VOLUME XXXI. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1876. NUMBER 1596.

" N E W S FKOM T H E WAlt ."

Two women sit at a farmhouse door,Busily reading the news,

While softly around thi-m fair twilight shedsHer tender shadows and dews.

Peace smiles in the cloudless heaven above;Peaco rests on the landscape fair;

And peace, like a holy spirit of love,Broods in the balmy air.

But not one ray of peace illumesThose sad and wistful eyes,

Which search that printed record o'erAs mariners search the skies.

Ix>ok at their faces : one like a roseFresh with the beauty of May ;

Tho other, pale as a waning moonSeen through thin clouds of gray.

i'et, though one is young aud Iho other old,With the fame soft glory they Bhine;

For they're tinted with tenderest light and shadesBy Love, tho artist divine.

Now, fast as a radiant vision, fadosThe glory of the western skies ;

Yet tho readers read on—unmindful of allSave the paper before their eyes.

Nothing to them the charms of that hour—Tho magic of meadow and hill;

For spirits bowed down with a weight of careAre blind to the beautiful BtUL

Deeper the shadows of twilight fall,Moro hushed grows the dewy air,

When suddenly breaks on the holy calmA quick, wild cry of despair.

The younger glances have found it first—That record so sad and brief:

" Mortally wounded !"—two dread words—Winged arrows of dread and grief.

11 Mortally wouuded !"— look a^ain ;Alas ! it is all too truo ;

Not the bravo alone, but the fond and fairAre mortally wounded, too.

He, on the battle-field far away,They, in their quiet home—

The wife and the mother, who never moroShall see their loved hero come.

The grass will grow where the warrior fell,And sweet wild flowers may bloom

On the very turf once blackened and burnedBy the fearful fires of doom.

But the smiling summers, that come and go,Can never, never heal

Tho bleeding bosoms which felt to-daySomething sharper than steel.

" Mortally wounded!" oh, dread war!Many a victim is thine,

Save thoso who hear your terrible voiceGo thundering along the line !

If we give proud names and cchoiog hymns,And build up monuments grand

To the gallant spirits who suffer and fallIn defense of their native land;

Let us yield a tenderer tribute sti l l-Sad tears and a pitying sigh—

To the uncrowned heroes who silently sink,And die when their heroes die.

•ATwnymous, in " Lyrics of Loyalty."

A BIT OF LACE.

" It's a perfectly exquisite piece oface, papa."

" I dare say, Flor.""But I want you to look at it."" I shouldn't know any more about it

if I did."" Well, then, I want you to bnv it.""Buy i t ! What for?"" Why, for me."' ' Pay five hundred dollars for a hand-

kerchief for you ?"" Yes, indeed. All other girls have

;hem, although certainly this is a little,:he least little, nicer than theirs. I don'tknow why Lucy should have a hand-iomer handkerchief than I, just becauseihe'3 married. Anybody else v,-onld sayt was enough to be married, and so let

me have the handkerchief. Marriedwomen have everything—love, and lace,and diamonds. Now, papa, just take |>ut you pocket-book." It was a coaxing j

voice." D o you suppose I carry $500 bills in

my pocket-book?"" It makes ns odds. Your check-book,

hen. I have set my Heart on it, it's suchbeauty. If you only look at it—look

,t the wreath of flowers, all so delicatelyhaded; here the close work in the light,ou st e, there the open work in thehade, so perfect you can quite fancyhe colors; and all done in this onehread. See, papa, there's a dewdrop,hat round hole in the mesh."

"Nonsense, Flor; I can't see any thingif the kind there."

' ' That's because your eye isn't educa-ed, sir. Mine is; for I have studied'ther people's laces till I could almost?ork them. That's a good man ! I knewou would. You always do. One, two,

liree !" And then there was a showerkisses and tinkling laughter. And

hat was the conversation of a million-ire and his daughter that Lucian Mal-rin heard over the transom of the nextoom to his in the hotel where he staid•ver night a year or two ago, seeingeither people nor handkerchief, andghast at tho thought of a handkerchiefosting the awful price of $500, whichpas one-third of the mortgage on histtle place that he was trying to pay off,eart and soul—a conversation that nowicurred to him hi a moment of real

gony, as the housemaid stood beforeim holding a little limp rag in her handhat she had just snatched out of the•ashtub. and that last night was a bit ofainty lace that Miss Eofe Mercier hadailed her handkerchief, and had givenim to hold during tho gallop. Goodeavens, how was ho ever going to re-tore it

He was a young lawyer, just enteringupon what in time would probably befine practice, but which was now rathermpirical. Ho had started in the raceor wealth and honor with good legal,bility, good name, and good morals,,nd with no other impediments than aittle patrimony in the shape of a modestdwelling in the suburbs, which he had

een obliged to mortgage for the means» get a part of his education and hisjrofession, which mortgage he was striv-ing to pay off, that ho might begin the"uture clear of the world. He was nhandsome fellow, this Lucian Malvin,an ambitious one, too, in some degree,and very nearly as proud as Lucifer.He used to feel many a pang in the as-iociation with those so much wealthierihan himself to which certain circum-itances had subjected him. He had hadin important case accidently thrown intois hands, and had acquitted himself so jrell that the wealthy client took him up

md would not let Hun down; and wheniiiciaii remonstrated that it was out of

his power to keep up such association,md was mortifying to his pride beside,h client had assured him it was not

pride, but vanity, that was mortified,md that the way to be wealthy as thosehe met was to keep their company and;et their cases; and he had thought, onlie whole, that perhaps his friend wasight, and that, if he began to yield withan ignoble motive, ho had neverthelessjecome very fond of the ways of people;o whom wealth had given every eppor-unity of culture and grace, and who

know how to treat life like a work of art.Moreover, it was not a little that ho waspetted by various of these good people.Certain motherly ladies made him athome with them, and won his confidenceasd affection, notably Mrs. Barnetta.Parents with good rent rolls of theirown, as Mrs. Barnetta used to tell him,were not so inconsistent in the matter ofrent-rolls as of virtue and talent in theirlaughters' husbands; and he was invitedlere and invited thorp;, and given to un-terstand a great deal niorethanhc chose*to understand. Proud as Lucifer, ss itwas previously stated, he was going tomarry no heiress of them all and bo thethrall of her monoy; he would not marrya rich woman—he" could, not marry a

poor one. When he married he wasgoing to give, not teke, and at presenthe had nothing to give. Perhaps hewould have been a noMor person 'if hehad not been quite so strenuous in thismatter of obligation; but theD, as Mrs.Barnetta said, he would not have beenLucian.Blalvin, and Lucian Malvin wasa very good fellow, after all, and thoi-s

| are few of us but have our faults.It was among these people that lie

happened to meet Eosa Mercier. . Shehad come from a distant place, and wasvisiting his pleasantest acquaintance;and certainly the house was pleasanterstill after her sunshiny little presencedawned upon it. It seemed as if, iorinstance, there never had been anyflowers in the house before, although ithad always been overflowing; it seemedas if there had been no music there, nolight, or color or cheer; and now theplace was too dangerously delightful fora young man who did not want to marryto frequent. She was such a lovely littletiling; not exactly beautiful, that is, aliowould not havo been beautiful in apicture, but in flesh and blood, and inLucian Malvin's eyes, she was exceed-ingly beautiful, with her 30ft color, herclear dark gaze and her bright hair thatbroke into a cloud of sunny rings abo«fcher sweet face; such a gentle gaietywent with her wherever she did; such atender grace of manner, too, in the in-tervals of her buoyant spirits; her voicewas much a warbling voice, her wayssuch winsome ways. Lucian Malvinfelt that he must forswear her presenceunless he wanted to make life a burdento himself, and he ceased going to Mrs.Barnetta's where she was staying, almostas suddenly ns the day forsakes the hor-izon in that dreary season when twilightsare not.

But if he could shut himself out fromthe Barnettas, he could not shut MissBosa out from general society ; and gowhere he would, he met her almostnightly, laughing gayly, singing sweet-ly, dancing lightly, till he declared tohimself that, if this was going to last,he must indeed cease going out at all.But that was a little too much ; he didnot know how positively to deny him-self the mere sight of her. Yet thingswere growing very precarious when hecould not take a book but he saw thatblushing, gold-enringed face slide in be-tween the pages; when he could notmake out a writ without being in dangerof slipping her name into the blanks;when he heard the delicious voice mur-muring in his ears when he waked, andwalked all night with the little spiritwhen he slept. He made a compromisewith himself—it was all he could—anddeclared that at any rate he would notdance with her again. It was an idleeffort. He might almost as well havedanced with her as have stood lookingat her, quite unconscious of his generalair, and all the lover in his glance. Mrs.Barnetta beckoned him to her side; hestood there just as Bosa came up fromher promenade and left the arm of onecavalier to be carried off by another."You are not dancing, Mr. Malvin?"she said.. "Oh, would you hold my fanand handkerchief ?" He followed themwith his eye again as the music crashedinto a dashing galop.

What right had that other man withhis clasp about this darling.? Why didho suffer it ? What decency was therein the society that commanded such sac-rifice ? In his embrace—whirling wildlyto this wild music !

" You do hate him, don't you V saidMrs. Barnetta in his ear. "If lookscould slay—" he started. Was he car-rying hi? heart upon his sleeve for dawsto peck at ? ' 'Oh, I don't pity you abit," laughed Mra. Barnetta, low-toned. And, putting out her hand, shetook Bosa'3 fan and opened it as shetalked. "Anybody," said she, "withsuch a power of making misery, oughtto enjoy it."

"1—I bog your pardon, Mrs. Bar-netta, but if you read me riddles, I mustask you also to be their Sphinx."

" Oh no ; it was the function of thoSphinx to propound the riddles, not tosolve them." And Mrs. Barnetta laughedher low, pleasant laugh. "You do notcome to us any more," she paid. "And,;is I used to be in your cor.lidenoe bo-fore you deserted me, I can imagine thoreason. I do not like to.say tim.t it is jvery shabby treatment of an old friend.Of course I can not say that i.t is rude.But if you do riot- dance with Miss Mer-cier this evening I shall be fearfullyoffended. I am not going to have mylittle treasure made unhappy for thesake of tho safety of tho prince of allgood fellows himself."

Lucian changed color so suddenly thatMrs. Barnetta put out her hnhd inaffright, half expecting to see him fall;but in a moniept ho was himself again.

" Do you Is Miss Mercier " hebegan, and paused half way.

" As if I should say another word, and ,hud not already said altogether too!nvuch!" said Mrs. Barnetta. "There,she has left dancing and gone for an ice.What do you think of round dances, onthe whole 1" And they were to all ap-pearances, deep in discussion of the sub-ject when Bosa roturned and swept herlate partner a courtesy, and took shelteron the other side of Mrs. Barnetta.Perhaps she had seen the way Lncian'seyes had followed her, and it had givenher a certain illumination that made hershrink.

Just then the band began ©ne of theHungarian waltzes, a sweet and raptur-ous measure that set the blood itself todancing in one's veins. Why not ? Onelast dance, ono last moment of- ecstasy,ore ha went out forever into loneliness.Directly he crumpled the bit of lace intohis pocket, and was bending before thelittle Rosa, who seemed suddenly to havolost all her light gaiety, and who put outher hand to him with" a conscious burn-ing blush upon her face that his heartreflected in a melting glow. And thenthere was no thought of pride, or of ne-gation, or forgetting; the music wasswinging them at its will; they circled ]in each other's arms to its delicious and jdelirious movement — eternity wouldhardly have any blis;; for lovers beyondthe bliss of this moment. Yet, only amoment was it, a few moments, a briefsweet space of half-conscious time; andthen a faint recognition crept throughits spell and warned Lucian Of thopoison in this honey. He was in theact of surrender; he was about to sealhis fate and thut of his dear gill; to takeher away from her father's wealth andher.luxurious ease and condemn her tothe oarking cares of poverty. All hisnature rebelled; he chose not to boswayed by this melody of horns andstrings; he would havo no passion,neither music nor love, so master hissoul as to become the element in whichit swam, an exclusion of thought andfear, of sight and sound, and ail otheremotion; and, with his imperious de-termination, ho chose to break the en-chantment; the real world crept backupon his senses; he heard the tuno, be-yond this cloud that wrapped them,

breaking again into its distinctive meas-ure, and, exerting his will, he controlledtheir steps, and paused at last besideMrs, Barnetta, and with a low bow, andwithout a word, gave Ilosa back iutothat lady's care, and passed into thecrowd and out of the place, and homoto his lonely rooms.

It was daybreak before he sought ro-pose, walking the floors till then, hardlyknowing what he did or what he thought,but intent upon conquraing himself.He would give the world for Bosa Mer-cier's love, but he would not give hispride. To him that pride meant -self-respect; to marry her, the child of opu-lence, meant either to sell himself for aprico or to reduce her to trouble andweariness in which her love might soonwear out. He did not doubt that lovenow; without a syllable's speech he feltsure of it. While it thrilled him wildlyand deeply, it oast a sudden shadow ofregret; ho only hoped, and cursed hisfate that forced him to hope such a thingthat presently the love would pass, andsome ono who would make her happierwould claim her. At length, with male-di."tions in the act, he emptied Mspockets of the gloves, handkerchiefs,and trifles there, and went to bed, withthe sun coming througg the curtain, and,worn out in body and mind, slept, to theblessed and thorough oblivion of all theworld.

When he awoke it was late in the day.All his trouble rushed over him, but in amoment all his will to repel it rose too.He dressed himself leisurely ; he meantto call that night on Miss Mercier, re-store her handkercHSef that he had for-gotten to give back after the dance, andin some indirect way let her know thathe intended never to marry, and so sealliis doom beyond hope. He went intothe next room when he had completed

bis toilet, and after attending to ono or j * ^ e 1 ^ .two other affairs, looked for the hand-kerchief that he remembered to bayetaken from his pocket and to have tossedui)on the table there. I t was not on thetable ; it was nowhere in the room. Ina panic he rung the bell, and when it wasanswered, instituted an inquiry concern-ing the tiling. Yes, indeed, Susan hadseen it, and thought it was so yellow amisoiled she would take it down and washit. "Loj-s, sir, it was tlie dirtiest little

Tho August Epoch of Meteors and l?lre-ISulls—Former Great Star Showers.

[From the New York Herald.]The earth having now fairly entered

that portion of its orbit round the sunduring which it comes in contact the firsttime this year with meteoric showers,we may look during the next few even-ings for displays in the heavens of fire-works on a magnificent scale. It is truethat meteors appear in their, grandestaspect and in greatest number everythirty-throe years, but this law, as de-termined by observation of astronomers,is not unchangeable. Tho phenomenaoccur to a greater or less extent twiceevery year, August and November.

The origin of meteors was long with-out receiving a satisfactory explanation,that most generally accepted being thatthey were caused by the existence ofinflammatory gases in tho atmosphere.The ignis faluus, no doubt, is producedin this way, for it has been found tochange its motion by the slight currentof air preceding a person walking to-ward it. But the immense velocity ofthe meteors that appear in August andNovember, which is about equal to twicethat of the earth in its orbit, or thirty-six miles in a second, and the great ele-vation at which they become visible, theaverage being sixty miles, indicateclearly that they are not of terrestrialbut coswical origin—that is, they orig-inate from the interplanetery regions,innumerable fragments of neavenlybodies that have been shattered topiecea traversing space, and, beingbrought within the sphere of the earth'sattraction, precipitate themselves uponits surface. Moving with the great ve-locity mentioned through the higherregions of the air they become so in-

rag," she said.% " Just straw-color. AndI thought I wo'uld give it a run throughthe tub and blueing and make it fit to beseen."

"Good heavens 1" he cried, with ahorrified flash of remembrance of havingsomewhere heard that the yellower lacewas the more precious it was, and thatitnever was washed on any account exceptby people who did nothing else. "Le tme have it at once." And in five min-utes afterward Susan stood before himholding up a little limp rag, and with apang as from the blow of something un-known and dreadful, the conversationthat he had heard a year or two ago,swept back upon his recollection.

Five hundred dollars! And gone togrief in a moment I And he could nomore replace it than he could fly, with-out what was the same to him as abso-lute ruin. Of course, he must replacei t ; he could not be indebted, throughthe stupidity of his servant, or throughany other moans, to Miss Mercier inthat sum. Without any doubt she val-ued such a bit of lace ; and if anythingwere needed to demonstrate to him thewisdom of the course, he had decided on,and the uttter absurdity of having dared,for a single moment, to look with loveon ono of these darlings of fortune, itwas the fact that her handkerchiefsalone were items of $500. What ashame! what wickedness! what a pre-posterous folly! How could a youngman marry ? He burned with indigna-tion then.

But to replace i t ; one-third of thosum he was saving to redeem his littleproperty from mortgage—all the moneyhe really had in tho world beyond thatfor his daily expenses 1 It was the ruinof his hopes, his ambitions, his pride,that scorned so to bo anybody's debtor;

by friction that they ig-nite, or are at least rendered visible, andare either converted into vapor, or,when very large, explode and descendto the earth's surface as meteoric stonesor aerolites. Prof. Thomson, of theBritish Association, says that they are"small bodies which come into theearth's atmosphere, and the instant theytouch it their surfaces are heated be-yond the point of fusion or even of vola-tilization, and the consequence is that, qthey are speedily and completely burneddown and reduced to impalpable ox-ides." The brilliancy and color of me-teors are variable; some are as bright asVenus or Jupiter. About two-thirdsare white, the remainder yellow, orangeor green. The problem of their originmust be regarded as the same with thatof tho asteroids, revolving around thesun between the orbs of Mars and Jupi-ter, and of the planets themselves.Some astronomers consider their originprecisely the same as that of the comets,which may be regarded as only meteorsof vast size.

The shower of 1799 was awful andsublime beyond description. It waswitnessed by Humboldt at Oumana, inSouth Ameriea, and is thus described:"Toward the morning of the 13th ofNovember, 1799, we witnessed a mostextraordinary scene of shooting meteors.Thousands of bolides and falling ' starssucceeded each other during the fourhours. Their direction was very regu-larly from north to south, and from thebeginning of the phenomenon there wasnot a space in the firmament equal inextent to tliree diameters of the moonwhich was not filled every instant withbolides or falling stars. All the meteorsleft luminous traces or phosphorescentbands behind them, which lasted sevenor eight seconds." The same phenomenawas seen throughout nearly the wholeof North America and South Americaand in some parts of Europe. The mostsplendid display of shooting stars onrecord was that of Nov. 13, 1833, and isespecially interesting as having served topoint out the periodicity ia these phe-nomena. Over the northern portion ofthe American continent the spectaclewas of the most imposing grandeur, andin many parts of the country tho popu-lation were terror-stricken at the awful-

business till nightfall, when he cameback to his dreary rooms and made him-self ready to call at Mrs. Barnetta's.

The night had never seemed so beau-tiful, the stars so large and keen and farabove the earth, so remote and cold—they typified ali the dear and happythings of life forever removed fromhim. His heart was chilled and his facowas white when ho stood at last in Mrs.Barnotta's drawing-room, and she float-ed forward to meet him. He had notasked for Miss Mercier.

" It is a delicate errand, Miss Barnet-ta," said he, with a dreary attempt atsmiling. "But the truth is that mymaid, in her officious kindness,'has donesuch damage to a bit of Miss Mercier'sproperty that I must replace it. Aud Ihuve come to beg you, out offriendship for me, to transact the K,if such an article can be replaced here.I believe these little trifles are rathercostly, and, if you will procure one"—and he laid the check he had drawn thatmorning and the little limp rag in Mrs.Barnetta's hand—"as like the originalas possible, I "

"My dear Mr. Malvin, what in theworld are you talking of ?" cried Mrs.Barnetta. "Have you money to throwabomt in this way ? Five hundred dollars—what is it for?"

" To replace Miss Mercier's handker-chief, if you will be so good as to makethe purchase."

" Like this ?" said Mrs. Barnetta, hold-ing up the limp rag by one corner.

"Likethat ," said Lucian." Oh, that is too good I" cried Mrs.

Barnetta, with a peal of laughter. "I tis too good, it is too absurd ! Whatcreatures men are ! Did you imaginethat this bit of finery was worth all that—this little strip of grass-cloth and Ger-man laco ? No wonder tho young mendon't marry then ! My dear Mr. Malvin,this miserable handkerchief cost exact-ly $2.50, and was nearly worn out atthat. Did you imagine, too, that mypoor little llosa could wear $500 hand-kerchiefs, -without a cent to her name ?"

" Without a 'lent to her name ?" criedLucian, springing to his feet.

The display, however, wasnot witnessed in this country, but inEngland was quite brilliant, as many as8,000 meteors being counted at theGreenwich Observatory. Another show-er of less extent occurred in 1867, and arecord has been kept at the Naval Ob-servatory, Washington, of the numberof shooting luminous bodies that ap-peared in the months of August andNovember in each year since.

The Countries in tho Fight.There is a good deal of difference in

the provinces and principalities whicharo battling more or less with Turkey atthis time. Ssrvia is the largest andmore powerful State, with the mostspirited and progressive people, and hasreached tho highest stage of materialand moral development. Montenegrois tho ether independent power in alli-ance with Servia, a small State witha mountainous country and no richmeadow lands from which to accumu-late wealth ; her isolation has given herpeople a singular mixture ef austerevirtues, barbaric ignorance and warlikeferocity. Between these two lies Bos-nia, a province of Turkey, a part ofwhich is Herzegovina. Bosnia containsabout 600,000 male population (thewomen are not counted in the Turkishcensus), very evenly divided betweenTurks and Christians, the former repre-.«.!nting converts from the old nobility,the latter the descendants of the ancientserfs. Next to Servia, on the Danube,lies Bulgaria, another province of some-what different race and character, al-though Christians. AH of these peoplebelonged to tho old Servian empire,which was overthrown in the fourteenthand fifteenth centuries, but in Bulgariathe nobility were exterminated, leavingtho serfs, who have never attained thepolitical spirit of tho provinces nearerChristendom, although they have clungto their religion. They havo secededfrom tho Greek Church, and constitutea Christian communion of their own.They are thoroughly under the Turkishthumb, and are not counted good fight-ing stock.—Springfield {Mass.) Repub-lican.

A Wholesome Lesson.There is a wholesome lesson for child-

ren in the following little story, and itmay not be unprofitable to the manygrown-up ones who take a strange de-light hi the painful exhibitions of menunder the influence of liquor: A littlegirl in Eeadiiig, Pennsyvlnuiti, saw anold drunken man lying on a door-step,tho perspiration ^pouring from his face,

a crowd of children preparing to

make fun of him. She took her littleapron and wiped his faco, and thenlooked up so pitifully to tho rest, andmade this remark : " Oh, say, don't hurthim! He's somebody's grandpa."

Death of the Tongueless Woman.Mrs. Mary C. Burnham, whose mis-

fortuue of losing her tongue attracted somuch attention two years ago. died inEootstown, Friday, July 28, 1876. Mra.Burnham had been afflicted for abouttwenty years with a bronchial or throatdifficulty. Her tongue became paral-yzed, and she gradually lost the use ofthis member. During this time herhealth was generally good. On Tues-day, January 25, 1874, she had a spellof bleeding of the tongue and throat inthe forenoon. While at dinner, being,to all appearances, choked with a pieceof meat, with an effort to expel it hertongue fell out of her mouth. A councilof physicians was held, at which it wasdisclosed that under her tongue there wasa cancer, which, enlarging, had de-stroyed that member, as above stated.Soon after this decision a new theorywas developed, some of these medicalmen denying that there was a canoroidcondition of the tongue and throat.They asserted that the tongue had beendestroyed by catarrh, which had sev-ered the nervous connection of thetongue and throat,paralyzing the tongue,which was followed by the natural decayof the connections of the tongue. Thebasis of this theory was the sound con-dition of the tongue and the apparenthealing of the throat and mouth. Mrs.Burnham felt no unusual pain at thetime. Strange as it may seem, Mrs.Burnham, while her tongue was paral-yzed, so cultivated a control of the otherorgans of speech, that after her tonguewas lost she was able to make herselfunderstood by those accustomed to hearher. The singular loss of the tongueproduced considerable astonishment atthe time, and occasioned not a littlecomment. The death of Mrs. Burnhamwas occasioned by the same disease thatdestroyed her tongue. After the loss ofher tongue the same disease attackedother organs, consuming vital parts;producing eventually a stroke of paraly-sis, after which she was unable to swal-low, and literally starved to death. Mrs.Burnham was able, after the loss of hertongue, to perform her household dutiesas usual up to this spring, when shecommenced to fail. She was confinedto her bed for almost twelve weeks priorto her death.—Ravenna (O.) Democrat.

A Gentlemanly Robbery.A correspondent writes from Cadiz,

Spain : On Monday the diligence fromSeville to Huelva was robbed at 10 p.m., hardly three miles from San Lucarla Mayor. Every one in Huelva is giv-ing the most contradictory versions ofthe affair, but the story is as follows :The robbers were ensconced in some drytrenches near the road, and some amongthe growing crops near Molinillo, whena passenger saw that, although the nightwas calm, the wheat-ears were moving.In a moment up sprang twenty men, fiveof whoa were mounted, and cried' Alto !' (halt) to the coachman. Thehorses were stopped, the postilionsthrown to the ground, one being hurt.Then the robbers drew the diligence aa good way off the main road, made thepassengers lie down on their faces, boundthem with cords, and then pacified themin their terror by saying, " No one hereshall be harmed ; it is not our purposeto harm any one." To one gentlemantraveling with his wife they said, " Yourwife is as safe here as in her own house ;"and they behaved like gentleman to all.They then asked Don Antonio Sund-jheim for the keys of the cash-box, whichcontained $42,000 for the wages of theEio Tinto miners. On his refusal theybegan to maltreat him, but one of theleaders interfering said, "Never mal-treat Don Antonio." They then askedthe conductor, ' ' How many cash boxes ?""Nine." "Come down." One manhad 20,000 reals in gold in a belt aroundhis waist. They took his revolver andspared his gold, their object evidentlybeing to rob the coach of the Eio Tintomine property. The robbery was com-mitted by men who knew the time andway of sending the monthly payments.Some of tho robbers had their facesblackened ; some seemed to be gentle-men and not in their usual clothes. Theydid not commit the robbery like menused to such deeds, as they actually leftbehind them one of the cash-boxes.They plundered the private passengers.Tho whole amount stolen would be, per-haps $39,000. They took the cash-boxesaway strapped on the coach mules."

A College of Cookery.At last a practical step has been taken

toward emancipating the people fromthe evils of bad cookery. We know ofno department in domestic economywhich is so sadly in need of reform, es-pecially in the United States. Mr. Wil-liam Emerson Baker, of the sewing ma-chine firm of Grover & Baker, has givento tlie Governor of Massachusetts and tolour other trustees a farm of fifty acresand $50,000, to form a college of cook-ery. Cookery is to be taught as an art—which it certainly is—and the pupils areto be instructed in the scientific prin-ciples which underlie wholesome cook-ery. The horrible pies, fried meats,hot bread, and other dyspepsia-generat-ing compounds, together with the inex-plicable concoctions produced by theverdant Milesian handmaid, let us hope,are doomed to disappear; and instead,our kitchens are to be tenanted in futureby culinary artists able to prepare, prl-atably and healthfully, the vast varietyof food this country affords.—ScientificAmerican.

THE TUKCOSEKV1AN WAR.

The Defeat of the Servians—What Next?[From the New York Tribune.]

There is no longer any doubt that thoServian line of defense has been com-pletely broken, and that the whole coun-try now lies open to Turkish invasion.Tho capture of Gurgusovatz rendersboth Saitschar and Alexinatz untenable,and it is scarcely possible that the rem-nants of the Servian army can be con-centrated in any new defensive position.Gen. Tchernayeff has shown that he isno match for Osman Pasha; he has prob-ably been outgeneraled from the begin-ning, and his whole campaign must beset down as an inglorious failure. Wecannot assume that a people so warlikeand so eager for the present conflict asthe Servians have shown any lack ofbravery; but the most galiant troops inthe world lose both faith and force whenthey feel that they are badly command-ed. If the report be true that Gen.Tchernayeff failed to send reinforce-ments to Gurgusovatz in timo to savethe place, his incompetency is equivalentto treason.

For the past fortnight the movementsot the Turkish army have been so rapidand well directed that the chance nowopened to it is sure to be seized. Thetwo roads into the valley of the Morawa—one from Gurgusovatz to Banja andAlexinatz, and the other from Saitscharto Paratjin (Prince Milan's headquarters)—cannot bo held by the defeated, scat-tered, and demoralized Servians. Arapid advance of the Turks will open forthem the way to Belgrade, before reach-ng which the Danube gives them a new

base of supplies. If the struggle weresolely between Seryia and Turkey, theipeedy triumph of the latter power

might now be accepted as certain.But the interests involved extend far

beyond the question of the independence>f a province or two. The latter is therery least of them. The features of aong-delayed yet inevitable religioussonflict become every day more ap-parent. The horrible massacre in Bul-jaria, incredible as they seemed at first,prove to have been scarcely exaggerated.The released fanaticism of Islam hashelped Osman Pasha to his victories,and the march of the Turks throughServia will leave only blood and ashesbehind it. Such devices as are employedn Constantinople, of enlisting Christen

vagabonds tfnder a banner blazoned withthe cross and crescent, side by side, de-jeive Europe no longer. Even in Eng-land the conventional pro-Turkish feel-ing is rapidly dying out ; the LondonTimes of yesterday simply gives a lateexpression to a sentiment which has beenspreading and growing for two months

past, until it has become something veryike indignation at the cool, indifferentattitude of the Government. Even theplea of maintenance of the Ottomanpower in Europe, as a political neces-ity, will have little weight in the faceif such evidence as has now been fur-

nished to the world.The defeat of Servia is thus coincident

with an immense accession of sympathy'or the interests she represents. If for-tune further deserts her arms—as ismost probable—it will be impossible toprevent that sympathy from moving toher aid. On the other hand, the hateand barbarity of the Turks, who seembent on reviving the spirit of the seventhsentury, and are hardly restrained by a(Government still in a state of revolution,will be stimulated to new atrocities. In:he present temper of the people, successmeans excess. How long will the policy)f non-intervention tolerate such a situ-ation ? It is already responsible for sev-eral weeks of slaughter. If either a

ueopean war or a barbarous and hi tol-erable peace is to be avoided, the greatPowers must not lose another day.They must agree upon some temporaryplatitude, as heretofore, and enforce apacification upon the basis of completeand guaranteed protection to all theOhristian subjects of Turkey.

A Turkish Pasha.Albert Wolff writes to the Courier des

Etats Unis: To understand the Turks it.s necessary to see them at home. Thome who has astonished me most is cer-tainly his Highness Mustapha FazylPasha, brother of the Viceroy of Egypt.He is known to Parisians. They haveseen his Highness either upon tho Ital-i s , or at Baden, or at Hombourg.With us, he was a man of the world,who amused himself; at home, Musta-pha Fazyl Pasha is a Grand Seigneur in-deed. His house is much the most no-table in Constantinople. When I sayhis house, it is a figure of speech, forthere is not upon the two banks of theBosphorus a palace vast enough to accom-modate tho suite of this Prince withouta throne, this Minister without a port-folio.

At Candilli, on tho Asiatic side, Mus-tapha Pasha has a palace of forty win-dows front, where his Highness lodgesand feeds two hundred persons, men,women, and eunitchs. Throe or fourkilometres distant, on the other heightsof Tchamlidja, in another palace, he hastwo hundred persons additional, makingfour hundred, without taking into ac-count the Egyptian residence, wherethe old domestics or invalided slavesend their days in a pleasant retreat.

In all, Mustapha Fazyl Pasha supportsfive hundred persons every day, andover and above these five hundred, threehundred enrich themselves in his service.

Wealth Without Its Anxieties.Tho newsboys who gather about in the

afternoon awaiting the publication hourof tho evening papers are either fairlyrolling in wealth or their conversation isto some extent imaginative. Said onoof them to another:

"Billy, did per buy that $50 plaidsummer suit I seed yer lookin' at in awinder Saturday? "

" No, Blinkey, I didn't take it in.Ther wuz only ono watch pocket in thetrowsers an' I allus carries two tickers,one ter c'rect t'other by."

" B u t yer ain't goin' ter wear yerarmy britches all summer, be yer, 'spec-ially when yer go drivin' evenin's ? "

"No, Blinkey, my dear, I ain't," wasBilly's grave reply, " but don't yer worryabout me. It's silk undercioz as pre-serves my precious health. Silk's thething, Biinkey."

Effects of Lightning.A singular occurrence lately trans-

pired in the northern part of Putnamand the southern portion of Dutchesscounties, New York. After a violentthunder-storm, accompanied by an unu-sual amount of chain lightning and tor-rents of rain, dead wild-geese werepicked up by the hundred. Numbers ofthem had previously been observedalive in the "shallow ponds in the vicin-ity, and they were seen to act strangelyduring the 'storm, as though they hadboon fired upon. The heads of the deadfowl were badly torn and in some casestheir feathers were burned tp a crispand. their bodies burst open.

Two NEW and distinct breeds of sheephavo lately been introduced into Eng-land from the west coast of SouthAmerica. The first are two fine, white-wooled sheep, each having four *longmassive horns, two of which have a for-ward curve over the head, while theother two curve downward under theeyes, giving the head a singular appear-ance. Of the second, which are said tobe a species between tho llama and al-paca, there are three, one male and twofemales, which are thickly covered withlong dark brown, but exceptionally finehair, or wool, which is highly prized bythe native Indians for the manufactureof their more delicate fabrics. The rnalostands about three feet high at theshoulder.

GEORGE R. DREW, a Vermont farmer,had the following to say at a farmers'festival: " Farming can be made morepleasant by making a business of it, andnot attending to too many other thingsat the same time. And then by notoverworking. I think there has beenimprovement in this respect, but thereis need of more still. I have said Iwould not take the gift of a farm andbe obliged to work as I did when a boy.I now see the policy of giving childrenand young folks a great deal of recrea-tion. 1 am sure that more work can bedone in a long run by working ten hoursa day than by being actively engaged forfonrtten hours. Also, we should not betoo much confined at home ; we shouldgo away occasionally, and many timeswe might gain enough to make up forour lost time."

AT a recent meeting of the alumnusclub of the Agricultural college, Prof.Gulley spoke of the management ofhired help. He said there are two req-uisites : first, you need the right kind ofmen as managers, and secondly you needthe right kind of employes. Some menalways havo trouble with their help,while others get along well with every-body. In general, the nearer help ap-proaches to a mere machine, it is prac-tically the most valuable. Educatedhelp would be better, provided theywould be content to do their work wellfor the wages paid. Ho gave a detaileddescription of the management of thehelp on liis farm at Dearborn, and alsoof the way in which Ferry's seed farm ismanaged. Prof. Gulley boarded hishands and worked them from daylight todark, giving them one hour for nooning.He allowed them no responsibility, butgave them directions for doing every-thing.—Michigan paper.

RAMS at a certain season of the yeardevelop combative propensities, andtheir fights frequently terminate fatally.A correspondent of the Ohio Farmerhas hit on a novel method of preventinga display of their rude butting warfare.He says: " I t is well known that theyalways 'back up' to get a start to butt.Stop their backing up and you discon-cert them entirely. To do this,, take alight stick (a piece of broom-handle willdo), about two or two and a half feetlong. Sharpen one end, and lash thootter end securely to his tail; thosharpened end will then draw harmlesslyon the ground behind a.s long as hismajesty goes straight ahead about hisbusiness ; but on the attempt to " backup " he is astonished to find an effectualbrake in the rear. Don't laugh and callthis ' all gammon,' but if you have abutting ram, try it, and the time tolaugh will be when you see him jumpout sideways, and whirl round andround, trying to upset the machine,which will keep behind him."

About tho House.A LADY correspondent of the German-

town Telegraph says that few peopleknow that pieces of horse-radish, with asmall bag of allspice, added to the vine-gar of pickles improves their flavor andprevents mold.

TOMATO OMELET.—Tomatoes, ripe,peeled, sliced and thickened with breadcrumbs, and seasoned with salt, pepper,chopped parsley, sugar and butter. Toeveiy pint of this mixture add ono beatenegg. Sprinkle bread crumbs over thetop; bake forty minutes in a vegetabledish. This is a nice dish for dinner.

ONE of the most frequent causes ofleaky roofs is the forming of an ice-dam,beginning at the gutter and graduallybacking up till the water flows throughunder slates or shingles. A simple wayof preventing this is to detach the gut-ters an HB inch or two from the eaves andhang them on iron stirrups, or other-wise, so that the water can flow freelyover tho backs as well as the fronts.

MR. WILLITS told his constituents atthe Opera House meeting on Fridayevening last, that the hard times, thedepression in business, the lack of con-fidence which prevents a revival, werein no way chargeable to administrativecorruption, to official extravagance, orupon any party. Individual extrava-gance is at the bottom of allour ills, public and social, our would-be Congressman would have the votersbelieve. In proof, he ventured the as-sertion that there were now, in thisCongressional district, ten pianos forevery one owned in it in 1861. In fur-ther proof, he declared that he " wellremembered when the first $1,500 bed-room set was brought into Monroe (thatis whore Willits resides), and that itwas a curiosity and a wouder. Andnow such bedroom sets are to be foundall through the district." Perhaps thatmay be, though we think there is reas-onable doubt about the figure, $1.500;but conceding such individual extrava-gance (which really exists only in Mr.Willit's mind), we mistrust he will havehard work to convince the mechanicwho is out of work, or the laboring manwho does not know where his morrow'sdinner is to como from, that his extrav-agance has bred the corruption in highplacos ; that his extravaganoo has caus-ed government officials to rob the treas-ury ; or that hh extravagance has ledthe Senate of the United States to re-fuse its assent to measures of economy,to a reduction of the number of office-holders and their salaries, aud the con-sequent increase of taxation.

Dated, August 8, 1876.

SPEAKER KERR is in a critical condi-tion at Bock Alum Springs, Vs., andsinking rapidly.

MR. WEBBER'S a letter accepting thenomination for Governor, is out, and isfull of pith and point. We shall giveit to our readers next week.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, son of onePresident and grandson of another, haswritten a letter in which he says thathe will vote for Samuel J. Tilden forPresident.

GRANT has turned economist at thelast, and signs the River and Harborbill under protest: protesting tLat hewon't expend any of the moneys forany object not purely national.

TnE Republican Senate tacked a pro-vision to the Postoffice Appropriationbill restoring the franking privilege,but it didn't go through the DemocraticHouse. Stick a pin there.

IF THOSE Germans who used to boast"we fight mit Sigel" wish to "voteuiit Sigel" they will have to vote forTilden and Hendricks. That is whatGen. Sigel says he shall do.

Gov. HENDRICKS has issued a procla-mation commanding the railroad brake-men who are stopping trains to disperse,and advising them that the laws mustbe obeyed. He does n't proposo to callon Washington for aid.

THE Democrats of the Fourth Con-gressional district have nominated Hon.Henry Chamberlain ; and in the Fifthdistrict, Hon. Myron Harris, of Ottawa,a member of the present Legislature, isthe candidate. Both nominations mighthave been bettered.

THE Secretary of War has issued anorder to Gen. Sherman to hold all sparetroops ready for use in tho South. Toprotect all citizens in the exercise of therights of suffrage he puts it: to carrythe South for Hayes by the use of thobayonet is what he moans. The Con-servatives of the South must give nopretense or excuse for the use of troops.

THE House adop'tod a Constitutionalamendment prohibiting the use ofschool funds for sectarian institutions ;but the Senate amended it and thenfailed to get the necessary two-thiidsvote. It is the Republican Senatewhich blocks the whoels. So that elec-tioneering dodge of tho Cincinnatiplatform is disposed of.

WE BELIEVE in making the campaignaggressive instead of defensive, and donot thereforo propose to fool away muchspace or time in defending Mr. Tildonagainst the attacks of Ropublican or-gans or speakers. However, we permita contributor to use' space enough thisweek to refute and effectually dispose ofthree or four of the loading slanderswhich constitute so large a part of theRopublican campaign stock in trade.Read the article carefully and preserveit for future use.

Messrs. Willits and Cutiheon spoke forHayes and Wheeler at Ann Arbor OperaHouse last night.-—Ypsilanti Commercial

And never a word did they say aboutHayes and Wheeler, or their qualifica-tions for the offices for which thoy arocandidates. Had their hearers not

. known who Hayes and Wheeler werethoy would have been none the wiserwhen Willits and Cutcheou got throughthan when they commencod. And thiswas tho first " Ropublican Rally " ofthe campaign,—tho ratification meet-ing.

HON. SCOTT LORD, of New York,(Dem.), took the Republican bull by thehorns on Thursday of last wook, by theiutroduction of a preamblo and resolu-tion condemning all attempts by force,fraud, terror, intimidation, or other-wise, " to prevent the free exercise ofthe right of suffrage in any State," anddemanding " certain, condign, and effec-tual punishment," in all cases, whetherpast orjuture. It was passed with buttwo negative votes, and only thirty-onevoted against tho preamblo, and thosebecause they thought it tacitly admit-ted tho perpetration of such outrages,—which thoy denied. Will Bro. Cutcheonread this preamble and resolution whonnext he arrays the Democratic partyon this issue ?

dividual extravagance is at the root ofthe calamities now staring the peopleand the nation in the face, but govern-montal—both legislative and executive—imbecility, official dishonesty andcorruption. Mr. Willits would do wellto change his tune.

MR. S. M. CUTCHEON thought hemade a telling point at the OperaHouse meeting on Friday evening last,when he charged that the " Confeder-ate Doorkeeper " of the " ConfederateHouse " had discharged sixty-seven Un-ion soldiers, employes in various capac-ities and tilled their places with Confed-erato soldiers. Now Mr. Fitzhugh maynot be, as he imagined, " a bigger manthan old Grant," nevortheloss Mr.Cutcheon should do him justice. Inthe last House there were 103 employesunder the doorkeeper, of whom but 19were Union soldiers, either able bodiedor wounded, so that Mr. Fitzhugh byno possibility oould have discharged 67.In the present House there were underMr. Fitzhugh, Februnry 4, two fullmonths after the House was organized,and wTftn the corps was complete, 123employes,—a saving of 30 employes andtheir salaries. Of these, 35 men hadserved in the Union army,—almostdouble the number of Union soldiersgiven places by Mr. Fitzhugh's prede-cessor,—and only 10 in the Confederatearmy. Of the whole number, 109 tookthe " iron-clad oath," (does Mr. Cutch-eon know what that is ?) and only 14took the modified oath. 11 of Mr.Fitzhugh's appointments were colored

AS INDICTMENT AND ANSWER.It was the misfortune of the Repub-

lican party that in 1872 its best menaud purest loaders felt constrained towithdraw from it their allegiance. Themen who, like Chase, Sumner, andGreeley, had rocked tho cradle of theparty and led it by the hand from in-fant feebleness to the full maturity ofits strength, saw that the perpetuationof the party in power augured ill fortho prosperity and happiness of thecommon people of our common country.They therefore came out from it, shookthe very dust from their feet, and wash-ed their hands of all responsibility forits future. Before the whole nationthey charged it with incompotency,with lack of statesmanship, with thofell policy of hate and discord and sec-tional animosity, with keeping alivefor party ends the angry feelings en-gendered by civil war, and last, but notleast, with a degeneracy and corruptionin the civil sorvice that had been hith-erto unknown. And the men so charg-ing, be it remembered, were the fathersof the party. When a child is desertedby those who have carried it in theirbosoms, dandled it upon their knees,and proclaimed themselves the respon-sible authors of its existence, it may bewell supposed that somewhere somo-thiug is radically wrong.

IT IS eleven years since the close ofthe war of the rebellion, eleven yearsand more since Gen. Grant accepted thesurrender of the rebel army, through itscommanders, guaranteeing officers andsoldiers against trial and punishmentfor their crimes against the Union. ItIB eleven years that the work of " res-toring " the Union has been going on,and yet we are told that rebellion isrampant to-day all through the South,that tho Union is bound together onlyby " a rope of sand," that slavery is notdead but only sleeps, and that the Re-publican party must be continued inpower or the fruits of the war lost. ' Itis almost eight years since Gen. Grant,tho man who uttered the words " Letus have peace " was placed at the helm,and yet we are told that " thoro isno peace," that the nation slumbers ontho brink of a volcano, and that noth-ing but four years more of Grantismwill prevent sure and immediate de-struction. Eleven years of peace andeight years of Grant, and every intor-est in the broad land staggering undertho burdens of depressed business, andbankruptcy and rum staring states andcities and people in the face ; elevenyears of peace and eight years of Grantand no star of hope in tho future. Andis such imbecility to be continued.!' Isnot a change desirable and necessary ?

THE Kalamazoo Gazette raises thepoint of Judge Keightly's ineligibilityto an election to Congress,—not a verytenable one, however, as it is not with-in the province or power of the Michi-gan Constitution to define and pre-scribe the qualifications of a member ofCongress or other United States officer.The Detroit Tribune sees the point, re-fers to the case of Judge Sutherland,exactly parallel, and adds: " Did theGazette also fail to notice that last weeknearly a score of votes were cast in theEighth District Convention of its partyfor Judge Moore, Mr. Sutherland's suc-cessor ? " And did the Tribune fail tonotice or remember that Judge Mooreis not a judge, and has not been withina year,

WHILE Cutcheon was fighting thewar over again at Ypsilanti, on {Satur-day evening last, and giving tho oldrebols and to-day " confederates," as hesees fit to style tho Democrats, particu-lar fits, an old soldier in his audiencetook the wind out of him by exclaiming," What brigade were you in ? The onlytime I met you during tho war waswhen I was home on furlough." Cutch-eon had a flea in his ear just at thatmoment, and showed no signs of hoar-ing. " Discretion is the better part ofvalor " was the motto that tied Cutch-eou's tongue just then.

to say that for the last ten years thocountry has been steadily growingpolitically worse. To-day the indict-ment against tho party is simply un-answerable. A country can endure al-most anything save fraud, peculation,and corruption. These caused bothGreece and Rome to go to pieoes. Suchthings aro simply the ruin of a country,and are the shadows of its politicaldestruction. Public virtue is the vitalspark in the body politic of a republi-can government,, and when that diesthe political life of a nation dies with it.Was ever a party summoned before thebar of public opinion xo answer suchan indictment for fraud and corruptionas is the Republican party in the com-ing election ? The indictment shows"a "Vice-President censured and dis-graced ; a late Speaker of the House ofRepresentatives marketing his rulingsas a presiding officer ; three Senatorsprofiting secretly by their votes as law-makers; five chairmen of the leadingcommittees of the House of Representa-tives exposed iu jobbery; a late Secre-tary of the Treasury foicing balancesin the public accounts; a late Attorney-General misappropriating public funds;a Secretary of the Navy enriched orenriching friends by percentages leviedoff the profits of contracts with his de-partment ; an embassador to Englandcensured in a dishonorable speculation;the President's private secretary escap-ing conviction upon trial for guiltycomplicity in frauds upou the revenue ;a Secretary of War impeached for highcrimes aud confessed misdemeanors."Aud in conclusion, it might be added,the Bristows, Jewells, and Pratts forcedto retire because they woro honest menat war with thioves!

What is the answor made to this in-dictment for shameful moral and politi-cal guilt. It comes in the shape of theCincinnati convention endorsing the ad-ministration, &nd the administrationleaders nominating Hayes, and Hayesendorsing the aforesaid endorsement oftho administration, and last of all, Gen.Grant endorsing and congratulatingHayes in order that everything may belovoly and nothing lacking. It comostoo in tho shape of vilo slanders of itsprosecutors and its opponents. Slan-ders doubly false and wicked as weshall prove. What shall be thought ofa party putting in such an answer tosuch an indictment 1 A party that hasto fall back upon lies and slanders isnear its deserved ond.

SLANDEH FIRST.

That Samcel J. Tildon was in 1868the author of an electioneering printedcircular whose purport was fraud uponthe ballot box. In answor it is saidthat his name was used without his

This statement of Mr. Marble cannotbe impeached, and besides is essentiallycorroborated by Hon. A. C. Baldwin ofthis State, who was a member of theplatform committee, and who assertsthat " Mr. Tilden joined vigorously indenouncing that portion of the platform"All of which quite effectually disposesof slandor numbor two.

SLAXDER THIRD,

That Samuel J. Tilden is a dishonestrailroad vulture, having disgraced him-self in transactions with the St. Louis,Alton & Terra Haute Railroad Co. Theefficient answer to this charge is thatthe New York Tribune, a warm suppor-tor of Hayes' election, stamps it an em-phatic lie. In its issue of Aug. Hth,1876, it said:

The answer of Hov. Tilden and other de-fendants concerned iu the St. Louis, Alton &Torre Haute Railroad Company trausactions, ifllong, but perspicuous and to the point. It allowsthat tthe company was immensely benefitedby the accession of (iov. Tilden aud his triendsto its control. The transactions in tho stockwere individual acts and not those of trustees.Tho amounts paid Mr. Tildeu for legal servic-es were for specific work, aud his chargeswere loss than they might justly have beenmade. In short, thoro is no apparent occasiontor the mud-throwing about this business inwinch some of Gov. Tilden's opponents haveso vigorously indulged.

All of which, coming from the politi-cal, opposition answers fully lyingcharge number three.

SLANDER FOURTH.

That Samuel J. Tilden was hand inglove with Wm. M. Tweed until theexposure of his iniquity was made bythe New Hork Times. The answer tothis charge is equally conclusive—not loss so we imagine because takonfrom tho Times itself. In the first placethe Times was engaged in praisingTweed as a reformer, who had planedNew York City and all Manhattan Is-land under obligations to him—this be-ing but one year previous to its expos-ure of him, and while he was engag-ed in getting the Tweed charterwhich gave the ring complete con-trol of the city. The proof of this isto be found in a Times editorial of April8th, 1870:

Senator Tweed is in a fair way to distin-guish himseit as a reformer. Having gone BOfar as the champion of the new election billand charter, he seems to have no idea ofturning back. Perhaps, like Macbeth, hothinks that under existing circumstances, " re-turning was as tedious as go o'er," but at allevents he has put the people of ManhattanIsland under heavy obligations to him. * *

* We trust that Senator Tweed will man-ifeBt the same energy in the advocacy of thislast reform which has marked his actions withregard to the charter. [This charter aud elec-tion bill put Naw York into the hands of thering]

In the second place Mr. Tildon wasactually opposing Tweed and his gangbefore the exposure, and while thoTimes, together with the Republicansin the Legislature, were sustaining andaiding them. The proof oomes in thoform of a Times editorial of April 12th,1870:

Let us be thankful—only we have a vagueidea that the Republicans were rather usefulto the authors of the new charter iu the re-cent contest. But for the Republicans theYoung Democracy (Mr. Tilden and his friends)might be at tho top ot the tree, and the grandsachems hanging all of a row to the lowerbranches. Mr. Hall and his associates willdoubtle&s show a proper appreciation of theassistance rendered them by the Republicanswhen the enoray was crying, " War to theknife, and the knife to the hilt."

accustomed to denounce the ring judg-es of Tweed, and began the movementfor judicial reform which ended intheir impeachment and forced removal.

We take it that these slandorouscharges aro sufficiently answered by theabove. They were answered too by thepeople of New York in 1874, when theyelected Mr. Tilden. Governor by over50,000 majority over Dix, who had him-self been elected in the preceding con-test by the same majority. They wereanswered in 1876 when Tammany Hall,thejCanal ring and the baser elements ofthe party conspired to defeat him in theSt. Louis Convention. They will be an-swerod again in November next whenan outraged and plundered people willhave elevated him to the highest posi-tion within their gift.

The repetition of these false and ma-licious charges shows that the Repub-lic.m party depends for its success onblinding and deceiving the people. Itsees that its only hope lies in trickeryand fraud. These charges reverbaratingthrough the empty, airy, and addlepatedheads of Republican leaders, is the cryof " stop thief !" coming from whitedsopulchres that within are full of deadmen's bones and all uncleanness.

knowledge or consent, and the proof isto be found in the testimony takon byby a Republican committee of investi-gation appointed by a Ropublican Con-gress, and sitting in New York City inDecember 1808. See Report No. 31,•10th Congress, 3d session, page 257.The following is an extract from thattestimony:

SAMUEL J. TILDEN sworn and examined.Question. State to the Committee what re-

lations you bore during the lost political caui-paigu to the political parties in this State.

Q. Do you know anybody who did it 'iA. 1 do not except as a matter ol mere sur-

nn.se.Q. Do you know whether Mr. Tweed did it

or not '<A. I do not.All of which very effectually disposes

of this infamous charge, being slandernumber one.

SLANDER SECOND.

That Samuel J. Tilden was chairmanof the platform committee of the Chi-cago convention in 1864, which putforth tho famous " peace platform," andthat he heartily favorod it. In answorwo present the letter Man ton Marble,a man whose personal honor has noverboon questioned by tho bitterest politi-cal foo :

Your telejjram has been shown me. Gov.Tildon was uot chairman ot the platform coin-mittee of the Chicago National Convention in1864 ; Jamos Guthrie, of Kentucky, was. Gov.Tilden opposed in committee that portion ofthe resolution, saving: "After four years offailure to restore the Union by the experimentof war," etc. Ho got it struck out and ovenrefused to agree to the resolution as amended.It was then irro<;ulurly restored. GovernorTilden at all stages refused to agroe to theresolution, and sent a message by me to Gen.McClelland, advising him to discard it iu hisletter of acceptance. Governor Tilden, more-over, made a speech in the Xew York delega-tion against the armistice, which was brieflyreported by (uu in the New York World and

And in a Times editorial of May 13,1871 :

Mr. Samuel J. Tilden is among the numer-ous Democratic lawyers who regard theamendments passed under the lash of Tweedand Sweeney as an outrage upon the people.

Also in a Times editorial of Aug. 17,1871:

There were a few indignant protests againstthe scheme (charter of 1S70) uttered by suchhigh-toned Democrats as Samuel J. Tildenaud others of his character; but they werewithout effect, for Tweed and Sweeney hadthe votes already bought up.

That the ring charter of Tweed'scould not have passed without tho aidof the Republicans in the Legislature,and that it received such aid, appearsfrom the following Times editorial ofApril 13, 1870:

The passage of the new charter and of theelection law—the latter by far the most sub-stantial reform of the two—could not havebeen secured without the help of tho Republi-cans iu the Legislature, and hence the creditof it is as much theirs as it is of the TweedDemocracy.

From the above editoiials the proofis positive that Tilden was not hand inglove with Tweed, and that while Til-den, the Young Democracy, and theNew York World were crying " War totho knife, and kuife to tho hilt,"tho Times was tho party hand in glovewith Tweed.

In tho third place, after the expos-ure Mr. Tilden was the man who carri-ed the war into Africa, as every oneknows, and thi t he actually held uptho hands of tho 'Times editors whenthey wero almost ready to give up thefight, will appear from Tilden's replyto tho Times published in 1873—wordsthat have hover been disputed :

About the middle of August, 1S71,1 stoppeda few days at Saratoga. There I mot Mr.George Jones of the Times. I had knownhim twenty years. He spoke freely to me.I saw no iudication that ho,thought the battlewas over. He seemed, rather, to feel its stress.I told him I should appear in the Hold at theproper time. Often afterwards, when I methim, he referred to that casual interview withapparent satisfaction. Some five or six weekslater—after Mr. Green was in as substitute forMr. Conolly—I went into the Comptroller'soflico. There sat Mr. Jennings, of the Times,and his colleague, Mr. Jones. The formersaid : " We want an interview with you."Mr. Green kindly gave us a room in the base-ment. When we had arrived there and wereseated, Mr. Jennings said: " Do you see auylight P " and weut on to say, in words whichI may not be able literacy to repeat, that thecontest was too exhausting to be continuedvery long. I stretched out my hand to himanil said: "Be of good cheer ! We shall winthis fight.1'

Moreover we assert, and defy contra-diotion from anyone who speaks fromknowledgo, that Gov. Tildon was nevera friend of Tweed's, and that he neverhad any intimate relations with him.Mr. Tilden held no office in the city ofNew York. He was simply chairmanof the Democratic State Committee,aud was so against the well-knownwishes of Tweed, who in 1869 tried todepose him in the State Conventionbut failed because seven-eighths of thoConvention were against him. We de-clare further that Mr. Tildeu was al-most uniformly elected to the Statoconventions from Columbia county,because the ring would not allow himto go from the city of New York. Fur-thermore, we assert as a matter of faot,that in 1870 Mr. Tildon appeared be-fore the Legislature and denounced inunsparing language, to Tweed's face, theiniquity of his ring charter. It is amatter of fact, too, that Mr. Tildun was

COMMENTING on tho canvass and bal-loting for Attorney-General in the lateDemocratic State Convention, the Lan-sing Republican, the editor-in-chief ofwhich journal occupied a seat upon theplatform, at the reporters' table, aays:

" The fact being brought out that Atkinsonhad supported Isaac Alarston for Attorney-General in tho, spring of 1873, sentence olpolitical death was immediately executed onhim. This will be the fate of every sympa-thizer with the Republican party, if the oldDemocratic Soldiers gain a victory."

Overlooking the fact that Isaac Mars-ton didn't run for " Attorney-Generalin the spring of 1875," or at any othertime, aud, therefore, that Col. Atkinsoncouldn't have " supported" him, weonly desire to suggest to our cotempo-rary that Mr. Atkinson was not beatenbecause he was he was an Irishman,nor because of the charge that he gaveaid and countenance to the election ofMarston as Associate Justice of theSupreme Court in 1875. Mr. Morriswas brought into the field early ; hisfriends, active, wide-awake, live youngmen, had pushed.him vigorously, as thecandidate and only candidate of theNinth discrict; while Mr. Atkinson'snamo'was not mentioned in connectionwith tho nomination until within a fewminutes of the ballot. It was the fableof " the early bird " ovor again.

J. WEBSTER CIIILDS " fell into line "on Friday evening last and followedMessrs. Willits and Cutcheon with thatsame old speech ho has been rehearsingfor years. There was nothing in it tomake a note of, and his appearance onthe platform was significant only as in-dicating that he takes his defeat in theCongressisnl Convention in better partthan two years ago, and that his friendsof the farming class, who a fortnightago thought it of the utmost import-ance that a farmer (Childs had toldthem so) be sent to Congress, have re-ceived new light on the subject, andwill not carry out their threats to " kickover the traces." Has Child's receivedassurances of support for the Senator-ship, or does he expect to succeedChandler as Secretary of the Interior?Perhaps he proposes to succeed W»ttsas Commissioner of Agriculture, andsuperintend the distribution of gardenand " posy" seods,—about the " heftiest"part of the duties of that office.

MR. EVAHTS is a sort of Republicancandidate for Governor of New York,and the Sun says that " the Evarts par-ty is increasing;" more than that, theSun Bays that it " has gained twenty-five per cent, within a few days past.And the same Sun says that the Evartsparty " originally consisted of three :"the " witty " Choate, the " ornamentaland transcendental" Curtis," and the" bravo " Gen. Barlow. Rush Hawkinshas become a " convert," and is the" gain " the Sun chronicles. Speakingfurther of Mr. Evarts as a candidate,the suiiii! journal remarks: " It hasbeen said that he would advooate theelection of the Demoeratio ticket thisautumn ; but we apprehend his valua-ble services will be more needed on theothor side. And again : " It is hintedthat Mr. Evart's professioual business istoo lucrative to be given up for the of-fico of Governor. That objection mightapply to his running as a Democraticcandidate; but if he runs as a Repub-lican, it will not interfere with his lawbusiness at all, except before election."Isn't the Sun disposed to treat the can-didate of Mr. Curtis—the man whonover lets tho opportunity slip to con-demn Grant while he is the steadiestdefender of Grantism—a little toolightly ?

MR. WILLITS told his auditors on Fri-day evening that 40 years ago he cameto this county with his father ; that ittook throe days to come out from Detroit; that he owes his education andculture and all he is to WashtenawCounty ; that twenty-one years ago he"spoke " his little piece at the Univer-sity and went out into the world ; th»tthe bones of his parents rest just up theHuron ; that he has a warm heart to-wards the citizous of old Wiishtenawand hopes that they will have a warmheart towards him in November; thatsuch Democrats as we have in Michiganwere honest, loyal, and to be trusted,but that the party hold the Union to bea league rathor than a nation ; that hehadn't read Tilden's letter of acceptancevery closely, but if he could digest it hewould toll them more about it when hecomes again ; that he feared Mr. Tildonwas a sham reformer, and much more oftho same sort. And telling them this,he failed to donounce the corruptions ofthe party in power, or to guarantee forHayes any better administration thanwo have had under Grant. In fact, theaudience was left iu doubt whether orno Mr. Willits knew that Hayos was theRepublican candidate. He didn't getthis side the rebellion.

CONGRESS adjourned sine die on Tues-day at 7:30 P. M., and without passingtho usual number, at the last hour, ofdoubtful appropriation and extra com-pensation bills. So much to the creditof a Demoeratio House.

A " Republican R a l l y . "Seeing a bill posted inviting us in commoi

with the masses—ladies and citizens generally—to put in an appearance at the Opera Houseon Friday evening last, and "reason together,"that is to hear Hon. Edwin Willits and" others " speak their ancient little pieces, wecomplied with the invitation and we;it down,prepared to get our fill of "truth.'' Thecrowd on the streets, the blowing ot the bauds,and the tramp, tramp, tramp of that proces-sion of " scalpers "—104 in all, including 24boys, with a few non-lamp bearers as bodyguard—was calculated to strike terror to thehearts of disconsolate Democrats, but didn'tworth a continental. After the procession ar-rived the body of the Opera House was we 11filled, with a sprinkling of boys in the gallery—rattlers and whistlers whose mission provedto be to aid in applauding the speakers. Agoodly number of gray-headed veterans, thefruits of much perseverance in drumming,personal solicitation, sending out of carriages,etc., ornamented the stage, while the audiencewas constituted* about as follows: two womento each voter, two boys and girls to each wo-man, with a number of babies in arms sand-wiched in for musical purposes,—the Glee Clubnot being in condition to '• fill the bill,—andour first impression was that we had made amistake in the place, and got into a primaryschool exhibition or a half-price children'sshow. That was the make up of the first "rally."TUB speakers were Messrs. Willits, Cutcheonand Childs, whose speeches this reporter willnot write up. Each began back in past agesand under the banner of the " bloody shirt'came down almost to the present,—and then>;topped. A few of the points made will benoticed elsewhere.

Henry W. Kogers, Esq., of this city camenear meeting with a fatal accident on Tuesdaymorning. Having a young and new horse-which ou Monday showed some fear of thecars, Mr. Bogers took in his nephew on Tues-day morning and drove down State streetwith a view of making the horse familiar withthe puffing and blowing and noise of movingtraius. Crossing the track the horse was facedabout, and not relishing the sight he saw orsounds he heard he reared and plunged andbacked throwing Wade out on one side, andMr. Rogers on the other. Wade (the nephew)was fortunate enough to strike on his feet, andturning rouud found Mr, Bogers face down-wards and his head buried in the gravel. Hewas insensible for some moments but con-sciousness was soon restore*!, a hack wascalled, and taking him home he was put underthe charge of his physician, Dr. Wells, andthough now a little sore is recovering. Hisiip was somewhat bruised. The horse wasrecovered somewhere near the depot, unin-jured and the phaeton unbroken.

Mr. Bennett, Steward of the University, islaving a good work done upon the trees in andaround the University grounds, a work whichought to be immediately imitated by everycitizen having maple or other shade trees infront of their premises or on theft grounds,especially trees that by dying and falling,imb8 give evidence of the presense and havocof the borer. His men are engaged in cuttingoff all affected limbs below the point wherethe borer has been at work. These limbs,with those which have fallen to the ground,are gathered up and burned. Mr. Howard,one of the men doing the work, says that hefinds that many limbs have been cut off inseveral places, and that the detached fragmentsare found full of the borer. By gathering andburning the breeding of next years' crop andstill larger and more general destruction of treeswill be prevented. Our fine rows of trees areworth saving and the work should be com-menced without delay.

The Michigan Democracy.

At the recent Democratic State Con-

vention the following resolutions,{repor-

ted from the appropriate committee, by

its chairman, Wm. P . Wells, Esq., were

unanimously adopted. They are r ight

to the point, and we especially com-

mend the last one to our Republican

friends who profess a holy horror of

another rebellion or of the re-establish-

ment of slavery by the Democracy :

1. The Democraoy of Michigan, inconvention assembled, affirm their abid-ing faith in the tradi t ional princi-ples of the Democratic par ty , namely :strict construction of the Federal Con-stitution, local self-government," strictaccountabili ty of public officers to thepeople, hostility to sumptuary laws andto undue protection by Federal legisla-tion of Bpecial and lpcal interests.

2. We declare tha t the supreme ob-ject of political action a t the presenttime is to br ing about such reform inpublic administration as shall removefrom office the men and the par ty whosecorruptions have dishonored the repub-lic a t home and disgraced i t in the sightof foreign nations, and restore to thepeople, under Democratic administra-tion, a just honest, economical and con-sti tutional government.

3. I n the declaration of principlesadopted by the Nat ional DemocraticConvention a t St. Louis we recognize ajust and explicit s ta tement of Demo-cratic principles' and an unanswerablepresentation of the necessity of reformin the administration of public affairs,and we hereby declare our unqualifiedassent to the same.

4. The Democracy of Michigan de-mand in our public servants, both Stateand national, honesty, capabili ty and fi-delity as guarantees of good government,and in our national standard-bearer, aswell as in the candidates for Stateofficers, nominated by this convention,we recognize men who possess pre-eminently these qualifications, and wepledge them our cordial support, to theend that in their t r iumphant electionmay be inaugurated the reform de-manded by the people and so essentialto the very existence of good govern-ment itself.

5. We declare our devotion to theFederal Constitution, with all i tsamendments, and insist t h a t it is theparamount du ty of every State govern-ment to protect in the enjoyment ofall their r ights all law abiding citi-zens of whatever nat ional i ty or color,and to bring to conviction and punish-ment all persons gui l ty of violation ofthe laws.

THE Lansing Republican declines topublish the letters of acceptance ofTilden and Hendricks, but advises allRepublicans to read them, " borrowingDemocratic newspapers." And the Re-

publican olaitns to be a newspaper. Thosame journal also slura the Democraticcandidates for Presidential electors in;his wise : " The district eleotors aremen of no particular note, but then;hey have no chance of doing any-;hing, so it is all right." If the Re-publican electoral candidates had beenof " particular note" the Republicanwould not have printed Kemps forKempf. Isn't our cotemporary hard upfor capital ?

WHAT IT TEACHES—OUR CENTENNIAL YEAR.The accomplishment of the extraordinary run

'rom New York to San Francisco in 80 hours, andalmost one-third of the entire distance over theFort Wayne & Pennsylvania Railway, was a mostitting fulfillment of the promises made by thenanagement of this great Hue, that in the Onerlundredth year of our existence as a Nation, arailway, for the completeness of its structure, theperfection of its equipment, the most exact expedi-ents for speed, all modern improvements for cora-'ort aud ingenious combinations for safety, on theface of the globe, should be the Great Ft. Wayne A?ennwylvania Road. How well, truly and faith-'ully has that promise been kept, may be judged>y the crowning triumph in the great raceaginst time of the Jarret & Palmer Special SanFrancisco Train, which ran^rom New York to Chi.:ago in less than 21 hours—a distance of 912 miles.444 miles between New York and Fittsburg, wasrun by one locomotive without a single stop—afeat entirely without precedent in the annals ofrailway history, and teaches that nothing is im-possible on the Great Ft, Wayne & PennsylvaniaEailroad, and that it has outstripped the progres-sive railway rivals, not only of America, but theOld World. Foreign newspaper correspondentsvisiting our Centennial, overlook the great Expo-sition and its world of wonders, and fill their firsthomeward-bound letters with the advanced ideasof the Pennsylvania A Ft. Wayne Railway system,and invariably and unhesitatingly pronounce itthe model railway of the world, and America's fit-ting representative of rational engineering, shrewdofficial observations, and tho early adoption ofall ideas advancing the interests and comfortsof its patrons. Pullman's New Palace Sleeping,Drawing Room and Hotel Cars, are run uponall trains, and the line being many miles thshortest from Chicago to New York, PhiladelphiaBaltimore and Washington, the advantage of lowfares are in its favor. It must be borne in mindthat the Ft. Wayne &, Pennsylvania trains rundirect to all the above cities, and into the Centen-nial Grounds. Low fare tickets may be purchasedat the General Office, 65 Clark street, Chicago, or atthe Depot, and information by mail furnished.

IN the courso of a conversation with a friond(Bays a Washington telegram to the ChicagoTribune) "Gen. Grant has reviewed the testi-mony of ex-Solicitor Wilson in detail. Fromthis same conversation it was learned that thoPresident clairop to have deferred to SecretaryBristow's opinion iu all matters relating to thowliieky-fruuds investigation and the trial of thooffenders, and that be at that time had sojjreat confidence! in Mr. Uristow's fidelity andhonesty that ho wan ready and willing to go toany extent to strengthen tlio Secretary's hands,and even to sacrifice many oflicors" who hadbeen hi« pornonal friends', tui'l in whom hohas reposed an much confidence on accountof thoir supposed honesty'and ability as inSecretary brietow himself.

THE news from Europe is that tho war inServia is substantially over. The Turks havetakon Gurgusovatz, an important position ontho southeastern frontier of Sorvia, at thojunction of the road from Paratchin with thatfrom Nisch to Widdin. This opens up to themthe valley of tho Morava, and through thatthe way'ia tolerably straight to Someudriaand Belgrade. Before the advance is made,however, thore will bo a junction of tho twoTurkish forces, which havo penetrated Serviafrom the south and west, and tho combinedarmy will number, all the forces being esti-mated, upward of 100,000 men. The deter-mination expressed at Constantinople, whenwar was declared, . was to ovorruu Sorvia,and reduce it to a province of the ompiro.This will bo done unless Austria or Russiainterferes. And after Servia, Montenegrowill bo attended to.

THE French Government has granted thepermission necessary to lay an ocean telegraphcable botween Paris and New York, and stock-subBcriptions will soon be opened A Viennadispatch states tho Servian Premier ltistics ro-jects all offers of mediation, declaring thatServia will not treat for poaco until the Turksaro under the walls of Belgrade... .Tho oxton-sive London establishment of Grant A Co., en-gravers, lithographors and publishers, has beendestroyed by fire.

TUT. energetio moasuros that wore to havmade short work of tho Cuban insurrectionhave not come to pass according to promise,and the warfare cf the insurgents contiuuoa Ube prosecuted with fearful ferocity.

The next day a Spanish detachment, numbering ICC men, were attacked amrouted by a superior insurgent force,twenty-three of tho regular troops andtheir oommaxkr being killed....

Although Disraeli is to be elevated to the peerage, ho will remain Prime Minister. Si:Stafford Northcote will become leader of tinHouse of Commons. It is the general imprcssion that the conseratives are weakenedby the change, but Disraeli is physically nnable to sustain tho labor of the leadership othe House.... A Madrid (Spain) dispatch says :"The heat at Madrid U fearful, exceeding anyrecollection since 1800. Tho city is deserted.Forty Sold laborers are dead, near SevilleTho vines in Andalusia aro scorching anfailing."

IT is reported that Disraeli will shortly resign the Premiership, and that he will probablbe succeeded by Lord Derby.

A Lightning Bolt Writing God's Nameon a Blasphemer.

Some of our contemporaries seem dis-posed to question tlio truth of our state-ment that a negro man who was killedby lightning a few daya ago in CampbellCounty had tho letters " G O D " on hisbody. Dr. Thomas E. Moorman, whosepostoffico address is Mt. Zion, Campbellcounty,', has furnished the KichmondChristian Advocate an account of thecircumstances, from which we extractthe following :

" On the evening of tho 6th inst.Perry Jones and George Brown, coloredmen, notoriously the most profane,wicked persons in the wholo community,with three other colored persons, tookrefuge, during the rain accompanied bya good deal of lightning ahd thunder, ina tobacco barn on the land of Mr. Geo.Creasey.

"From their several positions onewould have thought that two of the oth-ers were in moro, and tho third in asmuch danger as Jones and Brown were.They, as their custom was, were engagedin cursing and swearing. Suddenly thelightning descended upon them, andwhilo tho other three were comparativelyuninjured, Jones was killed and Brownwas stricken down senseless and almostlifeless for a time. He revived after afew minutos, and soon seemed to haveregained ali of his strength, but wasdumb and bereft of his mind for severalhours. Tlio lightning had setflro to hisclothing, and he was burned on his chestand left side and arm before tho lire wasextinguished. In his maniac efforts tofree himself from thoso who were re-straining him the skin was rubbed fromthe burned flesh and presented the fol-lowing characters, GOD. Very closerepresentation, to say the least of them,of the capital letters used in printing thename of Deity, while around and botweenthem the skin was unremoved, and :ip-purently not burned. Tho above ohflr-actors occupied the angles of an equilat-eral triangle, which, as you are doubt-loss aware, was in ancient days tho sym-bol of Doity. This man then appears tohave been branded with the name of hisCreator in the symbolic language, it maybo of his forefathers three theusandyears ago, and in tho printed languageof the nation to which he belongs."—Ii/uchburg News

Uutraveled Presidents.Some of our best Presidents never got

across tho ocean. Washington, when avery y<?nng man, sailed as far as Borba-does with his older brother (or rattierlmlf-brothor) Lawrence, who was in fail-ing health. The trip was undertakenfor his recovery, but was unsuccessful,and Lawrence died soon after his return.Ho beqiwathod his esfcito (Mt.

Jeffersonaiso crossed the ocean on ft mission toFranco, but Madison never left theAmerican shores. Monroe was abroadus the American Ambassador to Paris.Jackson, however, never took a sea voy-age. His successor, Van Buren, wns atraveled man, and then came Han isonand Tyler, neither of whom crossed thoAtlantic. ^Tho.same statement may beliiiidn of Folk and his successors, Gen.Taylor and Franklin Pierce.

Paris as a Seajwrt.The idea of making Paris a seaport—

in ether words, of rendering tlio Seinenavigable for sea-going vossols—is againcoming to the snrfaoo. Tlio river atParis is only between sixty and seventyfeet above the level of the ocean, aud adistance in a straight lino of 120 miles,although, followiug tho courso of thoMream, it is 210 miles.

OTTENDOUFEIl ON SCHURJ5.

The New York Staats Knitting's Reply totho rii !iir JKx-Senutor's Letter.

Mr. Onwakl Ottendorfer publishes in his pa-per the following article in rey»ly to tbo letterof ox-Soiiator Belmrz:

In a lottor published in our paper Mr.Solnuz protests against the charge that"ho had turned back ou tho pathwaywhioh he had pursued for yearn; that hispresent conrso was absolutely irreconcilablewith what ho had advoeatod and lauded only afew weeks ago, and that he was now treadingupon hU own convictions."

With this view ho lirst calls attention to afew symptoms of the diseaao which has at-tacked and undermined our ontiro body politic,and ho endeavors to show that Gov. Hayes inthe most efficient piaster with which to patchup and cover theso loathsomo soroa.

It is rather superfluous to analyze his en-deavors to dwell upon extraneous matter in sograve a question as tho approaching Presiden-tial election, to beat around the bush with thofinesse of a third-rate lawyer, and to use everymeans iu ordor to ovado a thorough probing oftho subject. But as 3tr. Schurz, in his pros-cut work, scorns to havo completely forgottenhis acoustomed thoroughness of argument,catching at straws in tho absence of bettersupports, it may be worth whilo to look at thereasons which he alleges havo lod him to hisconclusion.

Ho considers himself bound to support Ooy.Hayes, first, bonui.sc the Kepublican party is"soundor" on tho financial question than theDemocratic party, because the latter, insteadof romoving the suspicion that resta upon it inconsequence of this fact, by adopting a per-fectly unassailable hard-money platform, andby nominating for the Presidency and VicoPresidency candidates whose principles concorning the hard-money question arounimpeachod, has recommended in itsplatform the ropoal of tho act of1>S75, promising resumption, and haa conflrmdothe compromise thereby made with the inllatiou-i»te by the nomination for tho Vico Presidencyof a politician who has no views of his own onthe financial question ; becanso, in cane of thnDemocratic candidato being elected, the "Huft-money11 Democrats would probably control thomajority in tho Houso of Representatives, andbecttuso, in cane of an uufortunato accidont, thoinfluence of tho Executive might also redoundto tho benefit of the "soft-money poople."He admits : It i« true that tho Republican plat-form is not entirely satisfactory as to tho finan-cial question, but between two ovila we mustchoose tho lesser—that is the Republican party,which has nominated two candidates equallyreliable on thin question, and which renders acorresponding majority in Congress at leaHtprobable. Iu a subsequent passago of his let-ter Mr. Schurz intimates that ovon Mr. Tildon,in Lin annual message, had shown an intima-tion to strike a bargain with the Western infla-tionists in tho National Convention, for thopurpose of accomplishing his poraonal objects.

It in by no means our intention to deny theassortiou that a largo f jortion of the inflationistsare among tho mombers of the Democraticparty. We have repeatedly dwelt upon thisfact; but at the same time wo havo shown thatprofessional American politicians, whetherDemocrats or Republicans, have no principleswhatover on tho financial question, but are in-fluenced in thfiir attitudo by their prospects ofpolitical success. With the dexterity of acircus-ridor they jump from the hard-moneyhorse to the soft-money nag, just as the publicopinion of their districts seems to demand ;aud Mr. Schurz, who, during his activity in theTJbited states Sonato, has himself witnessedthe break-neck shifts of the prominent leadersof the Republican party, who to this very dayoccupy the commanding post in that camp,evinces a great deal of modesty and self-denialif he naively protends to believe now that thoRepublican party, as such, deserves cred j t in thofinancial question. Wo, too, consider tho in-sertion of that paragraph in the St. Lotus plat-form which demands tho repeal of tho promisoof resumption of npecio payments on Jan. 1,1879, a groat folly, not because we regard thatsection of tho Resumption act as boing of anypractical value. Wo havo regarded it from thobeginning as a piece of hypocrisy, designedto throw dust in the eyes of the people ;and Mr. Schnrz himself declared in the de-bate on that bill in the Senate that the fixing ofa time for resumption would be of value onlyinasmuch as thoso who voted for the bill wouldbe bound in honor to propose and supportmeasures rendering possible the fulfillment ofthe promise. During these remaining twomonths of the session of Congress, in whichthe Republicans had a majority in both Houses,not the slightest effort was mado to redeemthis solemn pledge; nor has the present ses-sion of Congress, in which the Republicanscontrol the Senate at least, witnessed any at-tempt to make up for lost time. Moro thanthis, tho Republican National Convention,meeting at Cincinnati, has rejected by a largomajority a motion to declare it tho duty ofCongress to adopt moasures by which thesehollow and hypocritical promises in the Re-sumption act might be realized. Tin rejectionof this motion indicated an equally groat, ifnot greater, doeiro to moet the inflationistsmoro than half way; greater, indoed", than thodemand iu the St. Louis platform for tho re-peal of the date of tho resumption of speciepaymonts, which Mr. Sehurz, in his anxioussearch for reasons upon which to baso his vin-dication, has confoundod, unintentionally, wohope, with tho domand for tho repeal of theentire Resumption act. Neverthelees wo con-eider the said paragraph iu tho St. Louis plat-forni a folly, hecauso it is of no practical valuo,while some independent friends of roform re-gard it as a goldern>ridgo to cross over into theRepublican camp.

Wo will state, however, at this place, thatMr. Schurz committed a grave breach of truth,which, wo grieve to say, wo cannot regard asunintentional, in his assertion that the St.Louis Oonventionproposed the repeal of thopromise of reoumption in the Sherman act, asthe only specified measure for the resumptionof specie payment. The value wbich attachesto tho St. Louis platform as a hard-money plat-form is rathor derived from its declarationsconcerning the necessity of securing a surplusby moans of retrenchment in tho expendituresooncorning tho foundation of redemptionfunds, and concerning rovoruio roform, as wollas from its frank recognition of the Govern-ment ourreucy as a redeeui»blo debt—which idcloarly tho very revorso of tho* inflationists,views of tlio character of the currency. Byignoriug this, and especially by passing overiu silence tho fact that the Democratic partyhaa coaie out squarely for a mero revenuo tar-iff, while tho Republicans havo identifiedthomsolvos moro than over with the protectivepolicj, Mr. Schurz believes ho can covorup ouo of the sorest ppotn of his latest partyaffiliation. But wo return to his argunionts.

Wo havo frankly Hnd openly criticised thenomination of Mr. Hendriclis as not bein^ inharmony with the other labors of the St. Louisconvention, bocauso, like thomajority of Amer-ican politicians, ho lms no fixod principles ontho financial question. But it is a greater ex-aggeration, to use tho mildest term, to desig-nate him a politicnlbugbojir in order tofri';btonindopendont cltiz*onH. and to drive thorn head-long into the Republican fol 1. IIi« allegedopinion on tho financial question coincides ox-aotly with tho speech nuulo by Gov. Hayes afcMiirio'i, ()., iu July, 1H75. Ho iu opposed tocontraction, and believes that the country might"grow into tho full-blown garb of irredeema-ble paper enrroucy." This view, ridiculous asit is, was shared as late as the beginning of lastyear by niuo-tenths of t'io Western politicians,whatever party they might belong to. Butwhatover may bo said or thought of the nomi-nation of Mr. Ilendricks ; it is by no means so" ucparalloled" as tho yoking together ofGroeley and Gratz Wrown in 1872, at which oc-casion Mr. Schurz acted aa spoisor withouteven making a wry f ac».

Aud now a» regards the allogod attempts ofGov. Tilden to reconcile the Weutoru iutldtion-

by hia annual message. Tlio 'whole objec-tion that may be raised against t'io argumentssot forth in that document may bo slimmed npiu two points, viz.: That they do not suf-ficiently emphasize the pernicious effectswhich an irredeemable paper ciu'rouoy pro-duoes upon public morality, and tiiat tho niiiinstrewn is laid upon economical reasons, uponquestions of utility aud expediency. Xtwt/KMnot to our tauto, and itimay not have been tothe liking of Mr. Schurz. But it was the readi-est weapon with which to re ion our people,who aro inaccessible to the moral aspect of anypublic question, and tho result has shown thatGov. Tildon's sagacity has roadily detected thoweak side of the American character.

But thoro is ono circumfitance which Mr.Kclmrz seems to havo overlooked entirely, andin tho presoLco of which tho terriNo pictureforeshadowed by him in case of Gov. Tildou'sdeath dwindles into child's play. It is tho factthat the Democratic party of tho State of NewYork has, during tho last two years, iu relationto the financial, quostion aud under tho leader-ehip and control of Gov. Tilden, amramod aposition which even Mr. Schurz, with all hisingenuity, will not be ablo to attack. Thattool; I'laco at a tinio wi.en public opinion hadby no means decided in favor of haul money—at a time whon tho waves of the inflation maniasui'god high and menaced to overflow thowholo country. It required a lidolity to con-viction seldom to be found iu Americau politicsto throw tho gauntlet to the Domocrabj ofOhio, aud iiarily of Indiana aud other WesternStates, who, iu'.oxicatcd by the inflation swin-dle, seemed to carry everything boforo themiBSt fall ; to stem tho tide of inflation insanity,aud loatwmt in the defeat of tho Democratsof Ohio, as was done in the platformof tho New York Democrats in tlio an-

of 1875. No one will doi'iro to bclitllothe services tendered by Mr. Schurz during thohi'it campaign in Oiiio: but it is universallyconceded, and tho Ohio Democrats were loudestand bitterest in their complaints, that tlio posi-tion of (iov. Tilden, of Now York, v.ith l-oganlto tho financial question then contributed morethan anything eluo to tlioir dofest. It is QWiBgto his endeavors that tho poople can calmlyiiwait the result of tho Presidential election, asfar as tho financial question is concornod ; andit IB hirt Vrork that Die dangers of Hie inflationiwindlemaybboonsidered as avertod for the

prcsont and for the immodiato future. We donot moan to laud Sir. Tildon as u iseoond Cas-iiiH rushing into the abyss to save his country ;

!'iii il was his deep insight, acquired by a care-

ful study of tho financial question, wlx'.ch con-vinced him that the inflation swindle would boof nhort duration ; that, aided by the expo-rienco of economical and business life, thosound, practical eenee of the people would soonreawaken; aud it was this conviction that in-spired him with a courago and pornevorancowhich, at first sight, may appear inexpllcablo inan Amoriean statesman of our day ; and it isalfo this conviction, arrived at by a thoroughmastery of tho financial question, which wouldenable him, if elected, to treat and sol vo thisdifficult and complicated problem in a mannerwhich Mr. Schurz himself could not think Mr.i lax OH capable of doing, notwithstanding hisprojudico in favor of that gentleman. * *

As wo havo stated before, wedo not regardGov. Tilden as an ideal candidate nor do woapprovo of all tho moasur«» that ho has takon.lie has hia own way of accomp lishiug his ob-joct. But whilo wb do not hositato, and evendeem it our duty, to express our disapprobationof any stops takon by him which may Beem tous unjust or improper, we aro bound to admitthat he novor wavered in his course, and pur-sued his object with n rare determination. Astatesman must «oraetimes niako concessionsin subordinate questions, in order to strengthenhimself for the main tank with tho solution ofwliich ho i« charged.

As to civil-soi'Vlce reform, tho special hobbyof Mr. Sehurz, to which ho seems inclined toeaorifioo every other consideration, even fair-ness and justice, we fuljy recognize its valuoand high importance. We admit that thus farit haa liad moro Republican than Democraticadvocates ; but wo must call attention to thefact that they were like voices in tho desert,that die away unheard and unnoticed. Wobelieve that o;:r political parties, intheir present organization, Republi-cans as well m Democrats, will reeistoivil-Borvice roform to tho utmost. It throat-ens their very life, and to support it. would beto sign their own death-warrant. A long andporftovoring struggle will be needed to makeroom for this roform. It betrays areally child-like naivete to find iu tho eivil-Korvico pro-grammo presented by Gov. Hayes iu his letterof acceptance an earnest of tho moral couragerequisite for its execution. Tho same sort ofmoral courage was evinced by Gen. Grant andtho Ropublican party in 1872. The former ex-pressed the same views in his message and tholatter in its platform, auu yot the wiliestamong the Ropublicau loaders wore not in tboleast disturbed by them. Gov. Hayes, as iswoll known, owes his nomination to a compro-mise between Oonkling, Morton, and Hartranf t.Immediately.after tho nomination he haiitonedto reconcile the defeated followers ef Blaiuoby an exuberant telegraphic dispatch tp thef tier, and if anything can increase tho gleewith which Mr. Hayes' letter of accuptanco lias(i)l(il theso Republican leaders aud their ad-herents, it must bo tho oxtremo naivetowith which some of tho independentfriend* of roform, whoso integrity ex-cludes tho suspicion of hypocrisy, tooktheir assurauces of Mr. Hayes as a guarantyof the execution. Wo aro willing to admit thatMr. Hayes is as earnest aud sincere in hispromises as Grant was on a former occasion.To rogard President Grant as the only obstaclein the way of the success of well-meaning Re-publicans in tho reform endeavors of theirparty, would bo a great ovor-ostimation of theluun. Ho was the mere tool and not the gn atmiwtcr mind of tho corruption wliich uuaer-niines our public life. His retirement willloavo the main elementsthat control the Repub-lican party entirely unchanged. If Mr. Hayeswere eloeUd, ho would, no doubt, benefit bytho sad experience of hia predecessor, and nottolerate individuals like 15alcock, Bods Sbop-herd, and others of that stripe about his per-son. But to exorcise a roformiug control overthe entire party requires au ability, energy, andtenacity of purpose, no traco of which can bedetected in tho past public life of Mr. Hayes.Wo do not know whether Gov. Tilden, if elect-ed, would succeed in eliminating the bad elo-monts of tho Democratic party, but the cour-age and skill which ho has displayed in crush-ing the strongest and most dangerous ringsjustify the expectation that he would be moresuccessful in this work than his rival.

But on tho whole we may say that the at-tempt to base the resnlt of tho approachingPresidential election upon some detached par-agraphs of the party platform, upon insinua-tions against the ono ind presuppositions re-garding tho character of tho other candidate,or upon some phrases In their letters of accept-ance, is puerile and unworthy of a man likeSchurz. It reminds us of a young man whofor years had boon engaged to a girl, studyingcarefully her character, her virtues and weak-ness, aud then suddenly slandoring heron thovery day fixed for the nuptials, becauso—hedid not like her nose!

nonnced tho bill got up by the ring giving theJudgos extraordinary powors as to contemptsby the press in certain oases, and in tho sum-mer of that year opened the contest wliich ro-sultod in thodofoat of the ring at the Novem-ber election. I was prcsont iu tho State Con-vention. The friends of the ring objected tomo as Chairman of the convention on theground of my sympathy with Mr. Tildon in hismovements. I heard him declare on tho floorof tho convention that ho Would not supportthe Tammany nominee.'! for tho Sonate andAssemlrfy. and if his rofwal to do no weredeemed a breach of party duty he would resigntie Chairman of the State Committee, aud goamong his plundered people and help them towork out their deliverance. It is, therefore,not only amusing, bnt ridiculous, to read in thoRepublican papers that Mr. Tilden did notfight Tweed early enough and often, consider-ing that iu all the oarlior part of the conteststhoy wore on the side of Tweed."

TILDEN AXI) TAMMANY.A Common Charge Again»t the St. Louis

Nominee Kefuted by an UnquestionableAuthority.A reporter of tho New York //CTY*M has inter-

viewed ex-Lieut. Gov. Allen C. Beach relativeto the charge that Gov. Tildeu connived withTweed and Tammany in the frauds perpetratedduring the supremacy of the latter in NewYork politics.

"Charges havo been mado by certain Rc-. licans," said tho reporter, "that Gov. Tilden is| a sham reformer, that he was formerly in fel-j lowship with Tweed during his ascendancy.

Have you any personal knowledge on thososubjects ?"

" I certainly have," replied Mr. Beach." From the i oar 1867, when Tweed was risinginto power, I havo as much knowledge on thesematters as any other man in tho Stato. Tweedfirst took his seat in tho Senato in January,18G8. In March of tho aamo year I began toassist Mr. Tildeu to organize the Democraticparty of the State, and continued co work withhim for the next six years. He was Chairmanof the State Comm tteo, and most of the time Iwan Chairman of the Executive Committee. Itwas well known that Mr. Tilden accepted thoChairmanship of tho Stato Committee in 1866for tho purpose of keeping out of the controlof the State organization tho men who after-ward grow to bo called tho ' ripg.' From 1868Mr. Tildeu was always in a stato of antagonismto Tweed, growing out of the distrust lie felteven when there was no proof against t!ioTammany boas and bofore tho depredations be-gan upon.the treasury of the city of New York.Tweed had shortly Before obtainoS inftnonceover tho patronage of tlio stroot departmentas Deputy Street Commissioner, under an ar-rangement mado with Mayor Opdyke, a Repub-lican, by whom the Commissioner was ap-pointed, who then selected Tweod for Deputy.

" In tho fall of 1868 a contest took place inthe State Convention. My name was presentedas a candidate for the officio of LieutenantGovernor. The Taming.y delegation, oxeopttwo, opposed mo, with aii tbo power theycould influence Mr. Tilden mado a square in-suo witn them and succoert.->d. in the winterof 1801) Tammany organized a movement todepose Mr. Tilden from tho chairmanship oftho State Committee. He accoptcd the issue.The State Convontiou outside of tho city was HOunanimoui^for Mr. Tilden that the Tammanydelegation withdrew from tho contest. In thesame \car ho oponly doiiounccd the abuses andwrongs committed by thoJuflgCH nndor thoTammany influence. • He said to mo, that it wasnot safe for a man to livo iu New 7ork, andstill more unsafe to (lie thero. In tho legisla-tive sos-sion of 1870, while I was LieutinmtGovernor, a controversy iu rospect to the citycharter took plaoo. After mauy struggle* theTweed dynasty got np a charter which virtual-ly put the whole power Of the city governmentfor yoiins in their pofwonsiou without Rny re-sponsibility to popular elections, and ropoalingtho power of tho Governor to removo thoMayor and ovorybndy's power to hold tho pub-lic 'officials to account. Twcrel, finding him-self unable to carry tho moasnro by Democraticvotes, had arranged to obtain, and did obtain,almost tbo ontire Republican voto of bothHouses of tko Legislature.

"Mr. Tildeu came up to Albany while thobill Wiiii pending and made a speed: before thocommitcoo of the Seuato. of which Tweed waschairman, exposing and denouncing tho bill.Soon nftor the passage of tlio bill, Tweed, whowan a member of the Sonata of which I was

ing officer, said that thoy would remoteTilrteri from the chairmanship oT the StateCommittee. I answered that they could not doit—the country was too strong for thorn. Hosaid they could doit. I told him ho had bettortry and seo how ho would come out. Iu th!scontest tho wholo Republican party wont infavor of Tweed and against Mr. Tilden. Theywore supported by tho citizen's association.Tho result was claim' d ns a victory from preju-diced quarters, although it was admitted thatdivision of offices and bribery had been nm-

ycd. It WHS said tho day beforo Mr. Tildeninado hit; spucou (Oov. Beach hero quoted froma slip in hU hand) that ' thoro was somethingto bo bought and i.Ienty of money to buy it.'It was al-H> said, 'liy habit aud education theStrong men of tho ring worked habitually inthat \vi:y. They are sagacious, energetic, andmanifestly belevo thoy aro justified in theadoption of extraordinary moaus to gain theend of a protracted term of power.'

' This extract is from an editorial in one oftho city papers fiftou mouths afterward: Therewore a few indignant protests against thoHchemo uUerod t>y mieh high-toned Democratsas Samuel J. Tilden and others of his charac-ter. But Ihey were without effect, V.H Tweedand Sweeny Lad tho vote already bought up.Of all tho Republican Senators, SenatorTiuycr alonft is on record XH voting agWhstit. And yet a week after the passagoof the new charter this aanio paper hailedTweod HH a reformer, and said (again referringto a slip): 'Tha passago of the new charterand of tho election law—tho latter by far tliomost substantial reform of tho two—could nothave boeu achieved without tlio help of thoRepublicans in tho Legislature, and henpo thecrodit. is as much thoirs as it is of tho TweedDemocracy.' It waa afterward revealed that atthis very time the frauds of Tweed & Co. weirgoing on. and within a month happened thedivision of #6,0OO,OOD, which is tho foundationof tho actions brought by O'Couor and i> its as-sociates.

COMHTIOJi AM) AIMS OF THESOUTH.

Abstract of the Speech of Mr. U r a a r , De-livered in the HOUM> of KepreientaUvciAug. a.Mr. Lamnr commenced by saying that it

•oilld not bo truthfully asscrtod that praoticoand the peculiar system of measures adoptedby tho presont administration commanded theapprobation of tho majority of the people, butthat, on tho contrary, tho sentiment in whichthe American people regarded the conduct ofthe national affairs was ono of vory decideddissatisfaction and dospondency, accompaniedwith a strong dosiro for a change. Thore wa»it deep and anxious protest against the methodsof tho administration, tlifl tone and characterof tho public service, and the principles of leg-islation that had marked tho action of the Gov-ernment for many years past, and yet it Wasremarkablo that this popular fooling' had produoed no change in thn administration. Sucha development of public sontiment ia Englandwonld have produced a change in tho adniiuii--trativo agoncios of the Governmout withintwenty-four hours. Ho did not believe thattho apprehension growing out of the unitedsupport by tho Southern peopio of theDemocratic paity was well founded, or thatit should stand in the way of tho aspirationsof a great ptoplo for progress and reform. Theidoa that tl'O South, under any combination ofparties or circumstances, would over again ohtaiu control of this great republic and wield itsdestinies against tho will and instinct of thismighty peopio, was of all ideas the most vision-ary and basrfcM. Tho people of tho houthwore prostrated. They had been defeated inwar, and mado to feel that sacrifice and humil-iation and tho helplessness'of defeat had beenallotted to them as thoir Hlmro, whilo the Northhail reaped the»rich results of a victorious war,and had embodied and guaranteed thom in theTery life and constitution of the nation. The.institutions of tho South had boon shatteredand destroyed. Her IttQuMndS had been disor-ganized, every foot of iior fertile soil steril-ized by an all-devouring taxation ; Jior educa-tional interests waning and languishing, andher population was so foeble in comparisonwith that of tho groat Union, that with thoSouth united, "black and white," it would beimpotent to rfecuro a single Southern man or todefend a singlo Southern interest. Itwai, therefore, absurd for a ' groatppoplo to apprehend that tho pcopie of tho South arrogated to them-selves the ruling of the interests of this greatnation. Thore was no aspiration which theyhad that was not bounded by the horizon oftho Union. If they wero united with thoDemocratic party it was not for the purpose ofsecession and aggrandizement. It was not forthe purpose of reversing tho policy of the Goveminent, but it was because they observed aninstinctive and imperative law of eelf-preserva-tion. Tie quoted from the reports of theLouisiana investigating committees and fromtlio President's annual message, in which heacknowledge 1 that tho peopio of tho South hadhad vilo and oppressive Governments to liveunder, and he asked how it could bo expectedto llnd quiet, ordorly, law-abiding communitieswhoso Governors were lawless felons, whoseministers wure thieves and whoso magistrate!wore scoundrels. This raco problem was notincapable of solution. Two statesmen sue!: a.Lord Dorby and Earl Russell would sottlo it iithree days. Tho people of the South wouldbo certain to withdraw from participation in thfiPresidential election if tUoy could do so. andlot the poople of the Nerth oloct a President,but they could not impose on themselves a•tolid inactivity. All that, they wanted in unit-ing with the Democratic party was not to ruloCabiaetfl, not to dictate policy, not to contro1

tho interest of the country, but they wanted arepresentative share of the responsibilities andbenefits of a common Government according tothe raeaanre of their population and raco. Theywcro now c>operating with the Democraticparty under a diro and inexorable necessity, andiu hope of getting an administration that woullnot bo unfriendly to them, and that would notfeel itself commissioned to execute resontmentand oppression upon them. Thoy worked to gotan administration which, in place of the forcesof conquest, subjugation, and domination,would give amnesty and restoration to theprivileges' of American citizonship —an admin-istration which would allow their States thesame equal rights as other States ; which wouldallow them equality of consideration, equalityof authority, jurisdiction over their own af-fairs, exemption from domination of electionsby bayonets : that would give local self-gov-ernment, and then the country wonld at lastsee the dawn of prosperity in all tho industrialenterprises of the North, and a real, grand re-construction of tho South. It would soo herspring from her confusion and distress rejoic-ing in her nowly-acquired liberty, free, greatprosporoai, her sons and hor daughters cfevory race happy iu her smile and greeting thisrepublic in the words of the inspired poet"Thy gentleness has mado theo groat."[Loud applause]

The KngUsh Way of Dealing; with Swin-dleru— Four Prominent Hankers Sen-tenced to Prirton.

I-'nmi M. D. Conway's London Tetter to tbc Cin-cinnati Commrrcial.)

It is to be hoped that, amid tho excito-mouts of a swelling canvass, Americanswill not fail to observe tho picturesquefact this country offers to their observa-.ion, of four of the most prominont menof London locked np in prison. Thowealthy aud distinguished gentlemen inquestion foistod a fraudulent companyon tlie public, aud having no starry ban-ner under -which to shelter themselves,are taking the prosaic consequences.They conspired by a false quotation,based on repeated deposits of the samesum of money in a bank, summed up toseem like capital, to get the shares ofthe Mupion Gas Company on the Stock£!xohange, BO fraudulently evading therules laid down for tho protection oftho public, and they have lost the stakeand reputation with It. The Judges hes-itated. A good many peopio could notbelieve that mich hitrhly-respccfoble andwell-connected gentiemon could bo in-carcerated like vulgar felons, and antici-pated the infliction of fines. When thedistinguished npeculators wero broughtup for sentence they wore inclined to bepathetic. Mr. Joseph Aspinall, whohas for some time paraded hia stylo, hiscarriages and horses, in the vicinity ofhis country mansion, turned out to be avery wretched and poor person, whomthe white-eyed boys lately gazing on bissplendwr could not envy. Mr. Aspinallpleaded that he was 54 years ot age,with a wife and twelve children, hadcarried on business irreproachablyfor thirty-nino years, was now rumod,and his aged paaents, whom he had hith-erto supported, would have to go to theworkhouse, while ho himself had latelybeen living on the charity of Ids friends.He brought medical certificates to showthat ho is suffering from two dangerousdiseases. Ho denied fraudulent iuten-tcntion, and submitted hhnsolf to themercy of the court. Mr. Whyte de-tailed that he had lost a valuable posi-tion as manager of a coal mine, whiclhe had held for twenty years, and didnot mean to advance his personal interests by the fraud. Mr. Knocker saidho was not awaro of the fraud, had suf-fered frightfully, had lost his income of£1,400 a year—as general manager ofthe Midland Bank- and his wifo and fivechildren were now destitute. Dr. Muiralso professed to have been ignorant ofwhat was going on, and ho, too, wasmined. The counsel for these miserablemen urged in mitigation of judgmentthat what they had done had been donebefore on the Stock ExchangO with im-punity ; but the suggestion was not ahappy one, the Lord Chief Justice dryijremarking that " it was quite true," andadding a hint that it was fully time thatit should bo made certain that it couldnot safely be tried again. Mr. JusticeBlackburn, the senior puisne Judge,then pronounced tho sentence. He be-gan by saying that tho indictable con-spiracy proved acrainst them before ajury was punishable by imprisonmentand fine, or by either alone, at the discretion of the Court ; but that they hadcome to the conclusion that a fine wouldnot be proper in this case, because suchoperations were generally carried on forlargo sums of money by men whom ordi-nary fines would not deter ; that sincethey had all declared themselves desti-tute, to fine there, with imprisonmentuntil the fines wore paid, might involvean immenso extension of their imprison-ment. They would, therefore, imprisonthem without hard labor. "When iperson," said the Judge, "whether h<be rich or poor, commits a crime, wemust punish him, notwithstanding themisery it may infliot upon his family atthe time, and the disgrace it may entailon thom afterward. Aspinall undKnocker were then sentenced each totwolvo months' imprisonment ; Muirand "Whyte each to two months. Thelawyers for the criminals begged for 8suspension of the order until they couldappeal. Tho application was refused.The tipstaff removed the eminent bankere, and they are now in Hallowayprison, with amplo leisure to fake theirfirst lesson iu plain living and highthinking. These senteuces will have thebest consequences. Every honest manin England feels safer to-day, and everywealthy rogue feels moro insecure. Itis a good deal to know that prison wallare not reserved for poor ragamuffinswho steal pennies, but may also becomefamiliar to well-dressed personages whobring ruin on thousands of families anddash about with fine equipages. Thonumber o£ such has been getting unpleasantly large of late.

" Josh " ancl " Gil " Ward are tram-ing on tho Hudson for the pair-oarocrace at Philadelphia in September,They walk eight and pull twelve miles aday, and eat beef, mutton, aud eggs." Josh" speaks contemptuously of tileEnglish stroke as one which he has re-peatedly beaten, aud ridicules tho ideathat Capt. Cook has imported the genu-ine English method. The Yalo stroke,he says, has been borrowed from th<bargemen on the Thames.
