his inseparable com- panion, and shouting, ‘ ‘I ﬁnished the famous Archbishop with this. I burst his mouth for him!” This, however, was not true. Mgr. Darboy was killed outright, though M. Bon- jean, with nineteen bullets in him, still writhed in agony, when a pistol-shot in his left ear put him out of pain. That night Verig, Remain and others riﬂed the cells of the dead, securing the Archbish- op’s pastoral ring and a few vestrnents of lit- tle value. At 2 in the morning the same men were sent to bury the corpses, which lay as they had fallen. The bodies were plundered, the clothing being torn off where the buttons yielded with difficulty. One maii put the pas- toral cross around his neck, to the delight of his fellows; another removed the silver buck- lee from the Archbishop’s shoes. In doing this he scratched his ﬁnger, and rising in a passion kicked the dead prelate’s body vio- lently, crying, “N 0 use killing the scoundrel —l1e hurts me still!” The corpses were tak- en away in band-carts and dumped in a pit at Pere Lachaise, and a mild May rain falling at daybreak soaked the blood of the hostages in- to the earth and washed the spattered walls. Me-gy’s Own Storxof the Crime. It is, indeed, probably news to most New Yorkers, though well enough known to his associates in the Societe deli Refugies, that Megy, the chief of the French Communists here, was one of the murderers of hostages. A World reporter found him at his lodgings in Bleecker street, near Thompson——a small, slight man, with black eyes, heavy eyebrows, aquilihe nose and bl k beard.shabbily dress- ed. but speaking’ soc French ﬂuently and smilin .-_n...»p1u.cently as he recalled his feats ur rel -71. The talk was in a neighboring restaurant, over a bottle of wine. “I was born in Paris in 1844,” he said, lighting a cigar. “I attended a primary school, where I did not learn much. I was apprenticed to a mechanic and learned my trade as a machinist. At twenty I went to work for the Suez Canal Company. I was al- ready a member of a secret political organiza- tion opposed to the Empire, of which Blanqui was President. In 1866 I returned to Paris and at once began to ersuade my fellow- workmen to conspire against the Government. We were only awaiting an opportunity for an outbreak. We wanted to begin at the time of the assassination of Victor Noir by Bona- parte, on January 12, 1870, but the people were afraid. and we were obliged to postpone it. When Rochefort was arrested, on Feb- ruary 7, for publishing his article about Victor Noir, we began our barricades.’ ’ ‘ ‘W’hat led to that—-—how did you go about t?’ ’ asked the reporter. “Well, I’ll tel _u,” replied the amiable Communist. “ at night we had a meeting at the Marseillaise (that’s a public hall), and Rochefort was to preside. Floureiis (after- wards killed while resisting arrest when Cluseret's sortie against the Assembly at Ver- sailles failed) was temporarily in the chair, and while the meeting was going on Roche- fort arrived in his carriage. As he stepped out the police arrested him. Flourcns, jump- lug on the chair, drew a sword-cane and a re- volver, aud placed his hand on the Agent of Police, Barlet, exclaiining, ‘I arrest you in the name of the republic!’ The comrades of Barlet then attempted to break up the meeting, but Floiirens called out aloud: ‘Our representative has just been arrested. The empire is abolished, and we here proclaim the republic! Let those who will follow come on with us. Those who are afraid can stay here!’ There were about 3,000 people in the hall. Most of them fol- lowed Flourens out of doors, and we went at once to work erecting barricades. I went to the Faubourg du Temple and seized all the carriages and omnibuscs I could find and up- set them in the road. A gendarme ﬁred at me and shot me here in the Il.'tIl(l._ We kept up all night putting up barricades. In the inoruing, on t 8th, 2,000 republicans were arrested. Most of us surrendered peace- ably. ’ ’ " ‘Did you surrender?” asked the reporter. “No, sir, indeed I did not,” was there- ply, “it was not until February 11 that they found me. ’I‘hen six oflicers came to my apartments, in the Rue des Moines, at 5:15 in the morning. I knew that they could not legally arrest me before 6 o’clock. I got my pistol and as the Agent of the Police,Mourot, entered, I put the barrel to his ear, fired and killed him on the spot.” With great glee and taking a sip from his glass, Megy con- tinued: “You should have seen how the rest of them scampered down stairs, leaving the body of Mourot on the floor. That fellow (cet iindividu la) had been tracking me for a year, and I was glad to have him out of the way. But in a few minutes his -comrades re- turned, re-enforced by twelve sergeants do ville. They bound me with cords and took me to the Prison de la Saute. ‘ ‘But the question came up then if my ar- rest before6in the irioruiu,°.' was legal. All the leading lawyers of Paris assembled to con- sider the matter, and it was decided that it was not legal. The Government saw then that if I was tried at the Court of Assizes in Paris I should be acquitted, so the Emperor organized the High Court of Blois, and, ac- cording to the law, selected his own jury. I was convicted, of course, and sentenced to twenty years’ hard labor in New Caledonia. I was sent to the galleys at Toulon to await transportation. I had been there but a few days when the republic was declared, and I was released by the decree of the Government. ‘ ‘Arrived in Paris again, I found thatI had been appointed a member of the Municipal Council for. the Seventeenth Arrondissement. I took my oiﬁce,and on October 31 I took part in the movement to oust Gen. Trochu from ‘ his command. For that I was ordered to be arrested and had to hide. I enlisted under the false name of Legendre, as a private in the 193d battalion, and took part in the bat- tle of Buzenval, on the 19th of J urinary, 18_71. That was the end of the war. *‘ ‘I thenwent to Marseilles, ” Megy contin- ued, as though reading from a diary, -and never pausing a second to recall a name or a date. “I went there to await events, and was there on the 18th of March, when the Commune was proclaimed. I organized my committee for the outbreak there, and on March 23 arrested the Prefect of Marseilles and put myself in his place. I remained in command eight days. On. the morning of tions?" and, snatc ing the keys, he un-‘ , April 4 I reported at headquarters Paris, _ ._ . and on the same day Gen. Espivant recaptur- ed Marseilles. ; “The authorities at Paris gave me at once the defense of Fort d’Iesy as Governor, and _I commanded it till the end. Three thousand vmen were killed while I had command there. When the troops of Thiers entered Paris ‘I commanded the left bank of the Seine, and it was I who burned the Palace of the Le ion of Honor on leaving it. I also defen ed the barricades of the Boulevard Magenta. and on leaving there, May 24, and arriving at the Eleventh Arrondissement, I learned that Ferret and Delescluze had given the order to shoot Darboy and the other hostages because the troops of Thiers on the same day had shot six officers of the 66th Battalion. ” ‘ ‘Did you approve of the order?” "Why, certainly I did. I at once went with the party to Rouquette to assist in the execu- tion. When we went there we were 150 strong, but a number of the men, about 120 of them, got frightened, and the thirty of us that re- mained had to do the work. ” ‘ ‘What did you do?” » ‘ ‘Well,|I do not care to speak much of what I did; it might injure me here where I work. We just called for the men we wanted to ‘shoot, and we shot them as it is customary to shoot men under such circumstances. We took them out into the yard and placed them face to the wall, and-—word was given and they were sliot—that’s all.” After amin- ute’s consideration Megy added: “It was all Thiers’ fault; we offered to give up all the hostages if he would surrender Blanqui to us, but he refused, and-—-so we shot the host- ages. - “After the execution I went to the Buttes Chaumont, where the batteries of artillery were still, and I moved them to Belleville. and hid there. Fifteen days after the Com- mune vvas overthrown I left Paris in a coal- wagou and went to Geneva. A friend whom Imet there advised me to go further away, and so I went to London, and August 16, 1871, Icaine to New§York. I went to En- gland in 1875, and worked at my trade in Lon- don and Birmingham until last December, when I returned here and am now working at my trade here.” Megy went on to speak of the present state of affairs in France and in the United States as freely as he had spoken of his past life. ‘ ‘As to MacMahon’s Government, ” he said‘, “it is only a republican mask that he wears. The Government is trying every means to suppress the republic. I am not astonished. that it has suppressed‘Felix Pyat’s paper; no true republican journal can exist in France.” ‘ “What about ex-Minister Washburne’s recent remarks about the -Commune and its members?” asked the reporter. “Oh, Washburne is a liar and a rascal!” replied Megy with great anger. ‘ ‘Before the Commune ended some of our people went to him and asked him What the Government would do to us in case we surrendered or were defeated. ‘I assure on of this,’ he replied, ‘that all who are taken will be shot.’ During the siege of Paris Washburne was acting as a spy for the Germans. He is an old rascal of the worst kind. ’ ’ ‘ ‘And what think you of affairs in Aineri- ea?” was the next question. “They are very bad, ” was the reply of Megy, as be lit a fresh cigar and blew the smoke through his nose; ‘ ‘very bad, sir-that is from the point of view of the workingman. The state of affairs in France before the revo- lution of ’89 is being repeated here. The only thing that has staved off a revolution so far is that the workingmen are making the mistake of mixing up in politics and looking to an amendment of the laws and the election of workingmen to office for their remedy. The woi'kingnien’s organizations are so anxious to make their own government that they for- get that a change of laws does not mean a change of system, which is what they want. They work on the surface only. Legal meth- ods are all wrong; whatever is legal is anti- revoluti'onary; revolution is never legal. Laws made by one set of men are as bad as laws made by another. This is what we are teaching the people and they are learning it slowly. They call this a republic; it is no more a republic than France is. In France it was the aristocracy of birth that brought on the revolution; here it will be the aristocracy of money, which is worse. Great fortunes like those of Stewart, Astor and Vanderbilt are sure indications of the misery of the peo- ple. The proof that the Goverument here is not of the ‘people is that the Government is afraid of the people. The Government wants to put up a fortress in the middle of the city, as it says, to house the citizen soldiery, but really it is to be prepared for the expected rising of the people. In Paris it was the same thing; the forts were put up as a defense against the people, not against the foreign en- emies. The fort that I commanded had a soft wall on the side exposed to the enemy and a hard stone wall on the Paris side. It is so here in New York. I tell you, sir,” exclaimed Megy, taking a deep drink and be- coming excited by reason of that or with his theme, or both, “I tell yeti that the people will rise, and the governments know it. Look at the strikes here last year. The workingman is beginning to learn his rights and will not'be long in asserting tliem—by force. The Commune, as we tried it in Paris in 1871, will come here; it will be brought on by the misery and oppression of the people. The workinginen may not want it, but it will come in spite of them. It was the Commune that you saw at Pittsburg last year. They did not shoot a bishop, but they. may. We did not shoot Darboy because he was a bishop, but because he represented a sect—the sect which has done most to retard the progress of science, liberty and the rights of individuals. It is the same here. The Catholic Church is very strong, but the peo- ple are men ﬁrst and Catholics afterwards. it Me-Closkey is powerful, so was Darboy; but-—it did not save him, and the power of the church never will save any one when the people are properly aroused. We shall have another Commune in Paris,” Megy contin- ued. ‘ ‘We were badly beaten, but in case of a revolution against Mach/lahon we should try again and probably succeed. ” ‘ ‘And how about America?” ' ‘In the United States, if the manufacturers continue to oppress the working-men, it will be necessary to upset them. Organizations are being completed everywhere—iu New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Paterson, Newark; we have correspondents everywhere. A revolution can not be forseen of course,but I see its elements here distinctly. It will «come in the opposite way to what it will in France. There it is not the poor who revolt, it is the intelligent working-inen; but here it is the most miserable. A revolution here means a cry for bread, arson, robbery and violence, as witness Pittsburg last year. The triumph of the people is eventually certain. The coming of a revolution is ﬁrst necessary, and a revolution here means the Commune.’ ’ Archaeological Discoveries in Rome. The Rome correspondent of a London newspaperwrites, February 22, as follows: ‘ ‘An important discovery, both from an archaeological and an artistic point of view, was made yesterday in the middle of the Piazza di Pietro, which, it will be remem- bered, is situated close to the Corso and the Piazza Colonna, and is adorned on one side by the eleven grand Corinthian columns with the cornice intact above them,which are sup- posed by some to be the remains of the Tem- ple of Neptune. and by others of the Basilica of Antohlnus Pius. In diggingthe course of a new- drain the workmen. at a depth of about eight /feet, came upon a large block of marble, which, on being turned over, proved to be the front of a pedestal, measur- ing about two metres square,and having upon the face of the dado the ﬁgure.- in alto-relief, of a Dacian Prince. The ﬁgure is a metro and a half in height, the feet resting on the upper molding of the plinth, the head rising to the cornice. Unfortunately, the face has been destroyed, but the drape‘ry, which is very ﬁne, is perfect in size, form, and every other particular. This pedestal agrees ex- actly with others found within the area of this piazza during the Pontiﬁcates of Paul III, in 1540, Clement VIII, in 1594, Innocent X, in 1650, while making the conduit for the supply of water to Bei'nine’s grand fountain in the Piazza Navona and of Alexander VII, in 1660, in demolishing the old church of San Stefano del Irullo, to increase the size of the piazza. That now brought to light has been found among the foundations of the church, into which it’ni_ust have been worked as solid building material. , Of those discovered in past times. two are in the Capitoline‘ Museum, one is in_ the Odes- calchi Palace, and the three found in the time of Paul III were removed nearly a century ago, with other gems of the Fairness collec- tion of sculpture, to the Museum at Naples. The pedestals are supposed to have ‘belonged to the Portico of the Argonauts, which stood in this locality. A gigantic fragment of cor- nice and an inscription :'elati_ng_ to Germani- cus regarding whom nscriptions__ are very rare, have been found. Crowds _-of people are gathered round the spot, looking at the sculpture and watching the operations. The end of another large mass of marble has just been uncovered, and may prove to be anoth- or—-the eighth-—-of these pedestals. ” ' they also bought the Geroine, which inarched from $2,500 steadily up to $5.500.

OF COMMONS LIBRARY, February 13, 1878.——My Dear Mr. Kennedy: I have the honor to acknowledge your letter inviting me to the twelfth annual banquet of the Knights of St. Patrick, St. Louis, for which I beg to offer to yourself and all the members of your honorable society my warmest thanks. Ma- cauley tellsyou that the steam engine has an- nihilated space. Don’t believe it. The steam engine has no more annihila- ted the space that separates me from my dear friends in St. Louis than the glowing, patriotic rhetoric. in which we indulged last vear has annihilated the Saxon oppressor oi the Saxon House “of Commons. You know I have been accused of a -desire to obstruct the progress of legislation and throw the par- liamentary steam engine 011' the rails, but really all that Parnell, Bigger and O’Doiinell and a few others of us have done so far has been to put on the brake occasionally, just to prevent accidents. And now that accidents are impending every day, owing to the storm in the East, 1 am sure that your gallant com- pany will acknowledge that.much as Lshould like to join them. I am bouud,as an Irish Na- tionalist, to stand ﬁrm at the post of duty. _ I wish you every success, and know you will have a joyous, happy time.

When he arrived at the barn he saw an immense wild at attacking his little boy. Not having time 0 return for his gun, he seized a crowbar that was lying nearby and ran to the rescue._ The animal, on seeing him approach, loosed its hold upon the child and sprang upon the rescuer. The man, sec- iiig the animal was too close to admit of the use of his weapon, dropped it and seized the cat by the neck. After a severe struggle, in which the -man was horribly bitten and lace- rated, he succeeded in killing the cat by choking it to death. .The child was also se- verely bitten.

If such had been the case, it would ma» terially detract from the merits of the exhibition , but such was not the case. The table was a 5x10, and the balls were 2% inches in diameter. Crickets THE ANTIPODEAN EXPERTS. Mr. John W. Hoﬁ‘lnan,of Philadelphia. has just received the following letter from Mr. John Con- way, of Melbourne, manager of the ‘Australian Eleven, which explains itself: J. W. HOFFMAN, EsQ., Secretary Germantown Cricket Club: SIR—As manager for the team of * Australian cricketers who propose visiting En- fland during next May, June and July with the ntention of testing the metal of the principal cricketers of England, I am directed to bring un- der thc notice of your club, and cricketers of America generally, that we would like to play a few matches in the United States and Canda dur- ing the month of September if sumcient induce- ments were held out to us.I mayinform tho'erick- eters of Philadelphia that when Lillywhite brought out 1 very strong team of cricketers to Australia last season, he and his companions were defeated] in an eleven-a-side encounter, C. Bannerman, our Australian batsman, on one oc- casion making the grand score of 165 runs, and then had to retire, cwingto a severe injury he sustained to his hand. The present Australian eleven is far stronger than that which defeated the Englishmen, and they have now had three months of constant practice together to prepare them for their “English campaign.” They have already traveled all over the Australian conti- nent, and so far have had a triumphant progress on every ncmulinn, meeting and defeating eight- een: and twenty-twos. Tile Australians would like to play about ﬁve matches at the principal cricketing centers of America. and I trust we may conclude arrange- cnta which will gratify that desire. Trusting that you will give this letter your earliest and best consideration, I am yours respectfully. JOHN CONWAY, Manager of the Australian Eleven. The English fixtures for the Australian eleven extend from May 20 to September 2, and include matches with the Marylebone Cricket Club. Gen- tlemen of England, Players of England and all the principal counties, as well as many against eighteen. WIIAT THEY CAN DO. (From the Australian Sketcher. Melbourne, Jan. 19.] The cricket ﬁeld has this iiiolltll divided inter- eat with the race-course, owing to the great match plaved on December 29 and 31 and January 1, on the Melbourne Cricket Grouiid,betwecii the Australian Eleven and a Combined Fiftce n of Victoria and New South Wales. The Australasian, writing of the eleven who are to go to England and represent Australia in the cricket field, said: “The team is a very strong one and thoroughly representative of cricket as it is now amongst us, and Mr. Conway is certainly to be congratulated on having got such a. team together. The team having been formed, it as determined to make a tour of the various colonies before starting on the longer expedition, botil with a view of trying their strength and also of gaining funds for their travels. Accordingly, the beginning of Novem- ber saw them en route for Brisbane, where they met. and defeated eighteen of Quceiisland by one inning and 23 runs. Thence the_v went to Too- woonlba, where they defeated twenty-two play- ers of Darling Downs by 170 rulls. Rcturninglo New South Wales, they played their next match In Sydney,defeatmg ﬁfteen players of that coloily by four wickets and 4 runs, Evans playin with the ﬁfteen. Maiilaiid was next visited, all there twenty-two of the Northern district of New South Wales were defeated by 77 runs. Returning from Maitland, they played at Newcastle ilglllllsl. twen- ty-two of that district and well by 50 runs. South Australia.was next visited, and an eighteen of that colony defeated easily by nine wickets, Returning to Victoria. their last match was plaveli at Sandnurst on Boxilig'Day and the following day. and there a very strong twenty two was easily defeated in one inning. So that it will be seen that the Eleven have played seven matches. all against odds, and been v-ictorious In every instance, twice scoring a vlctorv in one inning." Of the match on the Melbourne ground we now proceed to give a brief account. On the first day from 3.000 to 4,000 specta:Ors witnessed the play. A very hopeful start was made by the Fifteen, who went in first. and scored 80 runs be- fore the third wicket fell. Then through the steady persistence of the attack, and the watch- fulness of the ﬁeld, the progress of the Fifteen was checked, and the whole of them were finally disposed of for 136 runs. All iinfortunate dis untimely end, arose out of one of the decisions of the umpire for the Eleven (Mr. Allan), who gave Allee, of the Fifteen, out because he hit the ball twice. Alice's partner called to him to stop the ball, and he struck it a second time as 1: law in front of him outside the crease. We nee-:1 not, however, go further into the matter. the irritation 1_il‘lS’lll£ from which has long -since passed. On the following day the Eleven found it difficult to make headway against Evans and a ﬁeld of ﬁfteen. Bannernian and Hon... were got rid of cheaply, and the brunt of me work fell on Spofforth , Murdoch, D. G1-ego.-V, Bailey, and Blackliam. By patient industry, {ls well as considerable enterprise, the Eleven goq. 123 runs, or ﬁfteen less than the Combined Team. Such acommencement \Vﬁ)£l.(l0 by the Fifteen in their second innings at the Eleven were threatened for a time with a heavy adverse score. Both Kendall and Spoilortli were hit freely about by E. Gregory. The i‘ormer then pulled himself together, and the substitution of Boyle for Spoi- tai-th completely altered the state of aﬁ’:iirs. Though the first wicket did not fall until 57 runs had been scored, the next 10 were disposed on‘ for 28 runs. On the third day the match had a termination which nobody would have ventured to foretell. It ended in a me, At 111. with only 2 runs to get and 4 wickets to fall, the Eleven appeared to have the game safe. Undue eagerness to bring the con- test to a close led ‘them from one mistake into an- other, and they fliiislicd exactly level With the Fifteen. Two of the last four men were run out. They started on what seemed safe enterprises, I had to turn back. stuinbleii, and got home too late. Each of the ﬁnishes was remarkably close, but the umpire decided them without hesita- tion. As one catastroplie SllCC<3L(led another, the spectators were wrougllt. up to a high pitch of excitement, and the climax was reached when, with one riili still to nizlke, the last man went in and got bowled. The Eleven were taught a se- vere lesson, and, without doubt, will lay it care- fully to heart. In the evening the Eleven were entertained at dinner by some of the members of the Victoria Club. They afterwards sailed for New Zealand. The Peds. norms AFTER wIrTMAN. ’ Having heard that Mr. Geo.

THE GREAT wEsTEEN CIRCUIT. « I From the Chicago Tribune of saturaay.‘l The gentlemen interested in the proposed West- ern trotting circuit held their second-meeting at the Paciﬁc Hotel yesterday afternoon. In the evening a committee consisting of Messrs. Baker of Cleveland, January and Lackland of St. Louis, and Mansur of this city, visited the stock-yards and conferred with Mr. John B. Sherman in ref- erence to the possibility of securing Dexter Park nmzht be held. But their efforts were of no avail. Messrs. Tucker and Sherman, who held the park under a lease from the Stock-Yards Company. transferred the property to that corporation about a month ago, and preliminary arrangements have already been completed for running railroad tracks througli the part now occupied by the trot- tins: and running tracks. In view of this fact, it was found impossible to, induce the company to postpone its contemplated changes until July or September, as had been suggested, and the com- mittee returned to the city with the mournful in- formation that in a short time Dexter Park would be a thing of the past. When the meeting reassembled it was thought that a dispatch was in waiting. from the Milwau- lsee Association. statinir whetheror not it would 1030 In the proposed schedule of purses sub- mitted yesterday, but no word was received, 51. though the telegraph was freely used.

LOUIS WINNERS AT BOSTON. Of the Boston dog show Forest and Stream says: Now came an exciting event--the judging of the champion Irish setter dog. Here there were two dogs. No. 12 was Berkley. the pride of the St. Louis Kennel Club, with Dr. Jarvis’ Elclio. These dogs had it out in St. Louis, when Eleho got the blue. Both dogs were in good-order, but Berkley is just a little fresher and truer to form , and there never was a more delicate point raised than between the excellence of the two. It may be said to Mr. l):lvidson’s credit that be reversed his decision in St. Louis, as Berkley was it shade better in condition, and the St. Louis Kennel Club has now the rprht to sport the blue. Iii champion Irish setter bitches there were three dogs shown to the jiidges——Biddy, Funny and Moya. Again West had the best on the E:ist,and the handsome Biddy, of the St. Louis Kennel Club, took the first prize.

Old John Davidson does not soein to have pleased the Iurf, Field and Farm correspondent at Boston , wliosays: We can not see upon what grounds he reversed his St. Louis decision in the Irish setter. To our eyes Dr. Jarvis’ Elche was to the full as ﬁne as he was at St. Louis, and as mucll better than Berkely now as he was at the “Sand City.” We are a little afraid it was a case again of ‘ ‘You tickle me and I’ll tickle you.” Wrestling.

HOME iiﬁssious. , “Our Country in Relation to Christianity.” Points in the Discourse of Rev. Dr. Post, at the First Congregational Church, Yesterday. Rev. Dr. Post, of the First Congregational Church, Tenth and Locust streets, discoursed yesterday morning on “Our Country in Relation to Christianity." He introduced the theme by referring to the present as the age of progress, as an age of movement—movement in the arts and industries of life, in the increase of popula- tion and power and the elements of national wealth. But, he inquired, unto what is all this movement leading? What does all this busy life mean, this tumult of the million, this restless labor, this care and energy and enterprise? What is the end and aim of it all? Is It simply ‘material interests? If the end of it be simply in this world, it seemed hardly worth the moiling, toiling care bestowed upon it. But the truth is, the ultimate end and product of a nation and of a people is great and good men. Anything that falls short of that is unworthy and inadequate. The excellen-ce and value of a civilization is de- termined by the character and quality of the men. It is great and good souls that make na- tions great, and not a more mass of pulse ‘or ac- cumulated millions of mere animals. THE GREAT QUESTION is—where are men going, and toward the develop- ment, and culture, and production of what sort of manhood? For nothing is taught with more melancholy frequency in history than that trade may ﬂourish while men decay, It is true that great men, great souls, react upon nations for this present world; but in the last analysis of na- tional liistory, beyond all material riches, great- ness or power, comes up the eternal and mighty question of the soul-—tho question of true man- hood. In order to secure the highest manhood, there is required something more tliai-i mere in- tellect. You may have a nation of geniuses; they may be as subtle, as ingenious, as gifted as a mass of fallen angels; and yet your national his- tory is only a failure and to ruin. A nation needs moral culture; and when I say moral culture, I meail religions culture, for history and philoso- phy show that tliorc can be no hope of a perina- nentculture witllout religion. You need the en- thronement of reason, of conscience, of right, of truth, of -love; or all these men of power may be as utterly unproductive of certain beneﬁcent consequences as the lies ring of the ocean, the rushing of the storm. or the uplifting of the earthquake. In order for this enthroneinent YOU NEED RELIGION, something that stretches beyond merely gross, material, personal, selﬁsh interests. You can not establish moralit without it. You need it above right, which is a tcr all at more abstraction; you need it above what you call truth;you need it above reason-—you need a personal, moral God. You need one that is to us a perpetual observer, :1. chronicler, a judge; and you need more—one that is full of pity and of benevolence; in sl.iort, you need God in Jesus Christ. God separate from that Christ, and simply as a power ofjiistice, would look down upon the nation, and they would rush in terror from before Him. The sources of the guilty conscience would drive them, as it has driven nations, into all forms of corrupt and downward worship. I have said we need a religion, and by religion I mean Christian- ity. lf Christianity is not a true religion, 1 give it up for time and eternity, and the world may as well do it at once. _ 0 The reverend gentlemen brieﬂy observed the systems of religious thought generated by purely speculative philosophy, and he showed their utter inadequacy to supply the NEEDS OF H_UMllNl'I‘Y. Continuiqghis primary idea, he said: We need a Person, a divine and inﬁnite Person, perfect in His love and His power and His wisdom and in His presence to the soul of man-—a Creator, a Judge and a Redeemer and Savior of men, such as is presented in the religion of Christ. Further on he said: I shall go into no argument to demonstrate the necessity of such a religion to civil order and law and liberty. The relation is irnmeliiate, and history and philosophy abundant- ly show that neither law nor liberty nor perma- nent order can live without this inﬂuence. The reverend doctor also contended that the religion of Christ is a necessity in order to the production of the highest type of manhood, and that material prosperity itself is associated with that product. The question. t-he1‘6f01je. is, How can we secure the beneﬁts _of the Christian religion? From the very bogmmnpz Christianity has been a mission. It has been diffused by those who _possessed it to those who did not. It was _a mission in the days of the old Roman empire, diffusing itself from city to city, from church to church, through the dif- ferent communities and nations, till it overspread the world. It spreal by in mission during medial- val ages, and it is cxtendiiisr in the same way in these United States to-day. The AMERICAN HOME .|lllSSI_0NARY SOCIETY, as one branch of the Christian mission organiza- , tiou , has wrought one of the noblest works in the history of civilization. We in the West, espe- cially, have derived our Christianity by missions; and I believe the same principle must continue still. We shall need it as long as our colonization goes onward. It was pointed out that men left to themselves and disassociated from the inﬂuen- ces of Christianity drift back into barbarism and unbelief. Christianity was exhibited as the one into one homogeneous nationality the various differeiit peoples forming our populations. As Christianity was the only common union of all humanity, Christianity was needed to protect our individual national life in this new world which was made the quarry for every scheme, speculation and theory. The present time was spoken of as a crisis which should determine whether this country was to take its due position at the front of the leading Ulll‘l8I.l.1l1 nations, or to be torn into fragments by want of harmony and common design and pur- pose. The capabilities and prospects of the United States were giowingly pictured. and the reverend speaker believed that there was no power on earth that was such a FACTOR FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. This fact, he went on to say, was recognized by the advocates of skepticism and wild philosophy, and by the teacliers of inediaeval superstition. This being‘ the most iinportant field, is the most, imperiled and the most assailed. This fact, then , would siipllly ally demand fora special cause for aiding home inissioilary enterprise . Another rea. son was that this was our home, where our chil- dren are to inherit_ whatever we may leave, Again, it was exclusively the held of the Ameri. can people. If they n?lect it other nations were not coming in to takei up. It was iinpoi-tan; that what was done be done at once. Although times are hard, men should cut of! their luxuries, and even conveniences, rather than withdraw thbir aid from the home missionary cause. The rest of Dr. Post’s remarks rail in the same channel-an jlppeal for generous and Chi-isiuln aid to our home missions, he at the same time at. ﬁrming the importance of foreign missions, and pointing out the reaction through the former on i and trotting races, intro ucedlnto the Ohio Leg- it the churches and the foreign missions. advantage of every favorable day for getting in. The names ‘ great and only force capable of fusing together - Tits NATURE or rititsnrrnitr ‘Rev. Stuart Robinson Dis- courses on Church Government, With Especial Reference to that Form Adopted by the Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Dr. stual-if Robinson. of Louisville. Ky.,preached at the Pine Street Presbyterian Church yesterday morning and evening, each_ time to a large congregation. His mornlnﬁ 90?- mon was purely ecclesiastical, being a statement of some of the essential features of Presbyterian, in respect to Church organization and govern- ment. Hls text was taken from acts xx, 28, and from 1 Timothy iii, 15, the former citation read- ing: “Take heed, therefore, unto yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. The doctor first referred to the apos_tle’s men- tion of tile church as a body. not existmimerely from expediency, but £0108 “Elm 53° . t° “"3 eternal purpose of God, which Jesus Christ. the mediator, has purchased with his own blood;’a Body of which he himself is the head-the lamb a ride. Thechurch as to its functions was a fold. The word rendered “feed” should read “shepherd, " and this again meant not what we understand by taking care of our sheep iiithe country, but what that care involved in the district of Galilee, a leading of the flock, calling each member by name to which that member answered, and at times the protection of the fold from the beasts of the Galilean hills, after the fashion of the son Jesse. who slew the lion and the bear. Hence the dutyof the ‘ ‘overseers” of the church to the body over which they were put. . . The Greek writer rendered “set over" (“en- ho") should really read "set in.” The elders were in the church, but not over it. The identity of the elders with the bishops came next. “El- ders” was the word used most frequently, but when Paul was writing to Greeks, he used the word “episcopoi" or .“bishop," because they would understand fro that word what the duties and functions of an elde were. The word "bish- op,” which figured so largely in religious contro- versies. occurred but . FOUR TIMES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. Taking up the words, “the Church of the Liv- ing God, the pillar and ground of the truth, ” Dr. Robinson pointed out that the church was the guardian of God’s revelation. God had never madearevelation to mankind at large. Itwas made directly to the church, to be afterward communicated to the world. Whence, then, came the idea of a visible Church of God on earth? There were three theories. One was, tlfat the church was a mere organization of ex- pediency, for gathering together those who held similar religious views. A second was, that the church was organized by Jesus Christ, by incor- porating His apostles into a spiritual body, through whom lie would communicate His grace to men. Thirdly, Presbyterians held that the church ran back to the eternal counsels of God. He wouldn't say of this belief that it was like justification by faith, one of the essentialdoc- trines of faith, but it was supported by and in harmony with all the teachings of the gospel. How did so many different theoriesof the na- ture of the church prevail among Protestants? Here the speaker went back to the times of the Reformation. Zwingle had taught that man's sole source of spiritual doctrine was in the re- vealed word of God. Luther had gone one step further, and insisted on justification by faith in an atoning Savior. Calvin had carried all back to the eternal counsels of God. These three the- ories were compared to the Ptolemaic, Coper- nican and present doctrines of astronomy. Zwin- gle made the Bible the central point around which all these revolved. Luther had demonstrated the power of the sun of righteousness, and lastly, as we now know, our sun revolves around a great central sun. So Calvin had made all religious doctrine a part and parcel of the eternal decrees of God . As to the occasional failings on’ in the church, and her occasional apostasies, these the speaker declared only proved her vitality. The history of the church was a history of revivals and declen- slon, and after each declensien she had revived, a sure proof of the divinity of her origin, and one which no other system of belief could show. It had always the same great ccnter—the Lamb that was slain; Christ cruciﬁed. Go back to the be- ginning. There was Abel and his burnt offering, recognized of God. A thousand years later there was Abraham’s sacriﬁce on Mount Moriah, indi- cating in ﬁgure the relation of the sacriﬁce to the father’s own bosom. Four hundred and ﬁfty years later there was the passover, and the angel of death recognized, not the moral goodness in ‘the honest WITH BLOOD - STAINED LINTEL, -but the indication of sacrifice contained in the blood. Isaiah again spoke in prophecy of the "Lamb led to the slaugiiter.” Seven hundred years after that John the Baptist said, “Behold the Lamb of God." The apostle described the Redeemer as ‘ ‘a Lamb without spot or blemish,’ ’ and last of all, in the revelation of the Seer of Patmos we had, “Worthy the Lamb who was slain.” From earliest history to prophecy yet unfulﬁlled, the same theory and doctrine ran. Going back next to the question of elder-ship, Dr. Robinson said that before the time of Abra- ham no eldership was possible. ancient longevity everything was in the family relation, but toward Abraham’s time ages had become equalized to a great extent, and civil and religious eldei-ship commenced to exist. The word church was used variously in the New Testament. There was the church at Jerusa- lem, consisting of the various congregations of that city; the church in small places consisting of one congregation; and again the church meeting at a single house, as the church of the house of Acquilla and Priscilla. And these had their sev- eral church tribunals, the last a peal being to the cilurch at Jerusalem. The el ers acted not as merely human elected delegates. but as instru- ments of the Holy Spirit, and the speaker asked why this mode of church government was not more generally adopted. Here again he went back to the Reformation, and showed now, under the pressure of State power, it was impossible to carry out the doctrine of the governorship by elders to its full extent. The civil power, the kinglv sovereignty was loath to give up its juris- diction. The Covenantcrs’ cry was “ For Christ's crown and covenant,” and a hard ﬁght they had against the civil power’s attempt To RULE THE CHURCH. Then the speaker spoke of the three great forms of church governinent—-prelacy, independency and presbytery. He gave three views as to the nature of the visible church, the elements consti- tuting its society, and the place of vesting its power. As to the latter he said the elders had no power where Christ had not spoken. Hence he was opposed to all sensational performances in the ritual of the church. In conclusion, Dr. Robinson alluded to the essential oneness of the Presbyterian Church, to its marked reputation for taking the defensive where ‘ ‘doctrine” was involved. People who couldn’t stand up for their truth were not exactly the kind of Christians ' he admired. If some sects had more apparent harmony and peace, it was because they had had others to do the fighting for them. They, too, would fight if compelled to. He believed in standing by the “sound form of words.” Pres- byterians were rigid in their views, but not indis- posed towards church unity. Nay, they had al- vvays heartily co-operated wherever they could. As to that part of the Westminster Confession of Faith, what referred to the eternal decrees, that was drawn up originally by Archbishop Usher, and they should place the responsibility where it belonged. A few other points were brieﬂy touched on, and the address of over some hour and a half closed. LL AT TURNER HALL. , V.’ orkingmelﬂs Party. There was a lively meeting of the Working- men’s party at Turner Hall yesterday afternoon. Mr. Bush occupied the Chair. Mr. Finnecke was Vice Chairman, and Mr. Raiz acted as Secretary. The hall was well ﬁlled with members of the or- ganization and their friends,including such names as Curlin, Haller, Hosfelter,Cope,Kcasser.Weld. Labsrab, Davis, and others. There were no pre- liminary speeches, but the Chairman at once in- lroduced Mr. Haller, of Cincinnati, the recog- nized "agitator" of the Woi'klhginen's party in this district. Mr, Haller then made an address on the causes and remedies of the present social distress. He believed in ﬁnding out the cause of the difficulty, as no remedy could be successfully applied til this was first done. He did not think the cause was over production, nor undue extravagance nor yet an inflation of theciirrsncy, and he gave his reasons for believing these were not the causes of the present social trouble. mean- ing thereby the present condition of the working class. The real trouble, or a great part of it, according to Mr. Haller, grew out of the increased use of machinery and the almost ex- clusive ownership of machinery by the capital class. He instanced the manner in which chil- dren and youths were trained to run machines producing valuable work, quoting the manufac- ture of Elgin and Howard watchesas the best case in point. Then he spoke of the sand-blast as doing away with much employment of the en- graver. This deprivation of work acted in two ways. It deprived the laborer of the means of subsistence and also at the same time curtailed the market f_or the goods manufactured by means of his mechanical substitute. "The present state of aﬁairs was one that, no mob violence, no brute force, uprising could cure. it, a fact provcn by the experience of the Typo- graphical Union at Cincinnati and elsewhere, and the experience of the Moulders' Society. What was needed was that workingmen should know their rights, and knowing, _dare to main- tain them. Capital had no rights as against the rights of those who produced it. The working classes should not be scared by a cry of “Com munism,” but act the right and let the conse- quences take care of themselves, as did the Abo- litionists of old. They wanted to arrive at that point when they recoznized in any injury to their neighbor's interest an injury to themselves. With mote unity they would have better success. The recognized azitator then gave the details of L, I plan which he had V devised for the rectification no physical In the days of Address by the Head Agitator of the‘ Strikes couldn't change‘ - l I a $1.‘ halls hallo’: @lIIIJ‘£"-@fu1ltUi."‘).“Hf,"‘ ﬁlotiliap ﬂbil'tiilig,, Zlpril 1, 187,8. of all. the differences between labor and capital. He gave it in the form of a-proposed enactment’. providing for the election in each district of Com- missioners-tocondcmu sites for factories, wqrk-; shops and dwellings, for supervisors of machinery and labor, for receivers of- the roducts and. distribution of the same. Each aborer was to be paid in a labor note, good for its,,_i'ace value in acid at the warehouse of distri- bution. Such labor checks would be good for travel on the railways, which would then belong to the Government, and as all the gold and silver would then belong to the Government, the na- tional credit would be good at all foreign ports of exchange, and a labor note would practically be good anywhere. Then there was provision for auditing the various accounts kept of the _labor done in the district. and for the cancelation of labor notes when they had been redeemed in goods. The speaker claimed that the advantages of this system were many and _obvlous, that it would remove temptation to dishonesty, and almost prevent peculation of all kinds. Then he spoke of inventors, and claimed they had no right to an exorbitanth-eturn on their inventions. They had received their ililieritance of faculties from the race and also their education, and should repay their advantages by turning into the common fund the fruit of their skill. There was a reference to the advantage taken of in- ventors by capitalists, and the statement was made that it was equally murder,to kill a man by indirection as by the actual physical blow. Finally, the speaker said, the lowest part of man was his appetite, and the highest part his intel- lectual and spiritual nature, whose cultivation was one of the objects sought to be achieved by the party. "Various members of the organization then put various questions, in answer to which it was stated that the present meeting was only preiiminar to one to be held at the same place next Sun ay, when a programme for the future would be set cut. oil THE MEXICAN FRONTIER. ‘Scenes on the Rio Pecos and in the Region of ~ El 1 Paso. A Swiftly Flowing River Through Trsslsss Plains -The "majesty of the Deserts of the Southwest. Four STOCKTON, TExAs, March 20.--If one wants to realize the majesty of the great deserts of the Southwest, and the sublime solitude that reignson the Llano Estacado, or Staked Plains of West Texas, let him journey across the River Pecos in the direction of Camp Stockton, which is ﬁfty-two miles south of that river, and in lati- tude 30 deg. 45 min. and in longitude 102 deg. 30 min. Traveling across the plains that stretch away to the northeastward from the river, over ‘dead-level expanses of prairie, whose tall grass reaches your horse's belly, and knocks off‘ its dew globulesagainst your stirrup leathers, you rather unexpectedly come upon the Rio Pecos. That wild and lonesome river has, at least in this longitude, no trees upon its banks to mark its course in the great and arid wastes through which it flows, and your ﬁeld glass sweeps over its track as over any other treeless ravine that debouches from ranges of low hills, unsuspiclous of its pres- once. THE RIO PECOS. It is in many respects a remarkable water course. Rising in latitude 36° and falling into the Rio Grande in 29° 40 min., it flows over 400 miles in a straight line. But owing to its extreme s'lnicsities—greater than any other river in the world pet-haps—its actual length is something over 1,800 miles. It is the most tremendously crooked stream in existence, and it ﬁows through a valley several miles in breadth, and whose alluvial soil is— of the most fer- tile description, being composed chieﬂy of lime, sulphur and saline sediments from the river , besides the accu m ulated rotten matter of the grasses. W hen dry it crum- bles into a ﬁne powder. The valley is well suited to irrigation, and its total area estimated at many millions of acres. The velocity of the currentis seven miles per hour, and would be much greater but for the great and frequent nie- anderings of the channel, which is in this longi- tude about 200 feet wide, and containing ten to thirty feet of dark, turbulent water. The swiftness of the stream is owing _to its great fall, ten feet per mile, because its source in the great Ll no Estacado is estimated to be several thousand feet above the sea, and only 1,000 at its junction with the Rio Grande. The Pecos runs down a -vast inclined plain, tilted to the southeast, and its waters are tincturcd with lime and sulphur, so much so,thai. coffee made of it is scarcely drinkable. THE BANKS OF THE RIVER rise almost perpendicularly as a wall six feet from the surface to the level of the valley, so perpendicular that animals-—the buffalo and the prowling wolf-ﬁnd it dlﬁicult to drink at the water's edge without plunging headlong into the deepand swift current. There are no brldires out in these vast selitudes. and the only way to cross this grand- ly, darkly rolling river is by swimming it, either alone or with your horse. Hav- ing done so, and leaving the Rio Pecos behind, and turning to the soutnwestward you come into a vast arid expanse of plains entirely destitute of trees or grass, and covered with sand —a. complete desert, in fact. Bare as these plains are of all vegetation or animal life, except an oc- casional village of prairie dogs, they areyvnot ut- terly devoid of interest to the man of science. Out of the level wastes, and at intervals, as you ride to the south westward, rise granitic and porphyritic masses, some of them shooting up perpendicularly 50 to 175 feet, and with sides almost as smooth as’ glass , show- ing, as claimed by some, iiiciubliable evi- dences of friction during the Glacial peiod. Not unfrcquently,also the wayfarerjsees looming up in the dim distance what might be taken for an old fashioned fortress, with its dull outlines of angles,turrets and bastions, but which ,on a near a preach, he discovers to be a vast mass of bas- a tic rock. PENSION AGEN CIES . Why’ the Pending Bill For Their Aboli- tion Should Not Be Passed. To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat: ST. LOUIS. March 30, 18’l8.—I see by recent re- ports from Washington that the Senate Commit- tee on Pensions have reported a bill to abolish all pension agencies and transfer all the business of paying pensions to Washington, D. C. I do not know the title or tenor of the bill, but to express its actual results it should be entitled “a bill to rob the pensioners of $100,000 per annum . ” It may be true that the expense of paying pen - sions under the present system is too great, bilt this should be no excuse for robbing the pen- sioners to reduce that expense. On the contrary, let the fees and expeilse accounts of the pension agents be readjusted as recommended in the last annual report of the Commissioner of Pensions, and the expense of payment can be brought with- in a reasonable amount. The Commissioner of Pensions, who has had some practical experience with pensions and peli- sioners. differs from the asiute Secretary of the Interior in regard to the subject of the saving to be effected bygthe proposed chalige,and boldly as- serts that the expense to the United States under the new plan will be even greater than it is now, while every one who gives five minutes of candid thought to the matter can see how unfavorably the new method will affect the persons most di- rectly interested, viz: the pensioners themselves. There are now about 31,000 ‘ ‘resident pension- ers,’ ’ who can,and do,go the to various agencies _in persongand collect their quarterly |peilsions without one cent of expense. and with but little less of time, Under the new plan of the distill- guished Secretary, every oils of these 31.000 pensioners would be compelled to send a vouch- er to Washington every quarter, in order to re- ceive his pension, thereby causing a delay of from two days to two weeks, accord- ing to the distance of their residence from‘ Washington. But this is not all: every one of these vouchers must be executed before an officer having a seal, who will charge from 50 cents to $1 50 each time, making an expense to each pensioner of from $2 to $6 per year, Ind for ‘the entire 31_000 "resident pon- sicners," a minimum expense of $62,000 annual- ly, while the average annual expense would be nearer $100,000, as a large part of the vouchers cost more than 50 cents each. Add to this the expense of postage paid by the pensioners, $4,000 per year, an that will show the amount of money tﬁcn from the pensioners to carry out this scheme of the Secretary of the In tcrior. What kind of reform is this, which imposes so severe a tax and delay, for the good of no one? The Commissioner of Pensions shows in his letter upon the subject that there would be no saving to the Government in the matter of ex- pense; and if this is so, what can be the object of the move? If it would not extend this article too far, a detailed showing could be made of the in- creased cost and delay of the plan, but-enough has been said to make it ‘ ‘in order" for our m.-lg- nanimous aild patriotic Sec-retary to "rise and explain” upon what pretense of reform he advo- catos the proposed plan of consolidation. PENSIONER. Tl-lE V in the back of the newest basques is very sharply accentuated, forming a p‘oint just below the waistline. Squalic backs of habit basques are quite long, spring off in “polka.” style smoothly over the hips, and the ribbon trimmings are in two rows that pass across the square ends, but are not on the sides, which are merely biped with silk. Nearly all such basque-i have leadcn weights attached to the lining to keep the eilds from turn- ing up. A long-looped bow, very narrow and with short ends, is at the tip end of such basques; that seen on the belted habit basque illustrated, is as good model of this new bow on the back.

March 27.—Ruthei-ford, in a. reckless momont,’i-elievcd himself of the opinion “that, after old Hamlin, Howe was the meanest man in the Senate.” This challenge to combat was taken up, and the Executive°ears must have burned Monday afternoon, when the Senate gal- leries were packed and the floor crowded with intent listeners to the arraignment of the Admin- istration. The silver-haired Senator laid down the facts, and read .his speech in an unusually ﬁne manner,and the ladies in the kallery admired his good looks and enjoyed the hard hits he was - giving. Senator H-owe has been here seventeen years, and, with his most interesting family, has made apleasant place for himself in the social way. The Senator is a tall, smooth-faced gentle- tleman of sixty years, with strong features, a keen eye. and a crown of smooth. thick, silvery hair. His manner is singularly quiet and cold, but under his frosty appearance there is a world of fun and humor. No one enjoys a joke better, and his wit and sarcasm are touched with an addi tional point by the grave and solemn manner in which they are uttered. In the reserved gallery kept apart for the wives of Senators and members. and wickedly called ‘ ‘the preserves,” there was a fair assemblage of beauty. Mrs. Willis, of New York, whose face of pure and poetic beauty enrantures every one, occupied a front seat, and as in every other place she far outshone the ladies near her, although two of them, Mrs. Dorsey and Mrs. Conover, are celebrated and rival beauties. Mrs. Dorsey, from Arkansas by way of the inevitable State of Ohio, is a perfect little brunette beauty. A clear com- plexion, bright cheeks, small mouth and wide open,childish eyes are her chief pel-fections. Her graceful little ﬁgure is always arrayed in rich and elegant garments, and by her perfect taste in dress her beauty is shown to the best eﬁ'ect_. Mrs. Dorsey has always been a favorite in society, and the first winter she was here she created a gen- uine furor; every one raved ‘over her beauty, and their entertainments were given in grand style in the house afterwards taken by the Austrian Minister. This last summer the little lady spent in New Mexico, camping out with her husband and at party of pleasure-seekers. They ﬁshed, hunted—lived on horseback, fairly—-and one day this modern Diana rode ﬁfty-seven miles in the chase after antelopes. New Mexico was an El Dorado for her, and Newport and Sal-atoga as summer resorts dwindle down to the vanishing point of insigniﬁcance by comparisop. Mrs. Conover is the wife of the Senator from Florida, whose recent exploits in the hat business have made him notorious. The Senator wore a most disreputable-looking and unbecoming hat. at which the editor of one of the city papers so unceasingly railed that the Honorable Conover bought himself a ﬁve-dollar felt and sent the bill to the critical editor to pay. That hat occasions remark whenever it comes in sight or is laid hands on, and the Senator made a capital record. Mrs. Conover, however, wears lovely hats and bonnets, and occasions no detracting remarks by , her head gear. She has atall, slender ﬁgure, ﬂufl’.v light hair, gray eyes. ﬁne teeth an a bean- tiful smile. Her hand, wrist and arm are most perfectly modeled, and in the management of a fan she is a graceful adept. Lotta,tlle spirit of fun. was here last week, and in spite of her alleged thirty-five years. is as lively as a cricket, skips and dances about the stage a perfect little witch. Besides being the newsboys’ favorite and the goddess of the pea- nut gallei-y,she is the Congressman’s favorite, and her beneﬁt night was like a non-partisan caucus in the wholesale attendance of Congres- sional folk. With her hand full of molassesand the green sunbonnct down over her nose, Lotta 3 the right of them are three little yellow twlnxlerl srltanged like the Ereater stars in the belt of Orion. Aldebaran, the bright star in that war. rior and hunter's shoulder, blazes in agreat gold. on epaulete, but Sirius is the great light of the sky since the planets are out. That star, when it shines down the telescope, is agolden, glowing mass, burning with a lambezit orange ﬂame and dazzling with its brilliancy. The double star in Castor twinkled its twin lights—the one vivid pur- ple, the otlier yellow-both by the intensity of their coloring seeming to ﬂash and vary. The North Star, that massive luminary that can nev/er be found when wanted, shivered a little cold light and looked like nothing in particular. With hosts of others, I bear a grudge against that nec- essary star, becauseit never can be found when you want it. Trace out the whole of the little dipper, follow up its crooked handle, and ten to one when you get there Polaris is not about. The infallible rule to securely spot it is to follow an imaginary line from two stars in the great dipper, but then one forgets which start the line is to start from, and the north star is at unattainable as ever. Two of the Professors are especially agreeabld in showing and explaining their building and in- struments. Prof. Hall has distinguished himself the world over by his recent discovery of the satellites of Mars, an achievement which reflect: singular credit to American astronomists. Prof. Hall is short, round-faced, and might look like a merry, rollicking personage were it not for the sedate wrinkles of his brow that tell of his deep wrestlings with nature and science. With I touch of his hand he swing: the great telescope around and has it at a precise line to the object he is seeking. He wears a tight little skull-cap, and seated in his high chair of observation, with a. rug wrapped around his feet, and looking through the grand glass, his lot is an envied one for an astronomer. Prof. Eastman, a tall, swinging New Englander, with a. chestnut beard, has devoted him- to transits and eclipses, and of the latter he has had a large acquaintance. When we had our particular eclipse of 1870 he witnessed it in its total obscurity at Burlington, Iowa . A few years ago he went over to watch the total eclipse in Sicily, and had a fairly exciting time of it. The intelligent people of Palermo took the party of skull—capped Americans, with their strange. in- struments and pre-occupied airs, for conspira- tors, wizards and emissaries of Satan generally. A large bastion of the old city wall was assigned them by the Governor for an observatory, and a company of trained infantry detailed to protect them,in their labors. As the shadow crept over the sun the chickens went to roost and every one looked like corpses in the green and ghastly light. the populace started to inflict their wrath on the stranger magicians who had caused it. As they came near the air blackened, the soldiers dropped their arms and took to their heels, and the people, falling on their knees, prayed with all their might, and the astronomers in the bastion made most perfect and valuable observations during the silence, and left the place unharmed. ‘ RUIIAMAH. CATHOLIC COLOR IZATION. - Adjourned Meeting of the St. Louis Catholic Colonization Society. An adjourned meeting of the St. Louis Catholic Colonization Association was held in the Annun- ciation School IIall,corner of Sixth and Chouteau avenue, at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. About ﬁfty members attended. The President, Mr. Patrick McGraw, was prevented by a severe ill- ness from being present, so the meeting was called to order by Mr. John M. Hennessy, Vice President. Secretary John P. Kelly read the minutes of a meeting held the Sunday previous,and on motion these minutes were approved. The Chair stated that the principal object of the did Musette to perfection, but when Mrs. Gel-mon, in the character of Selina Bokus, stepped upon the stage clad in a fate simile of Dr. Mary Walk- er’s garments, the house made an astonished si- lence, and then burst into 9. ﬁve minutes’ roar. meeting was to solicit subscriptions for shares of stock from the Catholics of Annunciation Parish; also to receive money from any stockholders who hail been assessed and were as yet in arrears. In asking any one to take stock, the Association was by no means begging for money—tliat would all be The resemblance in face and in every detail was so perfect, that those who have seen the nonde- script creature on the streets could hardly con- vince themselves that it was not the healing he- roine of the late war. Even to the absurd little lisp in her high, screeching tones, the character was a perfect counterfeit of Mary Walker. She charged around the stage, umbrella in hand, and the gamins in the gallery howled with delight, for it is against their unchecked demonstrations that the Doctor wants to exercise the authority of a policeman. Since the statement to Congress of the needwof a new Observatory here, the subject has been al- lowed to rest in the cntombment of a committee room . The case was urgently stated, that the institution needed larger and better accommoda- tions to be able to fully realize its usefulness; that the present location by the river bank was a serious disadvantage by reason of the heavy fogs that obscured and injured the instruments, and last, that these same malarious fogs did not con- duce to the health of the people stationed there. Rear Admiral Rodgers, the Superinteiident of the Observatory, in his zeal for the cause, has issued cards to Senators and members for the Friday evenings of March and April, and on these even- ings he and his most excellent wife keep open house, and all the aid of the Professors and tel- escopes are called in to assist the Congressional crowds in star-gazing. The large parlors of the Superintendent's house, adjoining the Observa- tory, are thrown open, and their rich and curious contents are more attractive to some than all the wonders of the ﬁrmament. Every remote corner of the globe has been laid under contribution in the long cruises of the Admiral. in the days gone by when the American navy was something. tare Chinese plates of the Nankiii blue, and oth- ers whose rose and green chrysanthe- mums, corkscrewed dragons and perfect ﬁnish tell of the art of the Ming dynasty, are afllxed to the walls, and on mantelpieccs, consoles and brackets are scattered rare pieces of diverse and grotesque shapes. The refreshments are served on a mar- vellous set of cups and plates, rioting in the bright colors and minute perfection of the Chi- nese potters twenty years ago,before the keramic craze tempted them to inferior work. Large lac- quered quivers and bows fitted with artistically _wrougllt arrows hang at either side of the folding doors, and the arrangement of all the strange things shows the perfect eye and taste of Mrs. Rodgers. The Admiral is a si.out, digniﬁed tar, with pink countenance, white hair and whiskers, and has the stately courtesy of the good old days. He is the most agreeable of hosts, and with an untiring care sees that every guest is well at- tended to. At an early hour the carriages roll up to the Observatory, and the minute one turns down Twenty-third street, that leads to it, a faint, warin,sickl_v smell comes up from the half- mile strip of river-mud left exposed by the falling tide. The wet, ﬁshy smell increases by approach and in summer time the scent is borne afar and the mists and fog rise so thick that no observations can be taken. The Admiral and his family must leave their home in May, un - less they court death by malaria, and keep away uiiti1Noveinber,t:ikiug a house in a more healthy part of the city. As fast as their guests arrive they are sent over to the Observatory in small parties to have a peep through the telescope and go through the building. Few know that we own the largest astronomical telescope in the world, the diameter of the great object glass being 28 inches, exceeding by several inches the instruments at Greenwich and Paris. The mon- ster teleecopc has a rotunda obsei'vatoi'y with a movable dome all by itself, and a lligli staging, with aslidiiig seat, moves around the edges of the room on a grooved track. Sitting up in this high chair one looks through the thirty feet of steel tube, and the great object glass, and sees the glories of the celestial world. Two weeks ago the moon poured her clear light through the tube, and showed the mountains, craters, shadowy plains and seas of her surface. The smooth line of its edges was broken, jagged and rough on one side, where the light of the rising sun behind it showed the inequalities of siirface. The burned out and deserted luminziry is a most beautiful sight through the great telescope, but the magniﬁed brightness of its rays is as blinding to the eye as a square look at the sun. Since the moon has gone down, the stars are brought forward for show, and new the telescope is aimed sfteliest at the nebula in the .-word h_an- die of Orion. This cloudy spot is resolved in four l vari-colored stars in an irregular square, and to returned with interest, as the money is invested in good farm land,being constantly improved and increasing in value-but every stockholder is lending aid and support to a most laudable cause, the establishment of Catholic colonies. He had only to read the constitution and by-laws of the organization to understand how safely the affairs were conducted. Immediately after this gentleman had conclud- ed a in e number of stockholders come forward and pai their assessments, something like 560 being received by the Treasurer. Rev. Father Butler, and before the meeting adjourned about twenty new shares had been sold. This number was large as could reasonably have been expected from the few who were present; but in order to increase the sale a committee of four was chosen from the parishioners to solicit subscri lion for stock from others in the parish. The fol owing is the committee: James Ilarily, Chairman, James Ruaile, Patrick Ticrilcy and Cornelius Creedon. The Chairman has the authority to increase the committee if he sees fit. It seems that about January 1, of this year, a dispute arose between two of the land purchas- ers, Mr. Moliler and Mr. Guerin, as to which one of the two owned a certain piece of land in Pot- tawattomic County, bought from the Association and designated as southwest quarter section 23, township 6. range 9. Accordingly a committee was appointed, about two weeks ago, to investi- gate the matte.-r. Yesterday they made a very brief report, stating that, in their opinion, the difficulty arose in a measure through the negli- gence and error of the Secretary, and they rec- ommended that as Mr.vGuei'in was on the land and working it he be allowed to keep the same. This report was adopted. A vacancy having occurred in the committee appointed at a previous meeting to investigate tllllﬂi books, Mr. Matthew Ityaii was chosen to if t. On motion, tliemec-tint: adjourned to meet next Sunday in St. T~IlCl'0.Sa'S pal-isii, probably in the St. Theresa School llall, on Grand avenue, near Parsoiis.

It will com- plicate the Senatorial struggle considerably. Then there will be a Prohibition ticket, too; but we presume the Governor thinks he is en- titled to the support of the Prohibitionists. THE Missouri Greenbackers, or Nationals, or whatever else they may call themselves, have agreed to meet in State Convention at Sedalia on the 19th of June to nominate a State ticket. It is the duty of all good Re- publlcans to help this movement for the sake of the harm it will do to the Democratic party. THE meeting at Teutonla Hall this, evening promises to be very large and of surpassing interest to property owners. Everybody in the Seventh District who feels that he has been unjustly served by the Assessor will be there. From what we have heard, these comprise all the citizens who are not office- holders or prominent politicians. We under- stand that Mayor Overstolz and President Powers of the Board of Assessors will be present to explain why an increase of nearly 50 per cent has been made in the assessed value of real estate in this district. They will be heard with attention. PERHAPS somebody will tell us what is the use of being a gentleman’s son, if that dis- tinction is to be unaccompanied by the priv- ilege of “beating” your way through the world. The inquiry seems pertinent. in view of the untimely fate of a social organization known as the Gentlemen’s Sons’ Club of New York. It was started a few months ago; it occupied splendid apartments; it did‘/, to out- ward appearances, a ﬂourishing business. But it has come to grief ; it is no more. And the only reason for its decease is that it utterly refused to pay its bills. It mocked the wine merchant; it laughed the butcher and the baker to scorn; it told the landlord to whistle for his rent; and ﬁnally it broke up, and its members found themselves in the Tombs. All this is very discouraging to the large and constantly increasing number of young men whose souls are ﬁlled with a noble ambition to be gentlemen’s sons. MR. JOHN MCCULLOUGH, who will appear nightly at the Olympic Theater for the next two weeks, came to St. Louis a few years ago a stranger to the city, and, in the capacity of a ‘ ‘star’ ’ actor, almost a stranger to the dra- matic world. He had been a successful sup- porter of Mr. Forrest, and a successful man- ager; but his reputation as an artist was yet to be made. The history of the stage affords no parallel to the rapid strides to the forefront of his profession made by Mr. McCullough since that time. He was then a good actor; he is now a very great-actor, if indeed- taking into account the wide range of charac- ters assumed by him, and the uniform suc- cess with which he enacts them-—any living man can be said to be his superior. In some of the most diﬂicult roles of tragedy he is without an equal in this country or in Europe. He has attained this great pro-eminence by patirnt work, thought and study, re-enforc- ing natural gifts of an extraordinary quality, all carefully kept in subjection to the one great énd of artistic success, as the product of artistic merit. St. Louis has reason to be proud_of so grand a career, of which she may be considered the starting point. Her peo- ple will, we are sure, take occasion of Mr. McCullough’s present engagement to renew their testimony to his worth as a great actor. ALCOHOLIC and malt liquors cause more than two-thirds of the cost of all municipal government. Intoxication makes it neces- saryto maintain very large police forces; ﬁlls our jails, penitcntiaries, houses of refuge, orphan asylums and work houses. Why, then, should not the liquor traﬁic bear its burden of municipal taxation? The whole country is studying this problem at present, and the common verdict is that a new system must he adopted. The present license sys- tem is unfair and inadequate, in that it makes A larger line of ' no distinction between bars that take in $500 without an appeal to the State Legislature. Give t-he bell-punch a trial. THE country will stand aghast at the re- assessed him $2,500 for campaign purposes. What did he expect when he accepted the nomination? Why did he suppose that he of conducting a campaign for the triumph of great principles as not to know that a nomi- nation" meant subsequent literary eﬁbrts in his check;book? Why, Mr. Mason, they all do it. From the village Constable up to the President, every official is expected to pay his share of the expenses. When Mr. Tilden wanted to serve his country, he rolled out his “bar’l.” When Mr. Hayes was placed at the head of the late Republican ticket, he mildly but ﬁrmly drew a couple of checks on the deposits left by his good uncle Birchard. ‘Va would like to ask Mr. Mason how he supposes members of the Legislature and of Congress are chosen. Why, the expenses must be paid by somebody, and why not by the men who pocket the emolu- ments and stagger beneath the emoluments? What is a paltry $2,500 for the honor of run- ning against somebody else for Mayor of our charming suburb, Kansas City? Why, our candidates for Mayor have to put up more than that fora ward. The great and good ‘man who holds the government of this city in the hollqw of his hand would smile at a triﬂing assessment like that. We trust that Mr. Mason will not be wrong-headed in this matter. A man hardly ought, in modesty, to set himself up very high above his neighbors, and, inasmuch as all other candidates are as- sessed for campaign purposes, a Republican candidate for Mayor should not kick. In- deed, we are inclined to regard the whole story as a campaign lie, gotten up to aid the other side. THE BANKRUPT LAW. Since a bill has been reported in Congress for the repeal of the bankrupt law, public attention has been particularly attracted to the merits and demerits of that statute, and petitions for and against its repeal have been forwardedto Senators and Representatives. It is safe to say that ninety-nine out of every hundred honest business men in the land are Wholly in favor of wiping out this unjust and destructive statute. It has done more to corrupt commercial morality and to kill legiti- mate buslness enterprise than can be told, and its evil inﬂuence has become so great and widespread that there can be no hope of better times until it has been blotted out forever. It is true that stren- uous efforts are making to prevent the passage of the bill for its repeal, but they are in the interest of dishonest debtors and the lawyers and oﬂicials who. ﬁll their pockets under its operations.‘ Many good people who know nothing of the corruption it works are induced to sign remonstrauces against its re- peal, in tho delusive belief that it is a protec- tion to the debtor class. It was originally de- signed to guard the interests of both debtors and creditors, but it was framed in so bung- ling a manner, and so many abuses have grown up under it. that it defeats the ends for which it was created, and instead of pro- tecting the property of honest men it has be- come a ‘ ‘feuce” for thieves. Before its enactment complaint was made that the various State laws for the protection of credit and the collection of debt were so conﬂicting that it was quite impossible for merchants to make sales on time to men liv- ing in distant States, without ﬁrst ransack- ing the statute books to learn what risk they were taking in granting credits. This measure was designed to make the laws relating to these matters uniform for all parts of the country. One of its ﬁrst and most noticea- ble effects was a vast and unprecedented ex- tension of the credit system, which in its turn fostered and encouraged a tendency to wild speculation. The results are to be seen on every hand. The law has become a cover for rascality. Under its pro- visions a dishonest man who can obtain credit may purchase a stock of goods and set up in competition with others who are striving to make an honest living. Having the peaceful haven of bankruptcy always before his eyes, he is enabled to undersell his neighbors, and often to utterly destroy their business. Hav- ing done this, he can seek protection from his creditors by ﬁling apctition or compelling them to do it. This done, they are at his mercy. Originally, the theory was that if a man tried to evade his creditors in this way he could be forced through bankruptcy and be obliged to divide all he had among the men whoscproperty be had taken. In prac- tice, it was found that-this was impracti- cable. The lawyers and the oﬂicials ate up everything. Composition was next resorted to, and it has become so general that the law might now be safely. defined as an act to com- pel a man’s creditors to divide their property in the way that pleases him best. Experience shows that where the bankruptcy act is en- forced the creditors do not receive more than 5 per cent of the amount due them, and that in composition they get about 15 per cent. Another great cause of injury to legiti- mate business is the assignee’s sale. When it happens that a merchant makes an assign- ment and a sale is ordered, the entire stock of goods is thrown upon the market at once, to be sold for "what it will bring, which is usually less than 50per cent of cost. The eﬂect of this on competing houses doing an honest business in small towns can be easily imagined. While such things can happen it is idle to hope for a revival of business. So 1 a day and those that take in but $5, and it does not produce a revenue from the liquor traffic at all proportionate to the cost of this industry to the community. The true excise law is the Moﬁett law, with its register or bell-punch atta.chment. The growth of public sentiment in favor of it is marvelous. If it were left to a vote of the people of St. Louis to-morrow, the bell-punch would be adopted by a rousing majority. Why should we not, collect $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 annually in this way? We have no doubt that our Mu- nicipal Legislature has ample power to pass an ordinance adopting the Moﬁett register as a part of our license system. They certainly have the power to decide the amount of licensefees to lie paid by_ liquor dealers, and this being so. they can adopt this new system ported action of Mr. A. L. Mason, of Kansas . City, who, having ‘received the Republican nomination for Mayor, Saturday declined to be a candidate because the committee had was picked out from among the hundreds of willing Republican patriots of Kansas City to. be a" banner bearer? Was he so innocent of all knowledge concerning the modern manner long as the law encourages raseality legiti- mate enterprise will bo at a discount. Re- peal the law and men will know what to ex- pect. Sellors will be more careful in grant- ing credit. and honest buyers will have less to fear from dishonest competitors. The Government has no right to step in between creditors and debtors to work injustice to either. Inasmuch as the people who are in- terested in retaining this law upon our stat- ute books are making special cﬁorts to inﬂu- ence Congress, it would be proper and sensi- ble for our merchants to forward petitions for its repeal. THE NEW SCHOOL REPORT. We have received advance sheets of the report of the Superintendent (Harris) of the St. Louis Public Schools for the year 1876-77. We have of late had frequent occasion to dis- cuss questlons connected with the manage- ment of our school, and have watched with interest for the appearance of this year’s re- port, hoping to ﬁnd-it more satisfactory than most of its predecessors. It is unfortunate that reports of this kind are so slow in making their appearance. This bears date August 1, 1877, and it will not be ready for distribution for several weeks to come. VVith so large a force of Superintendents and clerks, there seems no good reason why it should not have appeared six months ago. We regret that the Superintendent or the School Board did not favor the public with their views con- cerning the necessity for enlarged school ac- commodations and the better adaptation of the course of instruction to the wants of the average child. The excuse is doubtless to be found in the fact that the report was pre- pared before public attention had been so pointedly called to these vital questions. We can not here go over the report in de- tail, but will simply call attention to a few of the-more important facts and ﬁgures con- tained in.it; and these, we believe, show conclusively the urgent need there is for immediate reform in our school management. There were, on October 1, 1877, 146,000 chil- dren drawing school money in‘ this city. These were between the ages of six and twenty years. Of these, 111,400 were be- tween six and sixteen years of age, and 42,436 entered the day schools; 5,240 more were enrolled in the evening schools; making a total enrollment during the year of 47,676. The number enrolled in the district schools was 39,133; in the branch high schools, 906; in the high school, 351; in the normal school, 215; in the colored schools, 1,831. The number enrolled includes all the chil- dren who entered the schools during the year. It must not be confounded with the number in actual attendance, which is much smaller. The average attendance was 30,205 in the ﬁrst quarter, and 29,033 in the last quarter of the school year. Now, when the question of teaching German is be- ing so vigorously discussed, it will be inter- esting to know that 71 per cent of the chil- ' cent in other places. _dren enrolled were born in St. Louis; 11 per cent in Western States and Territories; 6 per cent in Missouri outside of the city; 3 per cent in the Middle and the same in the South- ern States; 1 per cent in New England; 1 per cent in Great Britain; 1 per cent in Ireland; lper cent in the German States, and2 per No table is given show- ing the percentage of children whose parents are foreign-born citizens. One of the most interesting tables contain- ed in the report is that showing the number of children of six years of age and upward, by years, in the schools. It appears that of the entire number enrolled 22 per cent were six years of age and under; 35 per cent were under seven; 47 per cent were under eight; 58 per cent were under nine, and 68 per cent were under ten. From this it would appear that 68 per cent of our pupils are included be- tween thc ﬁrst and ﬁfth year grades, and the remaining 32 per cent are scattered along the grades of the other seven years. The aver- age attendance in the high school and all its branches, for the year, was 2.35 per cent of the whole number in attendance in all the schools. These ﬁgures speak forcibly of the necessity that exists for such a change in our course of instruction as will give the children who leave school before the end of the ﬁfth year larger acquaintance with the more useful common branches. It can not be shown that these acquire a fair knowl- edge of arithmetic, English or geography to ﬂt them for the inevitable duties of every- day life, under the present system. We are speaking now of those who spend ﬁve years in school. Superintendent Harris reiterates his former declaration that the average child remains in school less than three years. How does our present system ﬁt this “average child” for the work before him? We have no disposition to be unreasonable, and we are well aware of the impossibility of shaping a course of instruction that will give a reason- able and useful amount of education to every child that enters our schools, but we are con- vinced that more attention should be paid to this “average child,” and that some steps should be taken to discover the causes which keep 83,000 of the children between six and sixteen years of age out of our public schools. To be sure, i a large proportion of these have attended from a few months to ﬁve years, and another portion are in the private schools. But allowing that 50,000 will cover both these classes, we ﬁnd that upward of 30,000 of our youth are grow- ing up in absolute ignorance. Can nothing he done to reach these waits? Are not thou- sands of them now willing to attend our schools, and -are they not prevented by the plentiful lack of accommodations furnished by the school authorities, while the public funds are expended f0P’IllStI‘llctl0ll in purely ornamental branches? In this connection it is in order to state that the cost of instruction per pupil of the whole number enrolled, ac- cording to Mr. Harris, was $20 19 for the year. As the number in actual attendance at any time was but two-thirds of the number enrolled, it would seem that the real cost of instruction was a little more than $30 per pupil. It would be interesting to know ‘just what proportion of this sum is expended for necessary branches, and what for those that may be classed as ornamental, but no statis- tics are given from which such information can be gathered.

It has been reproduced in an up-town restaurant as Administration soup. VINNIE REAM is reported to be on the eve of matrimony. ' NEW roux rAsH1oNs. ‘The New Things in Costume, Bonnets and Underwear. ' [From Our Own Con-espondont..| Nnw Yonx, March 22.-“One can not exercise too many talents,’ ’ people who try to do too many things never really do anything. That is what is the matter with us all, and with everythins now- Idaye, we try to do too much, and never really well do even the smallest of the many thinsegwo attempt, because we are pursued by the demons of hurry and drive. Our days, our weeks. our months, our seasons, will ovcrcap each other, and we have rarely completed the work of one when the other begins . Women get the worst of it, however, because their dress is such an ever- lasting burden and nuisance to them, that is to 5110 Women. and these are the majority, whose lives are ﬁlled with other cares, whose work is complicated and many-sided. Our observances. religious and other, are more pretenses, and the more of a sham they are, the more fuss we’ make about them. Is it the climate, or our politics that creates the ﬂushes, revulsions and ﬂuctuations from which we suffer, and which we live, and move, and have our living? _ Just now itis Lent, and though through this period we are supposed to put away all wordly vanities, yet not a few women consider the Lenten observance a special act of Divine Pro- vidence to enable them to get up their new spring clothes. New fashions in millfncry following the traditions of the past make their appearance, and new styles in fabric set aside all the pretty things which have gone before, and must be had at any cost, though trunks and closets are full of unused finer-_v. Is it necessary for women to sacriﬁce themselves in order that the arts and the industries may live? Must it be forever change" upon change-— novelty, depression and revival, a perpetual same in which women are forced to take part, or do so for lack of anything better to occupv time and attention? It is certainly demanded of women that they shall save this, that or the other, their children, their husbands, the industries, the arts, the old habits which they never saw, costumes of which per- haps they never heard, but who, and what is to save women, pressed under the heavy weight of this many-headed jug/eernaut? We congratulate ourselves and think itis a great step in advance when one great man acknowledges to the world the measure of his success as well as his happi- ness that he owes to his wife, but do we realize now may thousand little men are at the same time charging their wives with their failures. visiting upon their heads the wrath which they feel towards the world in general? NEW FASHIONS. The exhibition of new styles,which takes place at this season, the swarming of bees around the pot of honey, which are temptingly opened, are a neces- sary part of, but at the same time one of, the most hopeless indications of our civilization. How can this tide be stemmed? How can it be turned in any direction and not absorb, penetrate, over- whelm and destroy?‘ The sources of the strength of men are to be found more in what they have . got rid of than what they have got that women have not. Happy beings! they have got rid of ‘ ‘openings ;” of dressing, in order to be attractive, or in order to heighten the beauty of their eyes, their hair or pheir complcxfons, they can get up in the morn- ing, put themselves into their clothes all right, if there is no actual break, lost button or unlucky streak of _ new paint, and they can go out at night without the expense of carriage and with no preparation, save 10 cents for a but- ton-hole bouquet, for. at the last momont,.gloves not too clean,’ but who cares? are always to be ﬁshed up by the half-dozen out of the depths of those farhomless pockets. Yet I think men more invariably look well in their good clothes than women; the worn, haggard face looks all the more worse in light, bright attire, and how often the glitter of the frame serves to show the Pover- ty of the picture! But what has this to do with new fashions? Perhaps the sight of them ren- ders them a little morbid, knowing what they mean to so many women, for the diminution of any part of their elaboration and complexity is a delusion and a snare, and the spirit of evil seems to be at work all the time to undo or neutralize the good that has been done. Fortunately, the worst samples are not contagious, or only to a very limited extent. The masses do not see them, and the cost removes them from the region, even of desire, if they did. Still there is enough that is left to ﬁll the lives of nine out of every ten women with anxiety, labor and harassing care. How is the idol of yesterday, made up of two skirts and a basque, to be transformed into the idol of to-day, which consists of a robe cut all in one with no over-skirt and no basque? This is a problem that Euclid himself could not have solved. Then what is to become of the fringes of last year, since silk or ribbon loops have taken their place? All women have not the genius of a lady who made her litm- brequino and mantel drapery out of an old over-’ skirt-—lfning the brown material. to make it heavy enough, trinimed them with the woolen fringe bordering, and then took the money she would have spent for them and put itinto a new princess suit. - It is not likely any one will ‘ever know how much planning went into those ornamental ap- pendages, but imagine the brightness that con- ceived and the industry that executed such an idea exercised in some more proﬁtable ficlcil They would insure success. Another feature of the new fashion consists of innumerable pipings of silk, such as used to be called ‘ ‘millmer’s folds. ” They are a very neat, effective and apparently simple trimming, but they require a correct eye to cut them, an inﬁnite patience and deftness in the making and putting on to save them from being disﬁguring rather than ornamental. There are also quantities of infinitesimal ruilles used, ﬁne knife-plaited and but on in the most bewildering manner——starting from no one knows where, going no one knows how, and ending no one knows when. Colors may be musically described as symphonic. Cer- tainly they are mixed. very mixed, and graduate from high tones to low tones, or square oﬁ‘ at each other like pugilists in a ﬁght. Properly blended they might be supposed to produce har- mony; pitched at each other in ordinary fashion , they produce discord beside which a Chinese orchestra is melodious . The association of several dfﬁcrent colors together. which was new and first introduced into laces and lingeries and their trim. mings last year, seems to have taken the whole world of textile manufacture by storm. There is an epidemic of mixed colors, because the asso ciation is that of opposites and strong contrasts. The palest shade of blue is put with the deepest and darkest shade of red and the iron shade of green. Tliin-ribbed tissues, both light and dark, are knotted and dotted and sprinkled and inter- sected with bright lines and rivulcts of many colors, All these are more or loss associated with plain materials and fabrics; but the combi. nation must be more than tasteful-it must be artistic-—tc save it from incongrufty. In addition to the colors, there are the bead ornaments, which are used with a lavfshncss worthy of the Choctaws or any other tribe of ‘ ‘wi1d” Indians; and the laminced, or gold and silvered stuffs, gauzes, grenadfnes and the like, which are used largely in the making and trimming of summer bonnets and evening dresses, NOVELTY IN DESIGN. The best designs of the season are plain,and the changes are in the interest of convenience and comfort. The shape is well defined, but there are fewer strings and less drapery to tie back. The street garment is a long, plain polonaise, which fastens upon the side, and admits of no tournure. unless it is a small ﬂounced “extend- er,” where the skirt springs out to form a demi- traiu. With short costumes no such additions would be required. These polonaises are uni- formly made of the knotted or laminced fabrics which have acquired an unprecedented vogue. The first include the bourette cloths, and are seen in an endless variety of design, black, brown, gray, bronze, or olive green, serving as the foundation for a brillfantmixture of co_lor, which is, however, used in such inﬁnitesimal quantities as not to prove startling. The trimmings are pearl, smoked or iridescent, and double pipings of gut in the dark foundation color, and a lighter or brlghter shade. Fringe silk or woolen is not used at all upon street dresses, the costume being strictly composed of s1lk_and wool from the piece with trimmings of_ the silk, or of the two fabrics united. Kilt-plafted skirts for short costumes are greatly admired, and these are accompanied bya jacket fastened. cut away from the front, and fastened with one button, lnving the vest visible. The skirt is. of, course, all wool, and is attached to a yoke. The vest, real or simulated, is of silk. and the jacket piped with silk and finished with ﬁat collar and cuffs, made partly or wholly of silk. Street jackets are not so long as they were last fall, and nearly all are cut away from the front. or fasten upon the side, and ﬁnished tailor fashion. with stitching, or binding, and buitons.- Bodies or waists are cut the natural length. and. there is a revival of the pretty surplice style for washing-dresses, la_wns,muslins_. linens and baustes. The waist-plaited, or shirred, has also come back into favor, but is shaped more to the ﬁgure, under the arms. than when worn scv. eralycars ago. It is very pretty. and suitable for ginghams, percales and cheviots, and, in fact, for any of the minor summer materials ex- cept pique. Sleeves seem to have divided them- selves up into “ion_g"_ana “short” and “el. how,” the latter. which ‘is reserved for evening .and dinner dresses in winter, coming to the front in summer and_ being made to serve many uses on account of. its lightness and coolness. This summer they will be especially desirable for muslins. lawns and barage,_ because they afford an opportunity for the_ introduction of long mitts, which are a specialty in both white and black lace. Plzuiicr washing and ironing dresses are made with long_slccves, loose at the wrist, shirred blouse waists and a sort of straight scarf oversklrt, gathered and ﬁnished with square ends at the back, or a prin- cesse kilfed round the bottom, the front covered with a short, straight apron,drawn in at the back and tied with ribbons. Overskirts, when used . consist of_ one or more scarfs crossed and draped upon the sides. Some new spring suits - are composed of plain mills and striped silk and wool, in an alternate open and brocadod pattern, the brocaded ﬁgure being the same color as tho faille. The striped material is practically used to compose the dress,which is in the brincessc style for there is nothing below it but ﬁne shells an narrow knife plaltings of the fame, which is also used to edge in the some manner a round man- telot, with square ends in front. In addition. the fame is used for piplngs, for ﬁat revere collar and cuffs, and also for bows. With the short dress of cashmere, which is becoming a great favorite, the round, coachmaivs capo is admired. NEW BONNETS. Milllnery is in reality making a desperate ef- fort to live. Forty dollars, even $20, for a bon- net secms a good deal to_pay nowadays, and there are not enough who can. or are willing to do it, to keep about the numerous ﬁne establish- monts which used to occupy many of the ﬂnest private dwellings in aristocratic up-town streets. One milliner who had made a fortune, and lost it, went out of the business $25,000 worse than nothing one year ago, all her customers believ- mg that she retired on half a million at least. Others, and they among the bestNew York at- forded, reduced little by little their stock and their pretensions, until obscurity closed over them. Perhaps they are now working at so much per week for some wise or lucky graduate of their handsome establishment.Women have more bon- nets than they used,but they cost them less. They buy materials and make them to match suits, or they purchase the ﬁnished straws, felt or velvet, twist a piece of gauze or a scarf -‘srounsl them, clasp it with pearls or silver whip. and lo! a hat or a bonnet, as the case may be. There is nothing so fashionable in the best society as a hat or a bonnet. to match. A $40 bonnet with a tweed traveling suit would be laugfiingly vulgar and absurd. A plain hat of tweed, piped with silk and ﬁnished with a band of galloon would be ‘ ‘style,” at a cost, if home-made, of about$l 50. This is what milliners have not and can not or will not get through their heads. Nor are they so much to be blamed. Ladies may get their seamstresses or costumers to make up a traveling hat, but they like to be “exclusive.-.’ ’ about their bonnets. They like to go to an elegant house in a quiet street. have a colored man in livery ‘to open the door, and he waited upon by a magniﬁ- cent Madame in a trailing robe of silk. They like to see the newest things from Virot, or Hamm. or Gfllott, even if they can not afford to buy them. a.nd they want the very ﬁnest in feathers and ﬂowers, in silks and ribbons. in gauzes and in laces; more- over they want that indescribable chic, that per- fection of ﬁnish which proclaims the artist. and for all that they mustpay. Shades, textures, de- sign in materials, genius in putting together, are all the work of special hands specially paid. and selected by a specially trained eye and the capable purse. An untrained person would not even know or recognize their claims to distinction, and this is the reason why so many consider a large sum of money thrown away on so unimportant an object; but in reality it is not; it is not alone the article that it pays for. it pays for special apti- tudes, special care. special study and special work; therefore, if any one can aﬁ‘ord to pay $40 fora bonnet, let her do it, she is doing better than she knows. Bonnets this season take largely of the capotc form and set close to the head. They have great- er breadth than formerly, but narrow brfms, which sometimes spring out slightly, like a Marie Stuart cap; but they do not show such fantastic variations as have been observed for a few sca- sons set. The new bonnet par excellence 18 of tinte white faile laid plain upon the foundation, and having a double brim, one ofwhich lays close to the hcad,_the other slightly indented in the middle, and springing out from it gives the Marie Stuart eﬁ'cct before alluded to. The edges of both brims are sown with pearls, which increases the resemblance, and it is further strengthened by lining the upper brim with black velvet. But plain silk bonnets have never found favor in the eyes of American women—they prefer the soft crown in silk, and they are right; thcre_ is not enough body to silk to hold or reﬁect light or shade, and it therefore looks ﬁat unless the surface is raised, roughened or corrugated by being made full. There is a simplicity about the plain bonnets which is pleasing, and particularly attractive in beige shades of rich silk. finished with loops of narrow satin ribbon of t c same color lined with white. Add to this a co lo of soft ostrich tips shaded from light to dark, in beige color, and clasp and ornaments of pearls, and there is a bonnet distinguished enough for a Princess, and plain enough for a Quaker. Nearly are tied under the chin with satin-faced ribbon. This cape is sometimes split and turned up over the soft crown, 3 row of satin loops furnishing the finish at the back. This may be the case when the brim and cape are of straw, and the crown of _silk; and we observed also in an exquisite» evening lbonnet, _in which the capote crown was of While tulle, the brim and cape of white satin edged with pearls, the latter split and turned up over the crown, and the ornaments two half ostrich, half marabout tips fastened with a pearl clasp. with pendant loops. There is no trimming, and no room for trimming inside the brim; a . narrow band alone holds it to the head, but this band is not unfrequenily studded with pearls and in oth- er cases a narrow fringe of amber or shaded bunze beads ﬁnishes the upper edge. Aqueer little Poke bonnet,shaped very much as if a large cabbage leaf were folded together and put over the head, is designed for young girls, but it is not at all likely they will change the stylish, pretty round but and Gainesborouzh, which still holds it place,‘for a shapeless oddity which docsnot even afford protection to the face. UNDERWEAR. There are many different kinds of underwear nowadays, and ladies can choose to suit them- selves. The “practical” kind consists of several garments in one, is high in the neck and long in the sleeves, and, like the princessc dress, forms a complete undersuit without division, being cut all in one . Using a slight gauze vest for a foun- dation for a corset, if one is worn, a garment of this kind is all that is necessary as a foundation for the skirts, and ﬁlls the place of chemise, drawers and corset-cover. It is not beautiful, ,_but is plain, simple, easy, and well adapted for women of business, for ’ workers, or for traveling purposes. Women who do not need the economics, and who wish to be beautiful, adhere to the diversiﬁed garments, and have them made exquisitely, with masses of lace and embroidery, and dainty ﬁnish- ing of delicate blue or pink, use blue riblaons,very narrow. and arranged in bows formed of many small, ﬁat loops. At present there are three quite distinctive styles for fashionable underwear; one is round, the other square, the other the Breton. Each of these seems the prettiest till you have seen the other, they are outlined so charmingly and tin- ished so coquettishly. There are also three styles of trimming which are equally fashionable, so that it is a more matter of taste to choose between them , and in getting up 3 trousseau one dozen of each is generally furnished. The trimmings con- sist ei torchin lace, Irish crocheted lace or Irish point and French needlework. All have their good points, but the laces carry oil‘ the palm for durability. Ul'ldel‘akl1‘tS are not made as long as formerly with trained dresses; the balaycuses are pleat- ings of stiff‘ white muslin with or without a lace edge. which may be bastcd ill under the train to any depth, and all round the bottom 0 the skirt. These retain their place while the skirt was sweeping aside and displacing or exposing the underskirts. The undersklrts, both short and long. are gathered at the back into a deep yoke which covers the hips and preserves the outline of the form. In front and upon the side they are left as nearly straight as posssfble. All except very short skirts have 9. drawing string run in about twelve inches below the line of the waist, which masses the fullness, draws it towards the back, and keeps it in place. Dress extenders and the like show no fullness within several inches of the waistline, and generally consist of ﬂounced skirts or tournures arranged with strings to tie in front; a sortfof trussingproccss which is anything but agreeable. A lovely dressing-gown was made the other day which was quite original, and in fact the result of a momentary inspiration. It was of white nalusook, the side forms coming up in a. point under the arms. composed of fine ﬂat tucks al- ternating with insertions of Irish lace. The back was composed of lengthwise bands of Insertion. and a train of narrow and very ﬁne plaited ruffles. ~ The front had acascade of lace from top to bot- tom, and the Lrininimg consisted of mixed bows of cream, cardinal and scarlet. The sleeves cov- ered the elbow, and were ﬁnished with insertions, plaited ruiiies and bows of ribbon . JENNIE JUNE. Killed by the Cars. Between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning an accident, resulting in the death of James Weaver, occurred in the railway yards at Sixteenth and Ridgley streets. Weaver was in the employ of the Union Railway and Transit Company, pnd was engaged in coupling cars at the place indi- cated. After drawing a coupling pin no attempt- ed to cross an adjoining track. when he was knocked down and run over by engine No. 4 of the Transit Company, having both legs crushed below the knees. The Dispensary ambulance was sent for and the injured man was removed to the hospital, where he died yesterday morning at 10 o'clock During the afternoon the body was removed to the Morgue, where it will await the disposition of Weaver's friends. Deceased was twenty-six years of age and a single man. He had a sister in Rochester, New York, who has been notiﬁed of his death. No blame attaches to Clay Holland, who was in charge of engine No. 4.

' Some Question. To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat: Sr. Louis. March 30.-—PJease induce some of the distributors of our school fund to answer the following questions: 1. Are we able to educate all the children of St. Louis who are equally entitled to the beneﬁts of the school fund. in two languages? 2. Is it right to give any child the beneﬁt of two lan uages. when, to do so, we deprive other chi dren of all education in any language? 3. If we cannot teach-all in more than one lan- guage, then what language shell that be‘? . INQUIRER. _ Public Nurseries for Indigent Children. To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat‘: er.

German.- To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat: S1‘. LOUIS, March 30, 1878.-—IIaving watched with some interest the discussion about the ad- visability of continuing the study of German in the public schools, 1 concluded that my experi- ence as a German scholar might prove interest- ing. Being of German parentage, and speaking the German at home at the tune I attended the public school, I was, as a matter of course, far ahead of those that did not have these advan- tages. After leaving the public schools I attend- ed the St. Louis University, and there resumed the study of the German language with great success, taking the first prize. Now,’ during-all these years, my observations were that, however intelligent and attentive, the American—born student could‘ never speak the Germanxlanguage with any degree of proficiency, after having passed through the course of study, unless he was often brought in contact with Germans. Moreover, during the four years that I have been in business, I have been called upon to use Ger- man, and then as a matter of convenience and not necessity, no more than three times. It is also well known that many of our German teachers are sadly deﬁcient in their knowledge of the English grammar, and that the pronunciation and spelling of a great many of our boys are simply outrageous. I think that as much can be gained from afirst-class text-book on German as fgom our average teacher. If the object in view is to Amerleanize Germans, the only and proper way is to abolish German in order to secure that end, and devote the time to the better teaching of En- glfsli. . J. F. The Kindergarten Again. -To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat: Sr. Louis, March 28, 1878.-The cost of the kindergarten is stated at $30,000 per year, which is acommon charge upon the tax-payers. The children taught are of the tender age of four to six veurs—-a younger age than public education has heretofore taken under its care. The home nursery has taken care of these infants. The State is now asked to step in -and take charge of their earliest education, teaching them nursery stories. songs,plays, leap-frog and other childish amusements, suilicfent to divert, while some use- ful instruction can be worked _into their infantile comprehension, all of which is the cus- tomary work of fond mothers - at home. Does the theory of public education contem- plate such exhaustive instruction and diversion, the worst of which is diversion? Should public 0 be expended in supporting What might be down to the age of seven or even six years, on the supposition that such age is the youngest that public education should begin. should it go still lower, on the plea that infants are neglected at home? Can it be said that at such tender age, habits are formed that can not be correctedin the common schools? No educator will claim this. It is a useful institution. no doubt,‘ and relieves many mothers of much care. But this is not,pub- lic duty, and no reason for doing it. When youth are mature enough in mind to receive palpable mind-discipline, it becomes the duty of the State to provide their education as a safeguard of lib- art . Izis alleged that, in practice, none of the bet- ter classes patronize the kindergarten, while the theory of this department is to provide for the neglected, and, in fact, to be consistent, no other than vicious, ragged and dirty children should be admitted, while the great majority are of the higher classes, who have every care at home. We mightias well admit rich men to the poor house, sane men into an asylum, or well people to a hospital. Applicants for those boun- ties of the State have to prove themselves within the rule of the provision. Now, if the State wishes to carry public education to this extreme reﬁnement, and has plenty of money to do it with, gincl at the same time will not preclude older children from having the higher education, it may be right, yet very questionable. It is claimed that 30,000 more maiurocliildren are clamoring for the common education, -but no room for them. These must be provided for first, before nursing infants. Turn the kindcrgartens into “Number Twelves,” both as matter of ne- cessity and public duty. One word about German. The same theory ap- plies. The national language can only be taught by the State in general as a duty: If_German, when French, Italian, etc., and the State contrib- utes a Babel of tongues, where all laws are in one language.’ Languages are a discipline and an ac- complishment. Agood English education is all the State can, or need, attempt. That will pro- tect and adorn our liberties, and the possessor of such education will seek the higher collegiate, if desired. The high sciiool andlnormal are perhaps a stretch of the true prerogative of the State; but these provide teachers for the lower schools, who should be disciplined in all branches, and hence within the province of public education to a certain extent. HARTFORD. . Father Henry on Irish. Rev. James Henry, the pastor of Saint Law- rence O"I‘oole’s Church, who was so active in furthering the interests of the Irish language party, and was probably the most conspicuous among those who were and are still anxious to have it introduced into the public schools, has not given up the ﬁght because of the failure of the ﬁrst attempt. He is still sanguine of suc- cess, and believes that the language of the Em- erald Isle has as much right in the curriculum of public school studies as the Gqrmau or any other language, and, if one is continued, there is no reason in thcworldi why the others should not be introduced . This was about the gist of an inter- view which a GLOBE-DEMOCRAT reporter had the other day with Father Henry, but the con- versation was of such an interesting nature and so abundant in arguments in favor of the Celtic tongue, and the reason why the rising and future it will bear repetition. The GLOBE-DEMOCRAT reporter, who had an idea that the suggestion of the addition of _thc Irish language was a sort of huge joke, asked Father Henry if the petition had been presented in any hope that it would be favorably looked upon, and if, now that the School Board had de- cided adversely to it, there would be any future effort to renew it in a serious spirit? “Yes, indeed,” said the reverend gentleman, answering the latter part of the question first; ‘ ‘we haven't quite given up the struggle. and we hope ultimately to ﬁnd our efforts crowned with success. I feel certain that the Board of Public School Managers will see the necessity of recon- sidering the action they have taken, and that we will have Irish and every other language taught in our schools before long. The fact is, the poll- tion that was presented to the School Board, signed by some seventy persons, was ill-timed. There was no intention of presenting it until sev- eral thousand namcs had been attached, and then it would have come with more force.” The reporter suggested that there were the names of some very peculiar sort of people signed to the document. “Yes,” said the Father, “some of the names were calculated to bring ridicule upon the move- ment, and it was unfortunate that they were al- lowed to have anything to do with it. But we have a,petftfon in circulation now to which over -3.000 reputable names will be signed, and when this is done we will be prcp:ired_to make another appeal to the School Board, asking them that the mother tongue of apeople who constitute a great part of our population be perpetuated.” “Are you in favor of keeping German in the public schools. Father?” “Of course I am. Il.’s our only hope. If they throw German out of the studies, we can not expect them to teach Irish; but if they retain the German it is our intention to see that the Irish is also taught.” .. ‘ ‘But they will hardly listen to your demands?” “Why, my dear sir, are you aware that an in- junction could now be served upon them to pre- ventinstructions being, given in German?” The reporter was unable to understand the pos- sibility of such a course having any legal or other sanction. “tine Constitution of the United States,” co_n- tinued Father Henry, ‘ ‘expressly forbids dis- crimination in favor of any class or party, to the detriment of any otherclass or party, and what is teaching the German language, while other lan- guages are excluded, but discriminating in favor of that nationality? It is infringing the Constitu- tion, and I feel almost certain that if an injurio- tion were served the German would have to stop altogether. What right has a German child to be taught its language when- other children grow up in entire ignorance oi their parents’ national language? It is just equivalent to hav- ing the German child say to the Irish, the French or Bohemian child, ‘My language is better than menfiiy _ calls a public nursery? W hile the State reaches- generations should have a knowledge of it, that_ a yours, for if it wasn't why would theybo teach- in it at the expense otyour father and every other roperty owner. while yours is not taugiw at all If they do not say this they must cer- tainly come to realize it in tlir_ie,juoqas every grown ei-sen does now the injustice of retaining one anguage to the exclusion of all others." ' ‘ ‘Then you have hopes of one day having Irish in the schools?” , ‘ ‘Yes, sir, I think our purpose will be accom- plished when the School Dfrectors come to con- older the matter in its prcD61‘1iifht-" , “But aknewledge of the language will do the children no special good, as it is not lfenerﬂlly spoken?" “I know it is not generally spoken now, and, that lsjust what we would have—to make the, rising generation. and especially the children of‘: Irish parents—know soinethiu about the lan- guage. How many of our Iris -American chil-. dren know anything about the Celtic tongue? Very few. But there are. thank God, some of. them in eurmidst whose fathers and mothers have taughtthem, and who speak it very well, using no other language in conversation with-‘H their parents when at home.” “The Irish lan-2 gauge,” Father Henry remarked. in a casual sort of way, “is the only language which is correctly. spoken by people Without a. knowledge of its grammar.” ‘ ‘Is it very difﬁcult?" “No more so than the-German or the Latin or Greek. I_tfs a £‘lll'.tural language like the Ger- illllillﬁbut is more expressive and more beauti- u . “What other good would be derived from a. knowledge of it save its perpetuation?” “It would afford a -key to the Oriental lan-» guages. Scholars who have studied it find that-. an acquaintance with it makes Hebrew easy to master. I have no doubt that it is a semitic lan- guage, but I am not, of course, a competent judge, and I think investigation would show that‘ it is nearly the same as the language spoken in the Basque Provinces. A great many places in Turkey have Irish names. -Now, Balaklava is al- most tlio same as Balla-Kleagh, which is the Irish for Dublin, signifying the ‘city built in hur- dles.’ Ycni Sagra, in Bulgaria.where the Turks ahd Russians were doing so much ﬁghting. is the Irish for ‘lovable people’; and I feel certain that if ascholar were to visit Bulgaria for the purpose: he would be able to ﬁnd many traces of the Irish language in the names of places and in the tongue spoken by the people. “Why, then, is not the language more general- ly taught?” _ _ /‘ ‘People are only awakening to the importance of an acquaintance with it; and perhaps you are not aware that a chair of Celtic has been estab- lished at~Oxford? The English tried its utmost. to exterminate the language. The Danes came ﬁrst, and did their dire work, and the English followed after. It was not verv long ago when £5 was paid for the head of an Irish schoolmaster, and Bishop England's _own father was thrown into prison for teaching it. If a child was heard to speak a word of Irish in school, he or she was sent home with a badge of dishonor upon them. England then tried to stamp out the Irish as Rus- sia did the Polish language. or as Austria_ at- tempted, in ’49 and ’50, to do with the Bohemian. But, now that the language is dying out, she serve it, -establishes a chair for it in her most prominent college. ” _ “lglas the Irish language an important litera- ture"’ “It has. some of the most i_incie_nt_and valua- ble manuscripts in Europe are in Trinity College, Dublin, as also at Paris, the Vatican and Sala- manca. Its general literature was a ﬁne one. as witness the poems of Ossian (which, by the way, some of my parishioners can recite from memory for hours to other). Archbishop Iiiclclale, too, has translated Homer into Irish hexauietcrsaa powerful and musical as the lines of the blind poet himself." _ I “Do you know,” asked the reverend gentle- man, ‘ ‘that in France an Irishman is greatly hon- ored and a knowledge of the Irish language prized highly? Napoleon sent to Ireland for three of its scholars to decipher some ancient writings, and this was certainl an evidence that he prized their learning. When ‘ield Marshal Nugent.ofAustria, was visited by a grand nephew of his, who had come from Ireland, the Marshal addressed mm in the Irish tongue, and was so angry at the grand nephew’s inability to answer or understand him that he told him he disowned him, and command- ed him to go back to his native country and learn something about its language. Cardinal Mezzo- fanti, along with the many other languages he knew, could ‘speak the tongues of Munster and Conuaught. Dr. Russell, of ‘Maynooth College, once visited him at Rome, and was surprised to hear the Italian ‘Cardinal address him in Irish. His surprise soon changed into mortiﬁcation, and‘ when the Doctor returned to Ireland he began I. study of the language, and afterwards became one of the most eminent of Celtic scholars.” “Do you know,” asked_Father Henry, ‘ ‘that I believe Hannibal spoke Irish?" . _ -‘What Hannibal?” the reporter queried. “Why, Hannibal, the Carthagenian. .He was a Phoenician, and the Irish are descendants of the Pbosnicians.’ ’ ‘ Father Henry then went on to say that there were $130,000 now annually expended on the teaching of German. -and why not add another $100,000 and teach the Irish too? But how about the other languages? He believed they all ought to be" tau ht--Irish, German, Italian, French, Spanish, ‘ urkish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and everything. He would make St. Louis a polyglot city, that would be a Mecca for students all over the world. Thousands of scholars would be drawn into its schools, and the consequent beneﬁcial result. occasioned by increased com- mercial and other importance. would be far in‘ excess of the outlay. If it was intended to make St. Louis the Future Great city of the world nothing would so much tend to do it than to make it a polyglot city and invite to it people from all parts of the world. who would settle here for the sake of having their-children educated. As the reporter was leaving, Father Henry" called his attention to the fact that the present outcry against the German language was not made until the subject of Irish in the public schools was broached, and he believed that the outcry was purposely raised by persons hostile to the Irish language and the Irish race in order to place all the detriment possible in the way of making a knowledge of the Celtic language 30- cessible to the children of Celtic parents. “It is only for want of funds. I know,” said Father Henry, by way of aparting paragraph, “that they object to introducing it just now, but I hope that before long their funds will be in an improved and much better condition.’ ’ ILLINOIS POLITICAL NOTES.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, March 28.--In the town of Brenham excitement still runs high in relation to - the murder of Andreas Fox, a wealthy and highly respected German citizen. The well in which the body was found is an ordinary square one, 88x30 inches , and curbed with plank, and it is ‘- considered impossible that Fox could have fallen therein. The facts, as now ascertained, seem to bear outthe theory that the victim was ﬁrst en- ticed lnto the restaurant near by, therein assas- sinated and his body dumped into the well.

[From the Allegheny Mail , March 27. I About 9 o’elock last evening eight or ten car- riages drove tip in front of the Mayor’soﬁlce, which were entered a few moments later by Chief of Police Wilson, Detective Jerry Smith, Detective G. Miller and about a dozen patrollncn, clad in citizens’ attire. Each member of the party was were going, replied to aweddlng. That important arrests were to be made was evident from the fact that but three of the officers were placed in each «carriage. Chief Wilson and Jerry Smith headed the expedition. It was surmised that they went to the coal regions to arrest a gang of Molly Magulres. It will be rcniembered that a similar expedition was made by the Allegheny detectives some months ago, when they arrested four Mollies, who have since been convicted and sentenced to the Penitentiary for arson. The officers returned at 6 o’clock this morning, after performing a good nlght’s work in capturing four miners, charged with the murder in December, 1874, of John A. Oatman. ‘who was Superintendent of the Du- quesnc coal mines. The names of the prisoners are Thomas Hughes, James Kennedy, Andrew Boney and Michael Rafter. They resided in a small village, about three miles outside of Wil- kinsburg, known as “Muckle Rat,” and were pounced upon about 1 o'clock in the morning while sleeping in their homes. Tile expedition was skillfully arlnliged, and everything passed off like clockwork. The men were taken by surprise, but offered no resistance, as it was useless before so many officers. . They were commanded to make ready for the return trip to Allegheny, and, this bellgdonc, the prisoners were handctlllcd and placed in carriages. A por- tion of their families came down on the early train this -morning and visited the lock-up, but they were not pertni-tied to see the men. Detec- tive Jerry Smith. has been engaged working up this case for the past six inontlls, and says he has the “dead wood” on thescparties. He can also prodticc evidence to show that William Butler, who is now serving out a term of twelve years in thcPenit.entiar_v, for arson in the same neighbor- hood, had a hand in the (murder. He will let the Commonwealth prosecute him, furnishing‘ the necessary evidence, and, at-the proper tilne, Butler will be taken out on a writ of habeas cor- pus for trial. A Sensational Shooting Scrape. Special Irlspatcli to the Globe-Democrat. RICHMOND. VA.. March 31.-—For some days past Mr. A. A. Reinhardt, a prominent German citizen and carriage manufacturer, has been a little suspicious of the attention paid by Mr. James Frlck to his wife, a lady of rare beauty. Fl-lck is a handsome widower and the proprietor of a slice store.

At the breakfast table Reinhardt said he believed he would go ﬁshing instead of going to cllurch. He got his lines and left. Wheti her husband had gone Mrs. Rein- hardt went with Frlck to his (Frlck’sl shoe store, where there was a bed in the back room. Rein- hardt had, in the meantime, secreted himself in the shoe store. He peeped through the door and discovered his wife and Frlck in bed in ﬁagmntc delicto. The guilty pair little dreantod that the enraged lins- band was so near. Reinhardtbroke open the door which separated the store froln the bed-room in the rear, and rtished ttpon the guilty pair.

He then went back to his house and got his shot-gun which was loaded with No. L bird shot, and in a, quiet wav he went in pursuit of Frick, whom he found this afternoon . At sight of Reinhai'd't Frick ran. The infuriated Ilusband followed; Frick rushed into an alley. and Reinhardt let ﬁy at him, sending the whole charlie. in his back. Frick fell; and Reinhardt, tllinklnizlte had killed him, ﬂed from the city. The po_Il_ce are now looking for him. Frick lies in a critical condition. and Mrs". Rein. hllrdtis very seriously hurt.

Smith,one mile south of this city, which caused the death of C. N. Robie, the herdsman, a young man about twenty years old. Mr. Robio was engaged in taking care of Mr. snllth’s herd of short horns. During the after- noon, about 2 o’c'iock, Mr. Butler, the superin- tendent of the farm, went to the barn to look aft- er the cattle, and concluded to take otit some of the bulls and weicli them, which was done. Aft- el'wel_lrlliiig some of them, Robie went into the box stall to get the large bull, Cicero. Without Mr. Smith's knowledge he had retnoved the strap from the bull’s nose, leaving him loose in the tall. When Ruble went in he closed the door after him, and started for the bull, and as he aft- erwards said, "the bull started for him.” fter receiving a terrible gore in the side which penetrated between the ribs and causing his entrails to protude and being knocked down, he cried for help. Mr. Smith, who was present, and Mr. Butler immediately rushed to his relief, but found the door could not be opened. They climbed over the top of the stall,and saw,to their liorror,the young titan down {igilinst the door and the bull over him endeavoring to more him, but the young man was ‘heroically Wbrding oil‘ his thrusts. Mr. Smith jumped into the stall at once and tried to catch the strap which be supposed was in the ring. Fzlillng in this, he kicked him about the head. but not until Butler brought a shovel , the only available weapon at hand, were they able to heat off the enraged animal, when the young man was immediately removed to the house and medical aid sent for.

THE SUN MOVER. Parson Jasper, of VIrginia,Denounces “Those Three Hypocrites.” Many Dcubting Dal-kies Surrender to the Eloquence of the Old White-Haired Fanatic-—An Aristocratio Audience Listens ’ to His Sermon. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. RICHMOND, VA., March 31.—This afternoon Rev. John Jasper, colored, preached for the sec- ond time his sermon to show that the sun moves around the earth and the earth‘ stands still. An immense crowd was present-people, white and b18Ck.‘comi.ng from as far as Manchester to hear. F1111)’ 5.000 people were turned away. Amonll those presentwere the faculty of Richmond Col- legc,’headed by Prof. B. Puryear; many repre- . sentatlvcs of the press, Judge Joseph Christian, of the Supreme Court of Appeals; Col. George Wytlie Munford, ex-Secretary of the Com- monwealth; Col . ‘ J. Relll ey and Dr. John Mahoney, ofllcers of the Catholic Beneficial~Soclety, Cotnmonwealth At- torne_vGco. D. Wise, Hon. Lewis H. Frayscr and 200 or 30OIadies representing the creme data creme of Richmond society. In beauty. culture and ability the audience was one such as few lnlnlsters have ever had here. Richmond's gay and beautiful belles crowded to hear the old white- lleaded negro preacher, and manifested an cli- tht.tslasm and determination to hear him such as has not been evinced since they went in such numbers to hear the great Entrilsh rel-ivalist Ralnsford. The church was packed to sutloctttloii, and for several blocks around the crowd was hustled together, vainly attelnptins: to catch the sound of the sun-mover’s voice. Rev. John Jasper and the other colored ministers have been liavingaw'.-irni discusion during the past week over the sun. Jasper aflirmcd tllnt they were all jealous of his “spiritual _c;lfts." Then Parson Wells, of\ Ebenezer. and his congregation came otit in a strong ‘card, ill wliicli they denounced as , "a base fabrication” the statement made by ll certain preacher, that the sun rolls around the ' earth, and the card further said that they did not intend to bebullied into the belief that the still does move. Yesterday Parson Jasper came out in a card, in which he denounced the preiicliers who wrote the card as ‘ ‘those three hypocrites, ’ ’ and went for them ﬁercely. The colored _ people here now are divided into two parties, the believers in the Jasperlali theory and those who do not. Jasper was urged to preach this sermon in the open air, and , although he was guaranteed a posse of policemen, he "declared that he was afraid that his opponents would rock him. Of course, all this intell- siﬁed the interest in the sermon. The strong force of policemen checked several ﬁghts between the Jasperians and their opponents on the edge of the crowd, but there were some bloody noses and much wool-pulling. Jasper still holds the fort. He says he will preach his sermon a liuildrcd times if i.t is neceosary,to prove to the intelligent white and colored people that the sun moves. When he brought out his strong pointsvthis evening, there were such remarks heard as. “Dat’s so.” “He's got de Bible on dcm,” "Now I know: do sun is movlll,” “Yes,Loi'd,” “Houey,you’stcllln’ the truth,” When the preacher, describing the passage of the chil- dren of Israel over the Red Sea, said, “Don do llnch pin in Pharaoh’s chariot comcd out,” n. sister in the gallery cried. “Dar my Lord.” The sermon brought over many doubting darkles to the Jusperiaii theory. * \V.

To avoid llnposltion, purchasers of Waltham watch- es will observe that every genuine watch, whether gold or silver, bears our trade-mark on both case and movement. V Gold cases are stamped “A. ‘V. at Go.” and guar- antee certiﬁcates accompany them. Silver cases are stamped “Am. Watch Co.. VValtham. Mass., Coin SilVer;"‘ or, “Am. Watch Co... Waltham, Mass.. Sterling Silver." according to quality, and are ac- companied by ‘guarantee certiﬁcates, signed by R. E. Robbins, Treasurer. The name “V‘Valtha.tn” is plainly engraved upon all movements, irrespective of other distinguishing marks. This caution is rendered necessary by iﬁson of the fact that our cases are frequently separated from our movements and put upon worthless movements of otlierinakers, and vice versa, thus affecting injuri- ously the performance of the watches and vitlating our guarantee, which is intended to cover only our complete watches wliolly made by us. It is necessary also because it is so notorious as to be a public scan- dal. that there is great fraud in the metal quality of both gold and silver cases as now generally sold. We have demonstrated by frequent assays that many gold and silver cases offered in the market, are dehased from 10 to 20 per cent from the quality...tliey assume to be. This is at fraud upon the purchaser, and accounts for the low price at which such cased watches have been sold. We take this occasion to announce that we have re- cently entlrely remodeled the very popular grades of full plate movements, known by the inarks, “Wm. Ellery,” " Appleton. Tracy & Co., ” “Waltharn Watch 00.,” “P. S. Bartlett” and ‘*Broadway." giving to them not only a highly improved appear- ance, but great additional value. We embody in them such of the best results of our experience and study for twenty years as can be useful in this popu- lar form of watch. VVe give these new model watches special recommendation to all who look for good per- formance and solid excellence at moderate cost.‘ The alterations have been made with the view of pleasing practical watch-makers. as well as watch -wearers. W's avail ourselves, too, of this occasion to warn the public against CHEAP watches. The superiority of Waltham goods. in all grades, is nowyso generally acknowledged that otir competitors. Swiss and Amer- can, seem to have no resource but to present the at- '1‘lieir goods being inferior to ours, they have to sell them for what they can get. Titties are hard, and people generally not knowing a good watch from a bad one, very often allow a small price to decide them. William Morris, the eminent EIIECIISII lecturer on art and labor topics, in a recent lecture delivered before the “Trades Guild.” says: “I know that the public in general are set on’liav- ins things cheap. being so ixtlorailt that they do not know when they get them nasty. also so ignorant that they neither know nor care wliotiler they give a man his due; I know that the manul‘ac.tttrers. ‘so-called.’ are so set oti carrying otit competition to its titmost. competition of clieapness. not of excellence. thatthev in eet the bargain-liunters half way, and cheerfully furnish them with tlasty wares at the cheap rate they are asked for. by incans of what can be called by no prettier name than fraud. ’ ’ We are much mistaken if this is what the public wants or expects, of us, at least. Good watches can not he made when neither woigklnan nor employer has pride in his occupation; interest and pleasure in the work are both wanting, and both are essential to good watch-making. Low price, especially in watches, MEANS LOW QUALITY. WITH LOW PEBFORMANCII AND HIGH REPAIRS. o Ourmisslon was and our busln ess is to make good watches, whatever the cost; holding firmly to this single purpose, we have seen iinproveinent in quality and reduction in cost, by means of discoveries and lmproveinents in machinery and by nature.) causes, go steadily on together, until we can truly say, Waltham Watches, in their respective grades.are the best‘watches made, and as to the lower grades, they are within reach of everybody who earns wages. Our prices are as low as they ought to be. and as low as they will be. Watches can not be made for nothing. even by machinery. We say to the ..public. buy a good watt-ll wllile you are about it, and pay a proper price for it. The more you pay an honest dealer,tlle better satisﬁed you will be in the and; don‘t be de- ceived by c.lleapness——quality descends faster than price.

Esinrn MATTERS. Doings; of the Past Week and Prolo- pective Transactions. the Sales--House Renting and Coll‘eciions-- Loans--Important Land Cass. List of Building Permits Issued-Baal Estate Transfers Recorded. During the past week there was a vast amount of inquiry, and some very encouraging sales were . made. Thatthere is an improved tone generally in the real estate market is scarcely now queg. tionabie, and it is evidently based on substantial- grounds. With remarkable unanimity it seems to have come into people's heads that now is the accepted time to invost—that- to pass it is to lose money—-and hence there is a lively looking about. There is always a good demand for dw-ellings at low ﬁgures, such as can be bought for $2,000 to $g.,000, in respectable, convenient neighborhoods, near car lines. 4 SAMPLE s.u.Es. Of the recent transactions‘ in the various parts of _the.city and suburbs, the following are noted as indicating the tone of the market: One hundred feet on Fourth street (caromge. , let). with improvements. brought $6,500. Fifty feet on Jackson street sold for $3,000. Thirty-six feet six inches on Twellty‘-t,h.i1'd street. near the Visitation Convent, were pur- chased by J . Evans for $2.500.

The early opening of spring sent the house. hunter abroad fully a month before his time.. La.ndlord.s are moving as fast. as they can to put their houses upon the rent market, but there seems to boa general complaint among liou~se-- seekers that, as a. rule, what is thus other-ed in either of the broken-down sort or altogether the reverse, and too expensive to. maintain, though: the house were a Rift. It is a pooitiva fact. that: in: St. Louis houses between :20 and $80,111 dcr, respectable neighborhood. and conveniently situated to street cars, are very scarce. Below the lesser figures there are a few; above it, quite. a number. Largo houses, calculated: for only-one tenant, will probably prove expensive luxuries on .thc hands of landlords the coming season, and. many a gorgeous mansion may see itself reduced. to the rank of a boarding house. The cause of the scarcity of eligible six or eight-room houses. in-this city is. no doubt, in a measure due to the fact that St. Louis has received a large accession joining consi ering the facts that all the materials that enter into building operations are ‘ ‘dirt cheap,’ ’ that none of them are l~ik-ely to get any cheaper, can be, and ﬁnally that real estate‘ can be bought. at present much below its real value—with a sure -gain of valuations--it is to be wondered at that houses of that character are not built..,,,1,u.m,,. ‘number, for they always command: a good and, permanent rental. ’ The real estate dealer, . as 9. matterof course, draws some very hopeful conclusions from this state of affairs, and argues that if there is a scar- - city of desirable houses, there will become mani- the dema-ud—there will be a. building revival, and all of these things can not happen without exer- estate market. - Rents for desirable office rooms are ﬁrm; in dark and gloomy structures, no matter how well located externally, there will be. a further decided: - downward pitch. The fact of the matter ‘us, that in the line of “oflice building” the market in St. Louis is a good deal overstocked», and it is only such locations, both externally and internally considered, as offer superior inducements that The average ‘ ‘oﬁice building” landlord takes just about what ho can get. Alai-go number of dwellings and stores were rented durinz the past week. At the Real Estate Exchange the week has been a busy one. The conveniences offered by that in- stitution to house-renters are now generally recognized, and most of the parties in search 'of‘ houses make the “Exchange” their point of de- partiire. Collections of rents remain fair, so the agents agencies found the clerks busily engaged in pre paring the receipts for the month. of April. This: in some places is no small task, some of the lead- ing house agents having over 3,000 tenants. LOANS. Business in this line remains quite active. Pay- ments made on loans seem to improve. Renewals are not in more than ordinary request. Parties indebted are desirous of squaring up and saving their property from foreclosure. The rates have not varied for good security; large amounts at 7 to 8 per cent; smaller sum: 8 to 10 per cent. Any amount is readily obtainable at these figures, IMPORTANT DECISION IN A LAND CASE. Friday the ejectment suit of Wm. J. Bryan and others against Ferdinand Kennett and others,‘ was concluded rather suddenly in the United: States Circuit Court. The suit was to obtain pos- session of over 6,000 acres (of mineral and agri- cultural lands) of land in Washington County, Mo.,including Dean's addition to the town of Potosi. the whole estimated to be worth over $100,000. The jury, without leaving their seats, rendered a verdict for the defendant, according to the instructions of the Co.urt. AUCTION SALES ANNOUNCED. No auction sales took place either on the premises or at the Real Estate Exchange during the past week. The following sales are announced to take. place: .\ On Monday‘, April 1, Conn & McRec will sell on the premises, several tracts, varying in size from 12 to 22 acres, being part ofwhat is knuwn as John Duffy’: farm, on the McKnight read, one mile west of the new county seat. . *' ‘ On the sameday Luther H. Conn, special com- missioner,‘ will sell ,by order of the Circuit Court, 10 tracts, varying in size. from 18 to 20 acres, on the McKnight road, one mile west of the new county seat. On the same day Philip S. Laiiham will sell, on the premises, a lot fronting 38 feet 5 inches on Fourth street, immediately in front of the Court House, and belonging to the estate of H. L. Well, deceased. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the 16th and 17th of April, Messrs. Green & La Motte will sell. at the Real Estate Exchange, a large ‘number of business and residence lots, cottage, etc., from. ing on some of the most prominent central streets in N18 011»! and suburbs. This last sale involves over $60.0oo. Material Improvements. The building permits issued last week numbered about 40, and the cost will foot up a little more than $70,000, which is considered good. There are several brick dwellings to be erected at a cost of from $5,000 to $7,000. The building permits are annexed: BRICK BUILDINGS. F. C.

RAILWAY Age: A somewhat critical correspond- ent asks us "why railroad managers are so crazy to build roads" to Missouri river points?

Ditmtorr Free Press: Several months ago Gen- ._- eral Passenger Agent Snow, of the Canada» South- ‘ em, in co_n.vcrsa-t'ion with a reporter of the Free . Press, gave it as his belief that a very large busi- ness could be worked up in Australia and New Zealand for the Auiericaii trauscontine-ntal lines, the route having various advantages over the sea passage to England and Europe. From his reas- .. oning it appeared quite plain that it would be a good stroke of policy to send a. skillful advertis- About the begin- Rock Island and‘ the New York Central com- bined, procured a large quantity of printed mat- ter for circulation abroad and quietly sent a trav- . cling agent to San Francisco to take the steamer ;for Australia. . the Union Pacific, The agent was snowed in on and while thus detained General Passenger Agent Wentworth,. of the Michigan- Central, heard of the projected march on the antipodes; He. consulted with the Chica- . go.

For three days the wires to San Francisco were kept warm, and the printingoﬁiccs in that city busy with unusual orders for railroad work for use in the British when the Michigan Southern agent teaclied San Francisco, chuckling over his contemplated victory, he found three other lively railroad men, with satcliels ready packed, and ready for the same steamer upon which he expected to take passage. The game being up a halt was called, and it is expected now that none of the roads will carry out the plan fur- ther than to ship their printed matter to the colo- nies and keep their traveling agents in San Fran- . cisco to exercise their blandisliments on the ar- riving passengers.

Here is an abstract: The ‘ ‘busting’ ’ of the pool line at St. Louis has beneﬁted Mem- phis somewhat. Boats that used to-give us the go-by now stop with us from one to twto days,and leave here from $100 to 5,300 for wliarfage, -sup plies, etc. All transient boats are allowed to re- main at the landing six hours for their regular wharfage, which is from $5 to $20, according to tonnage; each additional six hours they pay one- half of the rate, until it amounts to the rate of 50 per ton, when they can remain and have all the privileges of the landing for six days, hours they lay at the landing after the six ya have expired. The Kehlor laid at the lan ing- twen-t_v-six hours and paid $46 75 wharfage, and the Mollie Moore, which is now at the landing, pays $30 05. These big bills for wharfaze are not paid without a little grumbling, and the Wharf- master. we think, has no soft job after all, When Mr. George Davis, the deputy, presented the wliarfage bill of the Kehlor to the clerk,h-clocked. at it and said: “I’ll be d—-d if I'll pa that.” He paid‘ it, but not until the Captain 0. lg"d it. We think the Kountz Line of boats will have to charge a little higher rate on their‘ Memphis freight, if they expect to make any money at 7 -cents per barrcl and $40 wharfage ; we can't see where Cant-.. R, P. Glenn, pro- prietor of the wharfbo-at and agent of the Kountz: Line of boats, has carried a broad smile on his face for the past week. Two boats have been here and a large amount of business transacted , of which Capt. Glenn gets 10 per cent. That smile will wear off‘ of Glen-n’s face if Capt. Scuddei-’s Line. or what remains of the pool, . should happen to burst the Kountz Line of boats. The Mollie Moore. of tho Ox Line of boats, is still at 1510 landing, but expects to get away some time to- ay. The Thompson Dean left Memphis for New Or- leans on the 28th, with 6 bales cotton, 1,404 ska . oil cake, 1,410 sks oil meal, 314 brls oil, 100- brls lime, 30 head stock a.nd 20 cabin passengers. This is the last trip of the Dean in the cotton trade, It. is not known at present what she will do after reaching New Orleans. _ Her owners may think proper to _lay her upuntil next fall or put her in the Cincinnati and New Orleans trade. The Dean ~ has been successful during the past season, and by the good management of her ofﬁccrs has made - herself very popular in that trade. ' Pittsburg C’0mmcrctal_Gazette.' Some years ago, when Dr. W. A. Burleigh built the steamer Car- roll herc, he took_ out a capstan license, paying part cash, and giving‘ his note for the balance. The same year he was appointed agent by Capt. McMillan to look after capstan in-frmgers on the Upper Missouri, with headquarters at Yanktcn. ‘ The note has not been paid, and Capt. McMillan- has entered suit against Dr. Burleigli, who will ’ render a bill for services as agent for Capt. Mc- Millan as an offset. The case promises to be an int.erestin'a' one, and will be sharply contested. The Pittsburg Dispatch favors regular boats in the. following item: The new Anchor Line of packets seems to be fairly established in the trade between this city and New Orleans, announcing that a boat will leave every Wednesday and Sat- urday, rain or shine. While no one seems to be in possession of the authority or-disposed to make an official statement in the matter, the selection of the name is presumptive that the two Anchor -Lincs will be for all general purposes as one. . Rumor says that Capt. John A. Scudder will take formal charge as hea_.d of the management this week, but the Captain himself is about as talka- I-176’ when the. subject is in-entioiied as an oyster. That the new couibmation, if rumor is correct in true than that it will have a hard fight on its hands if the Kountz Line IS left out—-it-.. is prob- able. But if the side-wheel line m-alt-as reason- able rates and leaves promptly on time, it has a _ the Kountz Line boa ts--to say nothing of the pi'ocras-tiisating liab- its of the latter. _ THE_KEIILOR’S RECORD. The J. M. White was the fastest boat in her ti-me,'but. the _J. B. M. Kehlor, the new boatof the hountz Line, beats the world for slow time. Here is the record‘ from the date of advertise- ment: Advertised to leave for New Orleans 9n_ the 11th of March and departed March 19th, arrivedat Cairo Saturday 230, at Memphis 20:11, at Vicksburg on the night of the 29th. The Belle of Memphis left hera- March 22. ai'rlve'«i;:ttMcmp'liis, and had started back when the Ixehlor arrived. The Colorado left he._ie on the 230, and arrived at Memphis alongside the Ixehlor, after having left here tour (15118 behind her. The City of Vicksburg left here 'll1€Sda.V. ‘Z6021. and arrived at Vicksburg yester- dﬂ! mormna about six hours after the Kehlor. The James Howard departed forty-eight hours beliind the Iselilor, and arrived at Memphis for- ty-eight hours ahead of her, and if the Howard went along without mishap, she arrived at New Orleans before the Kehlor got to Vicksburg.

Important -Decisions on the Subject by Judges Dillon and Treat, Who Hold That When lntercepted They are Not Legal Evidence. Detectives Have a strong Intimation From the Bench. According to the doctrine laid down in the fol- lowltilr decisions of Judges Dillon and Treat, Sat- urday, in the United States Circuit Court, the tactics of detectives in intercepting letters and in getting possession of crimiuating information, will have to be materially remodeled. It has been the general opinion that "decoy” letters were good .evidence in Court, but it seems that the system is of little or no legal value. Indeed, Judge Treat goes so far as to intimate that the in- terceptiou of a letter containing unmailable mat- ter, which letter is is "decoy” letter bearing a. , fictitious address, is in itself it violation of the postal laws. . It will be remembered that when the Drs.Whlt- tier, Bohannan, Butts cases (sending “illegal information” through the mails) came up before Judge Treat, his Honor expressed grave doubts as to the legality of allowing “decoy” letters to be used as evidence; and that point was reserved until thcprcsent term of the United States Circuit Court, in order that the beneﬁt of Judge Dlllon’s opinion might be obtained. Since the indictment of the above-named doc- tors Mrs. Chapman has been arrested through the agency of the New York Society for the Sup- pression of Vice and Obscene Literature, and all the cases substantially turn on the one point of the legal value of “decoy” letters . Dr_. Whittiel-'s case was selected as a test case, and it has been fully argued by Judge Wagner and Col. Dyer for the defendant, and by Messrs. Bliss and Ellis for the Government. The facts alleged in the indictment were admitted, and the p.ros_ent_ decisions arise out of a motion to quash the indictment, the motion being based on the ground that the decoy letters, instead of having been written by the persons whose names were subscribed. were _written by Robt. W. McAfee, the agent of the New York Society, and were re- ceived by him, instead of by the persons to whom they were addressed, and that the decoy letters were sent and the answers intercepted for the sole purposeof detecting the defendant. JUDGE DILLON’s OPINION. The question submitted has given the Court some difficulty, Certain propositions and prin- ciples will aid in its correct decision. 1. Statutes creating crimes will not be extend- cd by judicial interpretation to cases not plainly and uiimistakably within their terms. If this rule is lost sight of, the Courts may hold an act to be a crime when the Legislature has never so in- tended. _If there is a fair doubt whether the not charged in the indictment is embraced in the criminal prohibition, that doubt is to be resolved in favor of the accused. United States vs. Mor- ris, 14 Pet. , 694; United States vs. Wiltberger, 5 Wheat, 76;Unlted States vs. Sheldon, 2 tvnear, 119; United States vs. Clayton, 2 Dillon, 219. 2_. Congress has no power to make criminal the using of means to prevent conception or to pro- cure abortion, etc., in the several States. That power belongs to the respective States. But Congress has plenary power over the mails and the postal service, and may undoubtedly declare what shall not be mailable matter, and punish violations of its criminal enactments in this re- gard. The_ protection of the public morals in such cases is incidental to the protection of the malls. (U. S. vs_. Bolt, 11 Blatchford. 346.) The statute upon which this indictment is founded must be construed with reference to this limitation upon the Federal function and the supposed Fed- eral purpose ln the enactment of the statute in question. 3. Where persons are suspected of being on- _gaged_in the violation of «criminal laws, or of intending to comnilt-an oﬂense, it is allowable to resort to detective measures to procure evidence of such fact or intention. Many frauds upon the postal, revenue and other laws are of such a se- cret uature that they can be effectually discover- ed in no other way. Accordingly there are many cases of convictions upon evidence procured by means of what are called "decoy lettcrs;” that is, letters re area and mailed on purpose to de- tect theo on or; and it is no objection to the conviction, when the prohibited act has been done, that it was discovered by means of letters specially prepared and mailed by the officers of the Government, and addressed to a person who had no actual existence. The books contain many cases where such convictions have been sustained. (U. S. vs. Cottinghan, 2 Blatchford, 470; Regina vs. Rathbone, 2 Moody Crown cases, 310; S. 0. Carr and Marsh. 220; Regina vs. Gard- ner, 1, Carr and Kerwin, 628; Regina vs. Wil- liams, lb. 195; Regina vs. Mence, 1, Carr and Marsh, 234.) There is a class of cases in respect of larceny and robbery in which it is held that where one person procures or originally induces the com- mission of the act by another, the person who- does the act can not be convicted of these par- ticular crimes, although be supposed he was taking the property without the consent or against the will of the owner. [Archbold Crim. Pr. and Ev. , 364; Rex vs._Eggingion, 2 Bos. and P. , 508; State vs. Covington, 2 Bailey (South Carolina), 569; Dodge vs. Brittain, Ml.-lgs (’1‘cnn.), S4, 86; Alexander vs. State, 12 Texas, -540; 3 Ciiitty Cr. Law, 925; 2 East P. C., 665; 1 151511 Cr. Law, 5111 ed., secs. 262, 263.] The reason is obvioia viz: The taking in ‘such cases is not against the will of the owner, which is the very essence of the of- fense, and hence no offense in the eye of the law has been committed. The offender may be as morally guilty as if the owner had not consented, but a necessary ingredient of legal guilt ls want- ing. This is strikingly shown by Rex vs. McDan- iel et al., Foster, 121, S. C.; 2 East. P. C., 665, where Salmon hlc-Daniel and others conspired to procure two persons, ignorant of the design, to rob Salmon on the iilghivay, in order tniit they might obtain the reward at that time given for prosecuting offenders for highway robbery. Salmon accordingly went to a particular place fixed upon with some money, and the two men who were procured being led there by one’of the conspirators, robbed him; and they were after- wards prosecuted and convicted; but the coli- splracv being afterwards detected, the conspir- ators were indicted as accessories before the fact to the robbery; and the facts being found by a special verdict the case was argued before all of the Judges, who held that the taking of Snl.non’s . money was not is larceny, being done not only with his consent, but by his procurement. .But this principle must be limited to the cases where the consent will, as a matter of law, neutralize the otherwise criminal quality of the act. (1 Blsh. Cr. Law, 5 ed. , sec.262) . Thus,where a prosecu- tion wus founded on set of the Legisla- ture imposing a penaltyon any one who should deal or traflic with a slave, without a written ticket or permit from the owner, it was held that the offense is consummated, although the trading was done in pursuance of the instructions of the owner, and in his presence, when the accused was ignorant of such instructions and presence. The reason is. that “like Egdingtoiﬂs case, su- pra, this is a contrlvancc to detect the offender.” State vs. Covington, 2 Bailey (South Car), 569, 573. See also Regina vs. Williams, 1 Carr and A. 195. Regina vs. Garclner, lb. 628. The facts in the case now under consideration ' show that defendant is as morally guilty as if the letter he was answering had been written by a real person. But I am of opinion that these facts do not clearly bring the case within the clause of the statute on which the indictment is founded. The indictment charges that the defendant know- ingly deposited in the mail a letter giving infor- mation where, how, and of whom an article or thing designated and intended to revent con- ception , could be procured. This w s an answer to a fictitious letter of inquiry. The letter written and mailed by defendant was addressed to a person who had no existence. On its face it did not show that it was within the prohibition of the statute. if it had been suffered to go through the mall to the place to which it was addressed, it would not have been called for, but have been sent to the dead letter office, and could not haye given to any person the prohibited information. The defendant doubtless intended to give the in- hibited information, but the statute does not ap- ply to a letter merely intended by- the writer to give such information, but to a letter actually ‘ ‘giving the information.” He wrote no letter giving information, for the reason that there was no person in existence to whom the prohibited information in the letter could come. If the let- ter of inquiry seeking the prohibited information had been written by an actual person, although under a feigned name. an answer in reply giving sucll information would present a case distin- guishable,it would seem-,from the one under con- slderation. 1 place my judgment in this case upon the sin- gle ground that the sealed letter written by the defendant, addressed to a person who had no ex- istence, and which on its face gives no informa- tion of its prohibited character, and which is brought within the statute only by the fictitious letter of inquiry, is not the ‘ ‘giving of informa- tion” within the meaning of the statute. At all events it is not certain that Congress intended to punish such an act. and therefore, upon the prin- ciple above mentioned, that criminal statutes are not to be extended by judicial construction to cases not clearly and unmistakably within their terms, my judgment is that this prosecution, on the admitted facts,-can not be sustained. It is a case of clear moral guilt, but not of legal crimi- nality. There is no legal crime committed, al- though the defendant did not know of the fact whlcli deprived his act of the criminal quality. (1 Bish., Cr. Law, 5th ed., sec. 262). In this re- spect the case falls within the principle strikingly illustrated by Rex vs. McDaniel et al., above re’-' ferred to. JUDGE TREATS OPINION was delivered separately, and is as follows: The questions involved in these cases are ex- tremelv dlfiicult of solution. It is necessary to discriminate with carc,on the one hand, between the offense charged against the postal laws and the modes of proving the same. and,on the other hand. the offense stricken at by State statutes and the moral wrong and outrages implied in the vocation or business denounced. The sense -of indiznatlon uzainst such vocations or ','conduct should not permit a violation by the Courts of ca- tab_lisl_iod rules of law, or an unlawful exercise of jul'lld_lctl~0_D , nor the countenance of unlawful 4 contrivances to induce or manufacture crime. . The postal system is designed by statute, for 5i. Ennis Eilllgﬂllglfiltlt-@tII'tlIl.'l’Hl,ﬂlﬂ1'tIIi€ty ﬁliituing. Emil 1, 1378. M! of private correspondence.

It then proceeds as follows: "And any person Who" shall knowlngl doposit,or cause to be deposited, for mailing or elivcry” any such ‘non-mailablo mlltﬁr. “and any person who shall knowingly take the same, or cause the same to be taken from the mails, for the purpose of circulating or disposing of, oraiding in the circulation or is- §‘o:ition of the same, shall be deemed Entity.” Thus, the section provides for two classes of offenders. viz: Those who deposit. knowingly, for mailing or delivery such non-mailable matter; and also those who knowingly take the same from the mails for the purpose stated. The various acts of Congress in part mater-ta must be considered in connection with consti- tutional limitations. It is for preserving the Purl‘! and privacy of the postal service that Con- gresshas passed the many laws to which refer- ence l_s made; yet if non-mailable matter is not to be delivered, now are the contents of a sealed letter to be ascertained? It must be conceded- that contrivances to induce crime ( the contriver confederating for the purpose with the criminal) are most rigidly scrutinized by the courts. even when the contrlvances are lawful in themselves. But when the contrivances are of an unlawful character should courts not be even more strict? ‘Again, the statute denounces the depositof for- hidden matter in the mail, which. “gives” (not which is intended or designed to give) ‘ ‘informa- tion, directly or indirectly, etc." In this case _the_letter deposited did not of itself give any such inhibited information; it was not addressed to any person in existence; and if in the ordinary course of the malls it had reached its destination it would have been delivered to no one, for there was no one to whom to deliver it. but it would have passed to the Dead Letter Oﬂice. To make the letter bear an interpretation against the pro- hibitions of the statute, it is necessary to exam- ine the same in connection with the fictitious -or decoy letter, bearing simulated post-marks; and also to say that the letter addressed to the ﬁcti- tions person could, despite section 3,892, be law- fully taken from the mail, after it was deposited 3591313. and before it had been delivered to the person to whom addressed, "with the design of prying into the business or secrets of another.’ ’ No casc_, after most diligent search, has been found which disposes exactly of the point under consideration. In my judgment, it must be set- tled in the light of elementary principles. No Court should. even to aid in detecting a supposed oﬂcnder, lend its countenance to a violation of positive law, or to contrivances for inducing a person to commit a crime. Although a violation of law by one person in order to detect an (intend- or will not excuse the latter, or be available to him as defense. yet resort to unlawful means is not to be encouraged. When the guilty intent to commit has been formed, any or-. -3 may furnish °lIP0l'%l1nlt1_es, or oven lawfully lend assistance to the criminal, with the commendable purpose Of exposing and punishing him . But no case has been found which goes beyond these views. lhere are legitimate means and jurisdictions wliere oﬂcnses can be tried and punished; and public weal is best subserved where rigid adher- ence is enforced. suitiriclfor solve. A Lecture on Temperance by Roy. W. G. Eliot. What William Cullen‘ Bryant Says of Drunkards. A beautiful service of song at the Church of the Messiah last evening was attended by an un- usually large congregation, which was also much igterested in a brief temperance address by Rev. -Dr. Eliot. ' Dr. Eliot said he was no novice in the way o lending his sympathy and support to crusades against the liquor traffic. It had been his pleasure to take active part in three great movements of the kind. The first was organized ﬁfty years ago, or about that time, he being. then in Washington, where it was spoken of as a -new Yankee notion that had originated in New En- gland—men signing _ a pledge to refrain from the use of intoxicating beverages. Gradually, however, men of every station in life did what they could to further the cause, and the good results were apparent then as now. It had been said that drunkords could not reform, but Dr. Eliot knew this to be a- wrong idea, for he had grasped scores of them by the hand and wel - coined them as friends, some even as kindred. The gentleman said the conclusive argument of temperance reformers were the presenting of plain facts-—uothing else was needed. Could the people of this city see all the crime and wretch- edness caused by strong drink, their indignation against those who were to blame could not be re- strained. The free use of intoxicating bever- ages _lilled the jails. asylums, peni- teniiarles and the grave. What other induce- ment does a person want to make them lend their old to prohibit the use of strong drink. Thus far the movement had been directed against the masses, as it should be, for it can do good in every grade of society. In St. Louis the head of the most efliclent Eire Departlnent in the world had taken very active part in the crusade, so had the head of our Police Department. The clergy were joining in, but rather slowly. Indeed the clergy were rather timid in some respects. They did not like to throw themselves in a current un- til its course had been fully fixed. In this case, as in every other, reform had begun outside of the Church. At last, though, all were identiﬁed with the movement. and it was expected that much more good would be accomplished. The rever_end gentleman closed the llddrcss with a devout prayer, after giving‘ the following from a temperance speech delivered a few days ago by William Cullen Bryant: - "T to power of example is incalculable. A man who is liceniious makes many liceiiilous; he who is dishonest produces dishonesty in others . Inﬂuential men of convivial habits who have not yet become drunkards are the ones to be feared. Those men who can drink freely and never ap- pear to feel the eﬁects are the lncn who are very dangerous. But they must ultimately pass be- ycud this stage, The man who makes hlniself an habitual drinker signs his own delith-warrant. Let us all, my friends, shun this evil." 4 EASTLAKE French Dresser suites, $40, at Scar- rltt Furniture Co. 's. AMUSl~..;IEZV"1“S. DE BAR'S OPERA HOUSE.

I TEMPEBANCE. x The Movement Still’ Progress- ing. Meeting at the Rink-Address of Maj. Mﬁfwlno There was another vast outpouring of the people at the Rink last night for the oauseof temperance. . ' Rev. Joseph Franklin, of Chicago, Illinois, opened the meeting with prayer. After a very pretty selection by the choir, Maj. Merwin was introduced, taking as his subject "How to Meet the Issue.” The Major said this temperance movement was started first as a purely religious movement. This phase of the movement must not be ignored when we think of the 600,000 men who go annually to a drunkard’s grave and the wives and families that they carry down with them. The Washingtonian movement did a great work at first, 600,000 men-—dl'unkards—joi'ned the movement,but sad to relate, 400,000 of these went back to their cups. Then there were other agita- tions.and ﬁnally the war broke out and there was a_ lull in the temperance question. From that time on until the present day it would be im- possible to say exactly what had been done, but now $2,000,000 are spent every day for liquor. The American heart is full of sympathy, and meetings like this one inaugurated here by friend Wright are being held everywhere and 2.000,000 have signed the pledge. The speaker said that he had nothing against the liquor dealer, because he was in a different business, but could not help feeling glad that the notes of some of these big liquor dealels were going to protest. '1hey were not doing half their usual trade. [Ap- plausc.] This movement was doing worlds of good, but it must not stop here. The Major re- lated a number of peculiarly touching stories re- tzarding the sprrowful effects of drink. In the course of one of these intensely interesting re- citals, telling of the utter downfall of a German theological professor, he told of his being turned in winter from a gilded saloon, and said the great religious daily says there are 4.000 saloons in St. Louis, and not one of the bar-tenders likes to have it dl‘_llDka1‘(l in his saloon. The point made by the speaker was that moral snasion could effect nothing permanently. What 18 needed is ii legal stoppage of the liquor traﬂic. As long as there was no interference the liquor- sellers laughed at this movement. Their traffic must be stopped by law if we want to save every one of these signers. Gratz Brown had said to the speaker: “I helped to make Missouri a free State, and I'll help to make her a sober State." [Applause] ' The speaker said, further: We have tried mor- sl sulislon, we have tried the license system, but they can not retain these two millions of signers {$111088 we rise and throttle the liquor trade by aw. After a strong appeal to every man to vote for no man that will legalize the liquor traﬂic, the speaker said there was $1,000 needed to pay ex- penses, and the raising of this amount would de- cide whether these Rink meetings would be kept up or not. A collection was then taken, but it was apparent hardly $1,000 had been raised. Caseyvi1le’s Converts. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. CAsi:rvILLii, ILL.. March 30.—Mr. E. B.

The Mephistopheles of Wall Street Euchered. He and Huntingdon Balked by the Senate. TheSinking-Fund em Passes by a Large Majority. Six Millions Lost to the Swin- dlers in Stocks. The Success of the Measure in the House Assured. What the Resumption Repeal Advocates Are Anxious For. The Railway Mail Transpﬁrtation Re- port-Capital Chatter. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. WASHINGTON, D. C. , April 9.—-The determina- tion of Thurman and Edmunds to insist upon the sinking fund bill before adjournment to-day, concentrated all the efforts of the eppositiomand forced them to show their hands by apologizing for the votes they proposed to give in support of the Blaine amendment to the judiciary bill. , GOULD AND HUNTINGDON ‘ were conﬁdent to the lastthat they would be able to pass either the Blaine or some other amend- ment to neutralize the effect of the bill, Thur- man had from the first felt assured that he could carry his measure. When the vote on the Blaine amendment was announced showing its defeat by a decisive majority there was a general col- lapse. of the opposition and all antagonistic amendments were withdrawn, as further contest. was useless. Aside from the justice of the meas- ure, the notorious manner by which inﬁuences were brought to bear through the agents of these great corporations undoubtedly PREJUDICED THEIR CASE. It was a subject of common remark that many Senators were suddenly much interested in the quotations of this stock, and it is said that Gould had a large number of puts out; which will, it is feared now,shovv abalance out be wrong side.Had they been successful in the passage of the Blaine amendment, it is claimed that Gould would have realized $6,000,000 on his own stock, and those holding puts would have made at least $3,000 on every 100 shares placed to their credit by Gould, as be announced his determination to PUT THE srrocx AT PAR the moment the bill became a law. Pending the discussion from the beginning this Mephis- toplieles of Wall street occupied a secluded cor- ner in the Senate gallery, from whence he occa- sionally descended to the marble room toconfer with his lieutenants and to see that his forces were properly handled. In conversation to-night both Gould and Hunt- ingdon claim that such legislation is virtual con- ﬁscation, but declare that they will contest the measure step by step in the COIll't!'_I The fact that. the House Committee on Paciﬁc Railroads, with but two dissenting votes, directed the Senate bill to be i;epori.ed,assures its passage by an over- whelming majority. THE QUESTION OF RESUMPTION. The Senate Committee on Finance to-day were notiﬁed by the resumption repeal advocates that they wished decisive action at the earliest mo- ment. and if no report from the committee were soon made the would move to discharge tliecom- names from th further consideration of the sub- jectand take it up in the Senate. This intel- ligence occasioned much surprise, and it was determined to take it vote in committee on Friday next. Senators Ferry and Allison have withdrawn from their late alliliatlons, and have determined to give Secretary Sherman an oppor- tunity to test the feasibiliiy of his measures for resumptioii at the date ﬁxed. w0oD’s SPEECH. The speech of Wood on the tariﬁ‘ bill has not come up to expectations. His claim that the bill will realize about $140,000,000 is combined by the customs omoials in the Treasury, who say that the revenues from that source could not ex- ceed $120,000,000. There is a‘ disposi- tion to permit the members of Jthe coin- mittco to speak on the measure, Gen. Banks following. The anti-tariff element are con- ﬁdcnt of their ability to table the bill as soon as they can get the floor. Whilst Wood claims the solid New York delegation, two it is known will vote against It. Should the anti-tiirill men fail. to table, the discussion will last for weeks. some parties favor postponing the discussion un- til after the appropriation shall have been dis- posed of. Mr. Wood says he will antagoniae everything, in hopes of bringing his measure to a proiiipt termiiiation. WESTERN ARRIVAL. W. J. suiizg, of Topeka, Kansas. f Railway Mail Transportation. WASllINGTON.D. C.,Api-il 9.—Tne report oftlie Special Commission on Railway Mail ,Traiispor- tation was presented to both Houses of Congress to-day. It is signed by Daniel M. Fox and George A. Basset, the Postal Commission, who recom- mend space and speed instead of weight as a basis for compensation; authorizing the privi- leges contended for by the Post Oﬁice Depart- ment,giving to the public better mail facilities The expenditures under tliei-ates recommended vvillnot be materially increased over those of the present year. The tabulated -returns show variations of from 233 to 104 mills in the operating expenses per lineal foot of trains, while the receipts range from 364 to 1,096 mills—sbowing that the profit on some roads where rates are low is larger than on other roads where the rates are high, and thei-cfore the adop- tion of an average rate, applicable by all lines, that would give to each route A uniform percent- age of profit, was impracticable. The Commis- sion say they are convinced that the postal our system has now become a necessity in conduct- ing the business of the country and that the pub- lic at large would demand its coniihuaiice. even if the expenses of the Government were larp:ely increased thereby.

THE ARMY DEFICIENCY. The House deﬁciency appropriation for the sub- sistence of the army is increased by 5300.000. An increase of $11,000 is proposed for work on the capitol grounds, and an addition of $10,000 is made to the House item for pi-intihg for the Patent Olﬁce. The additions Droposed by the Senate Committee aggregate about $480,000. THE COOL!!! TRADE. Secretary Thompson to-day issued his order, the substance of which has heretofore been pub- lished, to the commanders of all United States men-of-war in the South Paciﬁc waters concern- ing the Coolie trade. . THE CABINET IIEETING to-day was not important. ° IDENTICAL WITH THURHAN ’s BILL. The House Committee on Pacific Railroads to- day directed Representative Chalmers to report to the House with favorable recommendation the Paciﬁc Railroad funding bill, identical in its pro- visions with Tburmaii’s bill now pending before the Senate. THE EFFECTS OF THE SINKING FUND BILL. The 'I_‘liurman Paciﬁc Railroad funding bill passed by the Senate to-night makes the Union Paciﬁc and Central Paciﬁc Railroad Companies pay into the United States Treasury, in addition to the whole of the Govern- ment’: 6£l.l‘Ill[1,‘.’.‘S, not to exceed for the former company $150,000, and for the latter $300.- 000 per year. The Government has heretofore rc- tained all of the Government's earniui.-:s,:ilthoug°h one-half of them has been due to the companies. The objection made to the bill was not as to the amount to be paid into the sinking fund, but to other sections of the bill, including ‘the declaration of a right to amend, alter or repeal the bill should it become a law. Senator '.l‘liui-man, in his re- marks to-day, explained these sections in a man- her which deprived them to some extent of their objectionable features. The amount due the com- panies hereafter from the Government for transportation and other services, which has heretofore been held in the United States Treasury without beneﬁt or interest to the companies, will, immediately on the bill becoming alaw, boar compound Interest as apart oftiie sinking fund, and be placed to the credit of the two companies.

Moi-rill re- ported from the Finance Committee a bill to re- pair and put in operation a mint at New Orleans. Placed on the calendar. ' Mr. Merrill said it was the opinion of the com- mittee that this would afford all additional mint facilities. Mr. Ferry introduced a bill to regulate compen- sation to railroads for ti-ansporlation of the mails. Referred. '1‘he Senate passed a bill to provide a code of army regulations. The bill for the relief of Mr. W. C. Snyder, of Illinois, was passed. ” its consideration the Senate adjourned. The bill to provide for a public building at Kan- sas City, Mo. , passed. On moiion of Mr. Teller, the bill to authorize the construct-ion of a narrow-gauge railroad from Bismarck to the Black Hills was taken up and coigi_idei'ed. A large number of ameudments,in- eluding cutting-off branches and striking out the word "narrow gauge” were agreed to. Pending ﬁn_:il action the morning hour expired and the bill went over. At the expiration of the morning hour, un- ﬁnished business, the Paciﬁc Railroad funding ' bill, was considered and Senator Edmunds ad- vocated the bill of the Judiciary Committee. The general deﬁciency bill was reported. Placed on the calendar. _ Mr. Edmunds dissented entirely with Mr. Matthews and M1‘. Hill as to the unconstitution- u_1il.V Of’!-he proposed legislation. if the corpora- |.lOn8_$IlOl1ld succeed in breaking down legislation at this time,it might be that the time would come when the voice of the oople would be heard anﬁ aﬁairs be_ placed in t a hands of impartial men. flbe provision for the payment of oblitatioiis of corporations was purely an aiiministrutive act, and required different application from time to time as ciicumstanccs changed, as new roads were built, as new men came in the directory, as stock was run up or down by hulls or bears, yet it was proposed to tie the hands of this sovereign administrative power behind its back for tiveuty-two years. nearly an entire generation. He did not think the gentleman from Maine would, upon reflection, think this was an entirely safe mode of procedure. He said it might happen that stock should pass into the hands of foreign holders who might bedevll the roads and bring about a state of things where there would be no net. earnings. Interest of first uioi-tgage bonds would not be paid, and all would to down in value. Yet the Senator from Maine, in the innocence of his nature, supposing‘ every- body was as honest as himself, would told his hands, and allow himself to be put in a bag and DI&g8d in the custody of the Union Paciﬁc Rail- roa . Mr. Blaine (interrupting) said the Senator had referred to Jay Gould. Mr. Edinunds said he had not referred to Jay Gould or any other individual. Mr. Blaine. insisted that in a reference to a stockholder who held a large quantit of stock, he was painted blacker than he really . as. Mr. Edniunds said there were many men who were not so black as they were painted . There were Senators who were not as black as they had been painted in connection with stocks. He had not indulged in any personal references, and rarely referred to individ«ur.ls by name. Mr. Blaine proposed to amend his amendment so as to remove every objection to it raised by the Senator from Vei'iiiont., by adding a proviso that the annual amount to be paid in addition to net earnings and one-half transportation shall never be less than $600,000, and noth- ing herein contained shall be con- strued so as to waive any existing claim of the Govei‘nnient againt the road. ' Mi-. Voorliees advocated the aineiidmentpro- posed by Mr. Blaine, and in his remarks asked Mr. Thurman if he did noteoiisider that the pres- lent bill made the Governmeiit secure against oss. Mr. Thurman replied that he did not. Mr. Voorliees asked why then did he not perfect such a bill as would do so. ' Mr. Tiiiirman said because he could not get such a bill through this Senate. Mr. Voorliees went on to declare that be bad in recenstructioii and other acts of Congress seen repeated disregard of Constitutional obligations, and contended that the present bill went beyond Constitutional limitation as to right of contract. He hoped the amendment of the Senator from Maine would be adopted. The scenes of the past four weeks about this Capitol should not be re- peated if it could be avoided. If the bill was not acceptable with it then let the Judiciary Coni- mittee do its work over again and prepare a bill that would be an acceptable ﬁnality. After further debate Mr. Windom, from the Committee on Conference of the bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to employ tempora- ry clerks, reported disagreement, and Messrs. Wiiidorn, Dorsey and Beck were appointed mem- bers of a new Conference Committee. The Chair also appointed Messrs. Wihdom, Al- lison and Eaton as members of the Conference Comniiltec. on the consular and diplomatic appro- priation bill. The Chair laid before the Senate a number of House bills, including that to place the name of Gen. Shields on the retired list of the army. Mr. Gordon moved present action on this bill. Mr. Edmiincls objected. He would not single out a single individual to help the House out of PRICE FIVE CENTS stand for twsntylong years, and it proposed to go farther, and surrender the power to alter, amend or repeal. For many years roads had souirht this surrender, but this was the first time such a proposition had been made by a Senator on this ﬂoor, or a Representative in the House of Representatives. If the roads could obtain this surrender they would give much more than the sum named in the amendment. The reservation was put in the bill to retain for the Government the control over contracts with these corpora- tions. Sooner than see it abandoned he would see the bill sunk to the depths of the sea. The amendment of Ml‘. Blane was then voted upon and lost, yoas 23, hays 35.

Do1'.se_v, On motion of Mr. <McCi'eerv, the Senate took_up the bill repealing the bankrupt act, and pending House. Mr. Wright offered a concurrent resolution proposing to issue $400,000,000 United States notes, to be known as national money. It recites at length the present business distress through- ouitlie country, and directs the issue of $400,- 000,000 United States notes ,to be legal tenders for all debts, public and private, and to be placed in circulation at the earliest possible moment. Re- ferred. Mr. Wright asked to have the resolution print- ed in the Record, but was objected to by Mr. Townsend, who said t e workingmen could not afford to pay for priming the stump speech of the gentleman. Mr. Buckner, Chairman of the Committee on Bankiiig and Currency, reported a bill providing for the issue of $322,790,810 of treasury notes for the redemption of thenatioiial bank notes, wliicli are to be received in payment of one-third of customs duties. Referred to the Committee of the Whole. Mi-. Durham, from the Conference Committee on the bill for the employment of tempo_rai'v clerks in the ’I‘i'ensury, reported the committee had not been able to agree, the ‘only point of agreement being on the item ‘inserted by the Senate, appropriating $20,000 tor postal clerks. Mr. Blount, one of the cohferscs. defended the action of the House conterees. and argued that the deﬁciency in the Post Office Department. grew out of the postal car system, which was one of the hobbies of the Post Oﬁice Department, and that the House should not interfere in that mat- ter, but stand by the Committee on Appropria- tions. After some discussion, the report was agreed to, and a new conference committee ordered. Ou motion of Mr. Ewing, the report of the ‘con- ference between the Committee on Banking and Cui-i-eiicy and the Secretary of the Treasury was ordered printed. Mr. Wood moved that the House 30 into Con- miitce of the Whole for the consideration of the term‘ bill, and asked unanimous consent thata timebtif fixed for terminating general debate upon the i . Mr. Kelley objected to limited debate upon one of the most intricate and vitally important bills brought to the attention of the House. Mr. O'Neill suggested that there should be night sessions of the House held every evening of the week. for the purpose of allowing members who might desire to make speeches on the bill to do so, and not take up the valuable time of the House. Mr. Wood withdrew his request for limiting the time for debate. The House then went into a Committee of the Whole, Mr. Sayler in the Chair, upon the tariff bill. As soon as the House was in Committee of the Whole, Mr. Conger raised the point of order that bills on the calendar must be considered in order. The Chair overruled the point of order on the ground that the House had voted to go into Com- mittee on the tariff’ bill specially. Mr. Wood, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, then made ii long speech in ex- planation and advocacy of the bill. In the course of Wood's speech he sentio the Clerk's dcsk,aiid had read, aleuer from a manufacturer of hay forks at Jackson, Mich.. Mating that that indus- try required no protection, and that it was able to compete with foreign manufacturers , not only in the home market but in foreign markets. Mr. Conger asserted that the work of the ﬁrm was done by convicts, who were paid at the rate of 32 cents a day. Mr. Wood, however, declined to yield to Mr. Conger fora further statoinent on that point. Then, said Mr. Conger, I call time on the gen- tleman , who is only speaking by courtesy of the House. The Chairman informed Mr. Conger that Mr. Wood's time having been extended by unani- mous consent, he was entitled to a second hour. Mr. Wood then proceeded with and concluded his speech, warning opponents of the measure that if they should succeed in defeating it the time was hear at hand when the people would not be satisﬁed with so mild a measure. ' Mr. Banks obtained the floor to speak in oppo- sition to the bill, but yielded to Ii motion that the committee arise. The committee therefore rose. Mr. Glover asked unanimous consent to offer a resolution to provide fortiie payment of a Clerk and experts of his committee from the time of their appointment to the time of their being sworn into omce, a delay having occurred through iiiadvertence, but Mr. White objected.

DROWNED arhivialeaiza FALLS. Details of the Accident by which Two Young Men Lost Thzciir Lives. I From the Niagara Falls Gazotto.] _ Two brothers, John and Patrick Reilley, ‘residing at Chippewa, Ontario, visited this place Monday, crossing the river in ordinary rowboats, one brother arriving some time later in the day than the other. After the business will-ch they came over to transact - had been dispatched, the two men started to return about 6:30 o’clock in the evening. One of the two boats having been taken back to Chippewa, the two brothers started to ; cross_ the stream together in the re- maining craft. It; is known that both‘ the fatc_d men partook more or less liberally Vol intoxieatin _ drink while in the village, E and in t is not lies the only - _ex.pla.nation, of their suicidal folly in choos- - ing the route they did when they left Port Day for their Canadian home. For, instead of rowing up_tlle river the usual d‘lstaiiee be- ; fore attempting to cross, the men pulled cilreetly for Cllippawa village. - parties who were ht Port Day when the two i men started out noted the dangerous route E they had taken, but as both the Reillev broth- ~ ers were known to be well acquainted with , tlieriver, they rraturally supposed that when they found they could not cross so low down the streaui they would pull up and cross in one of the usual tracks. In apparently utter .igliol'aiiee of the rapiclity with which the - trczielierous current bore the boat down the stream, the two brothers ‘pulled stea-dilly on their way. As the boat swept lower and low- er the attention of otbsers on the bank of the river became attracted to the impending 1 r B shore, had apparently gotten well over into the strong Canadian current, it had drifted far down the river, and at last, when too late’, the brothers appeared to realize their position. The boat. was headed up the Stream. and the men bent to their cars with desperate energy. Finding that they were powerless to stem the current, and having drifted into close proximity to the ﬁrst_of the terrible reefs at the head of the Canadian“ rapids, the two men were seen to_dehberatcly turn their boat around and with steady strokes pull their craft safely over two 01 the reefs. The watchers on. this side of the riverthen lost side of both men and boat. but others on Street’: Island and in the Loretto Convent, on the Canadian shore, say that the boat safely jumped the third reef, when boat_ and men disappeared in the boiliiig rapids, and were never seen again. The supposition is that when the men de- termined to attempt shooting the reefs they had a faint hope that they might reach shore by_ taking advantage of the comparatively quiet water below the reefs-—a desperate struggle for life, which proved to be futile. Pieces of the boat were found the next day in the river below the falls, but as yet nothing has been seen. of the bodies of the unfortu- nate men.-. Patrick. Reilley was about forty-ﬁve years of age, and was unmarried. John was about forty years old, and leaves awi'fe,but no chil- dren. Amother and two sisters mourn a double loss. The Pol-lean Privateer. r From the San Francisco Chi-onicle.l _Th.e Costa Bican man-of-war Yrazu, the cl-devant northwest coast steamer Pelican, the original blockade-runner Memphis, on Sund_:_iy drew out from Beale street who-rf,and nowlies in the stream, ready to cast oﬁ’ her moorlugs and sail may to Punta Arenas for such mysteri'ous- use as the Costa Rican Gov- ernment may make of her. J. M. Tinoco, Consul for Costa Rica, having ilssued‘ to the vessel the license necessary for the hoisfi-ng' of the Costa Rierm ﬂag, that flag was duly run. up on Saturday last, on the occasion of the inspection of the vessel by Mr. Ti.-noco. On the same day, the Consul applied to Collector of the Port Shannon for the necessary clear- ance papers, butwas infornied by the latter that in obedience to instructions received from Washington on March 28, the vessel could not be cleared until further advices. United States District Attorney Coghlau and Collector of the Port Shannon then united in a dlﬂlzttch to the-~Departiiicnt at Washington stating that the granting of THnCi3.l:.utANe'E PAPERS and the permitted sailing of the Yraza would not seem to be in violation of any neutrality or international‘ laws, as the Consuls of both Costa Rica and Guatemala united-. in the asser- tion that no war ispcnding between. the Gov- ernnien-ts they represent, not between Costa Rica and airy other Government whatever. Mr. 'l‘iuoco« also telegraphed to the Costa Riean Minister at Washington. No answer had been received yesterday afternoon to either telegram, and Colby, the courteous G()llﬂllﬁ&del' oftho new gunboat, and the only one of her officers or crew who appears to be neither a boor nor a ruﬂiau, was an-xiously oscillatiuo‘ between the offices of the Collector, the District Attorney and his counsel. his soul in arms and eager for the clearance papers that were still withheld. Early on-. Sunday morn-i-ng a man na-med-.Shorte11. here- tofore one of Crocker’s besuieﬁciaries as a ‘ ‘nu-vvy’ ’ at the Potrei-0- cut for a day, having recklessly come to the conclusion that he niight do even better in a more southern latitude, where legend says the only costume required is a light coat of blue. paint, got aboard the Yrazis and stowed himself away. He was found theiiaext morning by one “Col- onel” J. A. Middleton, pros‘-eevsingto be a kind of Superintendent of Coustructioii for the Costa Ricsn Government‘. Sliortell says that this fellow and two others, whom he. be- lieved to be the first and. second oﬁicers, found him, and putting A norm AROUND ms NECK, hauled him from his place of concealment. The intrepid Middleton bellow-ed for his re- volver till the water front echoed in order that he might shoot the ’s head off. No revolver being brought him-, and the thirty--pound Parrotts beingfor some reason unavailable, Shortell’s captors then “triced him up”-—thst is, they ironed his hands be- hind his back, made a line fast to the hand- cuffs. run the line through a ring-bolt in the deck above, pulled his arms and body up un- til the victismlbnselyi rested on his toes and left liimia that condition for four hours and-a. half, and vvotrld have Left. him there until the cruel death which was rapidly approaching hukrolieved him, but for the tiniel coming, aboard of Capt. Colby, who orders him out down and sent ashore. Yesterday the man applied to an attorney for redress, who sent him to Police Court Prosecuting Attorney Flood, but he soon returned, al- leging that Flood had “sheared” him out of the office. This little salt-water joke . is by United States law a felony, punishable by th.iree.years’ hard labor in a penitontlaiiy-a service that the per- petrators appear to be more admirably ﬁtted for than even pacing the deck of a freebooter or a man-of-war, as the case may be.‘ The commission of it, however, with-in the waters of a State instead of on the high seas, gives the-State Courts instead of the Federal Courts jurist-dictioen of is. Shlorteil: also went -before United States Deputy District Attorney Van- Duzer and stated the facts of the outrage to him. Mr. Van Duzer explamcd to him the steps necessary to be taken -in a civil suit to recover damages and the bond that would be required by law to be given, and appointed an hour for him. to return with tbonccessary beudsmeii, but as he did’ not come back the supposition is that he was unable to ﬁnd the security.

DARED T0 MORTAL COMBAT. A Tobaeoonlst Challenges His Enemy-— An Appeal to the Law. . Eltrom the New York He2ral?d.i It has been said fromtims immomorial that “two of a trade‘ can never 2: res,” and it is not therefore surprising that r. David Levy and Mr. Gustav Fuchs, both tobacconists of this city, should be on bad terms. For them to have smoked the pipe of peace would have been a comparatively reasonable proceeding, as they‘ might have ﬁlled the said i ‘e at first cost. Buttlie did not do so, an or nearly L ﬁve years the ame of hate has burned in Mr. Fuchs’ bosom more steadily than the-best cigar. On the 3d inst. it would have been easy to carry the ‘metaphor still further by conceiving the cigar ‘to be one of those infa- mous contrivsuccs charged with powder, which burn beautifully for a time and. then explode with a pull‘ that affords diabolical _ mirth to the locker on and brings confusion ~ and wrath. to the smoker. ‘ i Mr. Fuchs is a handsome little gentleman, * portly and ﬂorid, with a black IIll.lStnC'1le_. a keen eye, and a qui-ck,nervous way of speak- ing. He dresses well witli-.11, and his aﬁ'abil- ity would make a favorable impression on any one. Mr. Fuchs felt that he had maintained . a hollow peace long enoiigh,aud learning that I Mr. Lcvywas about to obtain possession of a. I letter of his (Fuchs’)- to a third party Mr. Fuchs exploded. Trembling with wrath, he wrote the following letter, which he sent to Mr.‘ Levy: NEW YORK, April 3, 18’Z8.—Miserable , Fraud: I hear that you feel yourself insulted in consequence of a certain lettei‘. You good- for-nothing rascal, you have robbed, cheated and defrauded me. ’ can prove. to you through impartial witnesses, who can prove your “dog meaii”__cllai'acter, you cowardly mock fraud uucti. oueer. I can produce them - at any moment. But if you are not 9. miser- * able coward, and will dispose of this matter‘ like a man, I challenge you herewith to ﬁght a duel. You are at liberty to ﬁx the time, place and weapons. I will be on hand. In conclusion, consider yourself s it in the face by GUSTAV FUCHS. Mr. Levy read the letter and gasped. It is . hardly to be supposed that he forebore to ac- } cent the challenge out of any good will to Fuchs, for the reporter has his word for it t-bathe was about to institute a suit for libel against that gentleman. ButMr. Levy is not ~a man to hastily gird one pistol and pace forth to possible death in pursuance of a punctilio. Mr. Levy hasa wife and an inter- esting family. He is a man of substance, who could say with Dogberry that he is ‘ ‘one that hath two gowns and evervthing handsome abouthim. ” Mr. Levy is also a good natur- ed man, to judge from his appearance, who has learned in his ﬁfty years or so of. life to look on the jollier side of things, who has laughed and is not above the suspicion of hav- ing grown fat. He is, moreover, a 1aw-abid- mg citizen and prefers a Writ to a billet, and, paying. taxes for the support of a police force to maintain the public peace, is too thriftv to commit a breach of the peace. Mr. Levy speaks good English with a. strong foreign ac- cent. He said: ‘ ‘Yeas, I a sept dot jallenge. I name (lcr dim-o nut Mass 11 dot bolice gourt. unt my veppon vos dot leedle rass shtar on dot oﬁlcer. ” And Mr. Levy aughed hearti- ly as he told the reporter this. For, as this indicates, Mr. Levy had taken the course pre- scribed by the law to good citizens. before Judge Otterbourg,in the Fifty-seventh Street Police Court, bright and early yester- day, and, producing the cartel published above, swore that Gustav Fuchs had unlaw- fully challenged him (the deponent) to light a duel with deadly weapons, and prayed that process inightissue for the apprehension of said Gustav Fuchs and that he might be dealt with as the law directs. Process did issue- Fucbs was apprehended and arraigned, and to the questions of the Judge he rep1ie% em- phatically that-» he did write, sign, sell and cause to be delivered - the note to Levy, of which the latter complained. He desired to ctﬂioult-I counsel; but aftervvards, by Judge ()ttorbourg’s advice, be waived an examina- tion and promptly furnished two boudsinen, who justified in the sum of $2,500 each. Mr. Levy explained the: diﬂiculty last even- ing in detail, saying that Mr. Fuchs had once been a partner in the firm of Levy & Now- gau for several months, but that the ﬁrm had been obliged to get rid of him. He said that Mr. Fuchs was an honest man, but the firm did‘ not prosper under his management. Since that time Mr. Fuchs had had Levy & New- gase on the brain, and had bombarded them with letters on which they were about to bring an action for libel. This action he had, however. abandoned on the receipt of the cballcnlgc , preferring to act on that.

I John Henderson Monro, who is in custody in Edinburgh charged with stealing roof- sheets from the promises of Messrs. eill cl; Co. , printers, where he was employed asma- chineiuan, was again before the Police Court on Saturday, when Mr. Sheriff Hamilton, who presided, said he had received som-e.iuforina- than about the case, and thought the proper course was to submit it to a higher Court. It would appear that shortly after the publica- tion of the E~ncyclop<r!dia Brita.nnz'ca, was commenced in this coiintr , the ﬁrst volume was reproduced (without the publisher’s kuowleclge or consent) by an A.lllGl‘lC5_lI1 ﬁrm, named Stoddart 35 Co.. of Phila- delphia, who have issued the subsequent volumes regularly as they were pub- lisbed here. The interval between the appearance of the American edition and that of" the English one being surprisingly short. con-s.idei'ing the size and varied character of the: Encyclopeedia volumes, Messrs. Black in- stituted inqiuiries in America, and from thence were reliably informed that early sheets of the work found their way directly from the printiligh allies in Edinburg to that country. This intelligence was communica- ted to Messrs. Neill, the printers, who then recollected that, curiously enough, shortly after the Encyclopmdia was commenced here. Monro, the man now in custody, applied for work in their press room (where the sheets were thrown oﬂ after final correction), and that this man. came from America. Latterly Moore has been under suspicion, and on Wednesday last, having been observed taking sheets, he was arrested, and the sheets found in his pocket. A Lucky Carpenter. l1i‘rom the Sodslia Democrat.) Rumor reached the ears of a Democrat re- porter yesterday that a carpenter named 8. VV. Dyer had fallen heir to a fortune of $125,- 000. Now, those are the kind of men a re- porter likesto meet, and he forthwith went in search of Mr. Dyer. He was found in his room at his boarding-house, on the corner of FourtliAnd Ohio streets, and immediately desired to know who informed the newspaper- men of" his fortune. He said he had. only spoken of it to a few of his particular friends, and that he did not desire to make it public, but that‘ there was a mistake abouttlio $125, - 000. He is one of eight heirs in a suit against parties who hold Dossession of ﬁfty-two and a half acres oi: land in‘ the city of St. Louis, near the Compton Hills. The suit has been in Court for ei ht years and over, and was first appeals o the Court of Appeals in St. Louis Count by the heirs, who were defeated in Circuit Court. The Supreme Court of the State of Missouri affirmed the decision of the Court of Appeals, and the heirs are now victors and will imme- diately for the spoils. Mr. er received. a letter from his la. or to come to St. Louis and take possession. he estate at the time the suit was brought was considered worth $50,000.

A correspondent writes from Constanti- nople, March 10, to the London Times as fol- own: ' ‘ ‘An incident of a pleasing nature in these troubled times was the visit here of Gen. Grant, the ex-President of the United States. On his arrival at Smyrna, on the 22d of Feb- ruary, he received a ﬁrman from the Ports giving the Vandalia permission to visit Con- stantinople. An officer went as far as Gal- lipoli to meet the General. He arrived here accompanied by his wife and youngest son. One of the Sultan's aides do camp immediately conveyed the congratulations of his Majesty upon the General’: arrival in Turkey, and his regret that the sad condition of affairs pre- vented the General’s receiving such honors as Turkey would only be too glad to accord to one who, as President of the United States, had always been a friend of the Ottoman Government. Had the General come in time of peace, the Sultan would have given him a palace; but now he came to a house of mourning, and the Welcome would have to be the welcome of sorrow. The General sent his compliments to the Sultan, not only for this attention, but for the atten- tions he had received through the Turkish Empire. He said be perfectly understood the situation, and would rather not be any trouble to the Sultan at a time when the greatest of troubles rested upon‘his throne and his house. This was followed by an audience with the Sultan. The interview was strictly private, and was marked by the absence of all ceremony. The Sultan re- peated his regret that the condition of Turkey prevented his making Gen. Grant his special guest, and giving him a review of troops and a palace. Beyond this and the Geuera1’s ex- pression of courteous regret at the calamity which had fallen upon Turkey, there was no allusion to politics. The Sultan, however, asked the General to accept as a souvenir of the visit one of his best Arab horses. This the General would. have declined, but an in- tiniation that the refusal might be misunder- stood led to an acceptance, and an Arab steed of dzipple-gray will soon be on its way to America to do service under one who, in addition to other attributes, is one of the finest horsemen iii a nation famous for horse- Inansliip, and who rejoices in nothing so much as in the grace and majesty of a true- blooded charger. ‘ ‘In addition to this there was further hon-— or to the General in the shape of a dinner in the War‘ Office, attended by all the Cabinet, by Mehe-met Ali Pasha, the military attaches of foreign Embassies and Legatioiis, and the Gciiei'al’s own party. The General had a long conversation with the Premier about the war, who assured him‘ that, although the day might be dark now, there were days when the sun.sIione; that Turkey had had her clayl»e- fore, and would have it again, just as France had within this very century. I am told,.also, on good authority,‘ that his Highness thought that the downfall of France, in 1870, was the severest blow dealt to Turkey, and that if France had been in the fullness of her ancient strength the war would not have gone so far. Gen. Grant had also an interesting conversa- tion with Mchcmet All Pasha, who declared that if he had shown as much ﬁrmness in the resistance of evil and injudieious counsels and orders as Geu.Grant. had shown in resisting the imerfereiice of the Lincoln Cabinet during the war, he might have thrown the Russians into the Danube. To this s'ugg:__'esti0n the General responded by one: of the brilliant ﬂash-es of silence for which he is renowned. Another incident of the Gener-.l.l’s stay was a cordial invitation from the Commander of the Russian Army to pay him a visit at San Ste- fauo. This was a sore teiiiptation, as it came in the most ﬁzittering manner, and the visit would have been of the greatest interest to a soldier who had conniianded at one time 1,100,000 men. But the General felt that he was in a certain sense the guest of the Turks; that they had done him all the honor in their ,power, and that it would be a poor return of their courtesy to go as a guest to the army which was at the gates of their capital; so he sent a courteous excuse to the Russian com- mander, and did not visit the Russian lines. The General is in excellent health, and has passed through the ancient and storied lands of the East with quite an American rapidity. He is said to be an earnest, pushing traveler, pauseless in his journeys, and ready for any trip, no matter what fatigue it involves. The General left this on the 8th for Athens, where he grill be the guest of the King‘ of Greece, 3. (1 remain four days. Thence he goes to Naples, and will join his daughter, Mrs. Sartoris, in Rome, where he will re- main some weeks. . ‘ ‘Throughout this journey Gen. Grant has received royal honors. On board the Vanda- lia, whenever he leaves on oﬂicial visits, the yaids are manned and twenty-one guns are ﬁred. Of course, this is by the order of the American Government, and I only mention it to show the respect in which the ox-President is held by the United States. he General himself has endeavored, as far a oosible, to avoid these special honors, and has only ac- cepted them when their rejection would have been uugracious; but, of course, when every olllcial of the American Government is under orders to lie in wait for the General and do honor to him, these compliments become a part, and it is to be feared an exacting part, of his journey. The Gencra1’s many friends in England will be glad to know that al- though his recqption there was far rem royal-was, in set, simply such honor as is paid to men of eminence-he considers his memories of England. as the pleasantest of his trip. ‘If I were not an American, ’ he is reported to have said, ‘I would be an En- glishman; and if I did not live in America I would live in England.’ I have no doubt that our homely, hearty English way of re- ceiving Gen. Grant made a better impression upon his mind, and was more in consoiiance with the extreme simplicity of his tastes, than the pomp and show which has followed him everywhere else. An incident came to my knowledge the other day of the pains thb General took to deny a story that he was of- fended at the way in which he had been treat- ed by the .l?i'in_ce of Wales. Some mischiev- ous paper printedastory that the General was grieved because, at Marlborouirh Home at dinner,lie. was not permitted to sit next the Emperor of Brazil, but was degraded down the table into the society of mere peers like Lorri Salisbury and Lord Beaconsﬁeld. The 52».-::e:=a-! promptly denied the story, and said t,E;.«.t no one could have shown him more at- tention than the Prince of Wales. and that he had carried away the best possible feelings toward the Prince. His trip to Scotland iii- teresied liini deeply, more especially his visit to Duurobin and Invcrary. ‘There is no man living,’ he said, ‘for whom I have a higher esteem than for the Duke of Argyll. ’ He looks forward to his visit to Ireland with great pleasure, and will make that tour as he goes home. At a time like this, when the good relations between nations are the sub- ject of anxiety, it is pleasant to note the emphatic and cordial friendliness of a man so illustrious as Gen. Grant, who for sixteen years swayed so vast an inﬂuence in Ameri- ca, and who, unless every indication would . fail, is still destined to beta most powerful, if not again a dominant, force in the politics of the country. ” ' A Broken Heart. rllavana Correspondence New York Spirit of the Times.) ‘ One morning, a fortnight ago, I happened in at the American Consulate, and was intro- duced to a gentleman apparently about thirty- six years of age. He was above thoiiiiddle height, and remarkably handsome, dark and Spanish looking. I saw him only forafew minutes, but he made: decided iinpression on me. Ilittlo thoiight that Ishould never see Congressman J. E. Leonard again. He died last night at the Hotel Telegrafo, ofa broken heart, the victim of the old, old story -—unrequited love. His romance was this: Some years ago he formed the acquaintance of a young Cuban lady of wealthy family, and courted her on the promise’ that he would yet present her with a career worthy of her hand. His pro- motion was rapid. In a short time he rose from post to post, to be J udge and Congress- man. Seeing his futureso assured, he came to Havana to lay his honors at tl1o1ady’sfcet, and to oﬁ'er her his heart and hand. While still on board the steamship Columbus, in this port. he rcccivedslotter from her, which had been awaiting his arrival for delivery, and in which she advised him not to land, as she was not disposed to listen to his over- tures. Of course it was impossible for Mr. Leonard to remain on shipboard in the hot harbor. He landed, but onlyto ﬁnd he was cruelly ilted, and that he had boon in the pursuit so ong of a heart of stone. His excitement drove him to his bed. He fell into a morbid condition, which he vainly endeavored to conquer. Ho struggled bravely, but such was his bitter grief, such the blew‘ his love and manly dignity had received, that ho" speedilysank into a state which left him the guy prey of the first of those many fell , Fanny. hovering around, ,_viiltui'e-like, to seize out declining human , fwers. I-Iis fate eanieiin-.. the form of the do on. yellow fever. His condition spread about among the lady’s, friends, and they‘ were convinced that his life -rested in her hands. They condemned her conduct, and, it is said, remonstrated with her for it. On the night before he died, the at length eon- science-stricken woman sent a messenger to his bedside to state that they could meet this spring in New Orleans, and matters mi,rht be satisfactorily arranged. A sad smile passed over his face, and in the midst of it might be seen a gleam of new life, of triumph, perhaps something of resentment. ‘ ‘I do not want that woman, ” he said bitterly. It was his last effort. He was within reach of his cher- ished prize, with poWer——perhaps the latent hope to seize it. Alas! poor human nature; the crisis and the complications were too great. He sank after the momentary rally; the delirium resumed its sway, and he died at 1 o’ clock on the morning of March 15. A Woman’s Revenge. [From the Brooklyn Union-Argus.) “Humph” is the inelegant nickname-cf a small-sized colored man, who has inﬂamed with jealousy two colored damsels, Fanny Gordon and Sarah C. Moore, who have for some time occupied apartments in the brick building, No. 5 Fulton Place, once notorious as the residence of a Mrs. Redline. Sarah claims to be a Mrs.. and it is said that at one time she was the wife of a famous colored boxer. Fanny is, according to her own story, a poor, lone widow. “Huinph’s” right name is Edward Francis, and on Sun- day, tliougb diniiiiutive in stature, he makes all “do cullud gals” stare, and “dc gem- men of color” eye him enviously "as he marches up the church aisle with the nobbiest female in the neighborhood in his company. Once Sarah C. Moore was the object of his affections, but lately -he has TRANSFERRED HIS ADMIRATION to Fannie Gordon, and the result was that be- tween the two women the bitterest feelings existed, fanned in Sarah’s case by that green- eyed monster jealousy. Last night there was a great colored ball in Moutrose avenue, Eastern District, and among the invited guests were Sarah and Sarah saw her opportunity. She had long nursed her wrath in secret, and she determined by one blow to rid herself of her rival by disﬁguring her face. Meeting Fanny in the hall, she attacked her with a razor, and, before her victim could escape, drew the keen-edged weapon twice across her face. The first stroke laid open the poor creature’ as face from the center of the forehead, across one of the eyebrows, to the middle of the cheek. The second cut a frightful gash across the nose and both cheeks. THEN THE BLOODTHIRSTY ASSASSIN FLED, leaving her wretched victim to stagger down- stairs, deluging her g she went with the b ood streaming -from her ghastly wounds. - Officer Riley, of the First Precinct, Was within a block of the house, but by the time be had been notiﬁed of the occurrence the woman Moore had made good her escape. He alarmed other policemen, and then took the injured woman to the City Hospital, where, after having her wounds dressed, she was pint an bed, for she was very ill from loss of 00 . At 1:30 o’clock this nioriiing the ofﬁcer was directed to ascertain at the hospital how the patient w‘as. He says that ﬁnding the front door ajar and no light burning, he attempt- ed to enter without ringing, fearing to awaken the patients. He was, however, seen by a patient, who called a male nurse, who in a surly manner chided him for enter- ing without ringing, and was at first inclined not to give him the information he wanted. Riley became indignant, and said something about carelessness in leaving the front door open that brought the nurse to his senses. A New Use for Riﬂes in Warfare. [From the London Pall Mall Gaze1.te.] A new use for the riﬂe in warfare has been suggested by the experience gathered in the late campain in 'I‘urkey—namely, its applica- tion to vertical ﬁring. It was found (accord- ing to a letter to the Times from Bucharest) that numbers of Russian soldiers were struck by the Turkish balls, when under the old conditions of ﬁghting they might have been considered safe, being not only far beyond the usual range, but actually concealed by cl- evations of the ground, and even hills lying between them and their opponents. A remarkable instance of this occurred at the Scbipka. Pass, when Gen. Dragomiroﬁ‘ was wounded in the knee by a bullet, not- wltbstandi g that the mountain intervened- the Turkish bullet rose high in the air, passed ver the summit, and came down on the other side as it fell. . Some of the Russian rank and ﬁle were hit in like manner at the same place. The writer su;;ges.i.s the question whether it might not be possible to devise a regular sys- tem of vertical or dropping ﬁre to reach the enemy when quite out of sight, hidden be- bind a wood or ridge. Tile distance being de- termined by the oi'diii:ii'_v range-ﬁnder, all that is necess:u'_',' is it simple instrument to in- dicate the correct elevation which should be given to the barrel of the riﬂe, and about this there does not seem any diiﬁciilty. It is easy to conceive how deinoralizing to a body of troops waiting in i°esei've———witbout the excitement of action——would be a shower of bullets from unseen enemies dropping over the very ridge they relied on for pro- tection. The Gatling gun appears capable of utilization in this way. There is no reason, it seems, to fear that bullets will lose their penetrativo power at such ranges. At two thousand yards the bullets from the Peabody riﬂe used by the Turks came with such force as to bury themselves sixteen inches in a hard clay soil. Crop Prospects in Iowa. The Dubuque (Iowa) Times of the 3d inst. says: “Last week we passed over 500 miles of Iowa railroad, and very carefully observed the condition of the spring work and seeding.- Au unusual acreage has been sown with wheat, and wheat, oats, and rye are three weeks to a months earlier than in the average of seasons. A, large proportion of the wheat was up and looking strong and promising. The condition of the soil for seeding and for early sprouting we judge to have been never better. A few--about the same pro- portion that are iilxvays behind, no matter what the ci'i'c1liiist:liices—had not sowed their wheat, but foui'—ﬁf!_lis had im- proved the favorable weather of March, and are now rewarded by seeing the splendid promise of a bounteous crop. Many were plowing for corn, having a care to early plaiitiiig, in order to escape the possi- ble autumn frosts. We are led‘ to believe, both from personal observation and from rep- reseiitatioiis made by others, that large as last year’s wheat crop was, the crop of this ‘ year, according to present promise, will be not less than 5,000,000 bushels greater in Iowa. There is this to encourage us to look for an excellent as well as large crop, the fact that it was sown so early. March sown wheat scarcely ever fails in this State, and especial- ly that sown in early March, and more than half the present crop was in before the 15th. ” A Sailor on Prayer. [From the New York Methodist.l “A don’t object, ” said the quartermaster on Sunday morning. while our ship was run- ning toward the equator before the northeast trade wind, ‘ ‘I don’t object to prayers when it blows a liurricane or when we are on a lee- shore. But here we are called lift to prayers when the weai.liei' is as fine as ever was made; fair winds ‘every day; a clear sun at noon; sky sails, studding sails and everything else set; not a brace or sheet unbelayed for weeks; the ship going ahead so steady that she could carry a glass of sherry on that capstan, and not spill a drop of it. But pra ers it is, ac- co9i;c’ling to orders. Now what s the good of it. Divorce and Insanity.

N0'l'th RIVGI‘ pier AN ncenurnic l§IlIlLlONAlRI<.‘... Advertising for Heirs. the Estate of Joseph L. Lew18——Autecedents of the Deceased. . ' [From the New York Herald.] The plot of the litigation over the will of Joseph L-. Lewis. the deceased Hoboken mil- lionaire, who bequeathed his fortune, esti- mated at over $1,000,000, to the United States Government, appears to thicken. Already there have appeared three contestants of the will. Jane H. Lewis, who claims to have been Lewis’ wife, and who was left entirely uuprovided for by the will of the deceased, that she lived in marital relations with the eccentric millionaire-—at least, such is the general opinion in Hoboken and J erscy City. Then there is the other contestant who claims ‘to be Lewis’ son, and a third, named Catli- eart, proseeutes his claim all the way -from Ireland, on the rather distant ground that heis the son of Lewis’ half sister. An ad- vertisement appeared in the Herald person- als yesterday asking the heirs to $1,200,000 to come forward at once, calling especially upon Amanda, Ezra, Abner, Lyman and‘ Flora Lewis to communicate with Sydney J .Coweu, attorney, at No. 25 Chambers street, and promisiug at the same time liberal rewards for information in reference to these persons. As the result of the litigation over this ex- traordinary Will is regarded with unusual in- terest, Mr. Cowen was called_ upon for some more detailed information in reference to these new claimants. The following is the lgimily history of Lewis, as recounted by im: THE LEWIS FAMILY HISTORY. . The father of Joseph L. Lewis, the deceas- ed Hoboken millionaire, was Gideon Levy, who lived on the island of Jamaica with one Jane Wright, a beautiful inulatto. Joseph L. , Ezra, Abner, Lyman and Flora Lewis were their illegitimate offspring, and all born in ‘Jamaica. The family emigrated to the Uni- ted States and settled in Pennsylvania about the beginning of the present century. There the father, Gideon Levy, changed his name on account of his unsavory relatlons,to Lewis. When the children attained maturity the family broke up and scattered. Joseph L. came to New Jersey and amassed a fortune of $1,000,000. Ezra went to Michigan, and was but little heard of again. Abner settled _in Rensselaer County, N. Y., and his family still ﬂourish at Saratoga Springs. Lyman is supposed to have gone to Delaware, and was lost sight of there, while Flora, who subsequently married, went to Northuinber- land, Saratoiza County. The only descendants of the brotliers and of Flora who have been in communication with Mr. Cow- en, and from whom the present facts were obtained, are William and Nelson Lewis, the sons, and Adelia, the daughter of Abner. William is now about ﬁfty years of age, and claims to have conversed with his deceased when quite young. He remembered him_ as “dark complexioned,” “bald,” and being an ‘ ‘engraver.” Nelson lives in Troy, and is a gun manufacturer of some means. Ade- lia, their sister, married one Charles Sanders. Amanda Lewis, who is also advertised for, is the daughter of one of the brothers of.the de- ceased millionaire, and lived a short time ago at N o. 152 North Pearl street, Albany. Three months ago she . was in this city, at No. 21, East Sixteenth street, but Mr. Cowen states that she has again been lost sight of. NEPHEWS’ REMINISCENCES. A son of Ezra, the Michigan brother, is said to have met his uncle, the deceased, in company with William Lewis at the Troy pier, and the attorney is particularly anxious to discover the whereabouts of the Michigan branch of the family. One of the nephews _ remembers to have been told, “You have got a rich uncle in Hoboken.” at a. time when his father was invited to visit the eccentric millionaire at that place. Another nephew affectionately identities his deceased uncle as “Stingy Ingin,” a name by which he says the old man generally went in the family cir- cle. It is Mr. Cowen’s intention to submit the aﬂidavits of the present contestants, in order to obtain . an order from the Court of Chancery in Jersey City under which they may be allowed to prove their claims if the will is overthrown. Although Mr. Lewis died over a year ago, and the reputed widow’s contest has gone on actively all this time, the case is still in apro- liminary stage, and it promises a litigation extending over a number of years. The tes- timony being gathered b{)C. C. See, Master in Chancery, will have to e submitted to the New Jersey Court of Chancery, and if the de- cision is against the United States Govern- ment, as it is generally expected, so that the widow and other alleged heirs may come in for their share of the estate, the Government will undoubtedly appeal the case and carry it ultimately to the United States Supreme Court. . A White Mountain Mystery. [New York Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette. I There is a story going the rounds of fash- ionable gossip which some of the readers of the Gazette may consider as improper. But I heard it in a well-conducted drawing-room, and from the lips of a lady who stands as high in society as she does in her church; and if I thought it anything but a harmless and amusing incident, I should not tell it. It is late in setting out in its travels, for it relates to a journey of last summer in the White Mountains: One of the best known clerg men of this city, and famous throughout t e Union for his ability as well as his piety, was taking the regulation trip with his wife through the mountains. They were on the way from the Paciﬁc House to the Crawford, or from the Crawford to the Proﬁle, and were seated on the top of the stage where they could see the scenery to advantage, while chatting with their fellow-passengers on the roof. This is a time,as every one knows, of easy acquaint- auceships and democratic fun. Among those of their companions whom the good Doctor and his lady especially liked was a lady whose distinguished and yet reﬁned appearance at- tracted much attention. From an introduc- tion to an intimacy, as you know. is but the space of an hour in summer travels, and the three speedily became fast friends. The strange lady was so bright and witty in her talk, was so evidently wealthy, and withal was so thorough a lady that, when the Rev. Mr. Blank and his wife learned that she was a New Yorker, they came to the stereotyped conclusion that New York was a large city, for here was a brilliant and accomplished woman whom they had never met,»and they had supposed that they knew the best society of the metropolis. The friendship lasted all day, which is longer than some of these mid- summer friendships do, and at night there worthy pair to ﬁnd that their companion in- tended to remain some days at the hotel, while they were going on in the morning. They both hoped that they thould meet her at breakfast in the morning, and they did. After breakfast the clergyman ’ s wife began to press her friend to come and see them in New York. “You know my husband preaches in such and such a church, and we should be delight- ed to have you call. We are all New-Yorlb ers, and we ought to know each other. Now I hope you will exchange cards with me, and come and see us as soon as you can.” The lady took Mrs. Blank’s card quietly and po- litely, and murmured some excuse for not giving her own. But Mrs. Blank was not to be put oil‘ in this manner. She persisted and insisted. “You must come and see us; you must promise me that you will.” Finally the fair unknown raised her ﬁne eyes, and said: “Mrs. Blank, in New York you would not care to know me. ’ ’ This sent our friend of!‘ in a ﬂutter, and, ﬁnding some acquaint- ances in the hotel, the unsophisticated and still unsuspecting lady appealed to them to solve the mystery. They advised her to drop the subject right there. And she did. Per- haps we had better drop it, too. Or shall we first tell our readers who-—but no; it was quite too awful. Did you ever hear of Cora Pearl, of Paris? Well, New York has a Cora Pearl of a different and more prosaic name-— and you may draw your own inferences.’ A Forced Conversion.

The Governor ﬁnally brought forward the girl, who was now dressed in the Turkish costume, although she previously had worn the Bulgarian. In reply to his questions, tha girl said that she wished of her own free will to become a Mussulman, and that it was not in conse ueuce of threats or inducements held out y her Turkish captor that she had come to this conclusion. It was manifest that the declaration had been dragged from the poor girl by coercion. The Vast Sum that the Bell Punch may ~ Bing Into the Treasury. r From the Boston Herald. I According to the statistics collected from official sources by Mr.VV. F. Spau1ding,there are now considerably over 6,000 places in the Commonwealth where liquor is sold. During the year ending the 30th of last June, 6,838 persons took out retail licenses from the Uni- ted States, and this is the most accurate guide we know of, but it is not likely there are 80 mm}? places open at present, owing to the hard times and other causes. Still, that number is less than there had been in any year since 1872. Perhaps there may be 6,400 establishments of high and low degree now engaged in the business. Persons who have made the subject a study reckon that the sales of these places will average $4,000 a year, which wouldindicate that. at retail prices, $25,600,000 Worth of liquor will be sold in the State during the year. We have no way in which to determine how much-of this will be paid for malt, and how much for stronger liquors: nor isit necessa- ry for our present purpose to know this. At the Virginia. rates ale and beer pay 10 per cent on each sale, and ardent spirits 16 per cent. It will -not be unjust to reckon the av- erage at 12 per cent., though it is probably greater in the Old Dominion. At that ﬁgure Massachusetts would realize on the basis of our other colnputations, $3,072,000 a year from this tax. Three millions of money is a large suiu. A good deal can be done. with it. In these hard times it strikes the Herald it is worth saving. It is not necessary that the precise Virginia ﬁgures of half a cent for each glass of beer and two and half cents for each glass of alco- holic liquors should be adopted, though these have worked well in ractice. What we want is to see the princip e put in operation. Of course the sum realized here will not be so large as in New York, where the metropolis alone spends $60,000,000 a year for drinks, and where it is estimated $10,000,000 a year could be collected; but, if we given above and look for only t_hji,_‘_ ' is. not that worth Working for?) f. . The Mexican Revolution. I’ From the San Antonio Herald.) Just so soon as Diaz got raiding stopped on the Rio Grande, the greasers of that region became restless and kicked up a revolution. If the rebels are not immediately put down by the Mexican Government, chaos and mis- rule will soon reign supreme along the river, and the old system of raiding into Texas will again prevail. The result will inevitably fol- low that the Unit ed States, to protect the people of Texas, will be forced to recognize Diaz, and aid him in keeping his turbulent subjects in proper subjection to law. Astrong government in the city of Mexico. with a long arm reaching to the Rio Grande, is the only thing that will put an end to our troubles with those people. And the Government at Washington owes it to the people of Texas, that they may live in security, to see that Mexico has a Government that can control its people and make them respect the rights of others. Diaz has been keeping things quiet, and the administration, instead of recogniz- ing his Government and strengthening his hands, has been ﬁddling and fooling over the subject, until a revolution has broken "out, that may raise for the people of Texas a very hell along the border. The lllost Precious of Gifts. Health is undeniably a more precious gift than riches, honor or power. Who would exchange it for these, the chief objects of human ambition? It is ob- viously the part of wisdom to employ means for the preservation of health and the prolongation of life which time and experience have proved to bc relia- ble. Many of the dangers by which health is threat- cned may be nullified bv the use of that most irresist- ible of coi-reciives and tonics.

The great discussion on the question of the abolition’ of German instruction in the public schools came on‘ last night in the School Board, at its regular meeting. Every member was on hand. All tlle seats ap- propriated l.'or visitors were occupied, the major- , ity of the citizens present ilaturally being Ger- man. The Tivoli Hall Committee were there.

President Richeson took the Chair at 8:10. After the usual run of communications, apati- tion was read from citizens of Cal-ondclot praying that colored teachers be placed over the colored school in that district. The petition was largely silzned. Referred to Teachers’ Committee. . -A similar petition was read with regard to Sumner (colored) High School. Same reference. THE GERMAN. ’ Mr. Rassieilr asked permission to introduce the chairman of a committee that was waiting to present a petition to the Board. A formal motion was then made. . Altllough Mr. Rassiour did not state what com- mittee it was who desired to address the Board, everybody knew it was the Tivoli Hall Com- mittee, who wanted to protest against the pro- posed abolition of the German. Mr. Stallion objected . He said: The business of the Board is so great to--night,-and we have heard so much speaking from "outside members of the Board,” that I shall object to anybody speaking except those who are entitled to speak under the rules of the Board. Mr. Rassieur. Ican assure the gentleman that the chairman of the committee will be exceed- ingly brief, and certainly when a-representative of a largeinumher of citizens wishes to come -here to address us the gentleman will not object, even though he does object to the views of the pe- titioning citizens. I did not, when that gentle- man asked a similar privilege, even though I did object to the views expressed. Certainly, too much light can not be thrown on any subject. We are the servants of the .people, and ought not to be afraid when the people wish to address us. Mr. Scliwcickllurdt seconded the motion of Mr. Rassieur. , Mr. Cupplcs had no objection to the chairman of the committee addressing the Board, but in view of the importance of the business to be trallsacted, it was to be hoped that tliutgrentleman wolild fully appreciate the necessity of being brief. Mr. Cupples hoped the resolution would be adopted. Mr. Schweickhardt hoped that Mr. Stanton would witlldraw his objection. He assuredly could not deny that citizens had a right to claim that their petitions should be read. Mr. Stallion. Ihav-e not denied the light of the gentleman to present a petition to this Board. But we have had two or three School Boards lately, one at the Tivoli, one here, and oncdowil at Concordia Hall, and one elsewhere; and there are more outside committees present than one. And before I would grant any more pi'ivilc9;e to one than to another, I am opposed to any of them occupying the time of the Board. If we are in- capable of dealing with the question presented to us, let us all resign, and let those "outside School Boards” take hold and act in the matter as they please. , Mr. Rassieur said if objection was had to the Chairman of the Committee addressing the Board he himself would read the petition. Tile Chair thought the petition could be read with propriety. ‘ ‘ Mr. O'Connell. If petitions are to be read I have one signed by about 20,000 citizens. The Chair. Whydocs the gentleman object to the reading of the petition? Mr. O’Corlllell. Iobject to reading it at this stage of the proceedings, when l‘8~l)0I'lS are in order. I raise the point of order. Mr. Rassicllr. I hold a communication from 10,000 citizens, and I want to read it. Mr» u’Oonnell. I raise another point of order. The Chair. State the point of order. Mr. O’Coilnell. I object because I have never heard any member read a communication. Tllat duty belongs to the Secret.nr_v. If this matter must be read, I hope the Secretary will read it. My point of order is that the gentleman can not read this matter. _ Tile Chair. That point of order is not well taken. Unless an objection of the majority, I don't see why the member can not read it. Mr. Glynll. Mr. Cliairlnau, one word—--— The Chair interfered. _ Mr. Stanton. Iobject. I move that the read- ing of the petition be dispensed with, and that all or_dei' be made; that it be referred to its appro- priate committee, in_ order that it might come up after due consideration . Mr. ltombauer. I rise to a point of order. I unclerstand that the Chair ruled that Ml‘. Rassieul: has the floor. 4 If so, no other member can speak while he has the ﬂoor. THE PETITION READ. . Mr. Rassieur read the petition. It has already lien published in the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT. Tile Germans present loudly applauded the The Chair renlonstrated. and stated if there were any more demonstration by visitors he would order the room to be cleared by all but members. Mr. Stanton. Imove that the petition be re- ferred to the Committee of Ways and Means, in gonjullclion with the Committee on Course of ‘ludv. . Mr. Jennings seconded the motion. I Mr. Rasslcilr. The gentleman knows that the Committee of Course of Study are ready to make 1 report. Mr. O’Connell. I rise to a point of order. Is the question of reference debatable? The Chair. Yes. . Mr. O’Conllell. I have known the gentleman wllo read the petition decide against the position he now lakes. Mr. Rilssieur. I think the gentleman is mis- jl.-lken. His memory is at fault. It is very evi- .lellt that this question of the retention of Ger- man must come up. To now refer the petition to committees is absurd ‘ Mr. Stanton. I believe it is the proper course to pursue. It is the custom of this Board to refer all communications -addressed to the Board to their appropriate committees. The gentleman re- fers to the coming report of the Committee on the Course of Study; but I have not seen that report. How do I know who signed that long sheet of his? [Laughtclu] I have not seen it. Therefore it is best for the Board to consider it leisurely. I venture to say that no member of the Board, except the gentleman from the Ninth (Mr. Rassieur) and the Chairman of the Com- mittee on the Course of Study (Mr. Ronibauel-), know any more of that report than I do myself. Tile committee representing the ﬁnances of the Board. and the committee representing the course of study are the appropriate committees to which to refer the petition.

The Board had made certain speciﬁc contracts with certain societies for the free use of the Board room.

Mr. Stanton continued: There is no question about the fact that the teaching of the language costs the Board, according to official fl area. be- tween $60,000 and $70,000 per annum. t will not stop there, but the moment you build additional 80110013. or the Board orders it, according to the rule this language is introduced there, and con- sequently there is an additional expense. I maln- taln most positively that neither this country, nor any other under the face of heaven, can sustain two languages. in dull times, for this card to appropriate the public money for the purpose of any private lan- zuagc whatever. I shall appeal to lily German eolleagues here,and I shall state it very plalnl from my knowledge of their character and e their remarks. that should French, or any other foreign language, be taught to the embarrassment of any national or Amerlcan institution, they would vote solidly against it, and, therefore. I state that the study of German should be struck from the course of our schools. And the reason I have to present is this: Dr. Jennings has told me that he has con- ferred with some of the best German citizens of tile city, and they say that according to the present arrangement they can not get a German education in the public schools of St. Louis unless it is differently aI'l'2l.ll2‘ed. Now, I come right to the ﬁgures presented to this Board 10“8 before this subject originated, and I find that over 7,000 children commenced the study of German for the first year. [This is in the report of the Superintendent for December last.] The ing off of 3,000. And so it goes on, until in the eighth year there remain only 129 of those-who commenced this study. This I maintain to be a useless expenditure of public funds. It was useless to study ally language for one year at half-an-hour a day, as taught in our public schools,wlthout keeping up the study afterwards. And I do hope that the German menlbers, who havealways asserted they were friends of the public schools, won't resent this, but come right forward and protect the system when it is sinking or going into the verge of bankruptcy. I believe it is a fundaincntal principle of this country that all races shall be treated equally alike. If the Germans have the right to have thcirlanguagc taught, and then the French and Irish and Italians and Americans are to pay for it, consider the gross injustice of the proceeding’, when in every ward tllero is a clamor for additional school accommodations. Are we going, sir, l.o add all these accompiishlaents in the way of languages in order to destroy the client of the whole system? POINT OF ORDER. ' Mr. Woodward rose to a point of order, that no member. by the rules. could speak for more than live minutes on any one matter under considera- tion. Mr. Stanton had spoken nine minutes members to hear from. Mr. Stanton moved that Prof. Woodward be ap- pointed tilne-keep-er. [Laughleix] ‘i ' The Chair decided the point of ordcr'lvell taken, but hoped the discussion would be full and free. Col. Rolnbauer moved that Mr. Stanton be al- lowed to continue his remarks.

President, we see in that report that the lua- . jorityof the children leave the public schools at a certain age. According to the report of the Supcl'intendent,tlle poor workingmarﬂs child-rcn , « the mechanicf’e Ichildti"en,*on-ly attendh school on an average or else t on t lree ycal-s—t atone- half of the children leave school in less than three years. Now, why do you want those poor chil- dren to study so many biianclics , or force them to study German, dnlwinsr and music, and wily ask them to neglect an education that is essential to their vgelfgre in liIf‘e.? ﬁtwa-s not by studying so many 0c is that ran.

One ofthc most reprehensible ideas of the whole alfalr is they way our motives are impugned. And by whom, Mr. Presedcnt? By men, sir-1 am not referring to members of the Board-—by ' men who caused a riot that was nearly going 'te‘des.ti'o‘y this city last July.

Before making my renlarks-in-chief. 1 want to give the Board some ﬁgures that may enable us to come to a, wise conclusion in this matter‘. A ntleman opposite read us some statistics rom Chicalzo as ' It 1".-9350“ why we should contlnuoihe toachlnir of Gernlan _ ii: ollr public schools. There are 50,000 pupils . in attendance at the‘ public scnoelsln Chicago, of which that gentleman reD0"“ “I815 01117 2.200 study German. Certainly a very small D!'0P01f' tion of the children attending school there» avail themselves of this ineslimable advantage. We have in our schools here. by 8051131-00111"- within the last few days. 30.856 9<=h01m'8- 05 A which 14,401 of German parentage, and 6,125 of other nationalities were stud)!- ing German, making ,20.i5'‘13 111 E“- '1‘here are 1,339 German -children tha 1 -German, and 8,991 of other 10,330 in round numbers So that about are study- Sup-erinten- - nationalities, making that are not studying Gel'_man- two-thirds of our children ing German. Taking the AL before, I find that more than 50 per cent of the , children of our public schools are enrolled in the ﬂrst and second grades, which represent children of six to eight years 03 395- 1“ 1°°ki“3 ‘- over the statistics, as gathered from , all the schools here-—and they are , very accurate, Iﬁnd that in the lower grades - nearly all of the children take German; but that , almost invariably, with hardly an exception. as , the children rise and ‘get up in hlghergrudcs, THE GERMAN is DROPPED, language. Therefore, you will find in going. through our schools that there are teachers of . German who only have two. tliree. f0I11'. 15% 9-I‘ SIX pupils; and yet we pay German teachers lilgller » salaries than we do teachers of English in the . same grade. So you will see that the study of German is a very expensive lllxllry. ‘If You take the whole number of chil-- dren ill the schools. at 30,836, and put 50 per cent as in the first and second grades -and it really runs 53 per cent-—you have 15,428 in those two lower grades. Tile whole number . of children taking Gerinun is 20,526. 1 All the reports correspond in the show- _ ing tliat only the children in the lower grades take. German; . and therefore you will perceive that only a very small number of children in the upper grades are bell- elited by the insti'llcti-on. With i-e§_-‘Md. to the advantages accruing to the child- rcrl of parents other than German in the study of -German as taught i.n our public schools. I think I can say without contradiction from anyone that it is very rare that hardly any of those children received a. German education that would in any way qualify them to act in the capacity of salesmen or clerks where a perfect knowledge of German is a necessity. They learn to write and read in German, but they do not learn to express themselves in Ger- man. There is no question with regard to that. The children of German parente-lhc lnstrllclion in school being supplemented by con- versation at liome—of course make lnuch more progress in the study of Ger- man than do the children of other parents; that is natural. I have no doubt that ‘so far as the children of German parents are coll- cerned it is an advantage to be taught the Ger- uian lauguageinrthe schools that they attend. But is it rig;lit that we should put into our course of study any study that will ONLY BENEFIT A CERTAIN PORIION and do a positive injury to the o-there? There is not a member of the Board who will answer in the ‘ aﬂlrmative if they will take the trouble to ‘thor- oughly examine ourpiiblic schools. Take a class in geograplly. A certain portion of that class is out in the hall or the rccitatloll room. For that llalf hour those studying German are out reciting‘ the German lesson that they have studied at home. The remainder of the classstay in the room, the teacher giving them that time to study their geography. I have iuade very diligent inquiry in regard to this matter, for I do not want to make a. mistake. I asked a number of teachers, “How is it in re- gal-d to the progress in geography as be- tween those who consume the half hour in the class-room studying geo- grapllyand those who are out reciting their Gerlnan lessons?” Andthe reply was invariably that the study of German was at the expense of whatever other study the children might ‘take at the same time. There could not be any exception to that. It stands to rea- son. We find from the statistics that the average a.ttendance- of children in the public schools is three and one-lialf years, and that 75 per ccpt of the clliidren are in the . .lowergrades—in the first, second, third , fourth and ﬁfth. Now, it is very important that cvery hour of the time that they are able to attend school should be given to the .co.nsidel-.ai.ion of those studies that will be of the greatest ‘advailtae to them in’ the actiye duties of life. And while it would be an advantage to any one . tobe able to speak the German 1-a"nguagc—I think it would be a -great advantage to me if I could do so—yc.t at the same time if I have to electbetween being able to sncaktbe German language at the expense of a THOROUGH EN'GI.ISI~I ‘EDUCATION, and the latter alone, I could not ‘hesitate a mo- inent which I would give up. It is claimed, this evening, by one gelltleinan that because the stildy has been introduced, therefore we should continue , it, as it must be a wise measure, or a former Board would not have included German in the coul-se of study. Well, while to claim that our legisla- tion will not be as severely criticised in the future aswc are willing‘ -to criticise the legislation of the past would be unsafe, yet I would be sorry indeed to take the whole legislation of this Board for the ‘last ten years as the guide for my actlbn in the fioarci at the -present time. Therefore, there is notllillg in otthat position. In the days that are past the School Board were not compelled to be as carc- ful with regard to expenditures as we nowhere to be, for they hadthe -right to levy the entire tax for current expenses. They could also borrow money : and llley have left us a handsome legacyof $550,000, for which we have to raise money by levying an extra mill. ‘Thus have we to pay for the ext-rev - R334)-068 of the past. The proposition is made that the Germans, spill-eciating the advantage‘ of having their language taught, would be perfectly willing that the rate of taxation should be increased in order to provide the means, if necessary. While I have no doubt that-they are honest in that, yet some - of them must be assured that they I are pretty safe , for by reference to the Constitution you will find that we are liinitedto .a -levy of 4 mills on the dollar for current expenses, and that we have not the r-igllt to levy ll l.9.r.ge-r tax except under certain pro- visions, and I am not certain new whetliel-e.vc.n then that we can go much beyond the 4 -mills; but as to the current expenditures we are cemlinly limited to fourmllls. Stress is laid upon the petition of 40,000, said to be in favor of the reten- tion of Germa-il. Of course to have weight, that petition should only have the signatures of tho.e=,e who are voters, for otherwise it would logically be assumed that -out of the remaining «l(50,~000 people of St. Louis , A MUCH LARGER rE1‘1'.rIcN could be got up in favor of the abolition of Ger- man. But my objections 20 further than that - 1._ The position taken by the Germans in this matter. viz. , that a class of citizens by i'oaso.n of their numbers or political influence have R. riszll-t co demand the introduction of any special study or class-legislation , is one that I can not consent to recognize as ll principle that should govern us in the conduct of the public schools. I regard such a principle as -pernicious and di1=llg‘BI'OllS in the -.extreme, .establislling as it cer=lainly would a precedent for the introduction of anythiilg ‘how- ever -de'trimeiltal to the general public illt.ci'cst, that may be supported by any reasons‘-blc show of inﬂuence. 2. It is our duty to examine carefully -into the cohdii-ct of our sc'hoe=ls and to see that the course of study is so arrang‘-ed as to secure to all per- sons bctwcen the ages of six and twenty an op- portunity to procure the very -best education to fit them for the future duties of life in the very limited time that they have to attend scholol, and if -on examination we find that any particu- lar study not absolutely necessary is taken only by apart at thecxponse of the -others as regards time or money, it should -be +('liSO0*ntln’l.l'Od. This Iﬁnd to be the case with Germall. The expense and loss of va=lua.‘b1-c time -to those who study it, as well as those who do not, is ap- parent to any who will take an uoprejudilccd view of the qllsestioll 3. At this time, especially, we silo-llid eoono misc, when there are large numbers of children entitled to school privileges at our hands, whom we are compelled to turn away from our doors because we have not the means to expend in blli1.din-g ‘sllﬂicleilt school-houses, and compelling (‘«h'l5l'l.Il‘C‘ll to travel two and three miles lhroilgill the mud to schools. I deny the position taken by ‘ those who claim to represent ‘the Germans of tour city, allld I hold that they do not p—l'cpe’i-ly representthe best class of our Germ-all citizens; and I can not but believe that w-lien the excitement is over those who now oppose the abolition will regret the course they have taken. MR. ;RAssia:U=R proceeded to ma-kc t-he iigh tfor the Germans in the most ilnpassioncd speech of the llvljgllli. First of all he alluded to the fact that those gentlcnlcn who derive their lnfcrrllation as to the‘ failure of _G_l'Cl‘iI1:‘.'ll studies, from the best Geri-“nail cl.tlsens didn't know what they were talking about. The p~l-o-position that -the best German element was opposed to the reten- tion of German was astrang-e one. Who should know best-‘uie“elcmeut” referred to. ofvxliicsh no names were given, or the element rcpl'csel~l*cd by the eleven members of tllat Ilflflo-l‘l«.‘.lllly in the I-loard? The fact that Gerinall had bee-ll tullgllt in ourscllools successfully fol-glen years was it stronlr urguimsellt in its favor, and he -lvolllrl not . ‘pay the non-German members of the Board the equivocal compllin-em of saving that they had been blind to this fact. ' ‘if-he prose-nt opposition arose not from any fault in the wow};- iog of the schools. but from a public opinion luau-ufactured in connccii-c.r. with and growing: out of the rejection of the poll: ' tion for teaching Irish in the schools. It was not that those parties desired to have Irish taught; the motion was only made to u.‘l‘o~rd a nlreans of striking at the German. The -gentle- man from the First Ward (Mr. Stanton) had pleaded the necessity of economy. We EW1 3 l>l'e!ml"ole. "Whereas, economy is required, etc., tlierefore do away -with Gunman , kilzlclergarieu. music, drawiugaaiid what not. If theylooked at the i'io:ures they would see that in 1874 the Board had abonded and floating debt of $8§,l40. ‘Te-day the funded debt wmi$350.050 only, -and if you added to this the csltiilmted deficiency for the present year, or some $50.’000_, ,, -attention ofthe Board to the matter before. - members -sllo-uld «refrain from smoking‘.

Les 3 the Board adopt the same little economics that had ' been used all along, and the German could be kept ~ alllldo no harm, butgcod. , Mr. Ralssleurtheu referred to Mr. Glynn 3 re- marks as to the expense of German tuition, and stated that in the Everett School. in Mr. Glynn 8 ward, out of 837 pupils 406 . were re- ceiving books free as beimzilidigellt [aDP1al1S0]. while in the speaker's own word, in the Lyon School, outof999 scholars from a known. (16I'- . maudistrict, only seventy-five were indigent. [Applause] Hence the-iilferencc was fair that the German schol-are were not seekillp; any in- struction gratuitously. Referl-lngtc Mr. Canopies’ objection thatthe result of Gei°lilan.tlidt'iou did not justify the ex- pense, Mr. Rassieur said he could find dozens of All lo-Americans who had .l‘8ﬂ‘l'll6d to read,wi-lte « all speak intelligently the Germ n language so as to use it in bl.lsiness,in the public schools. He himself was an illustration in point. As to the alleged fact that the number of lﬁhol-‘l-1'8 studying German in the first year de- l creased for every year after, as -cited by Mr. Stanton. the speaker referred to the Supe.riiitcndent’s report, and showed that, ex- cept as to the third year, the decrease of pupils in German only kept pace with the decrease in the attendance of -the pzupilll themselves in all other studies, and the relluced attendance was not due, as Mr. Stanton suggested, to thestlldy , of German, seeing this study was purely an op- tlonalone. In conclusion, Mr. R.a.ssie.ur rebutted the asser- , tiontliat so much extra school-room was needed ‘ in certain wards, and asked Mr. Cllpplosif.-lie. could name any school, wile;-e one Gerlilali teach- er had only three or four pdpils. r Mr. Cupples named the Cote Brilliante School.

The Chair rcquested,as ladies’ wei~ep:l'escm:, to whom tobacco would not be agreeable, that the MR. 0"C()NNELL‘—SAID: Mr. President, I have no desire to occupy -the available time of this meeting veryl-ong. Mr. Cup- ples has gone over -lil15lB‘gl‘:Gf1l1i'.l; but, sir, in the language of a now defunct member of this Board, I would say in connection with this question that 131 would so'oner be right than to be _ School Director. Therefore Ishall vote tor the mihorit report. I have statistics here that no to prove ‘t at many have quit taking the German—-- 1 very-many, indeed. I sﬁnd 'l.h2t1’«‘VBr3’il8al‘l_V' 40.000 cllil_dl'e-ll who have been ta=l:l..ng German lea-.vc quit «taking it up to date, April 8, and .- to show you how they continue i-n that line , I would just-siln- ply read an answer to it circular that I sent, ‘ through the kindness of Mr. .Ha.l-ris,, to ' the Principal -of the Divoll School, . in reference to the study of Gerhl-a.n.. The answer to this circular stated that the lnumber of those who have studied Gerinan and dropped it was 146; the number that expect to drop it at the end of this year is 89. I have some 79, I think, in all, and they speak for themselves. I venture to make the statelneht here to-night that a very small prop ion of the Engllsliaspeakihg pupils iiow attcn lngour schools will take Gennau nextyear. Now, air, if this is -a true statement of facts, I fully agree with the gentleman from the '.l‘-wen iv- eighth Ward that these do not represent all the Germans of St. Lou'is,an-d while I am not a -German myself, I take pleasure in annonncillg he-re to-night that I do -represent the element that fully agrees with the remarks made by the gentleman from th-.e"1‘i.vcnty-eighth‘Ward. Itls-a fact, tlrltt can- not be dispu-te'd by any member of this Boa.-rd, that the results in German In our school AMOUNT TO SIMPLY NOTHING, so far-as the ch-ildrezn of Alnel-.+ca-n people are concerned. So fares the experience of m~y.own chi=ldrcn,wl=losrc attending the schools, goes, it has failed. N-ow, it may be stated that three ‘years is not sufficient time, but there ought to be a. ‘better showing than, as with my llsttlie girl, ‘taking her lesson and writing it on at slate, and knmviniz -ilethrina more -about it. She -can not tl'8ﬂS1a%'¢ one single ‘sentence. I find also -that my German neeighbors agree with me -on this, and many of them desire that their chil- dren should quit taking German.

Now, sir, the tes=tiino.nyo.f the educators of the Oily of St. Louis can be brought to prove this declaration.

This‘ is something which is, believe, also the fact. Much has been said about American- 17.1 ng th e Germans by my mg ‘EBB 'Ge.rmail .la.nguage in the schools.

FOR ways that are dark and tricks that are "vain the Bar Association is very peculiar. THE fee ﬁends are stirred to their pro- toundest depths. The Grand Jury will get after them next month, and stir them a little snore. KEEP it before the people, that the’ fee- ﬁends of St. Louis are now pocketing $200,000 per annum over and above their legal rates of compensation . ROSEY is a brilliant talker,but he can’t talk a section out of the City Charter and an- other out of the State Constitution. He must pay over those fees. IT is very hard to ﬁnd ‘a man who was an original supporter of the Scheme and Char- ter. They have nearly all gone to Texas, we suppose, to join Roper. THERE is too much talent in the Municipal Government of St. Louis. We want a cheap- er article of statesmanship, for instance, than that which Collector Rosenblatt furnishes. IN the Senate, yesterday, the bill compel- ling the Paciﬁc Railroads to establish a sink- ing fund for the payment of their indebted- ness to the Government was passed. This is a substantial defeat of the lobby, and a sub- stantial triumph for the people. ON the seventh page of to-day’s GLOBE- JDEMOCRAT we print an interesting letter from Hon. Isaac H. Sturgeon on the subject of the Texas Paciﬁc Railroad, accompanied by a letter from Mr. Seligman, the New York banker, on the same subject. The views ex- pressed are those heretofore advocated by us -——that the pending bill will be of no real value to St. Louis unless it shall recognize St. Louis as its eastern terminus. AFTER a highly interesting abd exceedingly ‘lengthy discussion last night, the School Board adopted the majority report of its committee, in favor of German in the public schools. This was not unexpected, and it is not to be taken as a reﬂection of theviews of the people of St. Louis. The vote was 16 to 11, with Prof. Woodward and the President of the Board, Mr. Richeson, voting with the majority. Had these two gentlemen voted the other way, as their constituents will vote when they get a chance, the result would have been 14 to 13. One-third of the Board will go out of ofﬁce next October, and in the election of their successors the question will, we believe, he settled deﬁnitely in favor of economy and reform. THE news from the East this morning is still of a more paciﬁc tendency, although the Russians are fortifying some of their positions in the neighborhood of Constantinople, and have occupied the whole line of the Danube as far as the Servian borders. The latter movement has the two-fold intention of re- taining her strong grasp upon Roumania and holding a force ready to meet any Austrian advance. This, at ﬁrst sight, looks warlike, but the more Russia has cause to fear any concerted action between Austria and En- gland the more ready will she be to yield to the concessions demanded and the sugges- tions of Prince Bismarck, who now seems to be assiimiug in more earnest something ap- proaching to the role of a mediator between the rival Powers. The chances of a Turke- Russian alliance, if indeed there ever were any, are visibly dimiliisliins. WHEN twenty-ﬁve women and children and eighteen men, one of them a dangerous luna- tic, and all the remainder unable to help themselves, are conﬁned in such a ﬁre-trap as the Poor House in Steuben County, New York, some such a catastrophe as that which happened on Monday last is naturally to be expected. The facts, indeed, disclose such guilty negligence that the county officials themselves are deeply incriminated, and should be promptly put upon their trial. These unfortunate people, whose only offense was their poverty, were housed in a wretched building with locked doors and‘no suﬁicient precautions to provide for their safety. From the upper rooms in which the women were company sets forth that the bridge was, at the time of the passage of «the act, nearly completed; that the sum of all deaths. The guilt of those by whom this terrible destruction of life was incurred is intensiﬁed by the fact that for the security of these 140 paupers there was no ﬁre appa- ratus;whatever—not even ajnight watchman- and that the nearest Fire Department was two miles off, at Bath, and failed to turn out. The frequency of similar calamities during late years has been appalling, but it is not ant circumstances have been so shocking to humanity as this, and the only hope that re- mains is that the Coroner’s Jury, which is now sitting, will not weakly shrink from their duty in ﬁxing the responsibility upon the proper parties . ' OUR CITY GOVERN MEN '1‘. Every da_v’s developments emphasize the charges we have made against the faults in our present system of local government. The chief of these is that there is an almost total lack of responsibility in the administra- tion of affairs. Each oﬂicial says very freely that he is willing to be held responsible for his acts, but when any wrong is pointed out, it invariably appears that nobody is to blame. Inquirers are always invited to ask somebody else. Cleared of all hair-splitting and nice distinctions of- law, it is quite certain that all power of importance is vested in the Mayor and a majority of the Council. If these eight ‘men league together they can manage as they please, and there is no check upon them. Yet the Mayor wishes it understood that he is not to blame for any freaks of the District Assessors, although he appoints them, and prominent members of the Council declare that they can not. inaugurate any change in our present miserable system of street im- provements. Certain officials are withheld- ing vast amounts of fees collected in their ca- pacity of city oﬂicers, and nobody is respon- sible for it, because a minor oﬂicer, the City Counselor, has given an opinion that the city can not compel a settlement for commissions allowed by the State. The odd feature of this is not that officials should pocket all the fees they can with safety, for the whole history of government shows that “ ’tis their nature to,” but that the opinion of a mere City Attorney should be held so sacred. The decision of a lower Court is subject to appeal and review bya higher Court, and why should not the say-so of a corporation counsel be subjected to a similar test? Is there any doubt in the mind of any sane citizen of St;Louis that it was the intention when fat salaries were given to each of our officials that the fees to be collected by them should be paid over to the treasury? Is not their pay large enough, and if it is not why do they not re- sign? The Mayor and the Comptroller and members of the local Assembly declare that the whole fee system is an outrage upon the rights of the people, but what are they going to do about it? They all admit that the mac- adam system of paving our streets is a costly failure, but nobody is responsible,- and no change is promised. Now, if the contractors ruled the city this would be easily under- stood, but they do not; for have we not placed all power in the hands of eight men, and are they not all eager to promote economy and to secure a just administration of affairs? But they are not responsible. If we had moved back into the Dark Ages, when ghouls and goblins continually worked against the de- sires of good men and patriots like these, we could understand how, in a struggle, the right is always vanquished. We could then follow the advice of the Mayor, and ‘ ‘place the responsibility where it belongs,” But the hard common sense of the people of to- day is apt to conclude that, when things go wrong, men are to blame, and it is not odd that they hold those in power responsible for the bad that is done and the good left un- done. There are some among our numerous offl- cials who, to still the clamor that grows daily and threatens to shorten their expensive use- lessuess, cry out that nothing must be said aloud, lest it may injure the public credit.‘ The public credit is far dearer to the hearts of the people than the fee-ﬁends dream. It will be sustained even in spite of its worst enemies, and if we were to go in search of its enemies we should not avoid the City Hall. The truth never does harm but when itis suppressed. The credit of too many cities and States has beenldestroyed by irresponsible and lawless oﬁicials for men to be frightened by a cunning dodge on the part of those who only wish to retain power. It is because the people are determined to have an _honest and economical administration and to uphold the good name of the city that they demand better conduct on the part of their servants. UN OLE SAM WINS. The Celebrated Newport and Cincinnati Bridge Ca-so Decided. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. CINCINNATI, April 9.--Judge Baxter, of the United States Circuit Court, to-day rendered judgment for the Government in the celebrated Newport and Cincinnati Bridge case. The suit _was brought over four years ago under the pro- visions of the act of Congress of March 3, 1871, which required the Bridge Company not to proceed in the erection of bridge unless the channel span should be 100 feet in the clear above low water mark, and unless constructed under plans submitted by the company to the Secretary of War for his approval. and also pro- vidine that the company,after making the changes required by_ the act, might _ ﬁle a bill in equity against the United States in the Circuit Court of the Southern District of Ohio. To this end the act conferred upon the Court jurisdiction to determine first whether the bridge, according to the plans on which it had progressed up to the passage of the not. had been construct- ed so as to substantially comply with theprovisions of the laws which were applicable; and secondly. the liability of the United States, if any there be, to the company by reason of the changes required by the act. The bill ﬁled by the of $807,435 04 had been expended, and that it was being constructed in all respects in conform- ity with the laws then in force. as a draw- bridtrc, at a height of seventy feet above low-water mark, and that the cost of changes made necessary by the act of 1871 in excess of the cost. according to the plan proposed before the act, was $557,450 48, for which sum the Bridge Company asks a decree against the United States. THE Canadian House of Commons yesterdav. rejected the resolution to_ impose a duty upon ﬂour and wheat imported into Canada. The vote easy to remember one in which all the attend-' BOSEY’S RACKET. What Collector Rosenblatt Thinks of the Condition of Things. He Makes an Eloquent Defense of His Omcial Conduct. Other Fee I-‘lends Also Explain Them- selves on the All-Absorbing Topic. /Interviews With Several Prominent Ci Oﬁloials. . I The interview with Mayor Overstols, published in the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT yesterday, and the dis- affection of people who feel that their property has been unfairly assessed, made it rather lively around the various city buildings, and the army of oﬂicials were on the sharp look-out for report- ers. Where would lightning strike next? and how could the Mayor talk so of other oﬂlcers? were the questions most frequently asked. With its well-known desire to see fairplay, the GLOBE- DEMOCRAT sent its representatives abroad to glean the latest news astir concerning the differ- ences between the various city officials, and to learn, if possible, why i-t is that certain of them retain fees and other compensation greatly in ex- cess of the salary allowed them under the plain meaning of the Charter, if that document can be said to possess a plain meaning. In the course of their investigation they found on every hand signs of growing dissatisfaction with a system of city government that permits such abuses. The general feeling is that in these hard times salaries ranging from $3,000 to 35,000 are quitclarge enough for city officials, and that THOSE HIGH-TONED GENTLEMEN who cannot live at such figures had better re- sign or be “ﬁred out.” There was another ele- ment whose voicc was for peace. These men were generally the friends of those in office. Their souls were deeply troubled because any such questions should be raised ‘ ‘at this time.” It is amost remarkable fact that whenever any effort to reform city abuses in city government is made these. men discover that “this is the wrong time.” They seem quite forgetful that we only live in the present; no reform can be made in the future. For all practical purposes there is no such thing as the future. The wrong is done in the present, and in the present it must be righted. ‘ Mr. M. A. Rosenblatt, the City Collector, fell an early victim to the re- porter’: ambition for an interview. It is an act of simple justice to Mr. Roscnblatt to say that he impresses a stranger as a man of remarkable ability. He is a natural orator and can make speeches by the hour. Quick, keen and clever, he can perform a rhetorical waltz around an un- pleasant topic so easily and to successfully that it is almost impossible to get any information out of him unless he is very willing to impart it. The fa- mous Heller, of prestidigitatorial fame, can not more successfully perform what looks like an im- possibility than Mr. Roaenblatt can dodge an unpleasant question while pouring forth a ﬂood of valuable information on some other sub- ject. He was somewhat warmed up by a perusal of the Mayor's interview when he bade the press man welcome, and there was ﬁne sarcasm in his tone and manner as he said in reply to the ques- tion, "How is the arch-fee ﬁend this morning?” "Oh, excellent; never was better.” "What do you think of the Mayor's inter- view?” "Now, I’d like to know are you the man that intelrviewed the Mayor yesterday?’ ’ " es. ’ “And did he speak of a danger that this city could be driven into bankruptcy by attacks in the press?” _ ' ‘Certainly. The Great Religious Daily never lies.” "Well. I'll be d--d if that doesn't beat all! What could he be thinking of? Doesn't he know that the city has on deposit in its Treasury to-day $600,000 in cash, free of all incumbrancc? Does that look like bankruptcy? Why. all the papers on earth couldn't bankrupt the City of St. Louis. I'm surprised that Mayor Ovcrstolz should have expressed himself as he did concerning Mr.Pow- era, the President of the Board of Assessors. And he complimented the remarkable competen- cy of Mr. Green, the immediate predecessor of Mr. Powers? Well, that is very good. The May- or says that be has nothing to do with assess- ments. 1 should like to know who but him ap- points the District Assessors?’ ’ ' ‘I want to ask you about the fees of your office. You are charged with collecting and keeping large amounts of fees of one kind and another, and if you have no objection, the public would like to know their AGGREGATE FOR A YEAR." "Your paper has been attacking me for some time. I can not tell your motives. All I have to was 28 yeas, 148 nays. say is that I have not kept a cent of money not allowed me under the laws . This includes moneys of all kinds, whether in the shape of taxes, salary, fees. or compensation of any kind. You go on recklessly stating that my income is be- tween $50,000 and $70,000 a year. Now if Mr. Adreon, the Comptroller, intimated any such ﬁgures as those, he must be a d—d fool, for there is no truth in the statement.” "How much do you get, then?” "Not much.” ' “How much?” ‘ ‘Do you want to take Mr. Campbell's system of figuring it up? You have been doing so.” "Tell it yourself, if you please?’ ’ "I don't propose to do so.” "You get a salary of $5,000 from the city, and all your clerks are paid by the city besides?” “Yes.” “Don’t you claim a salary of $5,000 in addition from the State?’ ' "No, sir.” "Nor an allowance of that amount?” . ‘NO. “Mr. Adreon says you make such a claim in your sworn statement of fees collected as ﬁled with him.” ' ‘He's wrong." ‘ ‘What is right. ’ ’ “Under the State law I am compelled to keep out 55,000 of the $10,800 of State licenses collected by me. But I don't intend to keep it for my own at all. I will obey the law. The State Auditor asked me to wait in making this settlement till the General Assembly meets. That is the reason why I have not turned this money over yet. ’ ’ “?Ypu haven't turned over any of the $10,800 et y "No, but I will when the time comes." “You have received some $15,000 in fees or commissions on $700,000 of delinquent taxes col- lected by you during the past six months. You get gr per cent for all such collections?’ ’ I 6 es’! "Do you regard that money as your own?” ' ‘THE LAW ALLows IT TO ME. ’ ’ "You don't mean to pay that over to any- body?” ' . » "I will not take one cent of money that is not legally mine. ’ ’ , “Mr. Adreon said, in his interview yesterday, that the notary appointed by you takes in about $15,000 in his fees annually, What have you to say to that?’ ’ ° ‘That it is entirely untrue.” “How much does he take in?” "Why, don't you take Mr. Adreon’s word or Mr. Campbell's for it?” “ Does he collect $15,000 a year?” seN0.H ' ‘Does he collect $l2.000?” "No, he doesn’t; nor $11,000, nor $10,000, nor $9,000, nor $8,000; no, nor $7,000. ” "Well, about how much?” “About $7.000.” "Then, Mr. Adreon is all wrong?” ' ‘You can judge for yourself. ' ’ "How much do you allow the notary for his work?” "I don't wish to be rude, but 1 will not answer such questions.’ ’ “Wou1dn’t $3,000 be a big price for his ser- vices?” “Why, sometimes I have to use two notaries. I had to send one in the country yesterday, and that is very expensive. There are a great many expenses and risks about this office thzitpeople don't know anything about. The city won’t pay my expenses. I have to employ an attorney of my own, and that costs a 200..-(1 deal . ” ‘ ‘Don’t you make a charge of $1 25 on each dc- scriptlon of property which is delinquent on taxes, in addition to the 10 per cent allowed for atloruey’s services, and are there not some 18.000 Of that particular class of tlcscripiions?’ ’ ‘ ‘I make nothing out of that. The money goes to the man who looks up the titles and the at- l.(;l'I1ey’8, and they do not make -anything out o it.’ “ ldn't you get $4,000 for making out,tlic de- linquent tax-book last year?” “It cost me $5.000 and 9. good deal of the money I can never collect. That enterprise was so -bad a one that I refused to do it this year, and m clerks took the job and did it at night. They make nothing, and will not do it next year. The work does not properly belong in this oﬁice. ” “If you get $5,000 from the citv,$5,o00 from the State. $15,000 for commission on delinquent taxes collected in six months.$I0,000 to $12_ooo from the notary. and $4,000 for making out the delinquent tax-book, will not your yearly income amount to more than $40,000?” “Why don't you go on and make it $100,000? Its just as easy.” " Well, how much do you get in addition to your salary of $5.000?’ ’ Mr. Roaenblatt here indulged in some faultless French,which, tranalatedmieant: That is none of your business. - ‘ ‘You do get more than $5,000 a year." "Yes, I do.” “Are you aware that there is a provision of the City Charter which declares that no oﬁcer shall receive fees of his salary?‘ "Show ltto me." The reporter read from page 65 01 till Oh"?-01' as follows: "Provided, That the salary of no oﬁlcer shall be changed during the term for which he is elected or appointed. and 50“ 0' other emcer receiving a salary shall receive any fees or other com sensation for his services.” "Woll,” said r. Rosenblstt. ‘ ‘l-hit 00°53’? to‘u‘cvl:’ me.” m if 6 mild on continue in this 0 cs V011 W 1'6 to receive go more than your salary of $5.000 ?’7 "I would not.” “Don’t you think that when you were elected the men who voted for you understood that you would be satisfied with $5,000 a year?’’ ::No, I think not." Whv, isn't that enough?” “Because the duties of running the eﬁlce are severe, theexpenscs are large, and the iisk is Rreat. Look at the bonds 1 must give! My bond 01 $600,000 would be worth $3.500.00_0 in the Uni‘ ted States Circuit Court. Now. ml’ 10001110 WW be $7.000, and that is very small.” “You have a private attorney. Doesn't. the city employ counsel for your guidance?" ‘ '_I prefer the advice of my own attorney in most matters. By the way, why don't you ask some questions of the Financial Committee of the city? The Mayor and Comptroller, and I be- lieve the Treasurer, form that committee. If I were Treasurer I'd have something to say in that committee.” "What is the whole amount of money to be collected by tax and license‘ fees of'all kinds for 311 Purposes in St. Louis for the coming year?” “About $6,100,000. That includes municipal, State, school and interest revenue. ” ‘ The Mayor claims that the assessed valuation 91 D1‘0perty‘in this city is less under the assess- inept of 1877 than under that of 1876. Do you agree with him?” “I think he must be mistaken. The total as- sessed value of real and personal property under the State levy for 1876 was $181,345,560. In 1877 it was $182,484,300. But to this last sum should be added about $4,000,000 for manufacturers’ per- sonal taxes. A few other items make the real in- crease about $7.000,000.” - "The Mayor and Comptroller claim that the rate of taxation has been reduced some 62% cents on $100. How does that strike you?’ ’ ‘ ‘I would like to see how they’ ﬁgure it. I can not see that the rate will be reduced more than ten centson $100.” ' ‘ ‘What do you think of the Charter?” “Not much.’ ’ "How do you stand on macadam?” ~“I’m against it.” Clos_ing, Mr. Rosenblatt gave a brief history of his official life. It is unquestiqncd that he has made an excellent Collector, and he would be most satisfactory to everybody if he didn’t split hairs so fine in construing the laws that give him fees and perquisites. pr other compensation in excess An Obliging and Loquacious _()iIici-al. The next oilicial whom the reporter called up- on was one of those retiring natures whicl1,whilc ever willing to oblige, invaiiably decline doing so, if the doing involves bringing the name of the obliging party into publicity. Thus it was not until the reporter had taken an iron-clad oath never to reveal the name of his informer that the latter consented to impart, for the public good, what he knew of the dark and devious ways of the money-grabbing fee-ﬁend. When he did consent, however, he entered into the sub- ject with interest, and at once proceeded to tell all he knew about it. The following conversation ensued: Reporter. What I want to get at. now that I see we hold a common opinion in regard to the necessity of removing the fee ﬁend from around the tax-payer's neck, is, how can his abolition be accomplished? Obliging-Party. Well, now,thatinvolves ale- gal question. I expect you had better go and lil- terview the City Counselor on that point. The reporter informed the official that he had visited that office, and found that Mr. Lcvcrct Bell was absent on account of a family uﬂliction , while his assistant, Mr. Withrow, in the absence of the head of the office, did not like to commit himself on the subject.‘ Obliging Party. Well, in that case, 1 will see whatl can do for you. Ihavc looked into the legal aspect of the case and think that there is it remedy- I can show it to you right here. The official selected a yellow-covered book from is number of others, opened it, and in a few moments selected the passage which he desired to submit to the reporter. It was a copy of the Constitution of the State of Missouri, and the selection chosen was the thirteenth section of the fiighth chapter of the same. which runs as fol- ows: "Fees generally—quarterly returns. The fees of no executive or ministerial omcer of any coun- ty or municipality, exclusive of the salaries actually paid to the necessary deputies, shall exceed the sum of $l0.000 for any one year. Every such officer shall make return quarterly to the County Court of all fees by him received. and of the salaries by him actually paid to his deputies or assistants, stating the same in detail, and verifying the same by his aﬁidavit; and for any statement or omis- sion in such return contrary to truth, such officer shall be liable to the penalties of willful and cor- rupt perjury.” Reporter. How many of the fee-ﬁends does this interesting little section cover?’ ’ Obliglng Party. It covers the cases of the City Collector, WHOSE INCOME FROM FEES ._~the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT of this morning made a very good guess at; the City Marshal, whose sal- ary and fees probably come to just a little over the limit; the City Register and the Sheriﬂ‘. But. . if I am not mistaken, the City Marshal, Mason, pays over all his fees to the Comptroller. Reporter. How on earth do they get round this section? Obliging Party. They -rclv upon a number of points. I will only mention one, however, as it is the only one worthy of consideration. hold that St. Louis is not a county; that it is a municipality, and that while they are city officials as far as their purely city duties are concerned, they are quasi State officers in regard to certain other of H131)‘ duties. — Reporter. Is this position tenable? Obliging Party. No; there was a decision in a. case-1 forget the name oi‘ the cuse—bnt never mind; the decision of the Court was to the eﬁ‘ec t that, since the operation of the Scheme and Char- ter, the City of St. Louis must be considered, in the eve of the law, to be practically a county. Rep. That seems to settle me point. Oblzging Party, Yes, but the question then arises, inasmuch as the Clerk of the County Court used to receive the quarterly returns of executive or ministerial olliccrs, who was to be its succes- sor in the matter. Rep. How has this been settled? Obliging Party. Atzcordlng to an opinion issued by the present City Law Department, it seems to rest in the City Register as the successor, since the Scheme and Charter, of the County Clerk. Reporter. Are these returns made to the City Register? Obliging Party. Mr. Walsh and see. are there, THERE Is A LITTLE MATTER you had better look into--a little something that has never been fully shown up, but which will make some fun when it is. Reporter. What is that? Obliging Party. It is one of the finest examples in the world of how the law can be made to suit party purposes. When you are in the City Regis- tcr’s oﬁlce ask him fora copy of City Counselor Fari'ish’s opinion, which allows him to keep the fees of his oflice. Then when you have got through with it, call over at Marshal Mason's oﬂlcc and ask him fora copy of the City Counsel- or’s opinion which forbids him to keep the fees of his oﬁice. Reporter. How is that? Both officials stand in the same light, do they not, as far as the right to ice is concerned? Obliging Party. Of course; that’s where the joke comes in. You just go over to those cﬁices and see if it ain't just as I tell yeti. When you see the Register, ask him, too, if he is the proper person to receive those quarterly reports, and if he says yes, ﬁnd out whether they come in pipmptly. Reporter. Yes; but before I go I would like to hear a little more about the fee business. What I wish you would call upon And, by the bye, while you - is?the general feeling among oﬁicials in regard to it Obliging Party. Well, we old-timers, to tell the truth, don't like to see the GLOBE-DEMO- CRAT stirring things up so lively. That's candid, ain’t it? We’re alraid it may do harm to the city. But take a moral ground to stand on and the thing is quite right. In fact, some of us are sui'pris.ed that the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT hadn’t turned the thing up before. Reporter. It can't accomplish everything at on Ce. Then they are all willing to acknowledge th at the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT has unearthed an evil? Oblli-ring Partv. Yes; there’s no doubt about that. '1‘iiey’re very glad, too, in some respects. Thcway tile Old-timers look at it is this: They think that the salaries of the oﬁioials, when they are worthy of ﬁlling the position, are cut :00 low by the Scheme and Charter. and if the fees of a good man swell his income up to a moderate sum, say $5,000 or $10,000, they do not object; but in the cases of the City Collector, City Regis- ter and Slieriﬁ‘, whose incomes are absolutely enormous, they think that the ice system has be- come an abuse which ought to be checked. Do you know that this fee business makes a man ter- ribly greedy? Reporter. I have no doubt of it. Obliging Party. _It is not alone their share of the county fees which they grab for, but they try to swell their income as much as possible out of the fees of parties whom they tire out of calling for them. There's a great deal more money in this than outsiders have any idea of. Reporter. How is this done? Obligiug Party. The modus operandi is simple enough. Say, _for instance, that the Clerk of a Court wants to increase his revenue. THE BULK on THE FEES which are supposed to pass through his hands, but which all do not get through, are In gmau sums of a couple, or three or ﬁve dollars, for at- tendance as witness or jurynian. In the case where a witness’ or jui-yman’s fees foot up any. thing like a decent amount, say $20 or 330, 1,3 .1. ways gets paid jast_as soon as the costs of the suit are settled by the liable pom. The unfortunate fellow, l§0W0V8l'. ‘H10 but a trifle to collect, is blandl! rﬁlllested to call again, When he does so he is ‘tum’ you mrw FJI%IF»&:-vwanmW%w~vw‘mmy:-nw-- av--u-r ._,..,.,.,....,........--v ».»»—-c.».....»........- . .

They‘ < \_ ‘ this form of expression. that the costs in that case haven't been paid yet, and he had better look around after a while. When he makes his second appearance be is probably informed that the Clerk don't know any- thing about it; that he has no time to look it up just then, but that if the witness will only call again—and so on, unless the fee-seeker is a ‘men of Ncmean nerve and cast-iron cheek, he will become ashamed of calling around so often and giving so much trouble about a triﬂe and will let the fee rest. When he does so it is taken care of for him. There is a great deal of money made in this way. This is,of course,foreign to the legal aspect of the question the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT is ventilating, but it tends to show the extraor- dinary greed which is developed in the average fee-ﬁend. Having hidden farewell to the Oliliglng Party, the reporter called, as advised, at the office of the City Register, who, in response to his query, told him that he did not consider himself as the successor of the County Clerk in the matter of the_ reception of the quarterly returns of the executive or ministerial officials of the city. Fur- ' ther conversation followed. and when the ques- tion of Mr. Farisli’s opinion , authorizing him to keep fees collected by him as a quasi State official, was touched u on , he at once produced a copy of the opinion. ot onl this, but at the request of the_rcporter he vcrv indly had one of his sub- ordinates make out a copy of the same, which he gave the reporter, who placed it in his breast pocket and bled with the same over to the ethos of the City Marshal. Marshal Mason . Mr. Mason was found, as usual, attending closclyto business, and when the reporter hinted that he had called to have a talk with him upon fee matters, the naturally serious, not to say as- cetic expression of his countenance, deepened. The reporter saw that something was up, but be- fore he made any inquiries on the subject he pro- duced Mr. Farlsh’s opinion in the behalf of the City Register and asked the City Marshal whether he had not also received an opinion of like im- port. Mr. Mason stated that he had received ‘an opinion on the snipe subject from Mr. Farish. but that its import was not at all like; in fact, it was verv unlike. “Well,” queried the reporter, “ on have as strong claims to be considered a quasi tate oillcer as the City Register, haven't you ?” “A great deal more so. I have seven Courts to run , and a great part of their business is State business. The Criminal Court is A PURELY STATE COURT, for instance.” ‘ ‘So It is; and'yet Mr. Farish decided that you had no right to any of your fees?’ ’ “Yes, sir.” “Let me have a copy of that opinion, will you?” _ ° ‘I would with pleasure ,_ but I don’t know where it is. — I have mislaid it somewhere; but go to the Comptroller, he will let you see the orig- inal. ’ “How do_ you think Mr. Farish came to make sucb?:’a’ distinction between you and the City Reg- later The City Marshal looked troubled in mind, but said nothing. “Let me see, you are a Republican,ain’t you?’ ’ "Yes, sir.” “And Mr. Walsh is a Democrat?” “Yes, ‘I'm a Republican and Mr. Walsh is a Democrat.” This was all the Marshal said, but if the tone in ' which he said it, and the quiet smile which played about his clear cut and expressive mouth as he said it, did not insinuate more than the words actually said, then the reporter must have been _ mistaken. “Then,” said the reporter, "while the City Register has been enjoying his fees ad libitum, you have been obliged to get along as you best could on a simple salary. ’ ’ "Well, not exactly. though at the same time I have to complain of an injustice done me by the Comptroller, in classing me, in the interview pub- lished in this morning's GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, with those feed i.-ilicials who have made no return at all to the city.” , . ‘ ‘That's unjust, is it?” “Quite so. When I ﬁrst took this oliice the ql1CSLlOll of the fees troubled me a good deal. I felt that I had a right to some of tliem,but not to all, as I felt I might to pay some of the expenses of the oﬁicc. When I have anything like that on inv mind I don’t go talking to everybody about it. I just talked on the subject to two other people- my good lady. and Capt. GI-iﬁith, my Secretary. _I knew it wasn’t right of me to get all the fees; if I did take them the money wouldn't do me any good, anyhow. That kind of money don't do anybody any good. So, in August last, I made an offer to the Comptroller that I should pay office expense at the rate of $216 66 a month, and should retain the balance of the fees. The Comp- troller did not accept the offer until November, and though I was notlegally bound to do so,I paid the amount for the three months back as well as for November. ’ ’ “Then this arrangement is still in force be- tween you and the Comptroller?” The Marshal answered in the aﬁirmative, and, in proof of the fact, PRODUCED THE COMPTROLI.ER'S RECEIPT for the March payment, as follows: "Amount due the City of St. Louis under a voluntary agreement of Isaac M. Mason with E. L. Adreon, for salary to be refunded on account of State fees: Amount due for March, $216 66.” “This makes,” said the City Marshal, "the sum of $2,600 that I refund in a year. I have al- ready paid in the sum of $1,733 28.” “Why don’t the C0mptl'0lleI' make some simi- ‘ lar arrangement with the other officials who col- lect qua.-i State fees?’ ’ "The Compii-oller can tell you better about that than I can. ” - So the reporter thought, and leaving the Four Courts building, he ngziin betook himself to the Cli._\‘ Hall. where he called iitthe olllcc of the Comptroller, and besoiiglit of him an interview, pref.u:ing- his request with a hint that he ii-id ex ccc<.lIii:.=.'ly interesting topics. upon ivliich he sought to be enlightened. The Coniptroller seemed a llltle out of sorts. 1‘he acciistoined placid calm which usually sets serenely upon his classic and intellectual brow was conspicuous from its absence, and in its place pertur- bation of spirit was painfully apparent. ~Tlic Comptroller politely but firmly declined to be in- tervieweil. The reporter saw that to push his point prove unavailing, and contented himself with requesting the privilege of glancing over that portion of the civic archives in which City Coim- S(‘l()l'F&il‘l8ll explained that a Republican City Marshal was not entitled to quasi State fees equally with a Democratic City Register. He was unsuccessful. The Comptroller stated that noth- ing in the world would please him more than Cllllszillg ilic GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, but that for the sake of-—Well in the interest of avoiding a con- troversy, he thought it would be best for him not to show the reporter the opinion of Counselor Farieh just then. The reporter ii-ied persuasion, but it was of no avail; he could get neither the interview nor the intcicsiing opinion. . Mr. Tlios. J. Henley was boiling ever with indignation when the re- porter discovered him glowering at the candid sayings of the Mayor, in the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT. “ What do you think of the Mayor’s interview, Mr. Henley?” _ “What d<7I think of it? I think Mr. Overstolz is the campaignest liar in St. Louis." Mr. I-Ienlev dldn’t actually say ‘ ‘campaignest,” but the character of this paper makes it prefer The reporter tried to soothe the irate Henley, and ﬁnally got him so molliﬁed that he talked quite gently. He could tell a grca_t deal about the adoption of the Char- ter. lie said, morethan almost anybody else, but the time was not ripe. “'1‘l_ierc is an inner his- tory, ” hr. said, ‘ ‘and when it does come out some people that carry high heads now had better stand from under.” "What has become of Roper?" ‘ ‘Now._vou necdn’.t try to get through it yet; it's no use. I have heard that Roper is running a bank in Texas,” and Mr. Henley laughed loud and long at something. ‘ ‘Who can tell the whole story?” “Why . _ Shultz? Mr. Madill might find out several things, if he would. But you mustn't try to make me talk now. I don't want to make trouble. I have writtena card in reply to what the Mayor said, winch I hope you will publish.” The reply~runs as follows: To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat: In an interview that your reporter had with Mayor Henry Overstolz 111 your paper to-day, wherein he makes the statement that “Henley is sore because I refused to appoint him to oﬁicc on the grounds of his unﬁtness,” I admit that I am unﬁt to hold an ethos, viewing it from his standpoillt.

DE BAR’S OPERA HOUSE. Another large and fashionable audience wit- nessed Joe Emmct’s inimitable pcrsenation of F-rizz last night. Emmet is the father of the stage Dutchman; he commenced studying it when he was a little telegraph messenger boy in this city, practicing at the same time on the mouth liar- monicon. After serving through the war of the rebellion as a di-umm'er boy he took to the stage, and became a song-and-dance Dutchman at Mor- ris & W1-'lson’s Opera House, on Fifth street. He has been improving ever since and is now al- most perfect in his specialty. The boxing scene is one of the best things in the play. The songs are good, and the piece is full of fun. _ Madame Modjeska, Countess Bozenta, will _ap-_ pear at De Bar’s next ll/Ionday.She plays Camille, Adrienne, and other part.-s,and in these two char- acters is unequaled. She dresses magniﬁcently, and is a ﬁnished lady upon the stage as well as in private life. In the play of Camille she wears live different dresses. They are all fourrcaux, ﬁtting the ﬁgure in such a manner as to make the wearing of either crinolinc or a bustle utterly im- possible. Still thev fit easily; the waist is not pinched and the hips can move with grace, al- though well deﬁned by the clinging draperies- The first dress worn in the first act,is a composite evediulz costume, of a sky-blue silk and invisible green velvet of so dark a shade as to appear black when not seen through an opera glass. _It is_ a fourreaux, though simulating a blue silk slip, worn under acorsage and train of velvet. The skirt is not tied back, but cut in such a manner as to make it cling close to. the person. Instead of a tablier on the front, there are four shirred frills I‘[lt1Illll,‘,_" straight down, from the waist to the b0l.lOl'll of the skirt. or rather to where they disappear under the ﬂounces, one ﬁve inches deep, headed by three, about two inches in depth, each overlapping the other. The Corsage is very 1ow,squar_e back and front, sleeve- less, and upheld with shoulder-straps of white tulle ruching; the same rucliing runs across the front and back of the Corsage. The velvet forms a habit corsage in front, simulating a. dress coat falling over a lattice work of velvet in the shape of a Louis Quatorze waistcoat. Viewed from the front, the effect of the over garment of velvct_is that of a gentleman's swallow-tail coat; but in the back it forms a long and _gi-accfully rounded train, edged on the sides with shells of heavy chinch lace, and out into castellated points at the bottom, falling over the shirrcd ruﬁies on the train silk slip. THE 0LYMPIC—JOHN M'CULLOUGH., Othello was the attraction at the Olympic last evening, with John McCullough in the title role. A handsomer specimen of the brown and stalwart Moorish soldier never trod the boards. His ﬁne physique, deep and powerful voice and majestic bearing litlhim peculiarly for one of the most dif- ﬁcult of Sliakspeai-e’s characters. In it Mr. Mc- Cullough has won much of his fame. He is thor- oiighly familiar with all its ﬁnest meanings, and no ﬂaw can be picked in his presentation. The speech lothe "potent, grave and reverend seig- niors” was a marvel of ﬁne elocutionary expres- siou, without a trace of the self-consciousness which so commonly crops out in its rendering even by the best actors. In the scene in which his jealousy is ﬁrst awakened by Iago, and through those in which he struggles, ilgonizes and yields to the demon power, he carried his audience to the splendid climax of woe which marked the over- throw of love. He was repeatedly interrupted by applause, and at the close ogthc act was present- ed with a beautiful basket of ﬂowers. The closing scene was very ﬁne. The support could not have been much Worse. Neither nature nor art ever did anything to make I-an Iago of Mr. Whiting. He possesses .no fitness for [the part. The Cassia of Mr. Rand was almost bad enough to be artistic. Miss Chase made it fair Desdemona, and Miss Wren was pass- ably good as E-melia. To-night King Lear will be given. THEATRE COMIQUE. The artists playing this week at the Pine street house are among the best in the country. Harris and Carroll are great in their camp meeting hymns and plantation specialties, and in their rapid changes from white to black are truly won- dcrful. Sbeelian and Jones are also inimitable in their burlesque wrestling match, and Morris and Fields, the Dutch specialists, are not far behind Joe Emmet. The bill for to-night is a. capital one. and the matinee to-day will be crowded. WONG CHIN FOO, the Chinese missionary. whose lecture at the Olympic last Sunday afternoon afforded so much instruction and amusement to the audience, has been requested to preach another sermon to the heathen of St. Louis on Sunday next. He is a man of ﬁne education and extensive information, and speaks English as ﬂuently as a native of Boston . He will enlighten our people in regard to the manners, customs and religious belief of his countrymen. about which the outside barba- rians are wofully ignorant. The lecture will be worth attending, and several of the clergy of the city willbe invited to be present. Fruit Prospects in Ohio. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.

Suspicion that He’ Met a Violent End aj — Franklin. ‘ Five Boys Arrested, But All Released-Goronei-\ Inquest to be Held This Morning. On last Saturday night, at half-past 9 o'clock, Dave Adams, a railroad brakeman employed on the Missouri Paciﬁc Railroad, was killed under the most mysterious cir. cumstances at Pacific City, also known as Franklin, thirty-seven miles from St. Louis. Adams was running on Conductor Dimick’s freight train, which was following freight train No. 27, in charge of John Ryan. When the body was discovered the lower limbs had been run over by several cars, there was a large contusion on the side of the head, and the neck was broken. It was known that Adams had got down oil‘ the train at Paciﬁc to couple cars or do something of that nature, and it is possible that he met his death by an accident. Little circumstances that the railroad people are in possession of incline them to ‘the belief that Adams met his death at the hands of some tramps or thieves, in return for harsh treat- ment received by them from him. On Mondav night and yesterday morning, Oﬂicer McMahon , acting in conjunction with Gen. John Bull, of t 6 Missouri Paciﬁc Auditor’s office, arrested ﬁve boys who live on Jefferson avenue in the vicinity of the railroad yards upon suspicion of having a. hand in the death of Adams. Their names are Thomas O’Hare, Philip Laherty, Wm. Laherty, Geo. Barnct and Edward Green. They range in age from seventeen to nineteen years. THE CIRCUMSTANCES which led to their arrest were as follows: These boys and others, it is asserted, have given the railroad people much annoyance by get- ting into freight cars and stealing rides into the coiintry._ Within the past few months the Missouri Paciﬁc Company have suf- . fered greatly from the depredations of freight car burglars. «scale have been broken all along the line foradistance of ﬁfty miles out of the city, and goods to considerable value stolen. These thefts have been attributed to tramps and professional thieves from St. Louis. The annoyance has become so great that the railroad men have. of late, waged unrelent- ing war upon tramps and all others found trespassing upon the company's property. On Saturday night week Adams, the dead brake- inan .discovered when at Kirkwood the boys whose names are mentioned above stealing a ride to Paciﬁc in an empty freight car. He ejected them from the train, and there was considerable harsh language passed upon both sides. Thcboys managed to beat their way back to St. Louis,and during the following week several of - them were heard to make threats of getting even with Adams, who was known to them. On Saturday night last three boys stole their way to Franklin in a car on John Ryan's train. They were detected at Franklin, and landed. One of them asked whether Dimmick’s crew was on that train and was toldjno-that they were on the train fol- lowing. They then walked off, and, so far as learned by the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT reporter, were not seen again. WHEN ADAMS’ MANGLED BODY was found on the track, it was ickcd 1,1 and brought to St. Louis on Sun ay n;it°:__ _ . at first taken to his late boa1'din’:‘§i*ir3‘~: P. Murrel’a undertaking establishment, on Market street, near Fourteenth, where it now lies. It is thought that Coroner Auler will hold an inquest upon it this morning, as the members of both Ryan's and Dimmick’s crews will be in the city. and from their united testimony the mystery surrounding the death may be solved. Capt. Lee, acting Chief of Police, yesterday examined separately each of the ﬂvc youthful prisoners. Thev all told the saino story: That they were working boys: that on Saturday nights they were in the habit of stealing rides on freight trains out to Pacific, Kirkwood _or other towns, and going into the woods, build acamp fire and spend a night and aday in the woods. They all denied having seen Adams last Saturday night. After-_ lis- tcning to their storeis Capt. Lee and Sergeant Chapman consulted together, and agreeing that there was nothing in the testimony to hand in any way connecting the prisoners with the crime, they were released from custody. The railroad people still cling to their theory of foul play, and are deporting themselves with an ~ air of mystery that would augur the most sensa- tional developmcnts within a very few days. On Monday morning, at 8 o'clock, Frank 1.’. Parkcr,Va brakeman on the Missouri Paciﬁc Rail- road, was knocked from his train by a bridge and killed. ‘ Parker was employed on Conductor Frost's train, which reached Bonnat’s Mills, 113 miles from St. Louis, at 8 o'clock in the morning, and, when approaching - this place, was or- dered out upon the train to put on the brakes and hold the train in check on the steep grade at this point. In swinging out of the caboose to climb to the top of the car he was caught by . the side of the bridge and hurled down between the cross ties into the creek below. The train was immediately stopped. but poor Parker was almost instantly killed. His left shoulder was broken, his spine fractured. and his left hip crushed. The deceased was aged twenty-ﬁve years, and has relatives in Abingdon. Illinois, to where the body was sent. Parker is well known in St. Louis. He had been on the road for four years. ACCIDENTS. .

INDEPENDENCE. 140., April 9.—A bov by the name of Cracraft,son of the engineer of Whitlngs was fatally injured in the establishment a few days since. He was in the act of sliding a large perpendicular shaft which runs the machinery in the upper part of the building, while it was in motion, and his coat became wrapped around the shaft, and wound one of his arms around it until it was broken and torn completely of! above the elbow. By the turning of the shaft his feet and legs were ' beaten against some barrels until they were mashed to a perfect jelly. lullammation set in the maimed arm, and it was necessary to unjoint it at the shoulder blade. His head was also terribly bruised, and his body was so tightly wrapped in his clothing that life was almost squeezed out of him. He is yet alive, though there are no hopes of his recovery.

LONDON, April 9.—-The Times issued a special edition to-night containing the full text of Prince Gortscliakoil"s reply to Lord Salisbury’:-i circular dispatch . Prince Gortschakell‘ contests Lord Sal- iebury’s assertions point by point; but the gener- al tone of his reply appears to be conciliatory. He denies that the treaty of San Stefano cre- ates a strong Slav State under control of Russia, and declares that arrangements. relative’ to Bulgaria are only a development of principle established by the Constantinople Conference. He continues: “Lord Salisbury admits that a return to programme of that Con- ference in pure and simple is rendered impossi- ble by the war. The fact that the San Stefano treaty is preliminary indicates that Russia has not pi-ejudged deﬁnitive results. and has left room for an ulterior understanding. ria will be under Russian control ‘no more than Roumanic, which also owes its existence to Russia. Russia is'quite ready to abridge the terin of occupation of Bulgaria as much as possible. The limits of Bulgaria have only been indicated in general terms in accord- ance with the nationality of the population. The details will be left to a mixed Commission. The onlyobject in assigning ports to Bulgaria is to as- Iist her commercial development, by which England and the Mediterra - nian powers. whose commerce has always been a powerful lever for their polit- ical influence, are likely to proﬁt far more than Russia.” Prince Gortschakoﬁ‘ expresses surprise. at objections to stipulations of the treaty relative to Thessaly and Epirns. By the modest reforms stipulated for, it is intended to avoid. appearance of either establishing Russian supremacy on the one hand, or utterly neglecting Greeks on the other. Russia did not forbid the Porto to consult the European Powers as well as Russia on reforms for the Greek provinces . There is no longer any pretext for debarring Russia from the possession of Bessarabia.as the freedom of the Danube is secured by international com- mission. Prince GOrtsehakoff’s tone in regard to Armenia is much more energetic. He says Batoum is far from being etluivalent to the pecuniary indemnity which it represents. The Russian acquisitions in Armenia have only adefeiisive value. Russia wishes to hold them so as not to have to besiege them at the beginning of each war. These territorial cessious are the natural consequence of the war." If England wished to avert them she had only to join Russia in exercising pressure upon the Poi-tc, which would probably have compelled it to grant reforms without war. England having /refused to do so, she has now no ground to ques- tion a right for which Russia has shed her blood, namely, the right to establish a state of things which will henceforth render such sacrifices unnecessary, or at leastiess onerous. The assertion that Russia’s annexaiions in Armenia will interfere with the European trade with Persia conflicts with the statements previously made by the British Minis- ters. Such assertions push mistrust to extremes The complaints concerning indemnity are equally ill-founded. The sum is out of all proportion to Russia's sacriﬁces. In deferment of payment of the indemnity, it is easier to see a design to keep the Ports up to its engagements in the intereetof all than a design to paralyze 'I‘urkey,but there is no remedy against suspicion. Prince Gortschakcff says in conclusion: "The situation may be summed up thus: existing trea- ties liave been successively infringed by the Ports in violating its obligations towards Christians, and by the Powers, in interfering in behalf of the Christians. Lord Salisbury himself re- cognizes that great changos arc neces- sary in treaties hitherto regulating, the East. It remains for Lord Salisbury to say how he would reconcile these treaties and recognize the rights of Great Britain and other Powers with benevolent ends, to which the united action of Europe has always been di- rected, and the attainment of which one learns with pleasure the British Government desires, namely, good government, peace and liberty_ for oppreseed populations. It is equally for the Marquis of Salisbury to say how he could attain the desired'end outside the preliminaries of San Stefano, and yet at the same time take due ac- count of the rights Russia -has acquired by the sacriﬁces she has borne alone. Lord Salisbury’s dispatch contains no reply to these questions. It seems that entire liberty of ap- preciation and action would have been more nat- urally found by formulating, side by side with the objections contained in that dispatch, some practical propositions of a nature to assure an understanding for the solution of present dim cult-ics. ‘ ~ THE ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. LONDON, April 9.—In the House of Commons to-night the debate on the address to the Queen, in reply to her recent message, was continued. i.AwsON’s AMENDMENT BFJECTED. Sir Wilfred Lawson, on behalf of the Radicals, moved the :unen.imont,of which he had previous- ly given notice, contesting the necessity of call- ing out the reserves. The amendment was re- jected--319 to 64. The Marquis of Hartingtoii, W. Forster and many other Liberals abstained from voting. Messrs. Gladstone and Bright sup- ported the “.'lm(3l‘.(l[llGl’lt.

TllE ADDRESS AGREED TO. . _Thc atlrirees was then agreed to without divi- lloli. ' THE DEBATE PRECEDING THE VOTE. LONDON, April 9.—Tue dc.-bate preceding the vote on the address in the House of Commons was long, but unimportant. The speakers in opposition to the address were principally Radi- cais,sucli as Joseph Chamberlain, Henry Richard and Jacob Bright. The Marquis of Hurting- ton ur,-.,eully appealed to Sir Wilfred Lawson to withdraw his amendment . as ill-timed and unnecessary. He said it was undesirable to multiply appearances of dif- fere ncc at the present moment. He would have had no hesitation in supporting the amendment, if he _believed calling out the reserves would commit the country to immediate war.Sir Stafford Norihcote replied in a moderate speech, strongly denying that the Government desired war. al- though if necessity arose he said they would not shrink from their duty. Sir Wilfred Lawson ro- fused to withdraw his amendment notwithstand- ing Lord Hartington’c appeal. RUSSIA CAN NOT BORROW. LONDON.

Prince Charles has notiﬁed the Russian Consul to the same effect. It is stated that Russia is about to relinquish the clause of the treaty guaranteeing tire passage of her army through Roumania. and will sendadelcgate to treat directly with the Roumanian Government on the. subject.

Aﬁlicted from Childhood, Suffers Truss Tor- ture--Hears of Dr. Sherman, Goes to Him --What His Treatment Has Done. ’ To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat: I was avictim of rupture for many years. in fact as far back as I can remember, and was compelled to use trusses all the time. from which I was greatly an- noyed. Fortunately. Mr. Henry Geiyhuser, of the South Market. strongly recommended me to go to Dr. J. A. Sherman, 5 South Fifth street, tell- ing me that he had been treated liar the doctor. and was entirely cured. owing Mr. Gelyhuser for marry years I was much gratified with the iiiforination he gave me. A few davs later I called on Dr. Sherman and obtained his treatment, whicli,I am most happy to say. completely restored me. To those who know nothing of Dr. S11crman’s method, I must say it is a cod thing. It enabled me to exercise freely and work iard during the time I was being cured without inconvenience. I give this information in hopes seine one afflicted may’ be bcneflted by it. I am clerk in the St. Louis ost Oﬂice, eastern case, Distributing Dcpartment., J. R. THOMPSON. DR. SHEB-i‘i[AN T0 INQUIRERS. His Time in St. Louis Limited. I am daily receiving letters and telegrams inquiring how much longer 1 will remain in St. Louis: if I can send my treatment; if patients must be present; what the charge is; I was too late last year—-you had left when I called; my brother was too late last time you were here ; will you be in St. Louis until the 15th of this month? etc., etc. Now, my answer to one and all is as follows: I can not say how much longer I will be here. My services are required in New York. Patients there want my_ personal attentioii——are not satisﬁed to receive my treatment through assistants. Treatment can not be sent with any certainty of success. Patients must be present to have the proper adaptation. Can’t say what the charge will be until I understand the case from an examination. To avoid coming too late, come at once. I am subject. to ‘leave at any time on three days’ notice. No one should be putting off from time to time, month to mouth. L fe is too short to be thus dallying. espe- cially when to be relieved of rupture is the object. Rupture is dangerous, vexatious and mortifying; a life--lax, mentally and pliysical1,v—a touch, as it were, of the ﬁnger of death, which young and old at times tremble under. and as often promise themselves an- other day shall not go by without providing them- selves protection from such dangers. and the means of comfort and cure.

Should Halve. ‘Che Completion of the A.~and P. Until it Shall Gon- neot With the Texas Paciﬁc. To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat: :51‘. Louis, April 5, 1878.-Anxious as all know I am for the construction of a competing line of railroad from the‘ Mississippi River to the Pacific coast, I must enter my solemn 'protest against the passage of any bill that does not provide for the completion of the Atlantic and Paciﬁc road to where it shall connect with the Texas and Paciﬁc, and from thence the two roads shall vir- tually merge into one strand trunk line to the Paciﬁc coast. St. Louis should not and can not be satisﬁed with anything less than this. We should make this known as our position , and re- fuse to be moved from it by any inﬂuence what- ever, _come from what source or in whatever form it may. If St. Louis ever permits a road to be built south of us to the Paciﬁc coast without some bill which provides for its construction at the same time providing for the contraction of the Atlantic and Paciﬁc to its junction with it, she will rue the day that she was lured into this folly-—into this injustice to herself. I know it is said that if branches are tacked on ‘to the Texas Pacific bill it will kill it, and there- fore St. Louis must yield and give up her conn-ec- tion for this reason . I do not admit that the argument against ‘tack- ing on branclies applies to St. Louis at all. The connection with St. Louis is not a branch, but is main trunk line, as much so as any part of the Texas and Pacific Road will be cast of the mad de- gree of longitude. You might with just as much ‘Droprlety call the Texas and Paciﬁc Road froizu Shreveport to the 103d degree of longitude -it branch, as to call the road from our city of half a million of people to the 10:-id degree of longitude a branch. When our National Convention met in St. Louis _in 1875 on this subject, it was agreed and under- stood that the Atlantic and Pacific Road was to surrender its c.ommon grant of lands and unite with the Texas-and Pacific Road, upon a bill that would provide equally per mile for both of these roads to the, 103d degree of longitude, and from this point on to the Paciﬁc coast, they were to form one grand trunk line to the Paciﬁc coast. Nothing could have been more clearly and ex- plicitly understood, and so it was set out fully in Cel.Seoi.t’s address to the Convention, and when Congress assembled a bill was introduced to carry out this understanding. St. Louis is ready to abide by this understand- ing, but she can never consent to a bill that pro- vides, that stipulates in it that a branch may be built from the Texas and Paciﬁc Road to reach the Mississippi River, to be located by commis- sions, provided it shall not come further North than Memphis. I look upon this provision as a downright insult to St. Louis and all that section of country east of St. Louis to the Alantic coast. Southern Illi- nois, Southern Indiana, Southern Ohio, Northern Kent.uck;. West Virginia, the northern part of old Virginia, the southern part of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, all have a like interest with St. Louis that the Atlantic and Paciﬁc Road should be as much a main trunk line road as the Texas and Paciﬁc, and should be content with iiotliing less, and I trust they will stand by St. Louis and Missouri upon this question .- Whilst no one can feel more deeply] than I do the importance of delivering our country from the griii_diu2:.. tyrannical Inonopcly,of the Central and Union Paciﬁc Roads, I am unwilling to do so at the expense ofjustice and fair-dealing to- wards my own city, that has labored for thirty ‘years fora central road to the Paciﬁc, and lost the vantage ground of her central position by rea- . son of the Southern States bein out of the Union when the road was located at maha, and now, when these States have returned they propose to fnﬁict the further injury by making a. southern section its location, and in the act limiting Mem- 3311:6118 the northern point to which the road may _I trust there may not be found one man in the Missouri d_ele_gat_ion who will vote for a bill with any such limitation in it. I regard such a propo- sition as an insult to Missouri, and it should re- ceive no countenance whatever from any quarter. ' Unless the Southern States are prepared to act justly and fairly by St. Louis and Missouri, and the country east of us as I‘ have named it, whose interests are identical with our own, we shoula set up for ourselves and see if we can not build to the Paciﬁc coast on the 35th parallel and allow the Texas and Paciﬁc road to reach up to us, and have all the rights of a main trunk lino instead of our reaching down to her. St. Louis has shown a wonderful ningnanimlty, which seems wholly unapprcciated, in consent- ing to give up the 35th paralled read and unite with the 32:} parallel road at the,l03d degree of lon- gitude; and if this liberal, generous,'self-sacri- ﬁcine! spirit on her part is not accepted, there is nothing left for her to do except to snake the ef- fort to build the 85th parallel road. Ami I trust, in such case, that a very different spirit will be manifested towards the 32d parallel line if it shall desire to surrender its grant and unite with the 35th parallel road and form one trunk line to the Paciﬁc coast. If such a contingency should arise, I would be in favor of granting the same aid per mile to the Texas and Paciﬁc road that should be granted to the 35th parallel line to the aim; of junction where the united roads should orn_i one trunk line to the Paciﬁc coast. MISBOPYS grea ‘Senator, Benton, labored too long fox/Cgreat entral Paciﬁc Road . and the people ofiiis State and city have sacriﬁced too much in following up his efforts to have them re- quited by the building of one road north of us and one south of us after our doing all the pre- liminary work to secure the building of any road. Immediately after the National Convention in 1849 our people, bv State, county and city aid, built the road to Kansas City, aud,‘witli a grant of land from Congress. State, city and county aid built the Southwest Branch of the Pacific, now the Atlantic and Paciﬁc, but at present more up- propriatolv named the St. Louis and San Fran- cisco Road, as it is destined to be. The great expenditure in the construction of these roads was made not alone to develop and accommodate the country through which they passed, but with the leading idea that one or the other would give to us a trunk line connection to the Paciﬁc coast, and we can not under the circumstances consent that our great sacriﬁces to accomplish this object shall be ignored and that our city of half a million of people and all the country east of us in this great central belt shall not be provided with a main trunk line connec- tion with any road which may be, built south of us as a competing line with the Central and Union Pacific roads, nor will 1 permit myself to believe that the southern Slates will upon ma- ture thought attempt or consent to put upon us any such great injustice. ‘but if they do, we owe to our own self-preservation‘ to resist it with all the power we can command. The country so sorely needs deliverance from the tyramcal exactions of the Central and Union Pacific Roads thatl trust nothing will occur to imperil the passage of a bill wlitcli shall do jus- tice to our city,the Central States and the South. If this spirit shall animate those who favor the building of a competing line to the Paciﬁc coast, then there can be no trouble. but if selﬁshness and a denial of justice shall animate those favor- ing the construction of the Texas and Paciﬁc Road, then the country may be delayed in its de- liverance from rates that could be less than one- lislf of what is charged to-day, the year in-which the competing road should be completed. The whole question as to whether we shall adopt a measure that will relieve the country hinges upon a willingness to do justice. I have contended in many articles, as you are aware, that justice and cquitv to the South and St. Louis, and the best interests of the country, demanded the construction of acempeting line to the Paciﬁc coast as fast as men and money could build it, but always with the understanding that any bill providing for the construction of such road was to include the completing of the line connecting St. Louis with the trunk line of such a road ; and this accomplished I am content, but not otherwise. It ts useless to say that the Iron Mountain and Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroausgive St. Louis two connections. The ﬁrst is at the east end of the line, and the other is net, will not and can not well be operated in the interest of St. Louis from its location. It is a Chicago line, and can not well be made anything else. Our true interests and our right demand the 35th parallel connection. We have proceeded all along upon this basis, and can not and will not consent to abandon it. With such a road constructed under the super- vision of able Commissioners, who should have a supervisory control over the snaking of all con- tracts and expenditures for the construction of the road with the view of having it constructed at the lowest possible cost, and with Government Directors to act in conjunction with the Directors of the company with the view of securing the joint interest of the stockholders and the Govern- ment, and with power reserved by Congress to control obsolutely for all time rates and to amend the laws relating to such company as time and experience might demonstrate that the public in- tenest demanded, the country would realize the grand aim of Col. Benton's life in regard to such a road, viz: A road built with the aid of the Gov- ernment for the people and for the public in- tenant, and not fora set of stock jobsers, stock gamblers and speculators. * ~ ,Wheu~thi-s is accomplished. the death-knell of lb!

J OS- SELIGMAN. CO1. Thos. H. Benton. _ Col. Thos. H-. Benton, _in the Senate, on the subject of at 1lal.l0l'l'al hi,¢.>;hway¥to the Paciﬁc, spoke as follows: Mr. President—I go for a national highway from the Mississippi to the Pacific. And I go against all schemes of individuals ‘or companies, and especially those who come here and ask of the Congress of the United States to give them- selves and their assigns the means of making it read and taxing the people for the-use of it. If they should make it, they are to tax us for the year for using the road which their own money bililt. A ﬁne scheme, that! But they would n_ever build it, neither themselves nor their as- signs. It would all _end in stock jobbing. I rg. piidiato the whole idea, sir. I go’ for at national higliway—no stock-jabbing. We ﬁnd all the localities oi‘ the country pre- cisely such as a national central road w id re- quire. The bay of San Francisco, the nest in the world, is the center of the western coast of North America; it is central, and without a rival. It will accommodate the commerce of that coast, both north and south, up to the ‘frozen regions and down to the torrid zone. It is central in that respect. The commerce of the broad Paciﬁc Ocean will center there. The commerce of Asia will center i iere. Follow the same latitude across the col ntry. and it strikes the center of the valley of the Mississippi. It strikes the Mis- sissippi near the conﬂuence of all the great waters which concentratein thovalley of the Mississippi. It comes to the center of the valley. It comes to St. Louis. Follow the prolongation of that cen- tral line, and you find it cutting the heart of the great States between the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Ocean. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and a part of Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania-— they are all traversed or touched by that great central line. . We own the country from sea to sea. from the Atlantic to the Paciﬁc. and upon a breadtli equal to the length of the Mississippi, and cmliriicing the whole temperate zone. Three l.hOus:ind miles across, and half the lircadtli is the uiaguiflcent parzillelo.<.rraiii of our domain. We can run a na- tional centrnl road tlirouali and through the whole distance, under our flag and under mil‘ laws. Military reasons require us to lllillii) it; for troops and iiiunltions must go tiieie. Politi- cal reasons require us to make it; it will be a chain of union between the Atlantic and Pacific States. "Comnieicizil i'<.-asoiis demand it from us; and here I touch it boundless field, dazzling and bewildering the imagination from its vastness and importance. The trade of the Pacific Ocean, of the we_stern_co.-ist of North America, and of east- ern Asia. will .all take this track; and not only for ourselves, but for posterity. Sir, in no instance has the great Asiatic trade failed to carry the nation or the people which possessed it-: to the highest pinnacle of wealth and power, and with it to the highest attaininents of letters, art and science. And so will it con- tinue to be. ‘An American road to India, thifougn the heart of our country, will revive upon its line all the wonders of which we have read, and The Western wilderness. from the Paciﬁc to the Mississippi, will spring into life un- der its touch. A long line of ‘cities will arrow up. Existing cities will take a new start. The static of the world calls for a new road to India, and it is our destiny to give it-—the last and greatest. Let us not up to the greatness of the occasion, and show ourselves worthy of the extraordinary circumstances in which we are placed, by secur- ing while we can an American road to India. cen- tral and national, for ourselves and our posterity,- now and liereafter, for thousands of years to come OSTERLOIPS ENCOND WIFE. A Former Marries a City ‘Woman, and ‘ is Deserted in a Week. Herman Osterloh ﬁled a petition yesterday ask- ing for a divorce from his wife Annie. Osterloh is an industrious farmer, living near Mount Olive. He had the misfortune to lose his wife. and for a time was inconsolable. He did not care to marry in a hurry, but found it absolutely necessary to have a women around to take care of the house. He came to the city, and, goiui: to an intelligence eiﬁce,instituted inquiries for a housekeeper. lie was introduced to a young woman who pleased him very much. She knew all about house- keeping, could cook i-ind wash and scrub, and feed pigs and chickens to perfection. Besides all these useful aoccmplishinenls, she was decidedly good. leoking——se good looking that the bereaved widower fell in love with her at first sight. He changed his mind in regard to second marriages, and, popping the question, was ac- cepted. The marriage ceremony was performed by a Justice of the Peace, and the happy 00llpl0 started for home on the nai-row-gauge railroad. They stopped at asuburban inn, intending to resume their journey early the next moi-hing. Osterloh complains that while at the inn, on their wedding night, his bride behaved improperly, and showed a very decided preference for an- other man. He made no fuss about it, however, although he felt bad, and installed the bride as mls-tressof his mansion and poultry yard, giving her the wartlrobe of the first Mrs. O. The new wife did not like country life, and in the course of is few days she bundled up some of the best dresses of her predecessor and put out for parts unknown. Then the deserted farmer resumed his opinion of second marriages. He could not understand why he had fallen in. love with the woman, who was so different from his ﬁrst wife. He thought she ought to have been satisﬁed with the comfortable home he gave her. and it could . only be the pornraityof woma.ii’s nature that in- duced her to actee strangely.

There was along argument in Court yesterday morning be- , fore Judge Treat. as to whether such a judgment was valid on its face, and whether or not the de- fendant could go behind it and discuss the actual merits of the suit.

The charge of rape which has for some time past been pending against Mr. John C.Vogel.was yesterday dismissed at the instigation of the pro- eecution. on the alleged ground of the insuffi- ciency of the indictment, but on the real ground of the insufficiency-indeed,the utter absence--of proof. Mr. Vogcl is an old and esteemed citizen of St..Louis. and among those who know him best there is not one who would believe him guilty of the gross charge brought against him.

The Seventh District Matter Again Presented to the Board of Equalization. A Lively Talk, During which President Powers De- ﬁnes His A.uthority—'1‘he Views of the Board and What lllay Be Expected. Thus saith the Board of Equalization to the tax- payers ef the Seventh District, or rather to their representatives. the Executive Committee: "We have not time to listen to your appeal. but we will do the best we cau—wo can promise no more!” What that "do the best we can” will he will only be developed about 11 o'clock Saturday night. Until then the tax-payers will have to meditation-—medltatien of the fact that they must, in all probability, have to pay an assessment which is doubtful legality, the only remaining regnedy being an appeal to the Courts. From an intimation by several of the Board, a reduction of 20 percent will perhaps be made; but as strongly and emphatically stated by the Executive Committee,this reduction will not meet the case, for the overassessniont is in no sense equal all round, it being 25 per cent on some property and 100 and 200 per cent on other prop- erty. Thc Executive Committee claim that there is only one way of giving satisfaction, and that is by reversing the valuation of 1877 altogether, and substituting therefor the valuation of 1876, which is the legal valuation for 1878. the tax-payers claim. But the Board of Equalization say that they are not authorized to so substitute the valua- tion, although they confess that they have the right to make any reduction which they think consistent with equalization all over the city. ANOTHER VISIT TO mu BOARD. At 10 O'clock sharp yesterday morning the special sub-committee waited upon the Board, according to appointment. On the part of the committee there were present, Joseph Branch (Chairman). and Messrs. Sheelian, Sic ker, Coz- zeiis and Hal in. All the members of he Board were on ban . Mr. Veitch appeared to be Chair- man, nominallymbut Mr. Pitzman seemed to be running the machine. With -his characteristic bluntness, Mr. Branch at once came down to business, without any for- mal introduction. He presumed the Board un- derstood the position of affairs as well as the com- mittee did. The taxpayers of the Seventh Dis- trict had a real grievance. and they wanted re- dress. Would the Board grant them that redress? The committee understood fully the posi- tion of the Board. It was recoznized that the city must have taxes, and that they must be paid promptly; and the citizens of the Seventh District did, as a body, pay their taxes promptly. But here was a gross outrage—an outrage which, as far as could he learned, had only fallen on one part of the city. viz.: that an increase in the assessment had been made of 75 to 100 per cent, and in some in- stances more. The tax-payers came to the Board as standing between them and the man Powers who had so illegally and outrageously Over- assessed their property. If a reduction was not mad c was pretty sure that the bulk of the taxe ould not be paid. cvcli though the prop- erty might be seized in lieu thereof; but the tax- payers would take every legal means to overturn this unjust assessment. ‘He said this in all kind- ness and frankness, for, as the Board, perhaps, knew, he had been a good citizen for thirty years, and had alwavs paid his taxes promptly. One piece of property for which he had _four or_ five years ago, when valuations were high, paid the fancy price of $12,000 was now assessed at $14,000. And he found the same thing all around in talking with his neigh- bors. The citizens hud a determined spirit in this matter. The committee had endeavored to keep politics out, and to conduct the protest in a business-like spirit. All that was asked for was justice. They had the power to grant them jus- tice; that's what they were appointed for. The Board could allay the present excitement, which would do much to injure the credit of the city. The committee were prepared to “answer any question that the Board might put to them. The committee desired, if pO8S1.’Jle, to do away with the necessity of holding the public meotingovhicli had been called for Wednesday night. He him- ~ mentarily. self was opposed to it. NR. Oozznivs desired to occupy the time and attention of the Board for a few moments. He and all the com- mittee appreciated the duties of the Board, duties rendered all the more onerous because the Presi- dent of the Board of Assessors (Mr. Powers) had failed to discharge the duties devolving upon his Office. By the City Charter, under which the Board were acting. Mr. Powers should have com- menced two months ago to rectify the mistakes in the assessments. But he had not done so, and how was it possible for the Board to crowd two months’ work into two weeks, and do justice to the appellants? Mr. Cozzeiis affirmed that he uiazie this statement based on what had fallen from Air. Powers’ own lips—that he had never changed the assessments, that he had not equal- ized them as made by the District Assessorto pl‘6D‘rt1'8 the work for the Board of Equalization, he claiming that it was not his duty to do so. IN His OWN DEFENSE. Mr. Powers. Because I had no authority. Mr. Cozzens. I believe-I have the floor. Mr. Powers (energetically), When you abuse the I have the right to a reply, and to stop you. Mr. Cozzens. I did not abuse you uuparlia- I appeal to the Court. Mr. Veitch. When you make a misstatement Mr. Powers has the right to correct you. Mr. Cozzeus (proceeding with his remarks). Under eeciion 18 of the City Charter, he contend- ed that Mr. Powers had the power to see that the assessments all over the city were equal. There were the nine Assessors, whose duty it was to give information to the Board, and they were not to be paid ulilll the Board adjourn. Yet the Assessors said that not one of them had been called before the Board. Mr. Pitzman stated that Mr.Bleeck had handed in a condensed final report. Mr. Cuzzens added that this report had been reﬁzctcd by Mr. Powers. r. Powers. Mr. Cozzens states that Ifailed to perform my duty because I did not equalize the assessment of the Seventh District with the assessment of the rest of the city. Why, if 1 had equalized the assessment of the property all round,would it not be necessary for me to change the valuation of the whole city, or of a large por- tion of it? Will the gentleman show me my au- thority for changing the valuation in any part of the city? Mr. Cozzcns. Yes, sir. “It shall be the duty (quoting) of the President of the Board’ ’—-of As- sessors, I presume,—“to su erihtend the work of the District Assessors an the assessment of the entire city.” Mr. Powers. That's not within my jurisdic- tion. Were I to change the valuation of your property from what it had been put down by the Assessor, I would be committing a grievous wrong. The section you quoted I admit inti- mates that I have the authority, but another sec- tion tells me that I have not. My duty is laid down clearly and in so many words; but the City Charter nowhere states that I have authority to alter valuations made by District Assessors. Mr. Veiich. This is not a proper place to dis- cuss that question. _ Mr. Branch . I am very sorry that it has come p0 Mr. Pitzman. I think it is due to Mr. Powers to say, that in the opinion of the Board his defini- tion of the law is correct. UNDER THE LAW, the power of appointing the District Assessors is taken away from the President of the Board of Assessors and lodged in another body, and they have to take an oath that they will make a true cash value of the property. While Mr. Powers, as President of the Board of Assessors, can ad- vise Lhe District Assessors, and even instruct them in certain matters, yet he has not the pew- er to change a single ﬁgure of their valuations. Mr. Bzanch. That’s not the question. We come to present a great grievance, and to ask a remedy at your hands-that's what we want. Mr. Powers. Will you allow me to say one '1 word more? I refused to accept the final report of Mr. Bleeck because it was not made in con- formity with law. I told him to make it in com- pliance with the law, and I would accept it. Mr. Pitxman's interruptions were frequent,and he undertook to show that a 20 per cent reduction would make the assessment of liir. Brancn’s property for 1878 even with that of 1877; but on figuring it out he found there was a difference of $3.000 against his caclulatlon, " Mr. Lionberger desired Mr. Branch to state at wliatﬁgurc be valued his property referred to. Mr.-Branch replied that his home was there and it was not a fair question to ask him at what be valued his homc;but he would be satisﬁed if it was taxed pi-oporiioiiate to other property in|l.l16 local- ity on a basis of cash sales. Mr. Clarke. we have been here three weeks, and we have spent one-half of our time on the Seventh District. Mr. Vcitch. Fully two-thirds. Mr. Clarke. We have taken plats and then the appeals. I appeal to the Board whetlfer if in nine out of ten of the cases brought up before us 20 per cent would not be a fair reduction, and would not meet all that is askod for in the ap- peal? Mr. Piizman. I think so. Mr. Clarke. We can not spend ten or ﬁfteen minutes over a little twenty-foot lot. when there Ere more important cases to come before the car . Mr. Veitch . We have been diligently trying to obtain information, so as to come to a correct conclusion. Mr. Clarke. It won’t do to pledge the Board to respond to the demands of any committee. We are trying to do our duty as far as we know how. . Mr. Branch. The Dl'¢V8ll11lZ opinion is that the assessments in the Seventh District have been raised from 75 to 100 per cent, while the assess- ments IN THE OTHER DISTRICTS have not been raised at all. All we want is to make our assessments equal to the assessments of the other parts of the city. = Mr. Clarke. That's what we’re trying to do. You are simply wasting your time and the time of the Board. We have work which will occupy us night and day all the week, and we have got to console themselves with chewing the end of. admittedly vastly excessive and OM W_A,._.__... \ St. Ennis Qsilp @1011:-@£l17ﬁl'1'iIl, wtbiteshapﬁlnrning, 331531110, 1878. make a report by 12 o'clock Saturday nixht - We want to do justice and you won't let us do it. Mr. Branch. That's not so. unequal assessments in the same block. In response to a question by Mr. Branch, Mr. Veitch said the committee could tell the citizens at the public mectlos to-night that the Board of Equalization would do their duty as best they knew liow—the Board could give no other an- swer. . Mr. Pitzman complained that the committee ad not presented their case in a tangible shape. Mr. Branch’ held that only the Board had sum- oicnt information to enable them to properly ad- just tho matter. But the majority of the tax- payers would be satisﬁed with nothing less than a reversal of the valuation of 1877. and an assess- ingnt for 1878 on the basis of the valuation of I e Mr. Veitcli , and all the Board in turn. held that they could not so alter the valuation. Their duty was not, they said, to act_ as a Board of Assess- ors, but see Board of Equalization, to equalize the assessments allover the city. There was a great deal more rambling talk, but the Board would give no more definite answer than they had already given. Mr. Veitch said that the Board did not wish to be discourteous, but they were really so pressed for time that—and the committee took the oft-re- pcatod hint, and left. _ MUNICIPALUASSEMBLY. .

How J udgo Treat Deals with Minor In- fractions of the Revenue Law. Benjamin Primrose is a potter, now a resident of Sullivan County, but formerly of Adair. Yes- terday morning he stood before Judge Treat and was told the information against him had two 00110“. 0316 10!‘ selling whisky by retail without a license, the other for selling tobacco in the same way. He pleaded guilty to the first charire but not to the second. He explained matters by say- ing that a man named Easton got him to stand good for a jug of whisky—-say a gallon and a half; that be contributed the crackers and cheese, and that in a wagon the twain started for an auction sale, The partner got tight, and so did some of his friends. Five or six drinks were sold bv the prisoner, and then the crowd put him out 0': the wagon and guzzled the rest of the whisky free. For which offense he was arrested in Sullivan County, and pleading guilty before the U. S. Commissioner at Kirlssvillo, was sent down here. Mr. Blise.who evidently wasn't anxious to con- vict the poor devil, said he would nolle the first count it the accused would plead guilty under the second. The Court explained to Primrose that a plea of guilty l.l|1d('l‘ll1C first count, meant thirty days in Jail and $100 fine at least, while the second count had much lighter penalties. Primrose accepted the situation, and pleaded guilty to the second count. As he hadn't any money, and as his wife was sick, having given birth to twins within ten days, and as Primrose looked honest, the Court merely fiucd him $10, to be collected on execution, which amount the de- fendant promised to raise and remit at once. Frank Sands and Henry Alihoﬁ’, both charged with similar offences, pleaded guilty, by direc- tion of the Court, to the tobacco count, and were nned$5and costs apiece.

I Sherman and the Syndicate---Whispers From Washington. 5 Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. WASHINGTON, D. 0., April 11.—The Republi- can Congressional Committee, though not composed of ardent admirers of the Adminis- tration, is considered as fairly representing the different elements of the Republican party. Secretary McCrary to-day, in speaking upon the political prospects and the attitude of the Administration before the country, said that he thought THE LESSON OF HOWE’S SPEECH whilst in a temper to stand much criticism of the Administration, are not disposed to be in- ﬁuenced by such attacks. He said that it should be clear to all Republicans that har- mony would alone accomplish the important results which were expected of the party in the approaching campaign; that it was particular- ly important that there should be a Republican majority in the next House of Representatives, and that, with proper activity, he could‘ not see why the Republicans should not succeed in overcoming the , DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY OF FOURTEEN now existing in that body. He said that he felt conﬁdent that there would be gains in _ohio, Indiana, Maryland and Pennsylvania. It was also anticipated Republicans would be able to carry certain districts in the South, and partic- ularly several in the State of Louisiana; that he believed the latter conclusion upon the exist- ence of the Commissioners’ law, which,ifprop- erly carried out, will insure a fair election. In answer to a question as to the course the Presi- dent might pursue in the event the Democrats in the South should interpose to prevent a fair election, he said the President would Do ALL THE LAW PERMITTED HIM to do to put down violence and insure a fair election. He added in addition to the fact of regaining Republican asccndency in the House, that he shared in the opinion of other members of the Administration, that the next President, in all probability, ' will be chosen by that body; that with the closeness of the vote of the two parties, and the probable diversion to other tickets, that it would be impossible to se- cure for any candidate a. majority of the whole electoral vote cast. He said that the Adminis- tration was Republican and had no desire to COMMIT ANY ACTS which would be contrary to the interests of the Republican party, but that members of a co- ordinate branch of the Government should not arrogate to themselves the right to dictate the course to be pursued by the Executive, as the latter was responsible to the country for his acts. In conclusion, he said that he had no doubt that when the subject came to be fully discussed that every thing would be arranged in harmony, so that the party might enter into the campaign without that bitterness of feeling which has heretofore cropped outinvarious ways. . G-oULi)’s GAME. The failure of the efforts of the friends of Gould and Huntington to refer the Senate sink- ing fund bill to the Judiciary Committee today is regarded by Senator Thurman as an indica- tion that the House will be equally decisive as the Senate in its action. The object of to-day’s movement on the part of Gould was to secure delay. Had the bill been referred, as attempt- ed, it could not have been reached for at least six weeks. It is proposed by the friends of the measure, at the ﬁrst opportunity, to go to the Speaker's table and take up the bill and pass it, believing that they have suffi- cient strength, the Paciﬁc Railroad Commit- tee having already agreed to it. The Senate committee with two dissenting votes,will throw their inﬂuence to prevent the measure from going to the Judiciary Committee. Gould and Huntington are determined if possible to in- corporate the Blaine amendment. THE BANKRUPT LAW. Leaders of both parties in the Senate are of opinion that the bankrupt law will be entirely repealed, save in cases pending. THE PENSION AGENTS. It is estimated that the action of the House,‘ to-day, in‘ establishing ﬁxed compensation and allowance to Pension Agents, will effect a sav- ing of $150,000 per annum. An effort will be made by the friends of the Agents to strike out this provision in the Senate, so as to restore the existing law. It is not likely that they will succeed, as the feeling has long been prevalent that the salaries of some of these Agents should be limited. WESTERN ARRIVALS . 5 Chas. P. Birge, Keokuk, 1a.; N. A. Bi-yson, wife and son, and Mrs. J. C. Miller, St. Louis. Sherman and the Syndicate. NEW YORK, April 11.-The conference at the Sub-Tre usury this aftei'noon,between Secretary Sherman and members of the late syndicate, resulted in the signing of a contract for the sale of $50,000,000 of 4% per cent bonds. The details of the negotiation, including the method of payment, are withheld in the oﬁicial statement of the transaction given out at the Sub-Treas- ury, and of which the following is a copy: The Secretary of the Treasury and members of the late syndicate have entered into an agreement for sale, for resumption purposes of United States 4}; ﬁfteen‘-year bonds, at par and accrued interest and 134 per cent premium in gold coin; $10,000,000 to be subscribed imme- diately, and $5,000,000 per month during the balance of the year. The sale of 4 per cent bonds will be continued by the Treasury De- partment as heretofore, upon the terms and conditions of the last circular, and the proceeds will be applied to the redemption of the 6 per cent 5-20 bonds. For the Relief of Settlers. WASHINGTON, D. C. , April 11.-—Mr. Plumb, in behalf of the Senate Committee on Public Lands, to-day reported a substitute for two bills heretofore ‘introduced by Messrs. Booth and Ingalls, for the relief of settlers on lands sup- posed to be within railroad grants, but after- wards thrown outside of double minimum limits by reason of changes of route, etc. The substi- tute provides that every re-emption settler, or his widow or children, i still in possession of the lands, shall be entitled to repayment of the difference between the price paid and the Gov- ernment minimum price of said land, provided that it would, if vacant at the ime of the application for repayment, be subject to sale or entry at a minium rate of $1 25 per acre. The bill also allows homestead , Mo. i would be suﬂicient to show that the people, of $50,000,000 - settlers who have been restricted to erg-my J l acres to enter an additional tract of eighty acres adjoining the land embraced in the orig- inal entry, or if they or their widows oror- phaned children so elect they may surrender the original entry for cancellation and there- upon be entitled to enter 160 acres under the homestead laws elsewhere without the pay- ment of additional fees, and their resi- dence and cultivation under the original entry shall be credited upon the new or additional entry, provided that in every case there shall b 1 r§q?iired before issuance of patent for second entry. It is also provided that the beneﬁts of this act shall not extend to persons who have sold or in any way attempted to alienate land embraced in their original entries, or to. any person who has attempted to alienate his_rights under the act of 1872 relative to additional homesteads for soldiers and sailors. The President and His Party. WASHINGTON, April 11.—The President does not seem the least disturbed by the action of the recent Republican caucuses. Those near- est him, socially and politically, say there is no probability whatever that he will, as requested by the resolution of Senator Sargent in the cou- cus last night, rescind the _order forbidding participation in political meetings of oﬁicials in the executive branch of the civil service, and these friends don’t think it probable that any such request will be made by the Congressional committees, though the may confer with the President in political a airs generally in view of the approaching election. They say the President never declines to l.isten attentively to suggestions, but when he makesup his mind as to the rightfulness of any motive he adheres to it. The Republicans in Congress, for_ the greater part, will endeavor to avoid a direct issue with the President, however _much ‘they disagree with him in some of his political measures. Capital Gossip. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 11.—The Senate Committee on Post Oﬁices and Post Roads au- thorize the nomination of Charles H. Eddy, as Postmaster at Toledo, to be reported favorably. RECOMMENDED FOR CONFIRMATION. The Senate Committee on Commerce agreed to recommend the conﬁrmation of Justin E. Colburn, United States Consul General at the City of Mexico. GEN. FITZJOHN PORTER ~ _ has applied to the President for the appoint- ment of a Board to reconsider his case, with particular reference to new testimony that could not be had on his ﬁrst trial-. The Presi- dent is considering what action he will take in the matter. THE FAMINE IN CHINA_._ In the Senate to-day Senator Mitchell re- sented the fol-lowing cablegram from the ni- ted States Consul atIl‘ieiitziii,Ch1iw.: ' ‘The fain- ine is spreading.

The Secretary of War has transmitted to_Sec- retary Schurz a copy of the report of Lieut. Col. Merriam, 2d Infantry, relative, to the cutting of timber on Government lands, near Coeur de Alene Lake, Idaho. This report states that depredations on a large scale are being made by parties who informed Lieut. Col. Mer- riam that they intended to cut and drive 300,000 feet of logs, and that they had no permit_ to take them from public lands. On reporting trespass to United States Land Agents at Low- iston, Idaho, the oﬁicer was informed no civil authority in the Territory was authorized to protect public lands frofn this wholesale pillage. In view of the fact that awood and timber reservation may be located so as to in- clude the depredated section, the report sa 's it is very important that immediate measures e taken by some authority to stop these opera- tions. MILITARY CHANGES. Col. Rufus Ingalls, Assistant Quartiermast-er General, United States Army, will be relieved from duty in the Military Division of the Pa- ciﬁc, and report to Lieutenant General com- manding the Division of the Missouri‘ to relieve Lieut.

M. Chotteau read a short address giving his well-known views upon the subject, and speeches were made by the gen- tlemen present expressive of hearty sympathy with the movement. No oﬁicial action was ta- ken and nothing done to give the meeting formal signiﬁcance. XLVTH CONGRESS . Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C. , April 11.-Mr. Dennis presented the Blair resolutions in regard to the Electoral Commission, and moved their refer- ence to the Judiciary Committee. In presenting the resolution Mr Dennis said: “Mr. President, if the Senate will bear with me a moment, I will explain my motion to this‘ resolution. There are no instructions coming to me from the Legislature of my State in re- gard to it. I am opposed to it. I shall act with ood faith. I voted for the appointment of the Flectoral Commission. and I will stand by the decision of that Commission. I feel in honor bound to sustain it; I feel that if I were to do otherwise I should be unworthy to a seat upon this ﬁoor. Moreover, I am sure that while reason holds her sway over the minds of our people, any attempt to reverse the decis- ion of that Commission will not succeed. I do not consider this Senate a suitable arena for the exercise of such power as the joint resolution which has Seen read would propose. Our peo- ple desire peace. We have had enough dis- turb ance throughout this land. No man within the conﬁnes of my State desires to witness a re- newal of such scenes as have been enacted with- in the last fourteen or ﬁfteen years. N 0 one can desire to see brothers weltering in brothers’ gore. We want unity, peace and concord and never, while I hold a position on this oor, shall there be any act of mine, the effect of which would be otherwise than to contribute and aid in bringing about fraternal accord be- tween every section of our country. Sir, we are one people, identiﬁed and bound together by all ties of re- lationship, and by every tie that can bind man to his fellow-man. Let those who died in that sanguinary strife rest in peace; let those who were baptized by the blood of that strife, and nuinbered among the dead, sleep in peace un- til the day of ﬁnal resurrection, when the arch- angel shall assemble uncoiiiited millions by the sound of his trumpet, and call upon the sea and all the earth to give up their dead. Sir, _we are united as a people in all and in ever ' respect; we are bound by bonds 0f1I‘01’1, and may say a network of nerves in telcgi'a_pli, so arranged that when you touch one point you touch the whole. Sir, to the Pa- ciﬁc Ocean 1 have sent one of my children, who is as_dea_.r to me as my own heart’s blood. His d_estiny is ﬁxed with the people in that growing, rich and populous country. While he sleeps by the gentle murmurs of the Pacific I in the noon-day sunshine almost am here, and shall labor to do whatever I can to promote the in- terest of that section in which his future des- tiny is ﬁxed, and of every section of our coin- mon country. ‘ In the presentation of this resolution I have performed a duty which the respect for the Legislature of my State demands,but believing that the interests of every section of our Union calls for acquiescence in the decision of the Electoral Coinniission, I feel constrained to state I shall deem it incumbent on me to ‘op- pose any action by this body in, furtherance of the intent of the 1‘eS0l_‘.}g1ons. 1 ask that the 301",‘ Tf3.3°1‘1‘51°n. be ‘ referred to the Committee on dl1(11Ci8.I"_V.

On motion of Mr. Morrill, the Senate took up and passed the bill to repair and put in opera- tion the Mint at New Orleans. During the mornin;.; hour Mr. Sargent called up his joint resolution on the Chinese question, and urged the necessity of restrictions upon Chinese immigration. Referred to the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs. The bill to remove the restrictions on the en- listment of colored men in the arm came up during the morning hour, and Mr. _ruce said the cdlored men wanted all color lines to be abolished, and to be clothed with all the rights of American citizens. They felt capable of paddling their own canoe. They asked no special legislation. - The bill went over without action. . At the expiration of the morning hour consid- eration was resumed of unﬁnished business, being the repeal of the bankrupt act. . Mr. Davis, of Illinois,_ favored amending the present law, if the Senate should reject the bill to re cal it, and said he was authorized to say that enator Edmunds took the same view. The bill was then laid aside. Mr. Eaton, of Connecticut, then called 11 the resolution of inquiry into the arrest of en]. Noyes, and detailed the circumstances as he understood them. _ _ After debate, Mr. Eaton’s resolution ,_ direct- ing the Judiciar Committee to inquire into the arrest of Benj. . oyes, insurance President, was agreed to, and the Senate proceeded to con- sider the deiiciency appropriation bill. Mr. Blaine explained the action of the Appro- priations Committee. A further amendment was adopted, increas- ing the amount for the Internal Revenue Bu- reau from $40,000 to $100,000. _ Amendment were also added to the bill as follows: Mr. Dorsey offered an amendment autlioriz- ing the Secretary of the Treasury to advance $75,000 for the purpose of schools in the District of Columbia, to be reimbursed out of any funds at disposal of District Commissioners not need- ed for actual expenses. After considerable discussion, the amend- ment was agreed to—-yeas 29, nays 22. The bill then passe . ' Mr. Windom, from the Committee of Confer- ence on the bill to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to employ tern orary clerks and for other purposes, explaine that the commit- tee had agreed upon all amendments except two, on which they had failed to _agree. The House had appropriated ‘ $6,500 for tempera clerks at $2 er day. The Senate had increase the sum to 20,000, and struck out the limita- tion. The conference had agreed to strike out_the limitation and let the amount stand at $6,500. The conference had also compromised by mak- ing the amount for horses,etc. ,fOr the Treasury Department $1,000. In relation to the ap ro- griation for the Land Office the amount iad een agreed on; $7,500 for miscellaneous pur- oses and $7,500 to detect depredations on tim- Ser lands; on items appropriating 0,000 for salaries and expenses of Collectors o_ Internal Revenue, and $20,000 for railway mail clerks, inserted by the Senate, the committee had not conference was ordered. .

On motion of Mr. Bailey, the bill for the re- lief of the Book Agent of the Methodist Church South was made a special order for Thursday next. Adjourned to Monday. House. Mr. Phel s oﬁered a resolution instructing the Judiciary ‘ommittee to inquire into the alleged violation of the personal liberty of Benjamin Noyes, a citizen of Connecticut. Adopted. Mr. Hartrid e asked leave to take from the Speaker’s tab e for reference the Senate bill in reference to the Pacific‘ Railroad, known as the Thurinan bill. Mr. Cox, of New York, objected, Rating that . at the expiration of the morning hour he would move to take the bill from the Speaker’s table for present consideration. . Mr. Con er, rising to a question of privilege, said that, rom the report of the speech made by Mr. Wood on the tariff bill, as published in the Record, there had been omitted the letter which that gentleman had read,as coming from a ﬁrm in Michigan, on the subject of tariff. Not only had that letter been omitted, but his (Mr. COnger’s) commentsupon it had also been sup- -pressed. That was a ﬂagrant violation of the rules of the House. Whether that omission had been occasioned by accident or design he did not know, but as soon as he could obtain the manuscript of that letter he would move to have it, together with his comments, placed in the proper place in the Record. _ - The House then went into Committee of the Whole, with Mr. Garﬁeldin the chair, on the pension appropriation bill. Messrs. Scales, Chittenden, Fort and Hewitt, of New York, advocated the bill, and Messis. Hanna, Foster, Thompson and O’Ncill opposed itO Mr. Hanna, replying to some remarks made by Messrs. Chittenden, Hewitt and Sparks to the effect that he opéiosed the bill because he (Hanna) was a frien of the Indianapolis Pen- dianapolis would be wronged and robbed by the passage of this bill. They would be robbed of their ittance by shrysters around Indianapo- lis and ashington. I‘he bill would be in the interest of the bankers and business men of New York, who hoped to have the .‘8,000,000 annually paid for pensions trans erred to depositories in New York. He had been accused of opposing the bill through mercenary nio- tives. Talk about mercenary motives, said lie, when this bill is to bring the $38,000,000 into the banks of New York, and is but another means of making the West and South tributa- ries to New York. He could find mercenary motives there if he desired. As to the remarks of the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Sparks) , he would not _deign to reply to anything so trifling. Mr. Sparks. tlenian refer? Hr. Hanna (not noticing the interruption), went on to criticise the Committee on A1) ro- priations because pursuiiigapeculiar policy, it had re used to made an appropriation for necessary clerks in the Surgeon General’s oﬁice, and now that committee pro- posed to subject the .200,000 pensioners to the same niggardl policy which prevented the administration 0 public justice. The gen- tleman from Illinois (Sparks) had attempted to raise party feeling on t iis question. God for- bid that the Democratic party, low as it was, should sink so low as to be controlled by party feeling in a question of this kind. [Laugh tori Mr. Sparks said that he had simply referre to the fact that the gentleman from To what remark does the gen- Indianapolis represented a pension agen- cy district, and was therefore natur- a ly prejudiced against the bill abol- ishing pension agencies. For saying that he li ad been attacked by the gentleman from In- diana (Hanna) like a Texas bull. [Laughteix] He denied having drawn politics into’ the de- bate, and therefore the statement made by the gentleman from Indiana to that effect was not warranted and was not a fact, and that was about the way to put it. [Lang-hter.] Mr. Chitt.enden,in reply to Mr. Hanna, stated that he had no more to do with the banks of New York than that gentleman——nQt a bit-—and every word, every syllable, every letter of his in regard to those banks was as applicable to that gentleman as to himself. In regard to the statement that this bill would rob pensioners, there was not a word of sense or truth in it. Mr. Hanna rose to repl ', but was interrupted by Mr. Sparks, who asks whether Mr. Haiina’s partner was not the Pension Agent at Indianap- olis. [Laugliter.] Mr. Hanna (excitedly) . I will answer that, sir; and I will say that my partner fought through the war from ﬁrst to last, and fought when you did not. [Laughton] Mr. Sparks (equally excited). I want ‘dis- tinctly to state that your law Ipartner is the Pension Agent at Indianapolis; know it, and I can prove it; ‘ ‘And t1iat’s wliat’s the matter with Hanna.” Elioud laughter and applause] Mr. Smith, 0 Pennsylvania. moved to iii- creased the amount appropriated for carrying tlcile bill into effect from $96,000 to $130,000. Adopt- e 0 Mr. Powers moved to strike out the section which cliangcs the mode of paying wen- sions and insertino‘ in lieu thereof a provision ﬁxing the salary OI g)()1lSlOll agents at $4,000 and alowing them fees or vouchers and actual ex- penses for rent, clerk hire etc. Mr. Fort offered a substitute transferring the duties of the pension bureau from the Interior Departnieiit to the War Department. Rejected. A vote was then taken on Mr. Powers’ amend- ment and it was agreed to-112 to 60. Mr. Marsh offered an amendment providing that Pension Agencies shall be ﬁlled by oﬁicers of the army and navy on the retired list, who are to receive their full pay while so employed. Mr. Butler. That is a good opportunity to make Gen. Shields :1. Pension Agent. Mr. Powers made the point of order that the amendment would cliarure the existing law, and was not in the interest 0 economy. The Chairman overruled the point of order, holding that the amendment was in the interest of economy. Mr. Foster inquired as to how these officers could giveobonds . MI‘. ltanuall (the Speaker) replied that oﬂicers were liable to be court martialed in case of de- falcation, and that their education and the life tenure of their commissions was the best boiid that could be given. The aniendment was rejected—-88 to 99. Mr. Rice offered a resolution that from and l afterJu1r. 1878. the omces of Pension Agents been able agree. The Senate insisted on its amendments in ie._.,-.. lation to the Collectors of Intern Revenue and railwayfmail clerks, and a new4 ~ PRIC shall be ﬁlled by wounded or disabled Union soldiers. - The amendment was adopted amid enthusi- astic applause and slioutsof laughter. '1‘he committee rose and reported the bill. The amendments were concurred in, and the bill passed. The House then went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Cox (N. Y.) in the Chair, on the Post Oﬁice a propriation bill. As soon as the bill was read ytitle, the committee again rose, and the House adjourned. Affairs at Anna.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, April 7.—This afternoon, at 3 o’clock, a correspondent of the GLOBE- DEMOCRAT had a short interview with William P. Longley, the notorious Texas desperado and murderer, who, according to his own ac- count, has killed and murdered thirty-two men at different times within the last seven years. The interview took place at the jail at Gal- veston, a strong and "substantial brick build- ing near the center of the city, and in one of the dungeons of the lower ﬂoor this noted character of the Southwest is now conﬁned under sentence of death. Although incarcerat- ed here, Longley was arrested, tried and con- demned in Lee County, Middle Texas, for the deliberate murder of a man while plowing in a ﬁeld, this being but one of the long list of victims which Longley, according to his own account, has planted. HIS SENTENCE AFFIRMED. _ Longley’s death verdict having been at- ﬁrmed by the Court of Appeals during the late session of that body at Galveston, nothing now remains to complete the stern demands of Jus- tice but the sentencing of the murderer, which will have to be done by the District Court of Lee County. The dungeon occupied by the rio- Oorious Texas man-killer is as dark and dismal . as any pictured in the pages of romance. A massive iron door from the rear opens into A corridor dimly light-ed by rusty iron gratings. At the farther end is the cell of the desperado the strong iron door of which is secured by massive locks, and whose walls are also mas- sive. At the sound of your footsteps, which fall on the brick pavement with an echo that almost startles you as well as the inmates of the neigh- boring cells, the indistinct outlines of a human figure, like an animal aroused in his lair,emer- ges from the gloom of the dungeon and ap- proaches the bars A DESCRIPTION OF LONG . It is Longlcy. He is rather inclined W’;--. slim, but well pro ortioned and not gaunt and “with a lean an hungry look,” as was Cas- sius. The first thing that strikes the beholder is the reall handsome physiognoiny of the Texas cut-throat. Scarcely yet in his twenty- fourth year, Longleyhas dark hair, worn rather long and slightly parted at the side; coal black whiskers and board that shade a fine olive com- plexion; a nose rather after the Greek model; teeth white and beautiful as a woman's; eyes black as inidniglit, that seem literally alive with expression, which their possessor seems little inclined to curb or suppress. He looks anything but the cool man-slayer who has undou tedly sent over thirty of his fellow-men to their long abodes. Upon the occasion referred to, Longley were much the same clothes as when ﬁrst incar- cerated--a dark cashmere coat.‘_ coarse hickory shirt, pants of some diirkmatci-1:11, and a istol belt, which the officers have allowed him to retain from the murdering outﬁt he used to wear. A TALK WITH THE DESPERADO. Since he was condemned the Jailor has had orders to allow no stranger to approach the prisoner. A G LOEE-DEMOCRAT correspondent, iowever, succeeded in being admittedto see him, and the following conversation ensued: Correspoiideiit. How are you, Longley? I have heard so much of you that I have come to see you. ' Longlcy. That is all right. (sinilin g) . . Cor. 1 must tell you beforehand that I have come to make up a newspaper articlepff on. May be on don't want any more said a out you in t ie papers? Longlcy. Oh, I don’t care much what they say. ‘hey’ve said now about all they could. it don’t matter. Cor. I have myself written a good deal about on. 3 Longlcy. Yes, butl don’t know that your paper ha:-3 said anything against me. Cor. Well, you have not, from your looks, become down-hearted, owing to the serious turn in your case. Longley (smiling). Oh, I never allow myself to get so under any circumstaiiecs. Glad to see you Cor. Have you anything to say IN REGARD TO YOUR FATE? Longlcy. This much: that I haven’t had a fair trial; no trial at all, in fact. They were all my enemies. ’ Cor. If the worst comes to the worst 1‘ suppo so you don’t care much. I shouldn't think that a man like you, who has “planfed" and killed thirty-two men, would be much afraid to die? Longlcy. (llere the despcrado looked down and, e -'cing the corres oiident keenly, said: No; I on’t like to die, ut if I have to die I'm not afraid to.” The interview was interrupted by the entrance of the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. , who gave Longley a number of tracts, sang a hymn, prayed, and, after l'etLdill°" a portion 0 the third cliapter of Luke, made an exliortation to the prisoner. Durinrr the religious services the condemned dcsperado leaned his forehead on his left hand against the grating, apparently in deep ineditatioii, at the same time regarding the CXh()l‘t.0l‘ with deep attention. GOOD-BY TO THE 1)ESPERADO. After the Secretary had taken his departure, Longley asked the correspondent to approach the grating and have a further chat with him. A few words only iassed, when the _tnrnkey, presenting hiinscli, intimated the interview must come to an end. “Good-by, Longley,” said the correspond- ent. “Good-by, sir," replied the condemned man, Offering his hand tlirougli the liars. . The correspondent took and shook it, ‘saying, ‘ ‘We may meet again, ’ ’ at the sa_.me time re- gardiii the desperado with a sigiiiﬁcaiit glance tliatiniglitliave been equivaleiit to filling out the sentence with “in the sliadow of the gal- lows at Giddings, Lee County. ’ ’ Another Train Robbery in Texas.

[From the San Francisco Chronicle-.] The news of the death of Mark Hopkins came upon the community yesterday with painful suddeniiess. It was known to many that Mr. Hopkins wasnot in the best of health, and that he had taken a Southern trip under medical advice, but he was not considered in a critical condition. A man whose life had been one of extraordinary activity, it was only the few in close intimacy with him who ‘had come to look upon him of late as an invalid. Sciatica was the malady from which he.suffered,When, in obedience to his physician’ s instructions, he left the city last Thursda for the Warm and dry region of the Colors 0; but whatever the medical term for the diseasewhich in his six- ty-fourth year has taken him from them, his friends know that he is a victim to overwork. \Vith Mark Hopkins, whatever was worth do- ing was worth doing well. His application to business was remarkable for its intensity. His hours of labor, begun in the early morning, were even up to recent years continued until late into the night. No toil wastoo severe for him. ‘ ‘He liked to work more than the laziest man likes to loaf,” says one of his nephews. His working hours were his hours of recrea- tion . Labor was to Mark Hopkins not 9. curse but a perpetual delight; and so he were him- s‘elf out. The following dispatch tells the sad s or : ' “ ’UMA, March 29, 1878.——To Leland Stan- ford and Charles Crocker:-—Mr. Ho kins died at 3:30 this morning. He had su cred con- siderably at intervals, from his rheumatic pains, since his arrival here Monday evening, but for the last thirty-six hours had been coin- fortably free from lain, and had rested better than previously. 0 alarming syinptoms were manifested until within a few moments of his death. He passed away in slee , with no ap- parent pain or struggle. S. S. Ii\iONTAGUE. ’ ’ LIFE or THE DECEASED. Mr. Hopkins was a pioneer citizen. He came ‘to the State in 18-19, and may be said never to have left it. He has died one of our richest men, and with a character for integrity and upriglitness that excels his reputation as :3. mil- lionaire. He was born in Jefferson Cit ’, New York, Se teniber 1, 1813. He receive an or- dinary sc ool education, and ear} in life studied law in his brother's oﬁice in ew York. Subsequently he engaged in mercantile lmsiness in New York. On the 22dof January, 1849, he sailed from New York for San Francisco on the ship Paciﬁc, and arrived inthis harbor Angus 5, of the same year. There came with him in j same ship Arthur M. Ebbetts, Dr. Still , Maj. Dunham, Mr. Caswell and Mr. Masten. Soon after his arrival in the State, Mr. Hop- kins engaged in freighting to the mining re- ions, taking Sacramento as the starting point. "11 1850 he entered into partnership, in the rocery business. in Sacramento, with E. H. iller, and subsequently became one of the members of the hardware ﬁrm of Huntington & Hopkins. As a merchant Mr. Hopkins was very successful, and the business with which he was connectedﬂourislied into one of great magnitude. When the project of building an overland railroad was taken up, Mr. Hopkins threw himself‘ unreserved] into the enter- prise, and with the Central‘ aciﬁc -Railroad he remained identiﬁed up to his death. He was Treasurer of the Company. His loss is seri- ously felt by his co-workcrs on the directorate. A MARVELLOUS LETTER-WRITER. Gen. David D. Colton speaks verv highly of his deceased associate, and evidently admired his business sagacity. He describes him as a man of few words, austere, perhaps, and re- served among strangers, but kind and gener- ous to those connected with him. His energy was remarkable and ‘his judgment profound. “He was the best lette.r-writer _” said Mr. Colton, “thatl ever knew. more on a page of note paper than Crocker and I could on half a. dozen pages of fools- cap. He was terse, direct, vigorous and ele- gant, and whenever any of the common busi- ness demanded a letter, we always used to make him write it. He was a man who had to be known to be appreciated, and as he was an intlefatigable worker,‘ he was very little known to the world, and by it consequently not fully appreciated. VVit-hin the last three or four years he was wont to say that the great mistake of his life was the lack of recreation. ’ ’ MR. HOPKINS’ PIONEER VOYAGE. ' Dr. Stillman, in his book, ‘ ‘Seeking the G olden Fleece, ” descriptive of life on the ship Paciﬁc and subsequent. events in California,has but little to say about his fellow passenger, Mr. Ho )kins. “Mark,” as he was familiar- ly calle , was prominently connected with only one incident during the voyage. The Paciﬁc crossed the equator on June 26, 1849, and preparations were made to celebrate the Fourth of July in an appropriate manner. Old residents of New England will distinctly remember the annual ‘ ‘inuster’ -’ of militia in New Hampshire, Vermont, and one or two other States, when several days are devoted to a grand encampment. review and inspection of the State troops by the Governor. Up to within a few years, and possibly to this day, the ‘ ‘muster’ ’ attracted people from all parts of the State. like a State Fair. The passen- gers, being mostly New Englanders, resolved to have a muster on the Fourth. A military organi/;at.ion was formed, consisting of twen- ty-ﬁve privates, with a regiinental staff, the uniform consisting of a ilainiiig red shirt, black pants, and the immense white Califor- nia hat, which everybody then were, and which maybe seen to this day in the mining rcg'i0ns. “Mark” was chosen Brigade In- specter, but conceived in violent. antipathy to the oﬁiec and obstinatcly refused to serve. Prot.csiatio1is and persuasions were of no avail; liis associates might as well have talked to a stone wall; ‘ ‘Mark’ ’ was inﬂexible, and vowed he would not participate unless he could be Assistant Surgeon. He carried his point, served with Dr. Stillman on the Colo- ncl’s staff, and the ‘ ‘muster’ ’ went off with ‘Vs next. hear of him rambling along the Sacramento River with a party of miners, hunters and adventurers, where, af- ter many failures to kill ‘ ‘big game, ’ ’ he suc- gctiilcd in brcakinga (loe’s back with a riﬂe a . :I:r.I.AxING THE BUSINESS STRAIN.

A Church Ruined Because the Members Made, Sold, and Drank Applejack. _ [From the New York Sun.) Bishop R. S. Foster’s venerable head and beard was the apex of a pyramid of hot house plants at the session of the New York East Conference in the First Place Methodist Epis- eopal Khurch, Brooklyn, yesterday. The au- dience was so large that it broke beyond the bar of the conference, and long lines of camp stools containing young and old ladies ex- tended throu *h the ﬁeld of black broadcloth. The Rev. . T‘. Hill, Presiding Elder of the New Haven District, which comprises all the territorv between the Massachusetts line, Long Island Sound, and the Connecticut and Housatonic Rivers, making nearly one-third of the State, reported that there had been about 1,000 conversions in his district. They had lost the church and property at West Granby, Conn. Eight distilleries had been found in the vicinity of -the church, all owned and run by members of the church. Several of the stewards were in the business, and they manufactured cider brandy and sold it by wholesale and retail. The church appointed new stewards, but the pastor was powerless. The stewards had been called before the Quar- terly Conference, and the most insolent one was tried, but eight of the brethren had ap- eared, and one 0‘ them was the class leader. "he steward was acquitted. The stewards seceded, and a new -ecclesiastical body was organized, and the liquor-dealing stewards had taken the church property, as it had been deeded to them, and the Courts decided that they had the power to dispose of it.’ The pastor, who had been sent there with his wife, had received but a. mere pittance and had suf- fered barbaric iudignities from the rum-loving mob. This brother was in need of immediate assistance. Many of the churches were un- able to support their pastor. Twenty-three churches had said that they must be supplied by local preachers, or close their doors. Many of the churches were in distress, and would not be generous enough to join with another church in circuit. Mcthodism is doomed here unless a change could be effected. They’ would see most of their churches go to decay, if the spirit of Methodism departed from t e laity, and of heroic self-sacriﬁce from the ministry. He he ed a Conference Missiona Society Evopldt e formed to aid feeble churc es in the is .-1'10 . All that the Rev. W. E. Tompkins had re- ceived at West Granby, Conn., was $199 64, part of which was in poor hay and part in money and part in sla. s. He had not got enough to pay for a horse and wagon, neces- sary to do his work. He had a wife and two children, and needed. $300 to pay his debts. Brother Lane was in debt, and had nothing at 11, while Brother Allen and Brother’ Munson — ere also in great need. A collection was ‘tgken up in behalf of these debt—laden minis- ,rs. The ministers were as noisy as politicians at this stage, and the Bishop besou ht them to keep quiet, but as they were near y all accus- tomed to the Weekly performances at the Methodist ministers’ meeting their sense of order was demoralized, and the Bishop’s words were powerless. The brethren showered out ten, ﬁve, two and one dollar bills, amid a. running ﬁre of badinage and repartee. A member of another denomination sent up $10 in honor of the Bishop's efforts to make the ministers kee order. ’ “Ha, ha,” roared a muscular brother, ‘ ‘it’s the ﬁrst time I ever knew that ministers could make money by misbehaving. ’ ’ . I The Gardener Bird’s Home. fFrom the London Spectatoi-.1 In the last number of the Gardener’s Chron- icle a very curious accoimt is translated for that journal, and illustrated with engravings by a traveler in New Guinea——-Signor Odoardi Beceari-of a new species of bower bird, very similar in its habits to the Australian bower birds, of which Mr. Darwin gives so striking an account in his second volume of his “De- scent. of Man. ” This new Papuan variety is called the Amblyornis inolrnata, and is, in fact, a. Bird of Paradise in plain clothes, with- out the gorgeous costume that is usually asso- ciated with the name. Another name of the bird is Tu-I-can robon, which means a “gardener, ’ ’ and, in fact, the chief peculiarity of the bird is its great taste for landscape gardening, in which art it seems to excel almost all the ower birds. Signor Beccari ap arentl regards the bowers he de- scribes as t e bir ’s “nest,” but unless the New Guinea variety differs in this respect from t.he other kinds of birds of this descrip- tion, he was probabl mistaken in this. Mr. Darwin sa‘ s distinct _v, ‘ ‘The bowers, which as we shal hereafter see, are hi my decorated with feathers, shells bones an leaves, are built on the round for the sole purpose of courtship, or their nests are formed in trees.” VVe should think it most likely that this is the case also with the New Guinea species. And if so, the beautiful arbors described and illustrated. by Signor Beccari are mere places of social resort, like our marquees or tents for picnics; and though so much more beauti- ful, are much more durable also, for Signor Beccari says that the Amblyornis bowers last for three or four years, which our marquees, even in that climate, hardly would. And the beauty of the structure shows how far superior these birds are to human beings in their aestlietic architecture. They select for their bowers a ﬂat space round a small tree, the stem of whicli is not thicker than a walkin - stick, and clear of branches near the groun . Round this they build a cone of mess of the size of a man’s hand, the object of which does not seem to be explained, but may be perhaps merely to make a soft cushion round the tree in parts where the birds are most likely to strike against it. At a little height-above this mess’ cushion, and about two feet from the ground, they at- tach to the tree twi s of a particular orchid (Dendrobium), which grows in large tufts on the trunks and branches of trees, its twigs be- ing very pliant, and weave them together, fastening them to the ground at a distance of about eighteen inches from the tree’ all round, leaving, of course, an opening by which the birds enter the arbor. Thus they make a con- ical arbor of some two feet in height and three feet (on the ground) in diameter, with a wide ring round 1: e moss cushion for promenad- ing; and here they are sheltered from the ele- ments, and have :1 pavilion of the most deli- cate materials. Thcy appear to select this particular orchid for their building because, beside the extreme pliancy, the stalks and leaves live long after they are detached from the plant on which they grow. Both leaves and stalks remain fresh and beautiful, says Prof. Beccari, for a very long period after they have been plaited in this way into the rooﬁng of the arbor.-—[London Spectator, March 23.

Exactly What the Assassin or Archbish- op Darboy Said at the Recent Ban- quet. [From the New York Woi-ld .} The full text of the speech delivered by Cit- izen Edmond Megy, the escaped Communist who commanded the ﬁring-part at the “exe- cution” of the Archbishop of aris and the other hosta es, at the Beethoven Hall ban- quet, Marc 17, 1878, has been published in pamphlet form, the proceeds of its sale being applied to the beneﬁt of the Communists trans- ported to New Caledonia. M. Megy’s speech egins as followg_;—the honorar President, of the association, it should be sa d, is the vet- eran revolutionist Blanqui,whom the French authorities have held in prison for the last seven years: N ow more than ever the name of Blanqui is an actualit , for (to the shame of the self- syled Frene Republic) the great apostle of social revolution is still confined in the prison of Clairvaux, his offense being his refusal to become the accomplice of the traitors who give up the republic to the Royalists of mace and the Iniperialists of Germany. Thicrs, who had alread prepared his coup d’etat., with a view "to a vertising himself as the savior of society and to the destruction of the republic, had arrested Blanqui at Cahors a fortnight before the 18th of March (Note—The date of the Communist rising of 1871), and when the Commune, in whose operations he took no part, proposed the exchange of our illustrious friend against all the hostages he might name, Thiers plumply refused to enter into the arrangement. “You dare not meet Blanqui, and you might as well own it,’ ’ said Citizen Flotte, the delegate of the Commune. ‘ ‘VVe1l-, I had rather not, ” replied Thiers. ‘ ‘Do what you will with your hostages, I will kee mine.” ' T e pretended Re ublican Government of to-day, by keeping B anqui in prison for seven years, commits a most "infamous act -of most abominable cowardice and it is to protest anew against the perﬁdy of these bogus Re- publicans. who at this moment hold France in their talons that we have selected Citizen Blanqui as honorary President of this celebra- ion. Blanqui made his debut in public life behind a barricade in the Rue St. Denis, at the elec- tions of 1827., He was there wounded in the neck. He fought again in 1830, and took part in all the revolutionary enterprises of the Re- publican part agpinst Louis Philippe. Con- demned to dyeat in‘ May, 1839, his sentence was commuted to perpetual imprisonment. He was dyin in the Hospital of Tours, when the Revolution of 1848 freed him. To the Provisional Government he appeared like a spectre. ‘ ‘Have ou come to overthrow us?’ ’ said Recurt. “ 0,” said Blanqui; “but to bar the road behind you. ’ ’ Blanqui’s legendary honesty, his absolute‘ devotion to the revolutionary ca.use,have made the intriguers and thieves who, beneath a Re- publican inask, cheat the people with enervat- ing doctrines, which lead them perpetually the same round of ignomiuy and misery-liave made them shiver with fear. These children of falsehood fear truth; for this reason they have buried Blanqui alive, so that the people might not hear the last appeal of him who for the sake of the revolutionary cause has under- gone all humiliations--every torture of body and mind, upon whom the implacable haters of right. havekheaped the most hideous calum- mes. ‘ The France of the revolution, brutiﬂed by clericalism, accepted the eighteen years of the empire, and by her apathy and maddening cowardice made herself privy) to all the acts of Bona arte. She made her ed in the gutter and g cried in it; she made of her sons food for powder at the demand of a brigand; she let perish of hunger the Wives, sisters and daughters to whom fusilades, the guillotine and exile left no means of support but prosti- tution.

V He then con- tinued: . ~ A Peo le up in arms is a Free People. ‘ ‘Get lead an you’ll have bread, ’ ’ Blanqui has said. ‘ * * * . ' . The 18th of March may be described as con.- taining two very distinct insurrections~—-that of the Governnﬂnt against the People,t.hat of the People against the Governmental coup d’etat. I come now to the Commune. The Commune (Note-—M. Megy prints this passage in SMALL CAPS) was the rising of the ' workers, enslaved by the existing social or- ganization, against those who arro ate to themselves the right to consume, wit out la- boring, the production of the workers, who receive for their toil only poverty. Thus thought all who fought under the ﬂag of the Commune. ‘ ‘Cominunalism, ’ ’ ‘ ‘mu- nicipal liberty, ’ ’ and the like, are hollow Words, which answer tonothinv serious, and serve but to mislead the people, and make them lose sight of the true and only aim of so- cial revolution. We could not too vehemently hold up those who use these words to popular distrust. In point of fact, what matters it whether one hand or another wields the lash that falls upon our backs--whether the chain which binds us to the pillory of misery is silvered or gilt? Is not the result always the same? . What the people want is the rights of life; not the ridiculous privilege of naming their jailers. Let it be thoroughly understood: the right to live is not to be granted as a favor; it is on] really possessed where it has been ob- tainc by conquest. It is for these reasons that the Commune of Paris was not a local matter but in the highest sense a question affecting ali humanity. In af- ﬁrming its rights the populace of Paris af- ﬁrmed. the rights of every being who suffers. It was overthrown, but the Communist ideais stronger than ever, because misery is more in- tense than ever. The workingmen of Pittsburg proved re- cently that the people everywhere stand on the platform of the right to live, and that the idea ’ of the great social revolution had been im- - planted in ‘American soil. Now let the people do their duty. Citizens, the frightful crisis through which we are assing shows in the clearest fashion that on y revolution can give to the producer that which belongs to him of right. They have their labor for their pains who seek to prove that economic crises spring from _ the shutting down of this or that man’ s works‘, the suspension of banks, the too keen competition of machinery with workingmen. Bosh! All boshl For our part wethold that so long as the sun shines and water runs, while the earth yields harvest and the seas are not dried up, there should be upon the earth no being in want. The hideous misery beneath which groan and, writhe the masses is a crime against humanity, to be laid to the account of the ‘ ‘directin 3 classes” that are interested in starving an’ ; , brlgitifying the people the more successfu1ly~*’to ro it. . » --1» In that day when the people, knowing that the earth belongs to all, shall resolutely re- claim its rights in that day, citizens, the ac- tual existing fabric of) society, begetter of crime and of misery, shall have had its day. But the people must be on the alert. If they are not there will be a perpetual crisis and never-ending misery. A Chinese Gambling Party. [From the Philadelphia Times.) For some time back the laundry of Sam Wing, at No. 48 North Tenth street, has ap- peared to possess extraordinary nightly at- tractions for his a1mon_d—eyed count 'men, and curiosity has been piqued to solve t e rid- dle as to whether they resorted there for social v 3 ‘. purposes or the dreamy languor ‘of opium‘ smo 'ing or the seductions of Chinese Loo. The matter was settled deﬁnitely by Lieut. Croat and a detachment of Reserve police, who walked into Sam Wing’s domicile about 10 o'clock last night, surprised the smoke- envelopod and jabbermg Celestials, about ﬁf- teen in number, absorbed In the intricacies of “China penny,” a game played with dom- inoes. The game IS counted on the Chinese abacus (balls strung on wires), circular tin pieces and Chinese cash, or copper pennies, being used as “chips” or stakes. White and black glass buttons are also used to indicate certain amounts . The warrant on which the haul was made was issued on the oath of Hong Hing, N o. 344 South Third street, charging Ah Yot and Ali Fung with setting up and maintaining a gam- bling game and Sam Wing with renting a room to them for’ the purpose,at No. 48 North Tenth street. Hong Hing says he has lost over $200 inthe seductive “(.‘_hin‘a enny.” The pris- oners and the gambling ‘ ‘ ay-out’ ’ were taken to the Central Sta.t.ion,wliere. Magisti-:ite Smith was in waiting. The party bore the following euphonious names: Yet Lee, Lee Ya-u_ "W 011% Lee, Lee Kung, Lee Gin, Hop Web, L Tching, Lee Pooh, All Won, Lee Tchow, Hon Gow Lee Tchun Lee Sing, Lee Pooh, Y 3 _ gi , You om, Sam Wing. They were variously attired in Chinese and_ American costumes, and smoked cigarettes vigorously. _ _1ot Lee, an intelligent, acute Mongolian, did the talking for the party, and wished the reporters to leave his name and address out, because he had many washing customers who woulg “go for him when they folprid out he gain ed.” He said Ml istrate o e was a. particular friend of his.1g“He sabe me for a ullee fellow, and he catchee me here, he scold like de devil.” He was aglowed go out with an oﬁicer to send a ispatc oa flriciid lat the Mansion House, whobivould glo is ai .

Was St. Patrick Jeremiah? I From the New York Heraldll Whose who have light] objected to St. Pat- rick being called a Frene man must buckle on their armor anew, for a Wild doctor, or rather a Rev." Dr. Wild, asserts that St. Patrick was an Israelite, and that his name was Jeremiah. We can not go into the ingenious Doctor’s argument, but we must admit that he deals very handsomely witlnthe Irish people in giv- ing them a full grown prophet from the Old Testament instead of a mere ‘ ‘Mossoo. ’ ’ The Doctor’ s arguments must be dealt with on their merits; but if it should turn out that the Irish people are the lost tribes of Israel, the standing of the Jews in the world will be great- ly bettered. The ten tribes must have taken the great ﬁghting men with them, the rollick- ing* dare-devil fellows who brought their carpet-bags out of the wilderness and were all the time ‘ ‘spoiling for a ﬁght. ’ ’ They were the boys that carried the rams’ horns, and no doubt put them to more convi- vial purposes than blowing down thewal-ls of Jericho. . When the ten tribes went to Ireland _ they left behind them in Judea the solid busi- , ness men, - and -that would explain how it has come to pass that the people known as the Jews in modern history have been mak- ing all the .money and the Jews in Ireland have been doing all the ﬁghting. If they were united now what a team they would make! The Doctor, we observe, relies greatly on the well-known tradition about J acob’s stone _ il- low, which now rests in Westminster Ab ey in front of the English coronation chair. But this is not the on] evidence. Take the name of Jeremiah‘ tself. Why, there are are as many Irishmen who delight .in the name of Jerry as in that of Patsy. Now, the Irish people must have . some occult reason for picking that name out for such continued reverence. The do not christen their children Solomon or eze- kiah or Isaiah or Nehemiah, but the line of J eremiahs goes back, we are afraid to say how far. The Doctor also says the Jews when they first came to Ireland were called the children of Dan. Dan is also a peculiarly Irish name, as everybody knows who has heard of Dan O’Connell, and to-day the tribe of Dan is one of the largest in the country. It is well also to remem or that St. Patrick’s fame ‘rests strongly on the wa ‘ ‘he gave the snakes and toads a twist’ ’ an drove them out of Ireland. It is a bad rule that will not work both ways. When Moses did his great rod and snake act before Pharaoh the later hardened his heart, which induced the holy Hebrew to order up an army of frogs and toads that ﬂopped and eroaked all over Egypt. St. Patrick Jeremiah was only reversing the Egyptian snake act. He found the ‘ ‘Varmint’ ’ in Ireland, and when he twirled his rod as Aaron did we have no doubt, as history re- cords, “the beasts committed suicide to save themselves from slaughter. ” The question will arise, How are you going to get round the Hebrew nose? This is puerile. Take 9. retrousse Celtic nasal organ and a noble He- brew proboscis and they will make a pair of Greek or straight noses between them. They have been separated for some twenty-six hun- dred years. ‘ The ordinary Hebrew nose has been developing ahill and the Irish Hebrew nose a hollow, as the Darwinians would argue, during seventy odd generations, but each is still the complement of the other. These two remarkable branches of a common people are to be congratulated on this discovery. It is truly touching. “Sheremiah, mein long lost bruder, by‘Crayshusl”. “Shweet mother 0’ Moses, is that yourself, Abraham?’ ’ The Secular Press for Religious Pur- - poses. - [From the New York Sun.) The Baptist ministers debated yesterday the ﬁtness of the secular press for religious pur- poses, the Rev. Dr. R. S. McArthur leading with an essay. It is, he said, self-evident that Christians ought to avail themselves of every power, legitimately within their reach, to advance the cause of Christ. The secular press, he continued, is a mighty power in converting and Christianizing masses of peo- le. Members of Congress speak, not to be eard in Washinoton, but by their constitu- ents. Homer teﬁs of orators who spoke from mountain top to mountain top, seven miles apart; butt-he press is a hint of the resurrec- tion trumpet. Only a day or two ago he heard of the conversion-of a person through reading in the Sun one of Moody’s sermons. Willing- ly or unwillingly, the secular press must u — lisli rel'o'ious news. There is no need 0 re- ligious ally newspapers. A minister was re- cently asked what religious news apers he read, and he replied that he read t iree New York morning newspapers. In closing, the essayist’ recommended hiring space in the daily newspapers for the printing of special religious tenets or abstracts of discourses. ‘ Sto creaking and whining, and use the enterpris- ing, sanctiﬁed daily press. ’ ’ In discussing the paper, the Rev. Dr. J. D. Fulton said that in most newspaper oﬂices Je- sus Christ and Him cruciﬁedare tabooed. Take a sermon to the Baptist Examiner, and the editor would sanctimoniously look it over and sa that he ‘ ‘didn’t see much in it. ’ ’ [Lang tern; G0 to the Baptist Weekly, and you couldn t get anything rinted. [Laughter and applause.] The secu ar press Wants only sensation. ‘ Brother Foote said that the use of the press is a dangerous temptation to ministers. They even write puffs for themselves. The speaker would not dare enter the path pointed out by the essayist; there would be such danger of falling into the hands of the devil. He did not doubt that the Sun was the unwilling as well as the unconscious means of converting that person who read Mr. Moody’s sermon. Brother Gessler said that it did him good to see his sermons in print. They looked so thin that, next Sunday, he labored to get more meat. into his discourse. Brother Gyrie jumped up and asked how any one could make a judicious use of poison. The newspaper he said, is a sham and a snare of the devil. No matter how carefully a min- ister makcs out an abstract for a re orter, the newspaper man, through sheer devi try, alters it to make fun of the minister. ‘ [“Amen,” from several of the brethren]. “I’ve had several experiences of that kind. ’ ’ [Applause aI‘fdl§ughter.] _ Brother Hedden said, sarcasticallgz “Sup- pose all the cat thoughts ‘spoken y us ye_s- ter had een pI'lll_tPd, instead of the vile tra that a pears in the morning news- papgis, woul n’t the United States have been mov .

Telegx-am.] While engineer Brown was backing his en- gine, the Monson,.down to the New London De ot to attach it to thesteamboat train a lit- tle efore 4 o’clock this morning, he saw, through the darkness, an engine coming up the track on which he was. It was proceedin at a quite rapid rate of s eed that threatene a collision. He reverse his engine and sent her ahead, timing his speed so that when the advancing engine ﬁnally struck his own, at a point near the drawbridge, the shock was but slight. He then clambered along the boiler platform of the colliding engine, which was the Konomoc, and shut off its steam, having, meantime, shut off that in the Monson. t appears that while the Konomoc was standing at the freight depot some miscreant detached it from the train of eight freight cars to which it was attached, and set it in motion. As it went on it gathered speed, and but for the ac- cidental meeting and fortunate stop age by the Morison, it would have dashed up t e road and stopped nobody knows were.

A Transit for which Provision Has Been Made--A Far More Important Event -which Congress is Neglecting. [From the N. Y. Tribune.) WASIIINGTON, April 7.—-Vhe Navv Depart- ment asked the last Congress for an obtained $1,500 for the purpose of observing the transit of Mercury on the 6th of next May. The sum is not as large as the astronomers at the Naval Observatory could use to advant.agefor the pur- pose, but with the expected assistance of vol- unteer observers, it will probably suﬂice to gather data-which will help to. solve several of the interesting fproblems which now engage the attention 0 astronomers. A pamphlet has been sent to amateur astronomers by the authorities of the Observatory, settlnrr forth the desirability of having as many 0 serva- tions from different points as can be made,and giving directionsby which those who wish to co-operate with the Observatory can do so_to the best advantage. The instrumental equip- ment necessary to render the work of ama- teurs serviceable to the requirements of the Observatory comprises a telescope of not less than three inches aperture, with a magnifying power of not less than ninety diameters; a chronometer or a good clock having a second’s pendulum, and a transit iiistrunicnt or a sex- tant for determining the errors of the time- piece. _ The correct observation of the transit of Mercur is, according to Prof. Newcomb,_ of espccia importance as affording data which wi 1 be decisive of the question whether the assumption of Lcverrier (that the motion of the perihelion of Mercury is much greater than that due to the action of the known plan; ets) is really correct. Information is also ex- pected to be obtained respecting several ques- tions of less general moment. _ The preparations made at the observatory for this occasion, for work of a more exact and scientiﬁc character than can be e. ected from amateurs, can be described as fo lows: Profs. Harkness and Eastman, of the staff of the observatory, will be sent to some point in the West, not yet ﬁxed‘, each equipped with a ﬁve-inch telescope and the proper instru- mental accompaniments for recording theirobs .« ervations with exactness. Photobellooraphs-— instruments used in celestial photograptiiy-—-will be sent to Prof. Pickerin ,0at the Harvard College Observatory, and rof. Watson, at Ann Arbor, Mich. A third will be-shipped to Ogden, Utah, to be placed in charge of Dr. Andre, the French astronomer, who recently came to this country on behalf of his Govern- ment to observe the coming transit. One of these instruments will also be in operation at the Observatory here. From each of them ﬁfty impressions are to be taken at stated in- tervals during the seven hours which will elapse while the planet is in transit, and the plates are to be forwarded to Washington for com arisen with each other and measurement by t e delicate instruments and processes in use by the Government astronomers. The re- sults when found will be published for the use of astronomers everywhere. Another coinin event-——the total eclipse of the sun on the 29t of July—-—has for astrono- mers an interest greater even than that of the transit’ of Mercury. Scarcely one opportunity occurs in a lifetime so favorable to the study of some of the most intercfstin phenomena with which astronomy has to dea . Yet noth- ing has been done. to take advantage of it. The path of totality of this cell se runs diag- onally across thc center of the nited States, from Montana to Texas, and is between 120 and 150 miles wide. Many of the best points for observation are directly accessible by rail- road, an a dozen expeditions might be equipped and sent to as many different points with only a. fraction of the outlay made by European nations in single expeditions for similar pur oses. Admiral John Rogers, the Superinten ent of the Naval Observatory, speakingto a correspondent of the Tribune upon the importance of this matter, said that the sum of all the opportunities which all the astronomers of. the world can get for observing such eclipses does not ex- ceed ﬁve or six hours in a century. Recent discoveries have rendered it probable that many if not all of the great meteorological changes going on upon the earth are caused many questions relating to the physical con- stitution of that orb, and the changes there taking place can only be studied during a to- tal eclipse.

It was desired to send two e. editions to Montana, two to Texas, two to oloraclo, and one to Wyoniing.

A second letter from Admiral Rogers to the Chairman of the House Appropriations Com- mittee set forth the importance, to the ad- vancement of astronomical knowledge of measures for observing the cumin eclipse. It is claimed that this letter was mis aid and that no sufficient reason was presented to the com- mittee in support of the estimate, so that the item was stricken out. Mr. Clymer, who had the naval bill in charge in the house, says that no hostility was manifested in the committee tolttlie iltiem in question, anddshould it be add.- e y t e‘ Senate as an amen ment to the navy bill it would probably meet with no opposition in the House. The bill has already been con- sidered by the Senate committee, and MW awaits its turn on Senate calendar. It is not too late to add the item as an the urpose, if any Senator or Repi-csentative can nd time to convince himself of its im- portance. Bold Attempt at Wholesale Forgery. From the San Francisco Bulletin.) For at out six months the detectives have been on the Watch to thwart the schemes of some rascals - who sought to ﬂood the market with forged mining stock, and they have at last succeeded in arresting one George Craw- ford on charge of_ forging Ophir and Eureka Consolidated stock. About six months ago a man known as “Co1.” Charles H. Crawford approached a. certain lithographer in this city and made a request that he would strike off some copies of Ophir stock, offering a handsome sum for the service. The lithograplier said he would think over the matter, and at once informed the police of the affair. It was agreed that the lithograplier should pretend to be desir- ous of doing the Work, being deterred only by fear of discovery. By t is means the ‘ Colonel” was kept waiting from week to week in the hopes that his man would yield, and in the meantime imparted to him a part of his plan. Men of high stand- ing in the community were represented to be implicated in the job, which was nothing less than forging stock certiﬁcates. During this time Crawford was shadowed, and he was seen to be much with a younger man, who was also named Crawford, but not re- lated. Upon consultation with the managers of the mining companies interested it was seen that the forged stock could not be issued With- out loss to some people, to many of the poorer classes, perhaps, and it was agreed to seize the stock before it could be placed upon the market. But it is probable that the ‘ ‘Colonel’ ’ b this time became suspicious, and had an idea that he was watched by the police, for he got$300 from his rich and “respec- table” principals to give to the litliographer who wanted more money—-—-and went to New York without delay. After the ﬂight of their tool, the ring cast about for another man to manipulate the lithograplier, and ﬁxed upon George Crawforp, the “Col- onel’s’ ’ companion. George at once entered into the scheme, and two months ago began upon the lith- ographer again, and gave him to understand that he would have no delay. After consult- ing with Captain Lees, it was decided to print the stock. The lithograplier agreed to do the work for $300 and a. share in the proceeds, which was satisfactory to Crawford and the work be an. This was allowed in order that Crawfor might not go elsewhere for his tint- ing. The work was to be done altoget er at night, and the lithographer so arran ed his work-room that the detectives coul watch every movement without bein observed. Crawford was always present w the work was olng on. Crawf . said, left a large sum of money by events taking place upon the sun,'and’ amendment, nor to introduce a special bill for ' ...-.__.._.A _ .._..-....... __... -.._ delivered. Saturday‘. But as Captain Lees had been informed by the lithographel‘ 0f H10 Mite!!- ded delivery, he and detective Meagher were on hand, and arrested (‘.raw1'ord, as he came from the lithographing oﬁicc. When searched at the City Prison the certiﬁcates were found, and the three sheets of }‘<31.u-eka consolidated ﬁcertiﬁcates, stoles at the time the books were P1‘i"t°d- I" the prisoner’s pockets were also found papers with the names ofC. L. McC0Y»S901‘9W1“.Y: and E. A. Richardson, Trustee of the OP1111‘ Company, which signatures Crawford had been imitating. The for cries were almost perfect, and were identitie b the gellﬂelllell as their own. The origina ,certillcate of Opliir, which served as a copy, was found 01.1 Crawford’s person. In his room, at the Cos- mopolitan Hotel, were found typc for indors- ing certiﬁcates with “Assessment pzlilly” 01‘ ‘ ‘Dividend paid,’ ’ with otherevidences of his intended swindle. Crawford says that he allowed himself to be made the tool of other people. He came from Pennsylvania about a year ago, having some money, which he loaned to Berry'&' \Volf- skill, brokers, with whom lie obtained em- ployment. The money went the way of most money invested in stocks, and was lost. The prisoner is about twenty-eight years old, A Ghost and A Treasure. [From the Baltimore Bulletin, 6th.] Last evening while a number of workmeri in the employ of Smith at Co. were engaged in cleanin0' a. sink at the house of Mr. Peter Reth, No. 316 South Wolfe street, they were almost dumfounded by bringing to light about two bushels of what seemed to be valuable gold and silver coins. Henry Anton, fore- man, it is said, ﬁlled two large buckets with the treasure and carried them off. . VVhcn the fact "leaked out the greatest excitement was caused, and still prevails. The coins are chieﬂy Haytian pieces of small value, made of copper and platinum. The circumstances surrounding the discovery of the coin are of the most romantic character. Forty or ﬁfty years ago there lived at the corner of Canton avenue and Wolfe street a wealthy boss mason, Henry Middleton by name , who built most of the houses on Fe1l’s Point. The old man died, leaving several children. He was very eccentric, very miserly, and, it was hidden away in-the house. One of his daughters made ev- ery effort to ﬁnd the money, without avail. Al- though the old man yvas reputed to be worth from $30,000 to $50,000,he left no visible prop- erty of value. Five or sixyears ago a laborer, Peter Beth, a German, who had gotten to- — gether about $2,000, determined to buy him a a little house, a home for himself and family. One night he had a dream, and he saw pic- tured before him a house with‘ a little store under it, behind the counter of which stood his wife. This was the house in which old Middleton had lived, and in his dream many events were pictured which have since occurred. Sub- sequently Roth bought the house and made some improvements, during which, it is said, a workman discovered a tin box containing valuable treasure, which he secretly took away with him. It is alleged that since that time the workman, who was a poor man, has been in comfortable circumstances. Last week Mr. Retli had another dream, in which a large portly gentleman, bearing a striking resemblance to a daughter of old Mr. Middleton, appeared to him and urged him strongly to clean out a closetin the rear of the house, intimating that he would ﬁnd some- thing valuable there. This dream was twice repeated, the old ntleman appearing to be very angry on the t '. (1 visit, and command- ing him to do at once what he bade him. Roth was so much impressed that he had the closet or sink cleaned out as stated, and yes- terday evening the‘ workmen took out four large buckets full of coin, which they placed in a potato sack, and, it is alleged, made off with all of thei'n,cxcept..a small qua.ntity,which were handed over to Mr. Reth. The latter, it is hinted, will take legal proceedings to re.- cover the coin. How.lVIrs.. Hayes.Enterta-ined a Euchre Quartette--lt’_s No Use, Lucy Won’t liaveait. , . . . , . [From the Philadelphia Press.) It is said’ that early in his reign Rutherford had invited some of the ‘boys up for a card party, and the thin was “set u ” in ad- vance. ‘The 'Presi out and Unc e Richard Thompson were to play against Evarts and Sherman.» The game was to be euchre, al- though. Sherman ,.and Thompson were yearning for a little draw poker. The guests came and were ushered without ceremony into the Pres- ident-’s library. Rutherford was there, and so was Madame more ‘entertaining and winsonie, if possible, than-‘usual. She was particularly solicitous about the health of each and the family of the same,hoping Uncle ‘Dick Thom - son wouldn’t,work, himself to death, and ba e Mr. Evarts beware how he took fried clams on his stomach at midnight. Mr. Sherman hoped they were not- detaining Mrs. Ha es from re- ceiving other friends or from t e pleasant duties of the domestic circle. Ah, no, in- deed! This was her hour with her husband and any of his intimate friends who happened to drop in. ‘Thompson looked at Sherman and winked. Sherman remarked: “Ah, yes, beautiful thought, madame; beautiful thought.” Evarts emitted a wordy eulogy on the beauties of home ‘life and the President -yawned. Eleven o’elock came, and the visitors withdrew with the sweetest of parting benedictions from Mrs. Hayes. The next day Rutherford was obliged to admit to his (limp- pointed friends, “It’s no use; Lucy won"t have it; she doesn’ t say a Word, but you see how she works it.” There won’t be any wickedness at the White House if Mrs. ‘Hayes can help it. There is a great deal of intriguery which she knows nothing about, but that doesn’t count. When she strikes anythingoff color she “shoots it on the spot. ’ ’ « ‘ the Legality of a Great Wedtliiig.

The Methuen Mui-derer’s Confession. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. BOsToN, MAss, April _11.—The following is the complete confession of Fred. Savage, the inhu- man wretcli who murdered Mrs. Rose Mignault Vincent at Biddeford, Maine, On the night of Monday, April 8. This confession was made to police officer James B. Marr, while on the road to Alfred jail. Before telling his story Savage requested Oﬁlcer Marr to write out his confession, as he declared it was the last time he would ever open his lips to any human being regarding the murder. THE CONFESSION IS As FOLLOWS: Three years ago I worked in Plaistow, N. H. ; here I became acquainted with the murdered woman; she lived in one-half of my sister’s house; she made love to me; after awhile I be- came so deeply in love with her I felt I could not leave her; ﬁnally I left, and came to Saco, and afterward went to. work on the farm of Mr. Milliken ; Rose sent for me to come to Methuen; I went; the woman sent her children to Canada where their father was; I brought her to Saco, and got her a chance to do housework at Benjamin Grant's, where I was then employed ; I pretended to Grant's _fOlks that was brought up in her family and that she was the same as a sister to me; about three weeks ago she went to Lawrence and came back; she went a second time; last Friday , I went to Mctliuen and found her keeping ’ company with a man nauied Cross; t ‘en brought, her back to SacO,and took her to my sister’s at ; _NO. -—-— Free street, to board; I had told her in Massachusetts that I had a job for her at G-Os- ham’s Hotel, Old . Orchard Beach; I wanted her to go back to Grant's to work, but she wOuldn’t, because the ‘wages were so small; on Monda she wanted me to take her to sail; she wante some whisky and I got it for her; we agreed to meet Monday night and O to sail; I obtained a boat at the whar near Cutler’s coal office; before, we. got started I gave her a drink Of! whisky; she sat in the middle of the boat;we had a conversation about her proceedings in Massachusetts; she acknowledged that she had criminal intercourse with the man Cross; this made me mad, and I made up my mind then that she should never do it again; she asked me to take a pinch of snuff; Itook it and put it into the whisk bottle; I then asked her to take a drink; she 'ank free- ly, and the liquor and snuff stupiﬁed her; she fell_ over in my arms; I then choked her until she was dead; thenltook off all her clothes, except the underclothing, tied a line around her leg, and threw her body over- board; _I tied the other end of t ie line to a big stick, which I stuck into a place in the. wharf; I solemnly say I never went more than ten rods from the wharf in the whole time; her body ﬂoated like a chip. I thought Iliad securely hitched the body to the wharf, which was an old wooden ier,- because I wanted it to be found, and mind in_ the morning. I did not think it would be identiﬁed; the body must have been carried by the current and tide to the place where it was found. HAVING MADE THIS CONFESSION, Savage expressed a wish that he were dead and Rose Vincent alive. Said lie: “I loved that gal so much I could not bear to see her going with other men.”. He would say no more. In a few minutes the hills of Alfred came into view, and the gloomy walls of the prison made famous by the sojourn of Louis Wagner, the Isle of Shoals mui-derer,were in plain sight. The Oﬁicer delivered Savage to J ailer Maddox, and he was placed in a cell on the second tier, close by the one which Wagner occupied. Attempted Assassination. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. CARTHAGE, Mo., April ll.--Aii attempt was made last night, about 11 o’clock, to murder Dr. John Goodwin, of Alba, a little tow"n ten miles northwest of this city, in this county. ' It appears that Dr. , Goodwin and ayoung man, _named Thompson were waiting on the same young lady, and that the Doctor, who is; a very estimable citizen, was the: favored suitor. Thompson has‘ been: known to have made threats against both, the young lady and the ‘Doctor if; she persisted in receiving his attentions, but! nothing, it seems, wags -thought of it. Last night, about 10 o'clock, Thompson called at Goodwin's office, ad asked‘ him to go into the ‘ country to see a lady, who was vei sick. The doctor at once went with him, bot being On horseback. When reaching abody of timber on Dry Creek, some two miles from Alba,,Thomp- son suddenly drew _ a revolver and commenced ﬁring on Goodwin. He ﬁred four times before stopping, one shot striking the Doctor in the right side, pass- ing throu h and ranging down to the left hip. Goodwin rew a small revolver he happened to have and ﬁred twice at Thompson, one shot striking him in the forehead, when he rode rap- - idlyoff. _BOth wounded men made their way to neighboring farm houses but Thom son soon after started On the roa again an has not since been heard of. ., From his being able to travel, it is thought his wound is not severe. Dr. Goodwin was found to -be very dangei'Ously wounded, and perhaps fa- tally. Hc was still living at noon to-day. The neighborhood is reatly excited, but when your informant left tﬁe scene of the assassination, about 12:50 O’c1Ock, no attempt had been made to arrest Thompson. The two men and the young lady all stand high in society, and the sensation is consequently great. Five Prisoners Escape. Special Dispatch to the G-lobe-Democrat.

Haines, a resident of Harmon. It appears that Buffing- ton and a man named Washburn got into a dis- putc about some triﬂing matter, when Haines, who is a brother-in-law of Wash- burn, _ pulled a pistol and fired at Buﬁiington, the ball striking him in the back near_the shoulder-blade and passed in a slanting direction downward through his side and lodged near the breastbone.

BOSTON, April 11.-Holt & Bugbee say the to. tal amount of forged paper foots up $147,000, and the stock and other property in Indianap- olis, which the ﬁrm estimated at ' about $68,000, will not exceed $50,000. In addition to the forged paper, the indebtedness of the ﬁrm amounts to about $40,000, making the total lia- bilities, as far as known, $187,000.

An Interesting Murder Trial. Special l)ispatcli to the Globe-Democrat. EDwAr.I>svILLE, ILL. , April ll.-The Court- room was comfortably ﬁlled to-night with peo ple listening to the trial of the People vs. Harry Talway, for the killing of Edward Branholl, of Alton, I11. , on the morning of the 27th October, 1878, at a ball in North Alton. The case bids fair to be a very long, tedious and important one, there being something like seventy-ﬁve witnesses. It seems that the shooting was done duringa eneral row, and the facts produced so ar in the case seem only to make the complication stronger, and the probability of convictin any one much more diilicult. One John MO1 ey has turned State's evidence, and is yet to be heard. With this case, the sgring term of the Circuit Court will close, the Ocket being nearly cleared. Judge W. H.

Their Great Partiality for Private Legislation. The Work of the Recorder and Collector at Jefferson City. Relation of the Scheme and Charter Troubles to the New Grand Jury System. The interest in the present anti-Scheme and Charter agitatiOn,_ and the investigation of city oﬁicials who retain fees in excess of their sala- ries continues. SO far as the Charter is con- cerned the current of opinion seems steadily setting against it. Probably very few people are entirely satisﬁed with the present working of the new Charter, and the class who are not satisﬁed with it embraces every shade of dis- content, from the man who thinks this or that little feature requires amending, to the citizen who openly advocates entire repeal. Much in- terest is being manifested in the supposed effect of the present agitation upon the city's credit, and friends of Comptroller Adreon made no se- cret Of their belief that his reticence on oﬁlcial subjects was prompted by a desire to maintain the city's ﬁnancial reputation. It was stated that for along time previous to his en- tering upon the Oﬁice, it had been Mr. Adreon’s pct idea to become City Comptroller, and that he had left unturned no -stone which could in any way increase the city's revenue under his management, and his endeavor to compel other salaried Oﬁicials to turn over their fees in ex- . cess of salary to the City 'I‘reasui'y, was in- stanced as a proof of the statement just made. ROSEY LEGISLATION. « A gentleman who is not unknown at J effcrson City told the reporter that when Mr. Rosenblatt was up at the State capital in connection with the delinquent taxes bill, that the St. Louis 1, delegation, to whom a little bill, carefully pre- pared bythe present Collector, was referred, at first evinced a disposition to take the whole matter Of the collection of delinquent taxes out of his hands, and place it in the hands of the Mayor; but iinall an amendment was made to stated amount of his salary. And still, Mr. fees for the collection of delinquent taxes, while folks wonder how he steers clear of the act governing in the premises. Another man who wanted‘a little extra legis- lation was ‘ MR. M’ADAM, THE RECORDER or DEEDS for St. Louis. He wanted to get an act passed that should settle the question of his salary. The committee, however, held that Mr. Mac- Adam was elected to an office whose salary was ﬁxed by law at $4,000. The Recorder pleaded that his predecessors had always retained all the fees Of the Oﬁice, but the committee refus- ed to pass his little bill, and so the Recorder was forcedto his present theory that the act fixing a salary of $4,000 doesn't apply to the Re- corder of St. Louis County, it having . be en re- pealed by implication. A reporter, who found Mr. MacAdaiu in his Office yesterday afternoon, suggested that the public would like to hear from him on the fee question, whereupon the Official addressed re- plied that he didn’t propose to talk to any GLOBE-DEMOCRAT man. The GLOBE-DEMO- CRAT had been telling lies about him, and while he admitted the right of the public to make proper inquiries on business matters at the Re- _corder’s office, he didn’t regard the GLOBE- DEMOCRAT as representing the public. Person- ally, he would be glad to see the reporter at any time, bu.t he had no information to give the public tlirou 2'11 a journal which had scandalous- ly defamcd iis character. In invited the reporter to clear Out. THE’ FEES OF CRIMINAL COURTS. Two Officials who turn over their fees to the ' city in good shape were found in the persons of of Criminal Correction. "Criminal Correction are turned over to the City by the city on a pay-roll dul * signed. The case of the Clerk 0 the Criminal retain his salary and paying over the balance of fees to the City Treasuiy. ‘Ibo manner in which -Mr. Adreon has looked after things is well il- lustrated by the fact that he has lately required the Clerks Of the two Courts just mentioned to turn into the City Treasu ‘ all unclaimed witness fees, a proceeding regu ated by an act passed in 1874, but never enforced until now. Another Oﬁicial, whose course in relation to unclaimed witness’ fees the re Orter was anx- ious to investigate, was the loroner, but on -inquiring at his oﬁicc it was found he was absent on sick leave, and as the enterprising deputy was also absent hunting up a new ‘ ‘stiff, ’ ’ the inquest on the Coroner’s office was postponed. SCHEME AND CHARTER SPECULATIONS. A great many people whom the reporter met seemed vastly surprised at the unusual reti- cence of Judge Madill on the Scheme and Char- ter matter. The general feeling was that the Judge was probably a little ‘ ‘riled’ ’ at news- paper references to his connection with the case, and annoyed at the raking up of the bal- lot-stuffing corpse. The Courts had decided that the Scheme and Charter had been adopted. Its amendment could be effected either by the Municipal Assembly or the I.egisla.t;i1re, after two years from the date of adoption. It was at present a ﬁxed fact, let people kick however much they liked, and good for about another year. The great defects of the Charter, as they appeared to citizens whom the reporter interviewed, were the double-barreled Munici- pal Assembly, the creation of a Board of Public Improvements, the change by which the Judge , Of the Criminal Court appoints the Grand Jury, the multiplicity Of Oﬁices, and the general con- trol of all city affairs exercised by the Mayor and some four or five high Officials. The Grand Jury system was very freely talked Of. A gen- tleman well posted on the subject of past and present Grand Juries reminded the re Orter of the time when the County Marshal picked out the Grand Jurors one of the Judges of the County Court got indicted for taking‘ a $5,000 bribe in relation to a county building contract, when a member of the County Court, -also known as one Of the Knights of St. Pat- ti-ick, sailed up to J effcrson City and got legis- lationpassed by which the County Court picked out the Grand urors. This was a ring which protected only the County Court Oiﬁcials and their friends. Thien came the present s *stem of appointment of Grand Jurors by the udge of the-Criminal Court, which came in with the Scheme and Charter. It wasn't long before a Grand Jury went to work on ‘THE SCHEME AND CHARTER FRAUDS. ‘' There wasn't a man who had ever touched the Scheme and Charter in any shape that didn’t get raked up before that Grand Jury, who held a two-edged investigation for ballot-stuifcrs On the one hand, and for alleged collusive litigants on the other. And seeing the authority for the statement is good, it may be stated that that Grand Jury did vote on the indictment of Mr. Overstolz and other parties, and by a close vote voted not to indict. . N ow, in some way which the reporter couldn't quite get at, there is said to be an undeiground connection between the gas litigation, the Scheme and Charter trouble now‘ going on, and the pros ective chan e in the J udgeship of the Criminal urt,the desider- atum being a Judge who, under the Scheme. and Charter, will see that until a statutory limit is reached, all Grand Juries by him ap- pointed shall be non-indicting as to certain oiﬁcials not necessary to be named. Rumor on the street seems to indicate that the combina- tion is too big to be handled, and that parties in interest, foreseeing the time when the struc- ture must fall by its Own weight, are busily en- gaged in covering tracks and preparing places of retreat. The Power to Tax. To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat: ST. LOUIS, April 9, 1878.—-Your issue of to-day contains an editorial [in which I ﬁnd this lan- guage: ‘ ‘There is no doubt of the power of the city to collect taxes for interest on the public debt and to meet current expenses. ’ ’ And an opinion of our Court of Appeals is cited which supports this view, and in which it is held that ‘ ‘to hold otherwise’ '—than. that the taxing ower is in the Charter-—“is to hold that the ramers of the Constitution offered to St. Louis a Charter under which she could have {no reve- nue, and consequentl no police, no Water- works, _nO street liglitin-g or pavin , no means of subsistence and no life, etc." he case in which this decision was rendered has been ap- pealed to the Supreme Court of the State, and is still pendin t ere, so that the question is an open one; an as_ni_uch as I res ect the level learning of the distinguished ju» sts com_ _ sing our honorable Court of Appea.ls, I must ssent from the above conclusion, for the reason that E1111?) gonsgiggtionl jzigiigls‘ _on£;-ansl al endeavorelclli to in rm ~ nner in w c the taxing power shall be exercised.

The 'onstitution provides that the General As- sembl shall provide by general laws for the organization and classification of the cities and towns of the State, and for the deﬁnition of the owers of each class. And that provision shall e made b general law whereby an city or town existing by virtue of any specia act may elect to abandon such special charter, and be- come subject to such general municipal incor- porations act. _ Pursuant to this provision, the General As- sembly, at its last session passed an act divid- ing the cities and towns of the State into four classes, and empowering them ‘to organize themselves under the eneral laws, one of which was passed for eac 1 class. The ﬁrst class consists of cities of 100,000 in- ha‘ '*ants- or more, and the law governing them is a slight modification of our present Charter,‘ and by it such cities are given the power to lev ' and collect taxes for city purposes, pro- iding the elect to lease their present chai-_tei_‘s and organ e under the general law. This is ap licable to St. Louis alone. ow, assuming that the City of St. Louis is without the power to levy a tax for city gur- poscs, there are 'ust two ways out of the - cult , one of wh ch is to procure the passage by the egislaturc of a general act empowering the cities and towns of t ie State to impose taxes for municipal purposes; and the other is for the Municipal Assembly to pass an ordinance ub- mitting to the legal voters of the city the ucs- tion whether they will elect to be overnc by the act relating to cities _O the ﬁrst class, and there could be very little difference in either plan. The act of classiﬁcation is complete in itself, and the Legislature can very easily ascertain the rate of taxation ro or to each class, and may pass an act con erring on the various classes the power to levy such rate. St. Louis, as the only city of the ﬁrst-class, might have the rate ﬁxed at 1 per cent, as the Charter assumes to do,-and then it would have Legislative authority in pursuance of the Con- stitution to raise a revenue to support its Gov- ernment. The other method would be far preferable, as it would enable the city to get rid at once of this Charter, which is already be- coming so odious to the people. Under the provisions of section 5 of_the ‘ ‘Act for the classiﬁcation of towns and cities, ’ ’ ap- proved April 21, 1877, and found on page 42 of session acts of 1877, the Municipal Assembly may pass an ordinance at once submitti to the legal voters of the city the question whet ier they will elect to organize under the general law for the government of cities of the first- class, at an election to be held, not less than twenty nor more than thirty days after the passage Of the ordinance, and if the majority shall ratify the ordinance the city will thereby be incorporated under the general law of the ﬁrst-class the power to levy and collect taxes for city purposes. As I said before, this act is very similar to our present Charter the principal difference being‘ that under it the Mayor is re- stricted to one term. But the great advanta e would be that amendments could then be me. e to the Charter by the General Assembly, which, as I have shown above, can not be now done. Seine Of the gentlemen who favor the retention of the present Charter pretend to do so because the General Assembly can not touch it, and they are greatly in favor of local se1f-govcrn- merit, home rule, etc. Let them submit the question to the people whether they want a continuance of the kind of hOi_ne rule that has already illustrated the enormity of that ‘fraud called the Charter, and I, for One, am willing to abide the result of a fair election as a test of . public opinion in that regard. Now, with reference to the matter of assess- ments-, even if the city has the power of taxa- tion, I contend that it has not been properly exercised in the assessment of real estate for the year 1877 , for the reason that the Assessors assumed to value the real estate of the city at the assessment of that year in the face of_ the general statute, section 48, of the revenue law, acts 1872, pa re 92., which reads as follows: “Real estate s iall be assessed at the assess- ment which shall commence On the first day of August, 1872, and shall onl be required to be assessed every two years t ercafter. Each as- sessment of real estate so made shall be the ba- sis of taxation for the two years next succeed- ing. ’ ’ , But, sa ' s some one, there was an act of the General sseinbly passed in 1873 (Sess. Acts 1873, p. 73) which provided that in the County of St. Louis there should be an annual Court of Appeals with power to ‘ ‘adjust and correct_the assessment books, ' ’ by increasing or diminish- ing. the assessed value of any property, real, ersonal or mixed, and ‘that this special law gas been substantially embodied in the Char- ter, and as a special law su ersedes and abro- gates the general law, so ar as St. Louis is concerned. And upon this theory valua- tions Of real estate are made every year. But the fallacy here is ‘in accepting di- roctions to the Court of Appeals, as a rule of "primary assessment. The Court of Ap- peals sits every year with the power and above noted, just as County Boards of Equalization, authorized by sections 14 and 15, acts 1872, page 87 , sit annually with power ‘ ‘to equalize the valuation and assessments upon real and personal property within the county. They each have the ower to raise or lower the valu- ations upon in ividual prices of real estate,l_)ut they do not interfere with- section 48, which provides for a primary assessment of real es- tate every two 'ea'rs only. The law was isr arded in the assessment of the real estate of this city for the year 1877, and a primary assessment made, which is invalid and void, being without authority Of law, for ‘ ‘real estate must be valued in the manner and upon the principles prescribed in the statute, and assessments made in violation Of this rule are void.” (37 Wisconsin Reports, page 75.) ‘ ‘A proper listing and valuation of property by the Assessor constitute the very foundation of the subsequent proceedings, and where the Assessor makes an assessment in direct viola- tion of the rules and principles prescribed by statute, the tax fails. ’ ’ (Schetter vs. the City of Fort Howard, decided by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin at the August term, 1877.) The Court of Appeals should at once direct that the assessments of real estate for the year 1876 be made the basis of the taxation on real estate for the year 1877, and, if they do not do so, the sufferers by the illegal assessments of 1877 should go into the Courts for certain re- dress.

The Pool Tournament. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. ‘NEW YORK, April li.--The Opening contest in the pool tournament to-day was between Geo. Slosson ‘ and Geo. Frey. A It was a bril- liant display, and resulted in favor of SlOsson_ after twenty - one games had been played. The score stood 10 to 6 at the close of the twentieth inning. The last game was remarkably clOse,but was ﬁnally won by Slosson. In the evening Budolphe and Cyrille Dion Opened, and their series was in remarkable contrast to the brilliant display of the afternoon. Rudolphe played in poor luck and very carelessly. Dion, who played a very careful game, won the ﬁi-st nine of the series in some of which Rudolphe did not pocket a ball. Rudolphe won the tenth ame, and Dion took his . eleventli_ an the series at the next game. The third contest was between Wahlsti-Om and Joe Dion. It was, ﬁnely played on both sides. The Swede played vigorously, and with remarkable precision. In the twelfth game the Swede started with 9, and Dion scored 22, _leaviug the balls in at roup. In his next inning the Swede increase his score to 53, and Dion enter- ed but missed his first shot, and left the balls on the edges of . the pockets. The Swede won easily. Several safety shots were pla ed in the early part Of the f0llOW1n_" game, 3.1137 for some time the l)Yi'amid was kept unbroken. The Swede ﬁnally made a ‘beautiful combination shot, and pocketed two balls, but with his next stroke he pocketed the white, leaving the balls scattered. In the four- teenth game the Swede led, and broke the yrainid. Dion followed and missed, and t ie Swede took the cue again and scored 51. Dion followed with 46, and missed On a. long liazard,_ leaving the balls ‘in a favorable position , and the Swede was again victorious. The _ ﬁfteenth was won easily by the Swede, Dion having only scored 33. The next game was an ex- tremely close and exciting one. The Swede made 48, and missed a good hazard, and Dion won amidst boisterous applause. The seventeenth game was, aftera hot ﬁght, scor- ed by the Swede, thus making eleven out of seventeen games played. The Riﬂe.

JAPANESE JOURNALISM . Sketch of the Nichi-Nichi Shimbun, the Leading Paper Of Tokio. [From the New York Evening POst.] The Niche‘-Nichz‘ Shimbun. or Daily News, the leading journal of _ the Einfire was estab- lishcd in 1872, under the new roe cm of the press granted by the liberal policy of _the re- stored Government; but it languished till 1874, when, on the return of its present editor and principal owner, G. Fukuchi, it be rain to show great prosperity. . In 1876 the .4. ugh;-. Nichi Shimbun paid thirty per centum dlV_l- dends on a capital stock of $50,000, and in 1877 thirty-seven per centum. Besides Mr. Fukuchi six editorial Writers are employed and eight. reporters. There are, moreover, regular correspondents at all points of consequence in the country. In the coni- pcsing room there are twenty compositors, a foreman and a proof-reader. PCl‘SOIlS.ClIl-- ployed in the mail section and the business departments increase the number to about eighty; and there are, moreover, some forty- ﬁve news men who distribute the edition to subscribers. The list of these varies consider- ably under laws that operate in all countries. During the late war the circulation reached a maximum of 11,000 copies ;_nOw it is about 8,700. But a third of the edition, however, IS taken up by the capital, the remainder going through the mails to other places. In local support the Nz'cht'-Niche’ falls considerably be- hind one or more of its rivals, which appeal more carefully to the prevailing sentiments and demands of the masses. To meet the re- quirements Of the newspaper and a prosper- ous job business that has grown up ten presses are employed; one a cy inder Hoe press and the rest smaller. And even the Hoe is run by hand, such motive power being found more economical than steam. Tlicn the foreman manipulates it into the shape in which the public _see it. _ Four forms are used; each eleven by sixteen inches. The ﬁrst—-that is, the last-——pa.ge is Occupied by a display head, the inforniation concerning the number Of the issue place, and date Of publi- lication, price and date of appearance, which commonly follow the title and Government no- tifications. After thesc come editorial articles and paragraphs. The last—-that is, t.he_ﬁrs_t—— page is devoted to market reports, scientific information, and advert-isenieiits, and with the oflicial editorial niatter makes up the Out- side forms, which are sent down to the press at midnight. On the “inside” we find the day’ s discoveries of the reporters and such ed- itorial articles, communications, etc., as found no corner in the Outside forms. Such is the routine “make up,” but it is elastic enough, of course, to suit the journalistic re- quirements of the day.

Next to the editorial room is located the space set aside for the composing force. First we come to the proof -readers, two intelligeiit persons who have a high reputation for schol- arship. The necessity for such attaiinnents becomes apparent when We learn that a full font of type comprises 50,000 cha.i'acf.ers_. while no less than 3,000 are in constant use and 2,000 more in frequent employment. And not only must the proof-reader be careful to amend all grammatical slips and typographical errors, but he should have a quick eye for inelegan— cies in the manuscript. and for imperfections in the characters themselves. Separated from the proof-readers by a low latticed railing is the office of the foreman , the magistrate of the cases, and beyond him again we reach the printer. The type is disposed about the room on long racks like those in a reading-roOm,and the ais cs furnish a promenade wherein the compositor can labor in his vocation and take exercise simultaneously.

There appear in June or July two sets of mosquitoes-—a. gray fellow, who stands the day watch, and a big black devil that relieves him at sundown. They cut right through an ordinary mosquito bar as if it were a piece of cobweb, and chew at their helpless victims until, as a gentleman who has had experience expressed it, “they swell up like a poisoned up.” Then a little later comes the boss ea, a muscular and pestiferous bug that takes a piece out every time he bites as big as Toothpick Ben can take out of a section of custard pie. These -nuisances hunt the human family in detachments of a couple of thousand at a time, and so thoroughly subdue the Object of their attack that 600 or 700 will hold off, seemingly with the‘ magnanimous reflection ‘ ‘He’s got enough, we can afford to let him alone. ’ ’ The favorite WateI‘I1‘l0' place of Jacksonville people in the “warm ’ summer months is 14 Ort George Beach. There is considerable ocean there and myriads of insects of all kinds, from the boss ﬂea down to the busy little ‘goat, The bathing is said to be very ﬁne, especially in the latter part of Se tember, when the pleasure- seekers have to uild four ﬁres around them to keep the mosquitos off, and get smoked to such an extent by the, expedient that their complexions on returning from the frolic closely resemble a good old ham-rind.

WASHINGTON, D. 0., April 11.--Senate—Mont- gomery Blair's resolution of the Maryland Legislature in relation to the Electoral Com- mission, presented bysenator Dennis, was re- ferred to the Judiciary Committee. The bill to repair and put in operation the Mint at New Orleans passed. The resolution of inquiry into the a.rrest of Benjamin Noyes was agreed to, and the deﬁciency appropriation bill was taken up and discussed, and a new conference or- deredl. House—A_ resolution was adopted instructing the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the alleged violation of the personal liberty of Benjamin Noyes, a citizen of Connecticut. The pension appropriation bill was discussed in Committee of the Whole and reported to the House. The amendments were concurred in, and the bill passed. The weather indications for to-day are clear or partly cloudy. GOLD in New York yesterday opened and closed at 100% . ST.

The trouble with Mr. MacAdam is that he thinks “public sentiment” exists for the sole pur- pose of keeping him in office. He will feel very sad when his nose is voted out of the ‘public crib next November. IT is the desire of the School Board author- ities that all the loan, for which they are now advertising, should be taken in St. Louis. It is not probable that they will accept bids for more than one-half the sum named in the ad- vertiscment--that is to say, for more than $150,000. We do not know of any better in- lvestment than they offer. It is secured, not only by valuable property, but by constitu- tional provision. There is no more risk than there is in Government bonds. We trust our local ﬁnanciers will see that it is to their in- terest not to allow any of this loan to go to any other market. AMONG the most important items relative to the Eastern question telegraphed yesterday is the fact that in the annex to Gortschakoff’s reply to Lord Salisbury, he reiterates his wish that England should make counter proposals to the clauses embraced in the treaty of San Stefano. This is considered inadmissible in London, probably upon the ground that the Whole or any change in the public law of Europe, as established in 1856, should ema- nate from the whole body of the Powers, and not be proposed at the initiative of one only. If Russian diplomacy were more trusted, this objection could probably be easily removed. As it is, however, it stands in the way of an agreement. Meanwhile, both Russia and England are hastening their preparations, the latter re-enforcing her Mediterranean squad- ron and sending out steam launches and tor- pedo boats. A BROOKLYN Alderman died one day last week, and his associates in the City Govern- ment felt called upon to attend" his funeral wit.h becoming dignity. Perhaps the fact that he was the ﬁrst Alderman they had ever known to die in office had some inﬂuence in helping them to the determination that his ob- sequies be made conspicuous. ‘They bought 111 pairs of black kid gloves, costing $194, and with this somber addition to their wardrobe took the customary hacks to the cemetery. On Tuesday last the bill for these gloves was pre- sented and allowed by the Board of Aldermen. The City of Brooklyn is loaded with debt, and _ its obligations are being increased at the rate of $1,800,000 per year. In view of these facts, one would think that the city oﬁicials might have bought their own gloves, if it was VI an absolute necessity that they should wear gloves at all. Foolish people who imagine that it would be a good thing if some of our extra officials would “pass in their checks” may as well abandon that delusion: even in death they are costly. ANOTHER wail over the law’ s delay reaches us-——this time from Texas, where the estab- lishment of. additional courts of justice seems to have become an absolute necessity. The San Antonio Express has examined the im- mense number of causes before the Supreme and Appellate Courts, and says that, under the present system, both Courts will always be between 200 and 300 cases in arrcar of the docket. This may be an exaggeration; but it certainly indicates a state of things which is neither more nor less than a direct denial of justice and law. THE BANKRUPT LAW. N ow that the House of Representatives has disposed of the all-absorbing question as to who should be Mr. Polk’ s successor as Door- keeper, we trust that the statesmen of that body will give immediate attention to the bill for the repeal of the odious bankrupt act. It is almost impossible to account for Congres- sional inaction in this matter. There is no other subject of large interest on which the best people of the country are so nearly unan- imous as this. Every honest business man, whether he be debtor or creditor, asks that this law shall be repealed as soon as possible. The only classes that wish it to remain upon the statute books are dishonest debtors, greedy lawyers and overpaid ofﬁcials. To all of these it is a bonanza, but it is death to all legitimate business enterprise. There are Registers in ‘Bankruptcy who are making from $30,000 to $50,000 ayear out of their offices, and the country is full of professional assignees who rank next to the Registers in the amount of their gains. The extraordinary fees allowed these officials, and their well-known greed in swallowing the assets of a bankrupt, make the operations of the law about as fair and proﬁtable to the creditors as the adjudications usually practiced by Italian brigands or Texas train-robbers. It is by no means an uncom- mon occurrence for the total property of a bankrupt to be swallowed up in the process of settlement. The Federal fee ﬁends are no less grasping than their municipal brethren. The present law was enacted in 1862, and many people have been led to imagine that it is in some way intended as a protection to honest debtors and creditors. Nothing can be farther from the truth.‘ The notion has also grown up in uninformed minds’ that we can not get along without some kind of bankrupt law, and that instead of repealing this we should labor to have it amended. Since the organization of our Government the constitu- tional power to pass a bankrupt act has been exercised three times. The ﬁrst bill became a law in 1800, and after a trial of less than four Si.

Again he managed to escape the doom that was so justly his, and it is his speech, intended to stimulate the Com- munists, that has just been published. It is true that in it he does not advocate the immediate slaughter of the best people of the country in which he is unfortunately a refu- gee, but he plainly expresses sentiments which must lead, if they prevail, to scenes like those which almost destroyed Paris seven years ago. He declares that it is the people in arms who are free, and applauds Blanqui’S words, ‘ ‘Get lead and you will have bread. ’ ’ Many men imagine that these Communists are willing to admit that the French Republic is one great step to perfect liberty, but he repu- diates it as bitterly as the empire itself, and in words that point as directly to our own in- stitutions as to those upon the banks of the Seine. This he emphasizes by referring to the railway riots of last year in the following lan- guage: ' . The workingmen of Pittsburg proved recently that the people everywhere stand on the plat- form of the right to live, and that the idea of the great social revolution had been implanted in American soil. ' N ow let the people do their duty. Citizens, the frightful crisis through which we are passing shows in the clearest fashion that only revolution can‘ give to the producer that which belongs to him of right. In fact, men like Megy are enemies of the whole human race, and in a country like this their wildest schemes, if once attempted to be illustrated by action, should be nipped in the bud. We don’t_believe for a moment that the existing fabric of society in America is resting upon the crater of a volcano, but it is well known that there are Communists in every great city in America, and although all of American birth, at least would be among the ﬁrst to denounce such murders and atrocities as those in which Megy glories, and which he thinks necessary for the full accomplishment of his theories, yet it is dangerous that such advocacy should be allowed to be entirely forgotten. The ﬁre which mined _the railway depots at Pittsburg and the cannon which were brought up against the round house’ plainly prove the latentexistence of passions which, in a period of suffering or great excitement, may pass beyondcontrol, and terminate even more disastrously than in the summer of last year. It is never wise to ignore the presence of any force, either active or potential, in society, and it is certainly worthy of record that such a speech as that we have alluded to should have been delivered so lately in New York. When the proceedings in the hall were over, it is only fair to_ imagine Megy and his chief adherents retiring to'some smaller room, to discuss the possibilities and the plans for the erection of ‘barricades at some future time——and in their heated imaginations a near one—-in New York itself. They are men who, for the fulﬁllment of their plans ,would shrink from the infliction of no suffering however years was repealed. A second law of a simi- lar nature was enacted in 1841 and repealed in 1843, experience having demonstrated that it did far more harm than good. Neither of these statutes was so harmful as the present law, which has now been in force for sixteen years, and which from the ﬁrst has been a premium on rascality and a clog on honest commercial enterprise. * It seems almost incredible that a measure so harmful in its nature, and so universally condemned, should be kept in force so long. The House, during the Forty-fourth Congress, by more than two-thirds majority, passed a terrible, the perpetuation of no crime how- ever hideous. CHILDREN AND HEALTH. Dr. Richardson, an eminent London physi- cian and writer upon medical and what may be called medico-social topics, has recently contributed a very thoughtful paper to one of the English magazines upon the subject of Learning and Health. The article is the more valuable, not merely because it comes from so high an authority—-a. man, like Dr. Ham- mond, of New York, esteemed and quoted on both sides of the Atlantic—but also because bill for its repeal, but it was smothered in the Senate. It is quite evident that a majority of both Houses now are in favor of the repeal bill reported by the Judiciary Committee, and that it will be passed if it is ever reached. The men who are making fortunes out of the’ law’s corrupt workings recognize this fact, » and are doing what they can to delay the bill for its repeal; and it is by no means cer- tain that they will. not succeed. Hence it behooves all honest business men to put forward their best energies to has- ten Congressional action. In many other cities resolutions have been adopted by Boards of Trade demanding the repeal of the act,and it is time for like action to be taken in St. Louis. Our Chamber of Commerce should move in this matter,and their efforts should be seconded by letters and petitions from our business men and leading citizens, addressed to our mem- bers._ The session is rapidly drawing to a close, and a number of the most important ap- propriation bills are yet to be passed. The tariff bill, if not killed in the House within a few days, will take up several weeks, and an attempt to re-enact the income-tax law may cause prolonged debate. All these things Work against the repeal of the bankrupt act, and it is only by impressing upon the Congres- sional mind the stern necessity that calls for prompt action in this case, that anything may be hoped for at the present session. MEGY, THE COMMUNIST. The full text of the speech delivered by the infamous Edmond Megy, at the Beethoven Hall banquet in New York, at the latter end of last month, has been published in pamphlet form, and is to be sold for the beneﬁt of the French prisoners in New Caledonia. Megy, in his youth, had been tried for murder and sent to the galleys. By some means or other he escaped, and after a long career of the worst crimes, found himself in Paris at the outbreak of the Commune, on the 13th of March, 1871. His want of military education unﬁtted him for such commands as were given to such men as Cluseret, Dombrowski and the misguided young Rossel; but his whole life of vice and recklessness made him an apt and willing instrument for carrying into execution enormities which those men would have prob- ably refused to sanction. He was a willing agent of. such men as Raoul, Rigault and Fetre, and, on the 24th of March, it was he who commanded the party of ruffians who, in the ‘prison of La Roquette, shot in cold blood Monseigneur Darboy, the Archbishop of Paris; the Abbe Deguerre, cure of the Madeleine; the Abbe Allard, member of the International Society for the Aid of the Wounded, and other priests and gentlemen. Thus Megy was cruel and bloodthirsty to the last, for the Commune was already in its death throes. The orders had already been given for the destruction of the public edi- ﬁces. Some of the noblest buildings in Paris were on ﬁre; there were ﬂames all over La Villette, at Belleville and on the Buttes- Chaumont, and with bottles of petroleum in their arms, or concealed in their clothing, the female ﬁends in human form—-the Petro- Zeuses—-were adding fuel to the ﬂame, and spreading it into quarters it had not yet the writer is clearly no mere theorist, no en- thusiast laboring for the demolition of some special wrong or for the support of some par- ticular plan. The doctor writes calmly, but he has the courage of his opinions, and while lamenting the unnatural forcing house, which he considers the present system of education, before the brain is Suﬂiciently old and strong to bear it, he says: '_ To me it falls to oppose the present system of modern education as destructive of vital ac- tivity, and, thereby, of strength of mental growth. It is my business to declare that at this time health and education are not going hand in hand; that the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint. ‘ The shadows from the present vicious sys- tem, according to. Dr. Richardson, are deep- ening and broadening daily, and the ﬁrst se- rious and most rapidly increasing evil consists in a too early subjection of pupils to study. It is objected that children are even taught lessons from books long before they learn properly how to play,and that against the protests of Nature herself. For a child under seven years of age the doctor thinks that all instruction should be given through the me- dium of play. This would appear prima facie an argument in favor of the kinder- garten system, and so in a degree it is, but in a degree only, for kindergartens are passed by, not so much even as named, and garden schools are advocated where nearly all the teaching and all the play proper can be carried on in ample space and in the open air. The fact is that unless the rooms for the ordinary city kindergarten are specially constructed for the purpose and provided upon the most sci- entiﬁc principles, with propcr facilities for air and ventilation, they are but hot-beds of dis- ease. To the non-professional, often, indeed, to the professional and maternal, eye, the evil thus engendered is invisible; but it is latent in both brain and frame, and shows its effects in after life. There are but very few children precocious like Mozart who ever arrive at real distinction, and Mozart himself died young. Speaking of childrenovertrained and over- taught at too early an age, our author draws a sad picture. He says: These precocious, coached-up children are never well. Their mental excitement keeps up aﬁush, which, like the excitement caused by strong drink in older children ,looks like health, but has no relation to it. If you look at the tongues of these children, you see them to be furred, or covered with many red points like a strawberry, or to be too red and very dry. If you inquire into the state of their appetite, you ﬁnd that the appetite is capricious; that strange foods are asked for,and that the stomach never seems to be in order. If you watch the face for long, you note that the frequent ﬂush gives place to an unearthly paleness. If you watch the eyes ,you perceive that they gleam with light at one time, and are dull, depressed and sad at another, while they are never laughing eyes. Their brightness is the brightness of thought on the strain—-an evanescent and dangerous phe- nomenon. If you feel the muscles, they are thin and ﬂabby, though in some instances they may fairly be covered with fat. If you inquire into the sleep these children get, you hear that it is disturbed, restless, and sometimes broken. In the huge hive of human beings called London the children living there all the year round, in so far as health is concerned, may be classiﬁed primarily into three great divis- ions-the children of the poor, of the middle trading classes, and of the well-to-do. The _ reached. Mcgy was the active ally of these L first. whoplay in the open streets and round the squares, present the best specimens of health in the whole child community. Some of them, although they may live in courts and alleys, are singularly healthy, and their health is owing to their free and open-air life. Next in the scale come the children of the well-to-do, who are taken out for walks and drives in the public parks, and gardens, or who spend half the day under the care of the nurse beneath the trees in the’ square playing about the grass. These little ones free from long lessons are very bright and healthy. The children of the third class are the most unhealthy of all. Their parents live too rare- ly in the neighborhood of one of the numer- ous squares, scarcely any of them near the parks, and not unnaturally will not allow them to run wild in the streets. If there are many in the family there are not servants enough to send out for hours at a time, as frequently as health demands, in charge in the open air, and the consequence is that they are kept too closely at home over their books or ' sent too early to school. They are ‘ ‘pale, mus- cularly feeble and depressed in mind. They grow up irresolute and yield alarge-—by far the largest—number who make up the death- roll of diseases, of fatal diseases known as pulmonary consumption. ’ ’ As a movement seems now to be on foot thoroughly to examine and, if possible, to im- prove our school system, the opinions of such a man as the physician from whom we have quoted deserve the closest and most thought- ful consideration. It is all very well for the principals and teachers of our schools to en- deavor to instill all proper knowledge into the minds of those committed to their charge, but common voice of the community which directs them should be wiser than they, and take care -lest overtraining and teaching, particularly in early years, and making the young brain fe- verish and wanting in the powers of concen- tration by a multiplicity of subjects, should rear up a race of children, who, if they sur- vive the unnatural st-rain, will grow up to be the weak fathers and enfeeblcd mothers of the next generation.

[From the Chicago Daily Ncws.] There seems to be a desire on the part of a number of the most prominent Republican newspapers in the country to keep down the Grant-in-1880 feeling as much as possible. And there seems also to be a desire on the part of some of the most prominent Republican news- papers in the country to keep the Grant-in-1880 feeling before the public very conspicuously. The papers last alluded to are considerably in advance of the others, and it has become very evident within the past few months that Gen. Grant will be the next Republican candidate for the Presidency. It is very evident, also, that Gen. Grantis the strongest man the Republi- cans can put up, and likewise, it is evident, that unless the Bourbon element in the Demo- cratic party be choked off effectually within the next three years, Gen.

LONDON,April 11 .——GOrtschakoff has requested the Roumanian Government to repress the bitter tone of the press regarding Bessarabia and two years’ occupation of Bulgaria. The ultimate effect of Gortsch akoff’s circular is not reassuring. It is pointed out here that the Government can not accept the invitation to formulate counter-proposals. That question must be settled by the Powers jointly. In Vienna, where only a telegraphic summary has yet been received, the most serious deduction is that the hope heretofore held out from St. Petersburg of a renewal of the conference nego- tiations is not conﬁrmed by Gortscha.kOff’s cir- cular, which says nothing about accepting‘ England’s condition for going to the Con- gress. Without some such concessions on the part of Russia, no step can be taken towards a peaceful settlement. The suddenness with which the circular was telegraphed to London during the debate on the address to the Queen, excites remark. A special edition of the Times, containing it, was issued about 8 o'clock Tuesday night. Sir lVm. Vernon Har- court and Leonard Henry Courtney, Liberals, distributed the papers in the House of Com- mons. The text Of the circular was published in the original French. The inference is that the circular was specially framed with a view of inﬂuencing public Opinion there, and hur- ried into the hands of the members of Parlia- ment, in the hope of affecting the vote on the address.

The intention is to supply each vessel of the ﬂeet with at least two torpedo boats. Additional thirty-eight-ton guns are also shipping for the Mediterranean from the London Docks. THE WARLIIIE PREPARATIONS of the Russians and Turks about Constanti- nople continue.

INSPECTING THE TURKISH DEFENSES. ‘LONDON, April 11.——A special from San Stef- ano says the Grand Duke Nicholas and Gene. Gourko, Skobeleff, Nepokoitchitzky, ShOuva1- Off and Levitsky, with a large staff and an es- cort of ﬁfty cavalry, yesterday visited the prin- cipal defensive works lately commenced by the Turks between San Stefano and Constantinople," and then embarked on board the imperial yacht Livadia, for the city.

It is rumored that Osman Pasha order- ed the construction Of the works without the knowledge of Reouf Pasha, the ‘Var Minister. RE-ENFORCEMENTS FOR TIIESSALY.

The circular says: ‘ ‘Russia can onl reiterate the declaration that each power, ussia included, would have full liberty of appreciation and of action.” UNDER GERMANY’S INFLUENCE. ST.

LONDON, April 12.—The Daily Tele mph has the following special: Vienna, Thurs ay, mid- night.—I learn that an Official dispatch has been received from Berlin to the ef- fect that Prince Bismarck, in conse- quence ’Of the news from St. Petersburg., considers it possible that a preliminary confer- ence of Embassadors resident there might be held to-day or to-morrow. A special from Vienna says: The Porte has asked Austria what would happen if Russia in- s1sted_On enforcing the treaty of San Stefano. Austr1a_ replied that she would not protect Eu- ropean mterests single-handed, but would pro- tect her Own interests Inost effectively. Berlin dispatch says there is active compe- tition between Russia and England in charter- ing steamers at German ports. Two steamers chartered by Russia have left Hamburg, with sealed Orders. A Vienna ‘dispatch says Russia’s answer to Austria‘ consisted of verbal conﬁdential as- surances. The .correspondent's informant said that Austr1a’s position was not such as to involve the question of’ peace or war. The correspondent believes this collapse of all serious opposition on the part of Austria 13 due to an autograph letter . from the Czar to the Emperor Francis Joseph, and partly, also, to a remark made by the United States Minister to Russia, while in Vienna, that the Czar was disposed to make Im- portant concessions. England. DISGRACEFUL SCENES AT LEITRIM’S FUNERAL. LONDON, April 11.—The scenes at Lord Lei- trim's funeral in Dublin, yesterday, were very disgraceful. The mob that gathered in front of the church endeavored to capture the hearse, declaring their intention to drag out p the corpse. They vituperated the late Earl as an “old rufllan” and a “heretic.” They also climbed the wall of the church yard,j‘ostled the mourners and cheered, yelled and hissed dur- ing the reading of the scrvice_. - Several mourn- ers were roughly handled while endeavoring to make their way into the churchyard, and all of them had to pass out by an unfreqented we. in the rear to escape violence. F1tty_ Consta les were present, but wholl I insufficient to cope with the mob, many of W 10111 were drunk. THE EARL’S ECCENTRICITIES. To the Editor of the New York Herald: It may be interesting to make known that tl1e assassination of the Earl of Leitrim, which was yesterday recorded, was the result of a feeling entirely personal to himself , and is not by any means the symbol of any Organized system of agrarian outrage. Lord Leitrim was, for the last thirty years, more or less out of his mind, and at intervals committed acts which only make it wonderful that he did not earlier meet the dreadful fate which has befallen him. For some time, as Lord Clements, he represented Leitrim in the House of Commons on the Lib- oral side as a follower of Mr. O'Connell, but he broke into wild acts and expressions which made necessary his retirement from the House. He subsequently was,removed from the Deputy Lieutenancy and commission of the peace for similar Outbreaks, and has acquired a notoriety in Leitrim, where his property is chieﬂy situ- ated, for atrocities which would rival those of Bulgaria. At the same time, like men of un governed and misdirected tempers, he was ca pable of kind and gentle acts when the better teeling seized him. He has frequently allowed his rents to go uncollected for two _or three years, and then of a sudden would swoop down with some arbitrary edict and beset with evic tion all who disputed his will. When LOrdCar -lisle, as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, ’ so pleasantly remembered here as Lord Morpeth, was travelin through the western highlands O Galway, in which Lord Leitrim held considerable prop- erty, he issued a ukase to all the hotel propri- etors on his estate not to receive him or any of his suite under pain of eviction. It was his habit to act as his own bailiff, and on horse- back, alone and armed to the teeth, to carry out those processes of law which even under the severest necessity are so ainful to a tender nature. His tenantry in Leitrim and Galway bore with his savage freaks with the greatest forbearance, believing him to be irresponsible for many of his acts. But to Derry, where the murder was committed, he was comparat-ivelg. a stranger, his property there being very small, and it will dou tless be found he has com- mitted some terrible act of tyranny to I‘0~ voke such a crime in a region in w iich agrarian outrage has hitherto been wholly un- known.. His brother, the Hon. Charles Clem ents, who died within the last year, was for many years member for Leitrim, and held the osition of Poor Law Commissioner in Ireland. is nephew, now Earl, visited this country some three years since in connection with the Emma Mine, in com any with Mr. Brydges Williams, member of arliameut for Cornwall, and Mr. Laurence, author of ‘ ‘Guy Living stone.’ ’ He will be a. vast improvement on his uncle in the management of the Leitrim es tates. For the rest, the most pity will be felt for the innocent clerk and driver, who fell, as Scott pictures them, and as most Celtic servants do, in devotion to their master to the last.

How a Texas Bull Laid Claim to the Title. Particulars of the Recent Encounter, in Which 9 Lioness Came Out Second Best. '__..._......__.._...._.-—-———-- [From the San Antonio Express.) Never, perhaps, since the days when im- perial Rome was in the ‘zenith of her military renown,’ and the fame of her gladiators rang throughout the whole world——when from her Coliseum there went up groans of wounded and dying animals and men, trained to ﬁght to the death-—has there occurred a similar scene to that witnessed yesterday by 800 persons. 8-1 the amphitheater constructed especially for the purpose, about one and a half miles west ' of the Mission Concep- tion, and three miles distant from this city's limits. It had been so well adver- tised, and was altogether so novel, not to say highly exciting a performance, that the promi- nent journals of the East, West and South thong It proper to have special correspondents on the ground, such as the New York World, New York Herald, Chicago Times, New Orleans . Times, New York Graphic, and Mr. Jacobson, our enterprising photographer, representing Harper's Weekly, having apparatus upon the ground, improved. his Opportunities so Well ten of the contending animals in the most criti- cal moments of the combat. The Express, Her- ald and Coumler, of this city, also had reporters On-the spot. Indeed, if we may judge from the number of note-takers there, this contest will go into history as one of the most exciting on record. An effort was made to stop the bloody conflict, and the matter went to the Courts, where the decision was in favor of_ the ﬁght coming off, Outside the city‘ limits. While cock-pit Seances are permitted to be held under the very shadows of the churches- a sport which all who have witnessed It de- clare to be fully as objectionable, from a moral stand-point, as lion-and-bull combats, the managers ‘Of the am )hitheate_r could not see why they should not e permitted to perform also within the cit I limits But,s1nce the decis- ion was again st t em, they moved .Outs_1de the limits, engaged a great number of vehicles of every kind to carry ticket-hOlders_to the amphi- theater free of charge, and thus Increased the desire‘ of the already excited crowds on our streets to WITNESS THE ENTERTAINMENT. At 12 m. the gate was thrown open, but the seats ﬁlled slowly till about 3 p. m., when a steady stream of visitors of both sexes poured in and increased the attendance to about 800. There were seats for between 3,000 and 4,000 people. The Germania Band had arrived on the ground early, and discoursed its most stir- ring melodies. The cage where the 11011 and lioness were confined was surrounded by a throng of excited lookers-on, who alter- nated between taking a. squint at them and measuring the power and courage of that noble- looking specimen of a Texas bull, wlnch so quietly grazed about in the great iron cave and strode hither and thither or reclined with the utmost unconcern as to what the evenm might bring forth. At 5 o'clock the back end O the ea c containing the lionsiwas closed up to the gate 0% the grand cage, and the bars removed. The bull is a powerfully’-built animal of 1118 species, with horns about ‘sixteen inches each in len th, c1u'ving slightly inward, and having very S Iarp ends. The lioness, Jennie, is about seventeen years Old, a small specimen, In poor condition, and from long conﬁnement was no doubt, as she looked to be, too weak for the encounter. After a few moments of delay, she bounded through the Open door of her cage, avoid- ing the bull at ﬁrst, but suddenly coming upon. him from behind, she bit his leg and attempt- ed at the same moment to leap upon him. But b a well-directedkick,accompanied by a snort of terror, the bull sprawled the lioness, and, turning,‘ charged upon her and tossed her against the side of the cage, shaking it so V10- lcntly that many of the excited visitors prepar- ed to leap from their seats and take to the cha . paral . Retiring a few steps the bull seem- ed L esirous of making his escape. The lioness then took several turns around the Open space, c ing the bull as if she had rather not tackle 11 In again; but, being aggravated from the Outside with poles, she turned, and the bull, perceiving her determination to attack, made another Onset and held her to the earth, with HER BODY BETWEEN HIS HORNS,_ she attempting with all her might, but Ineffec- tually, to leap upon his neck and fasten her teeth and claws into his body. This lasted but a few Seconds, when the bull, by a powerful wrench, caught one horn under her throat and lifted her from the ground as easily as a cat would have lifted a mouse, she giving vent at the same time to a smothered roar. I‘he lion- (:83 then retreated to the other side of the cage, and leaped up and down against the bars In a vain endeavor to (vet away from her powerful antagonist and his led the ground with her tail in a frenzy of rage and despair. The bull, squaring himself and fixing his gaze on the lioness, again charged. her and butted her against the side of the cage , disabling her so much that she (‘.()1ll(1 not rise, and lay p antinzz‘ . apparently dying. The bull retired a few stops. when the attend- ants threw water in the face of the lioness. She he horned her twice in quick succession, ap- pearing to pass his horns through her bOd_y,a_nd walked Over her as she lay pi-o'stra.te, kicking at her the while. Blood issuing from her mouth, and she being unable to rise, notwithstandin the efforts to rouse her, the audience, Inost O Whom had run forwards Or were standing on their seats, in great oxcitemexit -yelled, “Save ' the lioness! save the lioness!” which was al- most immediatcly done by inserting planks between her and the side of the cage. At this juncture the band struck up a lively strain, and amid lmrralis for the bull, men mounted the cage with ropes in hand and lariated the bull, finally l(*.:l.Cllll_1,"1llll1 from the arena. In iassing out, he had to approach the cage 0 the lion, “Old George,” and on seeing him made a tremendous dash at the ‘ ‘king of beasts,” nearly upsetting the cage in which he was conﬁned. - In the entire. encoun- ter the bull did not receive ascratch, while the lioness, on being examined, was found to have been but slightly wounded in the tongue by the bull's hOrn,_and will soon recover. It is proper to say in this connection that the ma- jority Of those who were present were not c1t1- zens of San Antonio. Those of our residents who did go were led to do so at the last mo- ment, by curiosity. The main attendance was from the country adjacent. Our citizens, as a. mass, are far from looking with favor upon such entertainments. ‘ DUNN VS. THE C.‘I'J.‘Y. A Lamplighter Sues on an Account of Long Standing. The suit of Chas. G. Dunn against the city was taken up for trial yesterday before Judge Wickham. Ten or -twelve years ago Mr. Dunn was the contractor for lighting and clcanirl g the street lamps, an_d received a certain price per lamp by the year. He made monthly reports to the City Engineer of the numbcr_ of lamps lighted, and his accounts were C(3l't1llC(l by that ofiicer.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL. ,Api-il 1l.—The Democratic State Convention, which assembled here to- day, was one of the largest, and, in personnel, one of the best gatherings of the party that ever assembled in Illinois. The Convention as- sembled at noon in Representatives’ Hall, over 500 delegates being present. Gen. J. C. Black, of Champaign, the temporary Chairman, made a very encouraging speech, giving voice to the opinion which generally seemed to obtain, that on a greenback platform and with good candi- dates there was hope for the carrying of Illi- nois by the Democrats. The morning session thus perfected the temporary organization and committees were appointed. That on Platform was headed by W. C. Goudy, of Chicago. THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

THE PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. The Convention reassembled at 2 :30, and the Committee on Credentials reported all counties represented, and over 500 delegates pres- ent. The Committee on Permanent Organiza- tion reported the following peiunanent oﬁicers: President, Senator M. W. Robinson, Cook County, with one Vice President from each Congressional District; Secretaries, Frank Law- lcr, Cook Count ;T. F. Bouton, of Union, and H. Sutton, of lark. In assumin the Chair Senator Mike Robinson spoke brie y, counsel- in harmony, and (predicting the success of the tie et. He prove avery arbitrary presiding Oﬁicer, and his rul n ;s, es ecially toward the close of the session, eiicite much disfavor. THE NOMINATIONS. The Committee on Platform delayed its re- port, and it was decided to proceed with the nominations for State Treasurer and Superin- tendent of Public Instruction. Southern Illi- nois has usually claimed the Treasurship, and might have been accorded it if united on one candidate, but there were two from that see- tion—M. M. Pool, a wealthy banker ‘of Shaw- neetown, bein backed by his brother-in-law, Con essuian ' ownshend, who was present on the oor of the Convention, and ex-COngress- man Sam. Marshall; but Hon. W. R. Prickett, of Madi-‘on, though less pretentiously backed, , o a larger vote, and would have suc- ceeded ii LIIC pool men had come to his sup- port; but this unity was lacking, and the nomi- nation went to Stephenson County, toward Northern Illinois, being conferred on Hon. E. L. Cronkeyle, who has been a legislator six ‘years, and all the time looking 'I‘reasuryward. The oﬁice of School Superintendent was evi-. dently regarded as much less important, and was conferredoii the present incumbent, S. M. Etter, of McLean, who had no strong 0 posi- tion after the Chicago delegation deserte their nominee. Etter was the non T Lee of the Grang- ers in 1874, and,.being indor ed by the Demo- crats then, was elected. This year he refused the nomination of the Nationals, in favor of the Democratic nomination. He is a pro- nounced Democrat. CONVICT LABOR. The usual resolution against convict labor competition at the Penitentiary was offered, and referred to the Committee on Resolutions, by whom it was subsequently favorably re- gorted. The Committee on Platform, b Mr. oudy, of Chicago, submitted the plat orm, with numerous resolutions as addenda. Op- ponents of the latter demanded‘ a division, and got it, but both platform and resolutions easily went through. THE PLATFORM. The following is the platform and resolutions: The Democracy of the State of Illinois, as- sembled in convention, con ratulate the coun- try on the ﬁnal settlement 0 - questions result- ing from the late civil war upon principles of local self - government so Ion supported by the Democratic party, and rea rm conﬁdence in the capacity of the people to govern themselves, and their belief in the supremacy of civil over military power, the liberty of individual action uncontrolled by sumptuary laws, the separa- tion of Church and State, su port of free com- mon schools, and 'tlie dut 0 all to yield to the lawfully expressed will 0 the majority; and we ‘ declare 1. That reform must be made in national, State, county and municipal government, by reduction of taxes and expenditure, dismissal of unnecessary and incompetent officers and employes from ublic service, and strict en- forcement of official res onsibility, and that rovisions of the State Constitution limiting debtedness and rate of taxation shall be strictly observed and enforced. 2. That a tariff, for revenue only should be -adopted, and, if discrimination is made, it should be in favor of the necessaries of life, and, in order to remove a part of the burden from the mass of the people, who are taxed too much, a graduated tax on incomes over a reas- onable sum for support ought to be ado ted and laced upon t c surplus proﬁts of the wealt iy, who escape their just proportion of taxation. , . 3. We favor United States bonds and Treas- ury notes being subjected to taxation the same as other property. 4. All contracts ought to be performed in good faith accordin to the terms thereof, and obvlvitgations of the ‘overnment discharged in la ul money,except_where Otherwise express- ldv provided upon their face, . and b I the law un- er which they were issued, an repudiation should ﬁnd no favor with an honorable people. 5. It is unwise to make any further reduction of the principal of the public debt for the pres- ent, and bonds as they mature, or sooner, if possible, should be replaced by issue of other onds bearing a lower rate of interest. It is the duty of the Federal Government to issue bonds in small denominations to be sold in this coun- try_ for the accommodation of those who wish to invest savings in safe securities. _6._ That we favor the immediate and uncon- ditional repeal of the resum tion act. 7. We ap laud the action 0 Congress in the en- actment o the silver bill and accept it as a partial measure of financial relief ,but we demand such further legislation as may result in authorizing silver bullion certiﬁcates and legalizing free coin age of the silver dollar, the demonetization of which we denounce as an act meriting the condemnation of the people. 8. It is the exclusive prerogative of the Uni- ted States to issue all bills to circulate as money, and a right which on 1it_not to be exercised by any State or corporat on. ' 9. No further contraction of the volume of legal tender Treasury notes ought to be allow- e , and they should be received for customs, taxes, and public dues as well as private debts, and reissued as fast as received. 10. The national bank notes should be re- tired, aiid instead of them there should be is- sued by the Government an equal amount of '.[‘i'easury notes. . ll. Subsidies in money, bonds, lands or credit, ought not to be granted by the Federal Government. 12. The bankrupt law ought to be immediately repealed. 13. Courts should be brought as close to the homes of litigantsas economy in the Govern- ment will justify and that therefore judicial power of the United States should be so regu- ated as to prevent, in controversies between different States, the transfer of cases from State to inferior Courts which are _so far removed from the people as to make justice therein inconvenient, expensive andhtardy._ N ot less_than $5,000 should be ﬁxed as e I111n1lIlum' jurisdiction of such Courts in sulih Cg‘l]).tI'OVel‘S1eS. - 10 8 Dointment o%’o...........*:z *.‘;:§:2:.2;1,%;‘.:::::§ Of I39-X93» disrega-I'd the rights of citizens and turn the earnings of copporations into foreign channels, is an evil that ought to be corrected law Congress ought to enact such laws as w pro. hibit such evils and prevent the interference by Federal Courts with collection of State county and municipal taxes by a.ppointmen’t of re. ceivers, granting injunctions or other proceed. ure. 15. The_wag_es_ of employes of corporations engaged in mining, manufacturing and trans. portation should be made a first lien upon the property, receipts and earnings of said corpo. ration, and that said lien should be declared, éleﬁned and enforced by appropriate legisla- 1011. 16. The system of leasin convi tl b to be immediately abolis ed byc thae (fie:-i1s°}§i ture, and some measure adopted to protect man- ufacturers, mechanics and laborers from un- jcustt competition with the convict labor of other ‘ a es. THE PRESIDENCY. In addition to the above which was submit- ted as the platform, the following resolutions were adopted: . Resolved, That the acts of the leaders of the Republican part in dcfcatin the choice of the people or President an Vice President, is the monster political crime of the age; is a crime against free government and the elective franchise, which can onl be condoned when the criininals are driven from power and con- signed to infamy by the people whom they have outraged, and we denounce the . act of the President in $113 ; pointing to high oﬂi cos the curlfpt members of the Returning Board as a I'cW11l'd for their infamous conduct, and we crolidenm Oﬂicers of the Federal Government who have of justice in the Courts of Louisiana. _ Resolved, That it is the duty of our Legisla- turc to enact laws for the protection of de os_its in savings and all other banks, and for t Ie iii- carceration of defaulting bank oilicers. Also, a resolution denouncing contracts recently made by the J oliet Penitentiary Conimissioiicrs for building the Eastern Insane Asylum. ‘ ‘ ‘BEN. BUTLER." Hon. W. W. O-’Brien, of Chicago, under a question of privilege, sent up the following res- olution: Resolved, That the thanks of the Democracy of Illinois are due, and are hereby tendered to, Hon. Wm. M. Springer, member of Congress from the Twelfth District, Illinois, for his late wise, manly and patriotic action in supportin the gallant soldier, honest, upright citizen an unswerving Democrat Gen. James Shields, for Dooi-keeper of the House of Representatives, at Washington. Upon the reading of the resolution great commotion ensued, and cries of “Ben Butler” went up from one part of the house. A motion to adjourn was shouted, and the Chair arbitra- rily declarcd the shout to have carried it. The ‘Convention adjourned in considerable confu- sion. ‘ SPRINGER THANKED. Subsequently the Chicago and Cook County delegation met, and adopted the resolution by a unanimous vote. The State Central Commit- tee met to-night, established headquarters at S ringﬁeld, chose ex-Congressman McNcl1y, of II enard, as Chairman, and A. Oreiidori , of Springﬁeld, as Secretary. An . executive com- mittee was also appointed to push campaign cral satisfaction, although the rejection of a candidate whose military record was urged is commented upon. The Democratic Judicial Convention. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. SPRINGFIELD, ILL. , April 1l.—The Convention of Delegates to the Democratic Judicial Con- vention to nominate candidates for Appellate Court Clerkship, -Tliird District, and Supreme Court Clerkship, met at Representatives’ Hall at 10 a. m. Hon. S. P.Cummings,of Fulton, was chosen Chairman, and Messrs. J . M. Bush, of Pike, and Pliocion Howard, of Douglas, as Secretaries. The nominees for Supreme Court Clerk were M. W. Easle , of Cass; A. M. Mar- tin, of Morgan; J . H. I" avinghorst, of Mason, and E. A. Snively, of Macoupiii. Latter was nominated on the fourth ballot. For Appellate Court Clerk, Col. Jones of Pike was nominated on the sixteenth ballot, over Merritt, of Sanga- _mon; Head, of Adams; Recks, of Christian; Bandy, of Daiiville; Hyer, of DeWitt, Ind Wright, of Menard. Convention adjourned. The Quincy Republicans. Special Dispatch to the Glo‘.’;-.-Democrat. QUINCY, ILL. , April Il.—Tlie Republican City Convention met to-night and nominated can- didates for city offices. W. T. Rogers is the candidate for Mayor against E. H. Turner, Democrat. The Republicans never before took so great _an interest in a city election. The house was crowded. Many Democrats are dis- satisﬁed with some of their nominations. The feeling among them is very bitter. Whether they will be whipped into the traces by Monday next, when the election takes place, remains to be seen. There is a strong disposition on all sides‘ to ignore politics and go for the best men. Realizing this the Republicans have put up their best men and have placed the Democratic nominee for Attorney, Wm. A. Richardson, son of the late ex-Senator Richardson, and Treas- urer, A. J . F. Prevost, on their ticket. ’ Cronin’s Comrades . patch says the State Democratic Convention nominated the following ticket this afternoon: Congress, Jno. W. Whitaker, of Lane County; tary of State, Thos. G. Reams, Jackson; State Treasurer, A. H. Brown, Baker; State Printer, A. N oltiier, Maltomah; Superintendent Public Instruction, Joseph Emery, Benton.

Afflicted from Childhood, Suffers Truss Tor- ture--Hears of Dr. Sherman, Goes to Him --What His Treatment Has Done. To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat: I was a victim of rupture for many years, in fact as far back as I can remember, and was compelled to use trusses all the time from which I was greatly annoyed. Fortunately, Mr. enry Gelyhauser, of the uth Market, strong] recommended me to go to Dr. J . A. Sherman, 5 Sou 11 Fifth street, telling me that he had been treated b the doctor, and was entirely cured. Knowing Mr. ‘cl liuser for many years, I was much gratiﬁed with the nforniation he gave me. A few days later I called oIi Dr. Sherman and obtained his treat- ment, which, I am most happy to say, com letel re- stored me. To those who know nothing of ‘Dr. Sher- man’s method, I must say it is a good thin . It ena- bled me to exercise freely and work hard during the time I was being cured, without inconvenience. I give this information in hopes some one aﬁlictcd may be beneﬁted by it. I am clerk in the St.Louis Post Office, eastern case, Distributing Department. - J. R. THOMPSON. St. Louis, April 6, 1878. DR. SHERMAN To INQUIRERS. HE IS GOING TO NEW YORK. I am daily receiving letters and telegrams inquiring , how iuuch longer I will remain in St. Louis; if I can send my treatment; if patients must be present; what the charge is; I was too late last year—-you had left whenl called;iny brother was too late last time 'ou were here: will you be in St. Louis until the Bit of this month? etc., etc. ' Now, my answer to one and all is as follows: Ican not say how much longer I will be here. My services are required in New York. Patients there want my personal attention-are not satisﬁed to receive my treatment through assistants. ’I‘i'eatment can not be sent with any certainty of success. Patients must be present to have the proper adaptation. Ca1i"t say what the charge will be until I understand the case from an examination. To avoid coming too late, come . at once. I am subject to leave at any time on three days‘ notice. No one should be Ittin off from time to time, month to month. Life is too s )0I't to be thus dallying, especially when to be relieved of rupture is the object. Rupture is danger-‘ ous, vexatious and mortifying; a life-tax, mentally and physically—a touch, as it were, of the ﬁnger of death, which young and old at times tremble under, and as often promise themselves another day shall not go by without providing themselves protection from such dangers, and the means of comfort and cure. Then, as to-day is the best time and the only certain- ty the victims of rupture have of obtaining my serv- ices, my time already being up in St. Louis, procras- tination is folly, menacing trouble, while proniptness and decision secure the capacity for life’s most active and complete enjoyment.

At the close only twenty-ﬁve loads were unsold, and most of these were late morning receipts. It is true, prices were hardly up to the standard of yesterday, Eastern shippers at the outset havin determined upon getttntg con- cessions amount gto l2%c per 100 s, i os- sible. They held off in the morning, pure us- ing but sparingl at shaded ﬁgures. N ea_r noon the sellers foun that they must yield a httle to set things moving, and thus they let down to the extent of 10c per 100 ms, though some sales did not show much more than 50 of.

The declines were mostly in top grades, medium being shaded, only such as those taken by Cleveland and Cincinnati bu ers. Good, fat butcher steers, however, did no show declines in sales to interior shippers. Shipping steers of all grades closed moderately active and steady at present quotations. The future of quotations will now be governed by supply. If it is not more than the regular demand rices ma continue steady, but if in excess, t icy may ecline a little more, but not much, according to present ‘prospects of for- eign export deinand in New ork. In the local market the butchers were somewhat slow. They apparently desired to restrict their pur- chases as much as possible, and therefore vices were weak. Supply fair. The demand roin feeders was tead 1, good steers command- iug stead prices on lig it supply. Veal calves were in a undant supply, and )l'1COS favored the buyers, their demand being air, and closed weak. Best inilch cows and springers in mod- erate demand and steady; coininon slow.

Reiiike, charged with for- gery in the third degree, came up in the Court of Criminal Correction yesterday morning and ' was dismissed for want of prosecution_. Reinke, as it is claimed, had obtained $250 from Mary Rummber, of 1837 North Market street, on _a promissory note to which he had signed a ﬁcti- tious name. It appears that Mrs. Rcinke went to Chicago iminediately after her husband's ar- rest aiid obtained $200 from his brother, which she Wave to Mrs. Ruminber, together with a note or the rest, and finally persuaded her to abandon the case, thus, after unceasiiig labors, securing her husband ’ s release . m T COL.

Explanation of the Theory by H3116?» the Agitator——Formation of an Or- ganization in the First Ward. '1‘he Socialists had a meeting last night. in \Vashington Hall, for the purpose of organizing arirst Ward branch of the Socialistic part)’- There were 500 or 600 workingmen present. Although the proceedings were enthusiastic, yet everything was signally orderly- Brotlier Cope occupied the Chair- Haller, the Cincinnati Socialistic agitator, was the principal speaker. He discoursed upon the evils of the present system of capital and labor, and entered into ‘an exposition of the doctrines of American Socialism. After indulg- ing in the usual outpouring against capitalists, and the detailing of the woes of workingmen, he announced as the only remedy the scheme of the nationalization of railroads, canals, ina- ehinery, etc. Then, he declared, there would . be plenty of work, and new and gi antic enter- rises would s ring up all over t iis fair land. a iital, he said, in the hands of private indi- vi 11818. is like 8 Sﬂolmg and unsophisticated girl-Shy 9-Dd 1‘et11'111g3 it dare not take , Old Of any great enterprise. If‘ Uncle Sam. or some other power, does not commence With 8'W1113 Workingmen employment, so that they may have ability to consume, there will never be ‘ ‘good times" again, for everything “depends upon the workiugmaii’s ability to con- _sume,and not on the condition of money. Now, is_ there a remedy? Is i.t in human nature to de- ,v1se a plan by which these mighty evils can be got around? If tyou assume that human nature is not capable o righting the wrongs, then on admit that we must go back to barbarism. mt there must be some way of remedying the pres- ent evil. No matter what may be the disease, the investigation has got to be cairicd on can- didly and quietly. If workingmen ﬂow oif ‘at a tangent and attempted to turn society upside- down in double-quick time, then some little Napoleon from Corsica, some Emperor, would come from over the waters, and ascend the throne as an imperial Caesar. Capitalists, the apeakerwent on to say, were as much interest- ed in this subject as were workingmen, for both fe1t_t-he pressure alike. Then it behooved cap- italists to lend a listening ear and an investigat- tng eye. He undertook to say that the entire trouble arose from one man being able to con- trol land and machinery, and thereby to ap- .propriate to himself the wealth which it would take other men thousands of years to gain. Vanderbilt (lied worth $100,000,000. -Now it would take a common workingman 106, 866}; years to earn this amount if he got $2 a day and worked 300 days a year; and then noth- ing must be deducted for the expenses of liv- ing. Yet Vanderbilt, starting with $100, made. his vast fortune inside of ﬁft years. From the attendant applause it .seeme as if the audience were glad to hear that they, as working for wages, were slave . If the present s stem is correct, the speaker said, then the 01 system of slavery was correct. Indeed, the condition of the workingmen of the present day, Mr. Haller asserted, is worse than that of the Southern slaves. He drew a fancy picture Of the Southern slave-owner procuring the best medical skill ‘and tenderly watchin a slave when he was sick or met with an acci ent. ‘ ‘.Do your bosses do like _this?’’ he inquired. N 0. If you are in a machine shop and a lump of iron alls on you and breaks one of your limbs,what does your boss say? He says: ‘ ‘I-Iere,get an ex- press _wagon and take him home. ” And 99 cases out of 100 he will pay nothing for the doctor's bill. And et you workingmen talk of being freemen. . on are patted on the back just about election time, and there are inquiries about Polly and the little ones ;but after election day you approach these patronising friends, they will soon put ‘ ‘N O. 9’ ’. on you. Lau_ghter and applause.] Yet, Mr. Haller said, e did not blame the employers. They had to elect between being unjust or being run" to the wall by competition. It was all owing to the infernal system of wages and competition, which had to be cleared oiit,root- and branches. y the eternal, he declared, it must come down. So long as one man can hold a number of others down tojhiiii, then so long will work- ingmen be slaves. What is the remedy? It will not do to destroy one class of capitalists to put another class in its place. There has got to be a scientiﬁc reorganization of sOciety—-a. system « that will give laborers everywhere their rights as laborers. As pointing out the remedy, Mr. Haller read an abstract from the platform of the Socialistic party in which it was demanded ’ that the resources of life, the means of produc- tion, the means of transp_ortation,the railroads, the canals. the telegraph lines and the machinery of the country become the common property of the people; and the Government was also to abolish the wages system, and substitute in its . stead _co-operative production, with a just dis‘- tribution Of, its rewards. The reading of this . platform elicited loud applause. Mr. Hall.er remarked that this might seem violent doc- trine, but it had to_ come-to practicality in the future. Under this pros. ective system, orga- nizers of enterprises and istributers of wealth are to be paid their just due, but no more than .. the producers of the country’s wealth. .

Another Illustration of the Legal Acu- . men of Average Jurors . The following is another illustration of the in- telligencc of the average jury, it appearing in a case just tried before Judge Gottsclialk: Ed. ‘Voight & Co. brought a mechanics’ lien against the building of Gerard B. Allen ,Sevont.li and Vvasliington avenue, claiming $343 for paint furnished Mitchell 85 Co. , who were the painting contractors. Mitchell 3; Co. made no defense, but, on the coIit.rary, signed a written acknowledgment of the bill in fall, this ac- knowledgment being before the jury. One of the firm, also, was put on the stand to prove the account, so as to establisli the lien. Mr. Allen, the owner of the property, made an carues_t. ﬁght Over the point, whether‘ all the paint furnished had been used on the building; ut there was no question ra ised' as to the whole "amount not being I'uI'iiislicd to Mitchell 85 Co. The instructions of the Judge were plain.‘ He instructed the jury that they could ﬁnd in their verdict wliat-Over sum was due from Mitchell & Co. , generally (admittedly $348 25), and tlien that they could specify for how much of that sum the plaintiffs would have a me- c1ianic's lien On the building,- that is, to deter- mine the worth of the paint actually used. After the case had been tried all day the jury _ went out and spent several hours in delibera- tion. Tliey then came in with a verdict of $206 50 against Mitchell & Co.--wlio, be it re- membercd, admitted they owed $348 25——and the guestion of the lien on the building seemed to I c forgotten altogether by the intelligentjurozrs.

CHICAGO Tr'i.bimc: ‘ ‘ uite "a ﬁght in regard to the business between C icago and St. Louis is now going on, and the freight rates have reached _uIiprecedentedly low ﬁgures. There are five Chicago roads competing for the St. Louis business, the Chicago and Alton, Illinois Central, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Clii- cago and Eastern Illinois, and Chicago, Rock Island and Paciﬁc, and there is just business enough for about one line.” The last part is about true, but it would be interesting to know how the Chicago, Rock Inland and Paciﬁc gets to St. Louis. AT the General Ticket and Passenger Agent’s Convention in Cincinnati the followin resolu- tion regarding land or colonist. tic "ets was adopted: Tliat from and after April '15, 1.878, all one-way single land and colonist tickets shall be abolished, and that round-trip tickets (of the iron-clad form) shall be issued to such points as may be designated by land-grant roads west of their eastern termini, at a rate not less than 23.5 cents per Iiiile each way,based on sliort-liiie mileage, up to connecting point of land-grant roads, and that the rate on land- g'I'3.Ilt roads shall not exceed such rate per In e. PRESIDENT W. D. WASHBURN, of the Minne- apolis and St. Louis Railroad, has just issued a general order announcing the resignation Of Maj. H. L. Morrill as Superintendent of this road, and the appointment of Mr. Charles F. Hatch as General Manager. Mr. Hatch will have full charge of the road, including the du- ties heretofore performed by the Superintend- ent. The Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad may congratulate itself on having been able to secure the services of so good and able at man- ager as Mr. Hatch. This gentleman was Gen- eral Superintendent of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, and afterwards managed the Eastern and Maine Central Rail- road. During the last two years and up to a short time ago he held the osition of Vice Pres- ident Of the Raxilivay Age o Chicago. IT has long been the habit of the railroads to send out their pay cars ﬁlled with money, fur- nishing a tempting booty for robbers. It is a good thing that many of the roads have al- ready adopted the plan of sending out checks payable only when indorsed by the part ' named on the face of the document, althou i all sma.l1 amounts are still paid in money. T c St. Louis, Iron Mountain a.nd_Southern sent out their pay-car yesterday morning, and it did not contain a dollar in currency, silver or money of any sort. Numerous checks, how- ever, were taken out b I the clever paymaster, Billings. These are, O course, of no use ex-' cept to the parties for whom they are intended. In case of a train robbery these checks can be rendered useless’ in two hours from the time they are stolen, and the hands are not in- convenienc-ed in the least, as they can have the paper renewed at once. . A 7 ‘ ‘Fun at Columbia.” To the Editor of the Globe-Deinocrat: , Your special correspondent of April 2 has acted the part of a romancer. He has drawn on_ his iiiiagiiiatioii in several particulars, rc- quiriiig correction, as-- . 1. when he says the “The President and Fa.c.uflty ent:ro:I.tcd, stormed and threatened, but all to no e_.ffecIt,” he states what has no foundation whatever in fact. The students re- tired from chapel in an orderly manner, as usual, without. the slightest intimation by lan- . guage or act of what they contemplated doing. But izistead of going to the several Class-1'O(>l1lS, about two-thirds of them simply went to town. ’l.‘lIere was nothing boisterous or particularly noticeable in their Iiianucr on the campus. Not a meniber of the i‘aouI.t.y spoke to any of them, or made even his appearaiice among tliem,InIit=liless watched any such boisterous and unseemly behav- ioron the part of the faculty as represeiited. Every one of the faculty, as usual, preceded I:-lie students in retiring from cliapel and went to his cla..ss-room, and was made aware of what occiii'i'ed by the siniple noii-gI.pp0‘.-I.ra.1ice of the larger part of the several classes. 2. The i'epre.senta.tion of the President as in pursuit of a young man. and the whole of the talk put into their mouths, is a ricliculous fab- .ric:—i.tioii. Wliat could be the motive of ma..kI'ng it 1 do not pretend to coiijecture. In the Alis- souri Sta.t:e.sm¢m of April 5, published in Colum- bia, there appears the following notice of about all that ‘(-1.8 noticeable in the occurrciioes of tlie day. It Should be borne in mind that this sort pf thing on “All Fools’ Day” is nothing new ierez . SCHOOL TRICKS ONAPRIL FOOLS’ DAY. On. last Monday, April Fools’ day, the stil- dciits of Stephens College, after prayers, iii:-ii'clie(l out to Hinksou Creek without permis- sion of If’i'esi<leii.t Rider, and spent much of the day in a recreation of their owir choosing. ‘ The students of the University also “seced- cd" inimediatelv after prayers, and marched through the streets, making _a considerable dis- play and a deal of noise. Some one wrote a note to President Laws to the effect that the students were on the raiupage in the s.treeI;s, and he at Once repaired to the scene of action and took down. the na.me.'.-.I of several. On the following night the students met at the Court House, and, prepairatory for trouble, passed resolutions pledging themselves to Stand by one anotlicr. We have beeiiimable to lc:'I.rn what action, if any, the facility have taken in the 'I:n:I.ttcI'. Allow me to ituake three remarks. 1.. All the circumstaiices of the case go to Show that the whole ail'air, on the part of the young people of both the schools, had no rebellious iii- tention about it. It was not meant as acou- spiracy, nor as an Offense against autliority. 2. The Presidcrit of the University did go to town as here indI'.cated, but made no spccclies and uttered no threats. ' As it sometimes happens that what is meant as fun iinexpectedly ends in broil.-5 or Oiitinges, it was thought worth while by President Ilax-vs to make his appearance in the midst of the students in town and to make a note of any who might render themselves conspicuous. ' Not the slightest discourtcsy by word or act was shown to him, but when the students ob- served that he was quietly noting something I with book and pencil, they at once scattered and withdrew from the streets to their houses. 3. There is good reason for saying that the purpose of the evening meeting was diifercnt from the impression of some. The impression was taken up that perhaps some particular students were esteemed greater offenders than Others, and would accordingly be singled out and dealt with; whereas the students in their meeting simply, as is represented, meant to . avoid theiijequal responsibi1ity,if there was any offense in what had. happened during the day. Mr. Editor, as this correction is due to the students as well as to the Faculty of the Uni- vcrsity, it is hoped that you will have the kind- ness to publish it. _ It is believed to be a matter of sheer justice and no ﬂattery to state that the general deport- ment of no body of students in any college or university in the United States is better or more commendable than that of the students _of Mis- souri University. Everything rgsuined its nor- mal condition on A ril 2, and there has been apparently increase attention to work and not the slightest disorder. In what I have said,I do not wish to be under- stood as ap roving of what was done, nor as apologlzing or it, but only as removing misap- preliensions. S. S. LAWS. Columbia, April 5.

I The Prosecution of the Nihilists in Pctersburg. [Translated for the Globe-Deinocrat from the Berlin Natioiial Gazette.] The 4th of February concluded the great cause opened the 30t..li.of October last before the special division of the Senate. appointed to try crimes against the State. Our readers will re- member attenipts had been made against the State by those Nihilists, which were gradually discovered, and for which they are tried, the critical scene of which is laid about the spring of 1876. As early as 1872 the Socialist propa- ganda of Russia began practically to apply the plans they had previously but theoretically taught. Loath to wait any longer, the Nihilists resolved henceforth to intro- duce their doctrinos among the peo- ple, and thus organize their rising against society and the State. At that time the “walks among the people” opened the way by brochures and teachings, but soon were known to spread far and near. With Petcrsbiiig as the center, a net of colporteurs was spread out over the land. E verywhcre tlicy joined in the labors of the different trades and professions, whether in town or country, and in this way brought the doct-iviiie to them. N ow Workin.g in the Ama-cl: of the villager, then in SI1Il'i’.« sleeve among the factory operatives, so that with the callous hands of the Russian Of the future they could the more efficiently aid in the upbuilding of the State of the future. By his last novel, ‘ ‘N cwland, ” J . Turgenjew has presented us with a clear conception of the mode and manner employed to accomplish their ends, and how badly they Were frequent - ly obliged to fare. Their attention having long since been di- rected to the movements of these operators, in the spring of 1876 the Governmentinstituted an extensive raid on them, when the principal nests were cleaned out, and the manipulators were brought to the light one after another. The 'prcliiIi'i.nary exainination concluded, on the 30th of October, 1877, some 193 of them were indicted, and Several hundred witness- es subptniiaed. Their sentences have been pronounced and were published in the Russian Imperial Intclligciioer. Most of the prisoners have been conﬁned for sev- eral years. The <ri'cater half are between twenty-one and thirty years of age. In fact, many of them- are not of age-wliicli undoubt- edly conduced to make their sentences more lenient. For, as a whole,tl.iey can not be called I severe. True, the letter of the law demanded I that the penalties. imposed should be banish- mcnt, imprisonment at hard labor, settlement in Siberia, etc. However, the Court having re- commended them to the mercy of the Emperor, their sentences were: Mysclikin, the ring- leader of the revolutionary society, imprison- ment at hard labor for a period of ten years; four others, banishment to_ Siberia; a number of them, settlement in Siberia ; while the rest of them were to receive but comparatively mild punishment. It is to be presumed that the monarch will re- spond to the appeals made to his mercy. e fact is not to be overlooked, that since the beginning of this deceniiiuin the revolution- ary pro agaiida has been constantly gaining round in Russia. The cause Netschajetf, the rst called for trial, seemed to have given new impulse to the a itation. Since then two other political causes iave made their appea.rance,of which that of the latter date always exceeds the earlier, both in im ortanco and extent. It is now a year since we held a. number of these L political children raising a riot before the lia- , I san- Cathedral in Petersbur ,when they were sub ected to the severe pena ties of the law. A resent we do not deal simply with I few dividuals as in 1872, or with tens as in 1876, but W‘1thhuI1(11‘_0dS of them. We find among the prisoners as on nally sons of soldiers, of popes [Russian, Tr. , gentlemen of rank, citi- zens, pcasa.nts and - rsons of all ranks and vocations, all unite . Young women of the poorer nobility occupy foremost places of the cause. The sentences are not yet ublished. When on the public highway a shot rom these same revolutionary elements hits a police oili- cer, the conﬁdant Of the monarch, the murder- ous ball whistlin. past an officer of the proc- torsliip in Peters iurg. ~ W e may consider the theories of these fana- tics to be ludicrous, the means resorted to uy them perverse or criminal. Ncvertlieless we are bound to admit that the fanatics are pro- gressin , that their ideas are making converts, and ma e themselves felt practically. It is but a very short stop from the revolver to etro- leum. However, it is with satisfaction, t on 11 with sadness, too, that the Nihilists regard t e victims of their operations. Its followers de- clare that they have gained so much as not any longer to be obliged to wander about in the capacit of colportcurs, but to hav_e acquired a right 0 homestead, and be permitted to work on and quietly. At any rate we ,are bound to admit that those trials did not lay hold of the mischief by the roots, so as to preclude all farthermacliinatioiis. Rather do we fear that this war, the movement now set on foot anion all classes of the Russian people, wil render the minds susceptible indeed for the agitation of the Nihilists. _Tliere is IiO_ such thing in Russia to-day as publicity-_- as a public olitical lite. Of course the spirit of the poop e, reawakened to a considerable ex- tent, will incline toward the plain and radical doctrines of socialists. The wa_r has impover- ished many of rank and nobility, and caused the youth Of the country to look into and inves- tigate more closely the Iieedsand wants of the State. Whence we are forced, for adequate reasons, to doubt the issue of that monster cause as the end of the conflict. THE IEVEES. UNITED STATES SIGNAL SERVICE REPORT.

Force and Muscle Resorted To---Bowman and His Adherents Seem to Get the Best of It. Considerable Excitement, Some Bloody NOSBS. but Nobody Seriously Hurt-- The Metropolitans and the Deputy Marshals--An Appeal to Gov. Cullom. The citizens of East St. Louis had been ex- pecting a Council battle and general political row ever since the last election, which was held on the second of this month, and was the most hotly contested and exciting one ever witnessed in the city. On this day it was claimed by the Bowmanites, as they are called, that Anson Gustin had defeated Mr. Wider in the First, while Mr. Baugh had been victorious over Louis Boismenue in the Fourth Ward. The anti-Bowmanites, however, held that the election had been illegal; that City Clerk Franz had no business to open the ballot boxes and canvass the returns, and that Gustin had no business to a seat in the Council. Accordingly, at the several Council meetings which have been held since the elec- tion, more than the legally allowed number of Alderman have been present, -the Bowman party having on hand a body of Deputy Mar- shals to preserve the peace, while the Wider party were to be protected by the Metropoli- tans, :whO would—-or thought they would—-keep the Deputy Marshals in " check. To further complicate matters the Wider men had elected Maurice F. Tissier to - act as Clerk, claiming that Benedict Franz was not legally entitled to the Oﬁice, having been appointed by the Mayor, but not conﬁrmed by the Council. NO wonder then, with a divided Council, two Clerks and a body of Marshals Opposed to a squad of Metropolitans, that the East St. Louisans expected things to culminate 111 A GRAND RUMPUS at each attempted meeting of the Council, and yesterday they witnessed probably as dis- graceful and exciting a scene as they had bar- gained for. Althought no one was very dan- gerously hurt, it was thought at one time dur- ing the trouble that mob law would prevai1,and this would,w1t-hout a doubt,have been the case had the number of excited and reckless men assembled around the market house been greater. Marshal Mike Vvalsh was on hand with deputies to the number of thirteen, as the Mayor posi- tively states; and the Metropolitans who were resent numbered about the Same, all occupy- mg the room outside the railing which incloses the space occupied by the Council during a meeting. Shortly after 9 o'clock Messrs. Gus- tin, Roewe, Baugh and the Mayor came in and took theirdseats. Very soon after Messrs. an Joyce Wider appeared, accompa- nied _by Mr. Tissier (recognized by the Widerites as Clerk), and ex-City Mar- shal Renshaw. Mike Walsh stood just inside the railing and opened the gate to allow Wider and Joyce to pass in, which they did, tellin Mr. Tissier to follow them. The Iayor ordere the Marshal to . keep him Out. The Marshal proceeded to execute the order and thus was Inaugurated a riotous scene, before which the CO11IlC1l battle of last October fades into insig- niﬁcance, and one that will long be remember- ed by the people. Aldermen, officers and street laborers participated, and it is only to be Wondered why MEN WERE NOT KILLED, or more of them, at least, injured. When Walsh took hold of Tissier to force him back, Renshaw came to the latter’s assistance, while the Marshals did not hesitate to come forward and help Walsh, and of course the Metropoli- tans felt it their duty to preserve the peace and help their const-ituents, if the Wilderites might be called such, and in a moment the ‘ ‘billies’ ' were being ﬂourished and blows struck, mixing up in the melee not only Metropolitans an Marshals , but quite a. crowd of idlers who had managed to ﬁnd their way in before any Signs of . a difficulty were visible. Much sooner than it can be told, the muttered curses changed to yells and roans, while the crowd outside, which had een gradually growing larger, and partisans, forcing their way up to the Council Chamber, took up the yells and increased the lively din. Tissier had struggled from the grasp of Walsh, and, followed by blows from all sides, made his way to the north window, through which he escaped——it is stated, by the aid of Mayor BOwman—minus coat, hat and vest, and with a. shirt considerably torn. At this juncture Mike Dormody, night watchman on the bridge, who was standing on the railing, drew the first pistol that was seen during the ﬁght. It was pointed toward that portion of the room where the Councilmen were gathered. N 0 sooner did Mike Walsh see this than he jumped on a table, whipped out his own revolver, and covering Donnally, ordered him to ‘ ‘putiup that pistol. ” While the latter was deliberating whether or not to obey, some two or three assisted him to the floor and then forced him through into the hall, where an angry and excited crowd- ALMOST A 1108-- reaching down the stairway and into the street, were pushing, cursing and even striking each other to force an entrance to the Council room. Dormod ' somehow made his way into the street. e rushed around to the west end of the market house, and, half mad with excite- ment, drew his revolver and ran up stairs through the City Court-room, Court being at the time in session. He leaped through a win- dow on to the roof, which lies lower on the sides of the building, and ran along towards the east end, where the ﬁght was hottest. John Carroll met him,and seeing that Dormody had his revolver Out, presented one himself with, ‘ ‘That's your game, is it? Then come Railway Mail Service.

Zimmermann, Clerk of the Work House, was tried in the Court of Criminal Cor- rection yesterday on a charge of assault and battery, and discharged. The alleged assault was committed on John Martin, on the 17th of last January, at which time a number of the prisoners escaped from the Work House, but were afterward captured. It was claimed that Zimmerrnann had cruelly beaten several of the risoners when the were brought back. He ad already been tried on a charge of assault I and battery for having beaten two others of the escaped prisoners--negroes, and ﬁned $4. m 7 FRENCH TAPESTRY-COVERED parlor suites ‘ $55, at Scarritt Furniture Co. ’s. Lending a Hand. Mr. Francis McGrath was walking along in the sunshine yesterday morning, feeling quite chipper. At the corner of Eighth and O’Fal1on streets he found a street car off the track. He willingly lent a helping hand to replace it upon the straight and iron road. Within a few min- utes he was making tracks for the City Dispens- ary, with three broken and mangled ﬁngers exercising him greatly. Dr. Leudeking thought it possible, but by no means probable, that the ﬁngers would be saved. He had caught the members in the brakes in some unexplained way. m EASTLAKE French Drevsscr suites, $40, at Scar- vritt Furniture CO . ’S. A Steamboat Fracas. Henry Brown, a colored roustabout on the steamer J as. Howard, offended the second mate of that vessel yesterday, and the hard words that followed developed into a ﬁght. Andy Canty—that is the name of the second mate- ended the affair by drawing a revolver. Brown started to run and Canty fired. Brown fell to the earth wounded “In the Saddle.” as they used to say. The bullet was small, and was ex- tracted at the Dispensary. Brown limped pain- fully to his home, at the corner of Tenth and Wash streets. Self-Taking Off. August Pfoudt, a machinist, living at 1223 North Thirteenth street, in aﬁt of dcspond- ency superinduced by domestic infelicity and . continued and excessive use of whisky, put a small Smith&Wesson to his left breast, on Vvednesday night, and shot himself throucrh the left lunrr. At 10:30 yesterday morning Ie died, and the Coroner will hold an inquest to- day. 1 Before Dormody had time to “cOme along’ ' the Sheriff, who had been ordered to do so by Judge McGowan, followed Dormody out, and arrested him for contempt of Court. He will appear this morning at 9 o'clock. This was the only show of pistols or ﬁrearms of any kind seen during the da . Meantime the ﬁght had been going on inside, and after having progressed for nearly ﬁfteen minutes the Marshals had driven outside all but two of these Metropolitans, Eu ene Hol- land and Garrett Stack. These two ad work- ed hard to preserve the peace, being desirous of doing simply‘ this, and not anxious to see any ﬁghting. hey were allowed to remain. Alderman McLean had, soon a.fter the muss began, followed Joyce and Wider into the ‘room, not, however, without receiving one or W0 VERY SLIGHT BRUISES from some one in the confused mass of stru - gling, ﬁghting men. As soon as the Metropoli- tans had been ejected, Mayor Bowman, very much excited, called a still more excited and an 'y set of Aldermen to order. Messrs. Ra ter, Lackman and Doyle had been tryin in vain to effect an entrance to the room W Ien ﬁrst brought to the building ‘b yells and cries from the maddcned crowd’. It was not until the Marshals had control thaqthese Alder- men could et in, but when Mr. Bowman called the Council to order every member was present, a guard being stationed at the door to prevent the opposing parties outside from gain- entrance. he Clerk was ordered to call the roll, but had justcommenced when Mr. McLean, in a terribly excited manner, jumped up and moved that the Council adjourn to the engine-house hall, as likely to be more secure. Mr. Bowman said this motion was out of or- der, besides very absurd. However, he would put it. The Widerites 11 ad already begun mur- muring, and just as Mayor Bowman ordered Franz to call the roll they jumped to their feet, all shouting ‘ ‘ Yea!" at the top of their voices. Without further action they made for the door, McLean takin the lead. ‘ ‘Don't let t 1cm out,” yelled Bowman, “tilt the roll is called; they are out of order. Call the roll, and then I’ll excuse them. Franz, call the roll ;” and amid the din each name was yelled out by the Clerk, but scarcely heard, as the peo 10 outside were creating great confu- sion. ’hen Franz had concluded, the Mayor, after several unsuccessful attempts to make his voice heard, ordered that Wider and his men BE LET OUT. They were received by a. crowd which Lackman did not care to meet, and so staid behind. Again the Council was called to order, Lack- man at ﬁrst refusing to take his seat. The others present were Mayor Bmvman, and Messrs. Baugh, Doyle, Gustin, and Roewe. ‘ ‘ We will now proceed to allow these claims,” Said his Honor. He was interrupted by Some_ one pounding away on the window at his back. It was Mr. McLean, who had climbed on the roof, and was calling on Lackman to follow and act with the Wieler fac- tion. TO the surprise of every one present Lackman refused, and was cheered lustily by those inside. He did not Stop here, but when the Council began _voting on the claims, Mr. Lackman voted with the rest. Claims to the amount of several thousand dollars were al- lowed, some of them having been acted on last Tuesday by the Wider portion of the Council. The Mayor read his proclamation calling for an election next ’I‘ucsday, as provided by the general law, and the Council indorsed it. His appointment of Benedict Franz as Clerk was conﬁrmed, but those of Thos. Wiustanley, for Treasurer, and W. H. Bennett, for City Attor- ney, were not, it being argued that there was no need for such action, as the election to ﬁll these vacancies will occur next Tuesday. It is asserted that Mr. Lackman has now iden- tiﬁed himself with the Bowman party and by his vote the general law is probably legalized, and the Mayor given the right to appoint City Marshals or city policemen, and some dozen of By 9 o’clock yesterday morning, Acting City" these were on duty last night, with Mike Walsh as their Chief. The Mayor Says they will be furnishedwith clubs to-day. The announcement that Lackman was acting with the Bowmanitcs was received with cheers by the crowd outside, but the Widerites were exceedingly cut up about it. The four, Messrs. Wider, Rafter, McLean and Joyce, met in the engine-house hall and adjourned to2o’clock in the after- noon, and at the afternoon meeting adjourned without doing anything. The other ortion of the Council a journed sine die. Mr. ider says the action of Bowman's Council was illegal, as two of the Aldermen were not entitled to their seats-just what the Mayor says about the ac- tion of Wider’s Council last Tuesday." OUTSIDE ACTION. After the Metropolitans had been e elled from the Council-room, Commissioner Iinze attem ted to reorganize them, but was unsuc- ccssfu . It is stated that he picked up an ax andyolunteered to lead the way and take os- Scssion of the market-house, but could ﬁn no one to.-lead. The Police Commissioners then- telegraplied to the Governor that a crowd was creating trouble, and militia -might be needed, or something to that effect; but the Sheriff telegraphed the Governor that the authorities were able to preserve the peace, and so no militia appeared. Indeed, there was need of none, as the crowd did not at any time number more than 300, many of them taking _ 110 9-0t1V0 Part either way. Fights would break out here and there, but would not last long, as nearly every one_was intent on pushing his way up the stairs and into the Council- 1‘00m. Where a ﬁght of no small nature could be seen for awhile. One of the specials wore a pair of brass knuckles in the ﬁ«rht,and did considerable dam e to the heads of? one or two of the crowd. In. McCarty, Pat. Boyne -and Ferd. Gleyer each received rather_ser1ouS wounds from clubs or knuckles on their heads, and were escorted over to the Station House to be attended to. Dick Beadle, besides getting badly hurt about the head, received a terrible blow in the mouth that may disﬁgure him for life, besides causing him trouble for some time to come. Jerr Coffey will carry a lame shoulder for Severe weeks to remind him of the difﬁculty experienced in the formation of a new Council, and Bill Wallace received some bad bruises about his face. The coats torn and hats lost it is not worth while to note. Messrs. Wider and Rafter left their hats on adjourning to the engine house, and some one threw them into the street. FOR SPRINGFIELD. M_r. Wider left for Springﬁeld on the 4:25 tram, it being his intention to place his side of the case before Gov. Cullom. Before leaving he saw the stars and stripes ﬂoating over the market house--placed there by Franz to cele- brate the victor of the Bowmanites. ‘ A Mr. Wider c aims that Chief of Police Walsh sold out to the Bowman faction. It is true Walsh was not seen during the day, but he has been suffering for several days from a severe illness, which is given as a reason for his not being on hand yesterday. ‘ Everything was quiet last night, and whether the end is reached is a conundrum. Appeal to the Governor. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. SPRINGFIELD, ILL. , April 11.--The Governor received dispatches to-day of a conﬁict atEast St. Louis between the Metropolitan Police, act- ing under authority of the Commissioners, and a force appointed by Mayor Bowman. For a time there was a lively prospect of a conﬁict at arms, suggesting the necesit for militia to part the combatants, but later a vices from the Po- lice Commissioners of East St. Louis were more reassuring, but it is claimed these come from the _Mayor’s side, Mr. Wider, of East St. Louis, arrived to-night, and is having a con- ference with the Governor. He is an anti- Bowman1te,_ and represents affairs as threaten- ing and calling for the Governor's intervention. AMUSEEIENTS. DE BAR’S OPERA HOUSE. This house was perfectly jammed last night, every seat being taken and the lobbies pretty well crowded. Joe Emmet has captured the theater-goers, and no mistake. It is not to be wondered at, as the people crave light amuse- ments, and Emmet’s Song-and-dance business iswhat pleases more than anything else. He has attained a wonderful perfection in his specialty, and distanced all competitors. But little can be said In praise of the company he has picked up, like stray sheep of different ﬂocks,but as he intends to turn them out to grass after_ his‘ present engagement, and get up a combination of ﬁrst-class artists, be perhaps ought to be forgiven for imposing such inferior stock upon the public. Fritz will be played to- night, to-morrow afternoon and to-morrow night, and then the great Modjeska will take possession of the boards. - OLYMPIC THEATER. Mr. John McCullough repeated the Gladiator last night, and had a fair but not crowded house. He rendered his role in a masterly manner, and the piece went Off more smoothly than on Monday night. Mr. McCullough wasin good voice, and gave the declamatory passages 11). a style never surpassed by Forrest in his palm- iest da s. The lover of the heroic drama never tires 0 seeing this and actor in any of his favorite roles. His elineations are so master- ly, so full of the true spirit of the author, that one never wearies o listening to him. '.I‘o- night the ﬁne tragedy of Brutus, or the Fall of Ta.rquin, will be produced. It is a play that has seldom been resented here, and will afford an opportunity 0 seeing the great actor in one of his best )ersonations. On Satur ay night Mr. Pat. Short, the popu- lar treasurer, will take an annual beneﬁt, and the play of Virginius will be given, with Mc- Cullough as the Roman Father. Pat. deserves a good one. Kate Claxton and her Two Orphans will be here on Monday. , THEATRE COMIQUE. It seems to make no difference what the at- tractions may be elsewhere, the people still crowd the Comique. The reason is that the show suits the popular taste, and is areally good One. The pieces now on are full of fun and drollery, and the ballet is gorgeous beyond description. - ST. LOUIS I17 SPLINTERS.

J AMES MARTIN, indicted for the murder of William King at Smith's Saloon, on the Levee last August, was yesterday sentenced to two years in the Penitentiary, having pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

John Knapp. ‘ve this evening, at m Honest. “Are you the man that kept this store two years ago?’ ’ inquired an old colored lady yes- terday of Mr. Dilmore, fruit and game dealer, on Pine street, near Seventh. ‘ ‘I am, Madam, ’ ’ Mr. Dilmore replied ; ‘ ‘I have kept this store for Seven years. ’ ’ “Well, ’ ' the old lady said, ‘ ‘two years ago I bought something here, and, not having en- ougﬁ money, you trusted me w1th‘5 cents. That day I left the city, and have only just returned. Here's your 5 cents-—thanks. ’ ’ With that the old lady handed _Mr. Dilmore a silver 5-cent piece with a hole In It.

An amusing incident, which goes to show that the Bohemian, as well as the ‘ ‘Gray, ’ ’ is some- times the prey to the monte ‘ ‘sharp, ’ ' occurred on Sunday night in Kansas City. It appears that one W. D. Clarke, representing the St. Louis Commercial List, a paper published in St. Louis, chanced to stop in this city for a few days, and to pass the time away indulged, with others, in “dat1eetle game of draw” to which the ‘ ‘country ﬁat’ ’ is so often the chronicled victim. At the conclusion of the game W. D. Clarke, ﬁnding that he was out $50, proceeded to the Police Station and there re- lated his grievances, askin the arrest of the monte men. Accompanied y a policeman, he returned to the room over the saloon known as the “Marble Hall,” and there pointed out and secured the arrest of Sherman Thurston, Dryfus and Bronson, three well-known-gam- blers, and returned with them to Palace de Speers. The men were laced under bond for their appearance before 'ecorder Ellison, yes- terday mornin , bond being also demanded of W. D. Clarke Ior his appeamnce 130 P1‘0S0011te the prisoners. While the men were in the office of the police headquarters, Clarke took Occa- sion to relate another affair of the kind with which he was connect-ed, and threatened to “write u ” the characters of these .men, as he ad often done with Thurs- ton, a notorious gambler, with whom he was well acquainted in St. Louis, and to whose bi- ography he had often given the beneﬁt of his columns. The Chief of Police here remarked that he must be mistaken about being so well acquainted with Sherman Thurston, as this was the identical man standing before him and with whom he had been playing cards during the evening. The men appeared before the Re- corder yesterday morning, and_ Bronson, pleading “ ilty,” paid his ﬁne, while Thurston an Dryfus entered a plea of “not guilty,” and a continuance was granted until this morning. While the trial was oing on Search was instituted for the Illus- trious Bohemian, who could nowhere be found and the oﬂicers gave up the chase,pronouncing him non est, and concluding he had taken the morning train for St. Louis. But, to return" to the Bohemian’s bondsman. Yes, he is on the lookout for a lost man, for whom at this time he entertains affection(?). It is supposed that Clarke has returned to the ‘ ‘fold’ ’ to write up” the monte man, and, perhaps, to think of the bondsmen he left behind him. It is to be hoped that he will remember him kindly, or at least sympathize with him in the payment of that hundred dollar bond. . L m . DANIEL O’CONNELL. A Two-Hours’ Lecture on His Life and Times by Francis Garvey, Esq., the Irish Barrister. The entire strength of the Bar Association and a full Bench attended at Mercantile Library Hall last night to hear Francis Garvey, Esq., of the St. Louis Bar, and formerly of the Irish Bar, deliver his lecture on “Daniel O'Connell and his Contemporaries. ’ ’ Col. Broadhead in- troduced the speaker, who commenced talking at 8:30 and had not ended at 10:30. The lecture was listened to most intently, and it is safe to say that no speaker in Mercantile Hall was ever so frequently applauded as Mr. Garvey. He commenced by sketching the state of public affairs in Ireland about the year 1794, touching on the penal code and its partial relaxation some years later through the inﬂuence of Grattan. He paid attention to the ' junta and to the various changes that occurred in the head of the Irish Government, and said that on the 15th April, 1798, O'Connell was ' called to the Irish bar. He went circuit, made some most brilliant defenses, got into the Civil Court of Nisi Prius, and by the ear 1813 was recognized as a leader at the Irish air. He chan ed the system of cross-examination, andwon Omsuch men asBrougham and Scarlett the highest praise of his forensic efforts.Attack- ing the be garly corporation of Dublin he was challenge to a duel, in which he shot his an- tagonist. Afterwards came his acquaintance with Plunkett and Peel, the latter of whom challenged him, but the ﬁght never came Off. Then in 1815, assisted by Sheil, he founded the Catholic AssOciation,t-he great instrument of the agitation which he so successfully initiated and maintained. He advocated universal suf- fra e, vote by ballot, triennial Parliaments, an the emancipation of the Jewish and colored races. He was the greatest agitator the world ever saw, and his influence over the masses was shown in the meeting at Ennis in 1827, where, out of 30,000 Irishmen present, not one was drunk or carried a stick. No wonder that Gre- ville should speak of two Governments in Ire- land, the King's and O’Connell’s. Then came stories—the lecture was literally full of them, and the audience lau hed at and applauded each and every anec ote-—about O’Connell’s connection with Brougham, Peel, Canning, Disraeli, Lord Anglesea and others. Finally, as it grew late, the speaker came to a sudden halt, closed amidst immense applause, and re- ceived a hearty vote of thanks for his amusing and interesting lecture. m j CURRENT DEFLECTION. The Bryan Street Dike Case-—Plaintiﬂ‘ Takes a Nonsuit. The trial of the case of John Q.Meyers against the city for $40,000 damages came to an abrupt close yesterday, the plaintiff taking a nonsuit. The damage sustained by the plaintiff was caused by the city throwing up a dike at the foot of Bryan avenue, which deﬂected the cur- rentof the river and caused ten feet of mud to accumulate in front of plaintiff's saw-mill, burying a number of his sawlogs, and putting an end to his business. Judge Thayer ruled that the city has a right to extend its streets in- to the river, and to build dikes for the improve- ment of the harbor, and is not liable in such cases for damage done to private property. If the city could be held liable for dama es of this kind, she would be debarred from omg any kind of work for the improvement of the har- bor, and would be compelled to allow the cur- rent Of the river to pursue its natural course, even though the harbor might become choked up with sandbars and islands. A dike built at Sawyer Bend might so chan e the course of the channel as to form an islan ten miles below, and cause the washing away of a bank twenty milesfurther down, and so on for hundreds of miles. After hearing the evidence, and ﬁnding that the work complained of had been done under proper authority, the Judge gave an In- struction that the plaintiff had not made out a cause of action, and he therefore took a non- m M EXQUISITELY decorated Cottage Suites at Sc Qgitt Furniture Co. ’s. A CHANCE FOR BALDHEADS. Their Day of Deliverance Has Dawned. This is the age of wondcrs—wOnders in science , wonders in mechanism, wonders in everything. It has been said that the man who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before is a public‘ benefactor. What, then, shall be said of the man who causes a full and luxurious crop of hair to grow upon the barren and shining pates of the lar e army of bald- heads who have well-nigh espaired of ever having a natural coverin for their headsagain? What place, in a word, s all be assigned to the discoverer of Carboline, a deodorized extract of petroleum? Shall he not have a conspicuous niche in the Temple of Fame, and stand ﬁrst among the benefactors of his race? To impart new life and vigor to the dormant energies of a diseased scalp; to give strength and fullness to a weak and straggling growth of hair; to bring back the natural color and gloss to bleache and faded locks , -are no ordinary achievements, since chemists and therapeutists have sought in vain to accomplish them for centuries. All honor, then, to the discoverer of the new hair restorative, Carboline—-and let one and all join in expressing a hi her appreciation of the uses and possibilities O that _wonderful product of petroleum, which contains the elements that work such mysterious and gratifying changes.
