Mr. Wallace Leigh and R. C. Gledhill left last evening for the cky Mountains, whither they go on a pleasure trip during the heated term. Arrangements have been made with Messrs.

An encounter took place this morning on Fitth street, in trontot the Post-DISPaTcH, Letween two boot-blacks. The fight wasa short and lively one. The combatants went at it vt first with their fists, but as the smaller one was getting worsted, he grabbed his box and went for the other as David did for Goliath. He tried to slung-shot the big boy with his box,and kept his parallelopipedon whirling round and round like a wind-mill in its lap. He packed the big boy up against a post, gotin several warm biows on his guard arm,and then the big tellow, secing there_wis no other way out of it, took to flight, and the way they went fiying down the street looked for all the worid as if Mollie McCarthy were chasing Parole with a board bill. A la crowd looked on with interest at the fight, and watched the racers —_ they disappeared through a Pine street alley. That Reported Railroad Consolidation. The report that the Wabash ana the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Railroads are consolidated under the name of Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific, is not confirmed. No official information of anything ot the kind has been received by the officers of either road at this point. Mr. Bradley,ot the Wabash, pronounces it ‘‘a Wall street storv.’’ Mr. John F. Howe, vice-president of the St. Louis, Kansas City ana Northern, sayshe bas no information on the subject, except what he has seen in the papers. If the consolidation has really taken place, it has not as yet affected anything here. — Early Closers. St. Louls, July 8.

A Remarkable Amount of Official Ignor- ance on the Subject. -— - The Result of the Late Enumeration Ob- tained after Much Difficulty. The Estimate the Lowest I-ver Yet Made. In accordance with the resolutions of the Scnool Board, on Friday, May 23, the Police received instructions from the Board of Po- lice Commissioners to begin on the following Monday, May 26, to takea correct census of the number of persons between the ages ot six and twenty years residing within the city limits. In the meantime the patrol- men were furnished with the necessary books, and on Monday morning began the task. Seemingly the men labored with a good will, as some of the most thickly populated dis- tricts returned the books tothe School Board the following Friday. Since then nothing fur- ther has been heard of the results of the effort, more than that the matter had been referred to n committee consisting of Messrs. Mockler, Hol- liday, Hummel, Oupples, O'Connell, Knight and Dr. Jennings, the latter named acting as chairman. VISIT TO A SCHOOL DIRECTOR. To ascertain if any definite steps had bsen taken in the mutver,areporter last night-called upon Mr. Mockler, of the Nineteenth Ward, one ofthe most active members of tii¢-eQm- mittee. In response toa question as to what the census cammittee had done, Mr. Mockler said :‘‘We have not doneanything yet.We have only had one meeting, and then we did not get a quorum together until a late hour, and had so much routine business to go through that we did not do much in connection witn the census.’’ *‘*When did you reccive the books?’’ ‘*We received them last night.’’ ‘*‘Where have they been since the police turned them over?’’ ‘*The secretary has had them making a re- capitulation.’’ ‘*‘What was the numberof persons between the ages of six and twenty years as shown by the book?’’ ‘*That we do not intend to make public for a while yet.’’ Mr. Holliday, also a member of this commit- tee, happened by atthe time and was asked the question, while Mr. Mockler was convers- ing with another gentleman, but it met with the same response and Mr. Holliday hurried away. ‘*‘What Jothe members of the committee think about the returns?’’ ‘*‘Well, they think the enrollment is not as full as it ought to be.’’ ‘*How do thcy compare with the census as taken by Mr. Williams.’’ ‘*It is nearly the same.’’ ‘*Above or below it?’’ ‘*I do not wish to say which, but it rnnsclose to it.’’ ‘*Do you think that the police did not do their duty in this matter?’’ ‘*There is no disposition to blame the police or anybody else.’’ **What does the committee propose to do?’’ ‘*To examine the books.’’ ‘*How will they do this?’’ ‘*‘We do not know what plan we will adopt yet. It mav be by comparison, but we have not decided on anything yet.’’ It was evident that no information could be gleaned from the members of the School Board on this topic, and the reporter here took his leave, with a view of trying other sources ot information. ANOTHER WAY TO FIND OUT. This morning the reporter visited each of the district police stations to ascertain the returns. Ail the captains, with one exeeption, willingly imparted the desired information. The totals ot the enroiiments in the different districts are as follows: First District—South of Osceola street to River Des Peres and from the{Mississippi to’citypimits west, 3,402. Second District—Chouteau avenue to Osceola street, and from the river to Jefferson avenue, 2,000. Third District—Wasbhington avenne to Cass avenue, and Grand avenue to the river, 21,- 9 82. Fourth District—Cass avenue to Grand ave- nue on the north, and the river to Grand ave- nue on the west, nearly 15,800. Fifth District (mounted district)—Grand ave- nue west to city limits, and Osceola street to limits, north, 14,855. Central District—Washington to Chouteau avenue, and from levee to Jefferson avenue, ,029. Total, 89,068. The census taken under Anslem Albert in '77 showed 107,225 persons between the ages ot five and twenty-one years, and under Mr. Wil- lrams, in’78, when the ages were six and twenty-one, it xmounted to but 97,556. ee THE MISSOURI BANKERS. Second Day of the Convention at Sweet Springs — Permanent Organization— Committees Appointed. ; Special to the Post-Dispatch. SWEET SPRINGS, Mo. July 9.—A large number of delegates arrived last night, and this morning the convention met at 10 o’ciock and organized permanently by electing J. L.

Up to this time Tuesday was hottest day of the season, the mercury climb- ing up to 96 degrees. The eleven years neat theory haa al- ready been developed in the PoOSsT-DISPATCH, and statistics browght forward to show the points of the hypothesis; many other signs of a protracted heated term were also noted, and all the evidences of aa in- tensely uncomfortable summer are on the point ot fulfillment. The heat a large measure upon the direetion of the wind, and the wind itself depends upon the areas of high and low barometer. The currents of air flow from the high to the and just now the high barom atits highest along the flat, marshy & the South Carolina coast, where the heat al most materializes itself and shakes inlong wavy lines over the hotiagoons. The low ba- rometer is just now situated above Minnesota, and acts asa center, to which all the winds blow, and until the relations of high and low pressure are reversed the heated term will continue. The speedy chances for eoob winds from the north are not ail that could be wished. A considerable time will ela be- fore an srea of high barometer, taking the pluce of the low one in the Northwest, will pour the cool breezes of the northern bounda- - 1y down the Mississippi Valiey.

De At the Dispensery.~~__ At the Dispensary every preparatio? been made forthe busy day anticipated. The corridor, in front of the drug-store, through which a cool breeze is blowing at all times, is lined with wire-mattressed cots, an air pillow, and two or three rubber ice caps oneach one. By the door stand two tubs of ice and water—and stretchers and other necessaries forthe care of the sick are lying where they can be easily taken up. Two extra ambulances have been addea for the dayj to the regular force of four, and one of these is stationed at the Third District Station, another at the Soulard strect, and telegraphic commdu- nieation is maintained with ali parts of the city. Dr. Carson explained the process of treating the unfortunate victims of the solar wave. The idea being to coo) the patient off as thoroug ¥ and as quickly as possible, ice caps are put their heads, pounded ice between their arnt and sides, and ice water is dashed over their bodies. As soonas they are sufilciently re- covered for transportation they are taken to the new ward, which bas just been}finished, and cared for there in the most scientific manner known to the protession. This new ward is in a detached building, with ali the conveniences specially adapted to sun- stroke cases. Up to twelve o'clock to-day there had beer no case broughtin.

Our columns are open to any Republican - of brains and sense who does not agree with the Globe-Democrat and its third term crusade. IF anybody wants to know Carl Schurz’s ‘position on the important issues of the fay, let him read the interview with Dr. Preetorius. New YORK can not claim a monopoly of brutal policemen. If a few of the St. Louis policemen were clubbed with their own clubs it would be no great outrage on THE Post-DisPpaTcu is to-day a Republi- canorgan. We present the sentiments of the two most influential Republicans in the State—John B.Henderson and Dr. Emil Preetorius, who are constantly misrepre- sented in the Globe-Democrat. Tne delay in publishing the school cen- sus is due to the unwillingness of the School Board to allow an incomplete census to goforth. Theg ork of the police in tak- ing the cepsgM is fintshed, but the board es to find out how many children fzht to be before adding up the re- turns. Dr. PREETORIUS speaks as well as he writes, speaks well enough fortwo. He de- clared frankly, freely, unhesitatingly and . plicly that neither he nor Mr. Schurz , under any circumstance y . support Pneral Grant for a thi verm. There are Pst two hundred thousand independent Germans in the country who think precise- ly the same. Tue Kansas City Journal, in speaking about the death of General Bingham, says that “‘among the last messages he left with his physician was one to the press, saying ‘the would reply to the last letter of B. Gratz Brown as soon as his health would permit. But that never was to be. The last order which comes to all was issued, and he has answered it.’’ Our esteemed contemporary, the Pepub- ican, this morning graciously alludes to a report of an interview with a Catholic priest which appeared yesterday ‘in an As there could not have been much uncertainty as to the name of the evening paper, perhaps it would have been as well for our esteemed contempora- to mention the-name. As an investigator of Radical rascality ongressman Glover must be accounted a wenuine success. He. submits eight solid nonpareil columns of robbery and corrup- tion in the Treasury Department, supple- mented with the assurance that this is only an introduction to the history of Republican thievery in Washington. But if this is only the introduction, what is the story itself? As the respectable Republicans of this city can find xothing’in the Globe-Democrat crowd, we publish elsewhere the speech of ex-Senator John B. Henderson, the ac- knowledged leader of the Republican party in Missouri. Though intended for Repub- licans; the speech will be also interesting to Democrats, and deserves to be generally read. Tue Mississippi River is not of much rticular value to anybody just now, as the East-bound railroads are soliciting the wivilege of carrying freight for nothing nd. giving chromo to the shipper. This ~ foing business, however, cannot torever. There must be an end to rail- oad wars, and then the Mississippi will be ppreciated as a great highway of com- Ditton is ‘an accommodating fend.

If Mr. Tilden should succeed in renominat- ing Mr. Robinson, the present Governor of New York, and if the powerful anti-Tilden wing of the party can be whipped into his support and allow Mr. Robinson’s re-elec- tion this fall, Mr. Tilden will be the candi- date of his party, if he lives. If, on the other hand, Mr. Til- den is beaten this year, through his rep- resentative, the candidate for the Gov- ernorship, either in the convention or at the polls, his candidacy will be utterly out of question. We consider the possibility of Mr.Tilden’s nomination as so dangerous to the Democ- racy that we do not hesitate to express a hope of Mr. Robinson’s defeat at the polls if he should get the nomination. Better, infinitely better to lose the Gov- ernorship this year, than by gaining it to lose the Presidency next year. SENATOR HENDERSON’S SPEECH. There has been a great deal of talk about the third term, but the powerful argument against it presented to-day through our columns in the speech of ex-Senator John B. Henderson will still surprise many peo- ple. We regard it as the greatest collection and connection of logic, reasoning and ar- gument ever presented upon this subject. It is very easy for commonplace minds and vulgar politicians to dispose of Mr. Henderson’s political atti- tude upon the ground that he hasa ‘‘per- sonal spite’’ or ‘‘grievance’’ against Grant. Let these men read the reasons which Mr. Henderson gives for his position, and try to answer them, if they can. If any Republican stalwart, who favors the third term, can make such answer to the conclusive array of historical facts mar- shaled up by the skillful hand of Mr. Hen- derson, we will publish it with pleasure. We are emphatically opposed to the third term. But we are as emphatically in favor of hearing both sides of the question. Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.): Sitting Bull will soon begin to think that he is the Man Without a Country. He should have his dis- abilities removed, and then he might be made Secretary of War. Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): The assertion of Mr. Glover that $6,550,000 ,000 worth of un- registered and irredeemable bonds and Treas- ury notes emitted in secret are floating vver the country fills us with gloom and apprehen- sion. Jobn Sherman should write a card. Courier-Journal (Dem.): The friends of Mr. Mlendricks are miserably misled. They are de- ceiving themselves now precisely as they de- ceived themselves in 1876. Mr. Hendrieks has no strength to speak of in the South. He has none at allin Kentucky, and he never had. Toledo Bee (Dem.): Gen. Rice lost a leg in the army, and the pension bill he engineered through Congress provides that no pension shall be paid toany one who voluntarily en- gaged in, or aided or abetted the rebellion. teally we don’t see how anybody can wave the bloody shirt at him. National View (Greenback): There is no dis- agreement in our ranks as to principlesor pur- poses, but there is necessarily and properly a ftmeans and methods. Let he most hope- , of our party, that it is based upon e issues which compel discussion. The de- gree of activity in an organization is the meas- ure of its life’ orce. That the old parties avoid discussion is proof palpable that they have no live principles to discuss or else the issues up- on which they hope to win are such as they know will not bear the calcium flight of criti- cism. New York Times (Rep.): With all their fol- lies and faults the Greenbackers cling to two or three positive ideas, and will push them in and out of season. Being themselves earnest, they must see with disgust the insincerity of the Democrats, as illustrated by Mr. Ewing’s sudden silence and by the generalities of the Maine managers. The Democrats, therefore, will have to do their own fighting. The exi- gency which compels them to sheive finance and to give exclusive prominence tothe parti- san aspects of the election laws extinguishes any rational hope they may have entertained of helpon a decisive scale from the Green- backers. Terre Haute (Ind.) Express (Greenback): Peter Cooper is afineold mandor whom the Greenbackers of the country have a profound respect. But heis nottoo wise and good to make a mistake. In advising the Greenback men of Ohio to bolt their own regularly nomi- nated ticket, and voce for the Democratic ticket, he has made a serious tnistake. The Democrats who fondly imagine that Mr. Cooper’s letter will cause the demorilazation of the Greenback party in Ohio, are doubtless ig- norant of the fact that the Greenback men are inthe habit of doing theirown thinking, and are influenced less by ‘‘leaders’’ than any other class in the country. We doubt that there are fifty men in Ohio who will vote for Ewing because Peter Cooper hag advised them to do so. siaciaieisphiatelasiesidabiaesalaeccslia ailiitine PUBLIC OPINION.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I see by your last evening’s issue the great distress prevailing among the sick and desti- tute children in our midst for want of ice. Every mother knows what an indispensable thing it is, especially among young children, and, this being an unusually trying season, it would be well if some of our kind-hearted ladies could spare a little from their private purses towards raising a sum sufficient to sup- ply ice for at least a few weeks for pressing necessities. Ourladies are never weary of well-doing, and if this could be made ‘practi- cable, it would be a truly Christian work. I think many would be giad to contribute. I will give $5 at any time, and many are able to do much more. A LADY SUBSCRIBER. St. Louis, July 9. Our Bachelors Gaining Natioal Fame. {From the Washington Post. } The St. Louis Post-DIsPATCH recently de- voted four columns to the paragraphing of the city’s bachelors—or as it sometimes, with a playful variation of orthography, calls them **bachelaires.’’ From Senator Armstrong and Gen. Marmaduke down to the veriest car- pet night who parts his hair in the middle they are enumerated, and their good iooks and ' agesand bank accounts and family rec- ords and their moral characters and the numbers of the boots they wear are faithfully catalogued.

Taking the general proportion of JS, {ae een He 4s @ ay That of Ex-Senator Henderson at Chillicothe, Mo. r The Evils of Unlimited Paper Money Discussed. What We Need are Statesmen and Not Soldiers. Powerful Argument Against Grant’s Third Term. [The tollowing is the most important part of the speech of ex-Senator John B. Henderson, delivered on the Fourth ot July at Ohiilicothe, Mo., and hitherto unpublished. ] Communities, like individuals,are generally responsible for their misfortunes. It seems to be pleasant to charge the fault upon somebody else, and we generally avail ourselves of the privilege. If an individual eats or drinks too much, he brings upon himself physical suffering. If he wrongs his fellow mun, and is not totally de- void of conscience, he brings mental suffering; and by some wise law of retribution, insepara- ble from our very existence, whenever we do physical or moral wrong, the punishment seems to follow with unerring certainty. Nations are but an aggregation of individu- ais, and they seem subject to the same laws. If individuals insist u;on alife of reckless extravagance we all know that the end thereof is poverty and destitution. He who in- dulges in crime is sure, sooner or later, to meet his ing y nge ‘*‘He who takes the sword, falls by the sword.’’ If individuals incite broils and insist upon pounding their fellow men, they are certain eventually to suf- fer with battered faces or broken ribs. If nations disregard the dictates of wisdom, and violate their own organic laws, evil conse- quences must result. Such disregard and violation occurred in 1861. The Federal Constitution, that great work of a wise aud patriotic ancestry, fur- nished a remedy for every wrong then com- plained of. The three departments of govern- ment organized by it were so happily adjusted - to meet every emergency of the pending crisis. " But the spirit of faction and the fanaticism and corruptions of party drove the people to war. Civil remedies were cast aside. He- roic yiolence was commended as the only pan- acea. The courts were open for the redress of injuries; but the administratiun of justice in the old-time way wastootame. Slavery was thought to be indanger. At least this was the pretext of the period; and the sword was appealed toas the only arbiter of right. The peaceful tribunals of justice were over- thrown, and violence and red-handed war set upintheir piaces. The judges were re- moved and their seats occupied by military commissions and courts-martial. : This wild delirium continued for four years. Ostensibly it was begun in the interest of slavery. When it closed slavery was already abolished. The only argument in its favor was that it was necessary to protect property. During its progress more than enough property was actually de- stroyed to have purchased = and freed all the slaves of Christendom; and that very property intended to be protected was itself destroyed. This was sowing the wind aud reaping the whirlwind. In addition to the actual loss of property destroved, the na- tion expended in suppressing the rebellion not less than four thousand million dollars. A large part of that yet remains as a public debt—a mortgage upon this and future gener- ations. It was es in preserving the Union. It appeals for its liquidation to the national faith; and it will not appealin vain. A good old adage says that ‘the who dances should pay the piper.’’ We have had the dance,and now to repudiate the obligation in- curred would be more disgraceful than the —- which induced the wild debauch it- self. EVILS OF PAPER MONEY. But experience teaches that one false step induces another. Error begets error. Con- stitutional methods being abandoned, the powers of war took their place. The South- Mais, eventually, everything valuable in the South became merged. Like a sponge, it absorbed every species of property. The more the Confederate Government issued, the more it depreciated, while depreciation itself produced the necessity of still larger issues. After it had destroyed. like the poisonous upas tree. everything within reach of its in- fluence, ittoo died. Asit disappeared, the former wealth of the South disappeared with it. ‘The war and its debasing and corrupting methods left nothing of material wealth to those who originated it. Did it leave a purer state ef morals there? Did it increase the school houses or add to the number of eburch spires? They themselves admit that all was lost except honor and manhood. If that be sotbe loss may be considered well nigh total. But the late war brought other misfortunes. The nation, in its efforts to save the Union. was forced also to abandon the constitutional methods that belong to a period of peace. Legitimate business was suspended. The la- bor of the country went into the army, and they who had formerly been the producers of wealth became the destroyers of what had been accumulated in the past. The precious metals took fright, and sought that peaceful investment which alone gives safety. Large volumes of legal-tender paper were issued to supply the place of the coin. This paper fluctuated with the vicissitudes of war. It depended for its value upon the final success of the nation, and when the Gov- ernment triumphed, that which had been un- willingly accepted as a temporary expedient became an established policy. When the war terminated we had plenty of money, such as it was. The success of the Government appre- ciated and established its value. Its volume did not diminish, because other nations did not take it. They preferred the gold‘and silver, which had been driven to them. The paper answered our purposes. In the general joy that weleomed the return of peace, we accepted the Govern- ment’s paper without inquiry as to when or where or how it was to be paid. New banks were daily established, and their issues soon doubled the circulating medium. These bank notes were not convertible into gold and silver, the currency of the Constitu- tion, but into legal tender. Legal tenders were convertible into nothing. ence, the whole financial fabric was airy and unsubstan- tial. But the Union was-restored. A bright fu- ture was anticipated. We had _iost five years of material progress. Rail- roads had to be built. New farms had to be opened, new residences constrypcted aod new furniture supplied. Why not do these things, and do them at once? We had plenty of money for the pur- ose. Wecoafided init, because a successful iovernment had issued it. If we wanted a new issue, that same Government would gen- erously supply it. Whynot? It need never be redeemed. In fact, to redeem it would be an actual insult and an injury to the people. It would contract the currency. Paper money, irredeemable, but legal tender, stim- ulated trade. It was the hand-maid of com- merce, the Aladdin’s lamp to national pros- perity. A new school of financiers started out and preached with great zeal a faith that had slept since 18387. They taught that the nation had been compensated for all the blood and treasure of a four years’ war in the dis- oe of this new financial principle. It was urged again that credil is better than capital, that faith is better than coin, and that a splendid lie is better than the truth. Their teachings were accepted from 1865 till 1873. Inthe meantime we had built 25,000 miles of railway. We had enlarged the im- provements of older cities, and contracted sewers and water and gas works for almost every town and village in the land. The whole country entered upon a wild competitive race of improvement. Counties, townships, cities and towns issued, without limit, their mu- nicipal bonds, and individuals negotiated their notes and mo ed their estates with- out stopping to consider the consequences. During this period we imported from abroad a thousand millions of merchandise in excess of our exportations. This fact alone was enough to satisfy one that a season of national and individual bankruptcy had arrived. But the apostles of the new financial principle insisted that nbacks were a sure preventive of commercial revulsions. Indeed they demonstrated, to their own satisfaction, that no nation could fall into adversity with an abundant currency; that one currency is as as another, provided it have the Gov- ernment stamp. Iron, brass, even leather, would answer the purpose. We never could be as long as we had plenty of money, and we ht never to want for money pro- vided the Government would do its duty, and issue up to the demands of commerce and the wants of business. ~q merit of this fiat pope baa that be ignorant denizens of ot ed it, our would enjoy = ex ern people sent their gold and silver abroad, to buy arms, and supplied themselves ww {hey cata Pere ee “and rags. Cat eS BE se ee ne | Nations] Government notes. The of that dreadful war to which I havé alluded. The rebellion itself. was anu attack on the Constitution—an insult to the memory and the patriotism of our fathers. It was a great national crime, that brought in its train numerous errors of government. It brushed away the sage teachinzs of those great men who framed our institutions. It accus- tomed the people to acts of violence, and taught them to admire and accept the men and methods of force. It covered the debris of civil convulsion the memory of our great statesmen, and restored the worship of military heroes—that bane of republics. PLEA FOR A NON-MILITARY GOVERNMENT. The achievements of the Senate during the days of Webster, Clay, Benton and Wright, as well as the learning of Marshall and Taney, have been totally obscured in the blaze of shoulder-straps and other military adorn- ments. Our Southern friends fill Congress with Brigadier-Generals of the lost cause, and the North insists that the hero of Appomattox must be summoned home to put down the new rebellion. We fought four years to subdue the Southern Confederacy, and to compel its people to send their mem- bers of Congress to Washington instead of Richmond; and®now that we have them at Washington, daily uttering protestations of superior loyalty, love and attachment to a government that pays them $5,000 per an- num and mileage, we deliberately propose to summcin Gen. Grant once more from his eaceful retirement to drive the brigadiers ome. We insisted upon Southern representation, and when we get it, it seems we are not satis- fied with it. Is it the quantity or quality of this repre- sentation to which we object? If the former be the objection, the proper remedy, it occurs to me, is to elect more Re- ublican members to Congress. If the latter e the ns I suggest that we put before our deluded brethern of the South a better ex- ample. Ever since the war closed we have had in the Presidential chair a military man. We had General Grant eight years, and we bave now had General Hayes three vears. During that time Republican majorities of two to one, in both branches of Congress, have changed into large Democratic majori- ties, and the popular majority in the nation frem a half million Republican to a quarter of a million Democratic. If these be the legitimate fruits of military rule, what shail we expect from its continua- tion? This hero worship is one of the evil ef- fects of war that neods to be superseded by better political creeds. After the close of our first great revolution, which resulted in the freedom of the colonies from Great Britain, the elec- tion of Gen. Washington to the Presidency was an expression of gratitude due from the colonists to their great chief. He was not alone distinguished in war. He had received his civic honors also. and had presided over the deliberations of the convention which framed the Constitution. But letit be remembered that this great man, familiar as he was with all the traditions of the struggle, and equally so with the senti- ments and convictions ef these who had just laid the foundation of American liberty, deemed it his duty to retire after eight years of service. And after this debt of gratitude had been discharged, our forefathers, conscious of the great work to be done, nat- urally turned tothe distinguished statesmen of the age. The work of the military man had been accomplished. The civil institutions of a great nation hadto be formulated and es- tablisned. and this was the work of the states- man. For thirty-two years thereafter the chief magistracy was held by the Adams, by Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. These were giants intheir day. ‘‘Peace hath her vic- tories no less renowned than war:’’ and the peaceful fame of these men will live forever. War is not the customary business tions. Itis abnormal. Waris phrenzy, and it brings with it pain, poverty and destitu- tion. Peace is happinsss, and brings in its train wealth, civilization, education, morali- ty, religion. It wasthe arts of peace that the colonists would cultivate. They were wise men and selected the best instrumentali- ties for the purpose. This was the golden age of American his- tory. After the war of the late rebellion the same condition of things existed that followed the revolutionary struggle. As the colonists hon- ored Washington, soa grateful nation proper- ly honored General Grant. Washington’s election in 1789 was butthe expression of a nation’s gratitude. Grant’s election in 1868 was no less due to eminent services, patriotic- ally employed in behalf of his country. In both casesthe people feltand acknowl- edged the obligations of graiitide; and in honoring theiy-~-great heroes honored themselves“ no less. Washing- ton wasthe military “hero of the first great war. Grant was the hero of the second. Each has been honored alike. The fame of the one is secure. The fame of the other will be best secured by following in ail things the example of the former. The war of the rebellion is now past. Its work is done. The Union is restored; our debt of gratitude is discharged; our second great military leader has been elevated by the affections of a generous people to ali the honors enjoyed by Washington. He should claim no more. It is enough for any man that his honors are equal to thoseof Washington. The ambition that seeks for more may well be doubted. WE NEED STATESMEN, NOT SOLDIERS. The questions affecting our interests now are questions of political economy. They belong to the statesman and not to the soldier. When we are sick we call in the physician: when our rights of property are in dispute we call upon the lawyer; when wars prevail and ar- mies are to be commanded we need the sol- dier; but when great commercial or financial problems are to be solved we should appeal to the educated statesman. If there be tramps and socialists, and labor reformers in the land, they are the outgrowth of the hard times which invariably follow upon the heels of war. They infested America after the Revolution- ary war. ‘They clamored in England after the Napoleonic struggle, and now they afflict Rus- sia since the Turkish war. To remove these complaints is the work of the statesman. The military chieftain is as little qualified to treat such disorders as he is totreat the wounded soldiers upon the battle-fields of his victories. I am aware that many good men are always ready to call for the mailed hand of the war- rior to — the most trifling disorders. r. Webster once said: ‘*Power is always’ claimed for the good of the people, and dictators are always made, when made at all, forthe good of the people.’’ In 1848 Louis Napoleon returned to France as a Republican delegate to the National As- sembly. He was elected President for four years under afree constitution. He helped to incite the discrders which led to the ever- throw ofthe Constitution which he himself had sworn to support. To give peace to France he was elected for ten is before the four years had expired. And within the same year, for the good of the people, he proclaimed him- self, at the point of the bayonet, **Napoleon LII., hereditary Emperor of the French by the grace of God and the will of the people.’’ . It was fear of numan ambition which led to repeated votes in the Federal Convention in favor of a — term for the Presidency. Gov. Randolph, of Virginia, and Mr. Patter- son, of New Jersey, in their respective plans for a Constitution, adopteda single term of seven years, the officer to be ineligible a second time. It was only after an election by the people. instead of the national legislature, d been agreed on, and after determining to make the President amenable to the process of impeachment, that the convention resolved, by a close vote, to abandon the principle of a single term. But the convention was net satisfied with this abandonment, and returned again to the former convictions of its members on this subject. On July 24 Mr. Williamson asked the con- vention to readopta term of seven years for the Presidency and subsequent ineligibility. He said: He (the Executive) will spare no pains to keep himselt in for life. and will then lay a train for the succession of his children. It was pretty certain, he thought, that we should at some time or other have a king: but he wished no precaution to be omitted that might post- pone the event as long as possible. Ineligibil- ity a second time appeared to him to be the best precaution. Governeur Morris favored re-eligibility, —_ short terms. Speaking of long terms, he said: The Executive will be in possession of the sword, acivil war will ensue, and the com- mander of the victorious army,on whichever side, will be the despot of America. On July 26, Mr. Mason. of Virginia, moved that the original report of the committee of the whole be reinstated, to-wit: That the exccutive be appointed for seven years and be ineligible a second time. On this motion Dr. Franklin remarked that ‘*it seems to have been imagined by some that the returning to the mass of the people ge or of na- degrading the magistrate.

This morning in the suit of Woltort & Reilly against P. Krieger, Sr., the depositions ot F. A. Bryson, clerk of the steamer North- western, and of Wilbur F. Parker, second clerk of the same boat, were taken beforea notary in Mr. MacDonald's office. The testi- mony allrelated tothe ‘‘mysterious'’ pack- age whichyeung John Krieger is said to have taken with him to Minnesota and drought back from St. Paul to Alton, where it mysteriously disappeared. WILLIAM F. PARKER was first examined and deposed: Resided in St. Louis. Worked on the river. Had lived here all his life. Was working onthe steamer Northwestern running from St. Louis to St. Paul. Kemember tbe trip when voung Krieger was on board. The party he was with got on atst. Paul. Had never seen young Krieger betore. Krieger had aticket for St. Louis. He left the boat at Alton. Did not know why he left the boat. As Krieger passed him hur- riedly getting off the boat witness asked him if he was goingup by railand he made no an- swer. He had two valises with him and a package which he gave tothe clerk to putin the safe. Did not know whether it was before Mr. Devoy got on-the boat. Wasin the office whea he got the package out. Was sittinginachair when young krieger came up and asked tor his pack- age. There was nothing unusual in his man- ner. It wasan ordinary package about the size of a shirt wrapped up in paper. Had associated with Krieger coming down. Krieger always spoke as it he was coming down to St. Louis; knew of no cause for his getting off at Alton. F. A. BRYSON depose: His home was in Kentucky, but had been in St. Louis for ten or fifteen years. Dur- ing the last month was onjthe Northwestern. Knew Jolin Krieger, who came on board at St. Paul. Sold him tickets to St. Louis; asked him bis name, and he said John BB. Krieger; asked him then if he was related tothe Broadway Savings Bank tellows; he said he was. Nothing transpired until the boat reached Alton, wbere he got off. Krieger gave witness a package; thought he kept it two nights tor Krieger; it might have veen only one night; when he gave it tothe witness the boat was pretty well down tlie river ;witness thought it was afterthe boat had left Davenport, but was not sure; the package wus about six or eight inches wide by about fourteen inches long and about three inches high. It was a heavy package. It felt like paper, or some- thing that way. Witness knew what bonds were, and thought it felt like a package of bonds. It was done up in a newspaper. Krieger came for it before thé boat got to Al- ton. Witness didn’t remember whether it was before that or after the boat was ut the land- ing. Witness went up town to send a dispatch off: it was before that. Krieger asked tor his package and witness handed ittohim. Did not notice what he did with it. Krieger told witness when he brought the pack- age he had been keeping it in his valise. Keri- ger could not have put the package in his pocket. The Northwestern would arrive at St. Louis before the train. The boat usually ran down in abont two hours trom Alton. Krieger gave no reason for getting off at Alton. Had always let witness suppuse he was coming to St. Louis. Witness did not know whether he met any person at Alton. The package was the only one he had from the party. The pack- uge was not sealed. It did not contain sheets or notes, it felt Jike papers—just like bonds. Adjourned. LOCAL CRIME. Burglars Captured.

He Declares the Charges Against Him to be Base and Ingenious Fabrications. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The ingenious and base fabiications publish- ed concerning meimpel me to say that, for Dr. Eliot’s presence at our communion service and for the ‘‘joined wmeeting’’ of the Second Baptis¢ Church and the congregation ‘‘Shaare-Emeth,’’ I[ am alone responsible; and, were I placed under similar circumstances, I would do as [I have done. For all my words and acts I am account- able to God and tothe church of which I am pastor, and it were almost worth the criticism to which I have been subjected during the last six months to discover howtrue and noble is the church I serve, the unity and love of which are my joy andcrown. The acts and words of ctheis towards mé, and their motives, are and will be weil understood by all. The pub- lic will judge of character. But I pez leave to say that, however interesting it may be to per- sons to peruse newspaper controversies be- tween individuals, 1 do not think that it is for the best interests of the cause of religion in this city, or that it comports with the dignity of Christian ministers or churches, to engage in them, and therefore I shall not allow any at- tacks, even upon mv personal honor, to tempt me to such acourse. It will be my aim ina the future, as I trust it has been in the past, to de- clare the truth as I understand it, and to treat all who differ from me with courtesy, liberali- ty and charity. Very truly, yours, W. W. Boyp. St. Louis, July 9. Chinese Love-Making. The Celestial Empire tells ofa Chinaman who has lived among the Miaotaz, and givesa curious account of their love-making. When the parents ofa lad and girl think that a mutch between their children will be suitable, the latter are directed to mount each a hillock distant 100 paces or so one from the other. From the summit the girl sings or chants, and when sbe has finished the lad responds in suit- able language. The parents then ask the daughter if the youth’s song reciprocates her sentiments. If she says ‘‘ves,’’ he is asked whether he will take her or no. Ifhe declines, both parties must begin aJl over again on some other occasion. THE SARATOGA REGATTA.
