By Cavle to Western Associated Press. LONDON, July 10.—The removal of the body of the Prince Imperial from the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich to Chiselhurst, will take place Saturday. The whole distance will be traversed at a walking pace, the proces- sion reaching Camden House about 8 o’clock. The whele Woolwich garrison will proceed separately to Chiselhurst to partici- pate in the obsequies. Funeral bells will be tolled as the corpse leaves Woolwich. On ar- riving AT CAMDEN HOUSE the coffin will be carried by officers of the artillery into the hall where the body of the Emperor lay in state. The hall will be draped in white. The corpse will remain here until 11 o’clock, during which time a mass of requiem will be celebrated in the pres- ence of a = select party by Father Gordard, the chaplain to the Empress. The officers willthenreplace the body on _ the gun carriage and a procession will be form- ed, consisting of the first class of cadets of the Military Academy with reversed arnfs, a mounted band of artillery, and then will follow the coffin. THE MOURNERS are expected to include the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught and the Duke of Cam- bridge, beside French notables. The Church of St. Mary 18 distant only half a mile from the house, but the procession will follow a devious route to avoid declivities. It is expected that there will be a crowd of 100,000 SPECTATORS PRESENT. The Fifth Lancers will keep the route clear. Three batteries of artillery on the common will fire minute guns during the progress of the procession, and the cadets will fire three rifle volleys as the body en- ters the church, The officers will then carry the coffin from the gun car- riage and file out of the side door, leaving the remaining duties to the friends of the deceas- ed. THE CEREMONIES will consist of a short mass, and will probably be concluded by noon. The three chairs used by the Imperial family have been placed inside the altar rail. Ex-Empress Eugenie will occupy her chair, and members of the Bonaparte family present will be stationed outside of the rail of the sanctuary, on the right and left of the al- tar, and the members of the household in front. The pavilionon the deck of the En- chantress has been fitted up as a mortuary. ALREADY AT CHISELHURST. The following are at Chiselhurst to attend the funeral: The Duke and Duchess of Mouchy, Prince Murat, M. Rouher. wife and daughter and the Princess of Moskowa. It 1s probable that Prince Jerome Bonaparte will be present. The Princess Clothilde and her sons will certainly be present. SENDING THE REMAINS.

Minute guns were fired. Prince Murat was present. . AGRICULTURAL DISASTER, By Cable to Western Associated Press. LONDON, July 10.—John Joseph Mechi, the noted scientific agriculturist, writes to the Times as follows: Another week of flooding storms and low temperature has put the fin- ishing stroke to our agricultural disaster. It is now too late for the crops to recover. They are considerably injured even on well-farmed and undrained tands; the matter 1s simpry ruinous. Wheust will suffer less than the spring crops. Weeding is hopeless, and un- less we get the promised hot, dry weather many of the grass and clover crops, and even peas will rot ungathered. Russia. LIBERTY FOR DISSENTERS. By Cable to Western Associated Press. LONDON, July 10.—A dispatch from St. Petersburgmto the Daily News reports that dissenters from the Orthodox Church, hither- to unrecognized by the State, are to have entire liberty of worship. This decision af- fects 12,000,000 Russian subjects. CHINESE RAIDS AT KULDJA. By Cable to Western Associated Press. St. PETERSBURG, July. 10.—The Russians sent a force of two hundred Cossacks against the Chinese raiders at Kuidja. The Cossacks, however, hearing of the assem- blage of a vastly superior force of Chinese, retreated. It is not doubted that the Chinese are about to develop a mili- tary demonstration towards the Kuldja front- ier on a very large scale. TURNING THE OXUS. Thousands of workmen have been engaged several weeks on the works designed to cause the Oxus River to return to its ancient bed, so as to establish easy water communication be- tween the Caspian Sea and the regions border- vA of the Post says Gen.

PaRIs, July 10.—Permission has been re- fused Marshals Certain, Canrobert and Le- boeuf and Admiral Lagrieve to attend the funeral of the Prince Imperial. PRINCE JEROME BONAPARTE has already virtually assumed the attitude of Chief of the Imperialists. It was represented to him that committees were working in every department and canton. subsidized newspa- pers were advocating the cause of the Bonapartists, and that the faults of the present government were being skillfully and vigorously turned to account when the death of the Prince Imperial came to check a great and well managed organization on the point of bearing fruit. Prince Jerome, who was only anxious at first to avoid being ex- iled, has become so strongly assured that his hour will soon come that he is prepared even to go into exile. CONFINED TO HIS ROOM.

By Cable to Western Associated Press. LONDON, July 10.—A dispatch dated Cape- town, June 23d, says: General Sir Garnet Wolseley arrived to-day, and immediately started for Natal on board a swift steamer. Telegrams received at Capetown state that the British forces are within twenty-five miles of Cetewayo’s Kraal, Gen. Wolseley therefore determined to reach the | front without delay. A CAPETOWN DISPATCH of June 24 says: In consequence of the defec- tive state of the transportation service, Gener- al Wolseley has summoned a meeting of native chiefs at Maritzburg on the 30th of June to devise measures for transportation by native carriers. Gen. Walseley will startfor the front the first of July. Zulu prisoners state that King Cete- wayo will allow our troops to advance near Ulundi and there make an attack. FROM RORKE’S DRIFT. A dispatch from Rorke’s Drift, June 24th, says the decision of the court-martial in the case of Lieut. Carey, who commanded the ex- pedition in which the Prince Imperial lost his life, has been sent to England for coafirma- tion prior to its publication. Lieut. Carey will go home at the first opportunity. FLEEING FOR LIFE The Citizens of Memphis Stam- peded by the Yellow Fever. -— —_ Five New Cases and One Death Reported To-Day.

E. RB. Ray, of the Criminal Court, who, together with another son, is prostrated with the disease. A PERFECT STAMPEDE of the citizens of this place is in progress, the trains being unable to carrv away the hune- dreds who are ready’to leave. THE SITUATION AT 2 P. By Western Associated Press. MEMPHIS, TENN., July 10.—At this hour, 2p. nf., there has been no change in the situ- ation. The great desire of everyone is to leave before the fever spreads. The physicians are hopeful as to the future, but the stampede of the citizens has almost assumed a panic form. There will not be cars enough to-night to car: ry the people away.

Effects of the Heat on Man and Beast ---At the Dispensary---Cases of Overheat---How Busi- ness is Affected. The Hottest Yet. The heat to-day has peen greaterthan any previous day this year. The thermometer this morning has marked in the shade as high as 98 degrees, which is within balt a degree of the heat of July 17, 1878, the hottest day of last year. As on yesterday every preparation was early made atthe Dispensary for the thorough care of those who might be prostratedduring the day. A PosT-DISPATCH reporter took in the hottest partsof the town tosee how the inhabitants conducted themselves under the influence of the heat. The town is in its shirt sleeves, metaphorically and physically, and still #is measuredly unhappy. The weather permeates every nook and cranny ofthe heavy ware- houses On the business streets, and fills them full ot heat. The moist and clammy workman lifts heavily at huge burdens, and half sick and half baked. looks weariiy forward for the noonday rest. Along Second street the effects were not so marked this morning as they were along atreets like Pine, Chestnut and Olive, where the vertical beams of the sun beat down onthe shadowless thor- oughfares. People sought the shady side, and when they couldn't find it hurried along with just a dim wonder in their mindsif they were going to be sunstruck. A drunken man onthe corner of Third and Washington avenue deliverately reeled out into the street and lay down on the broiling rock. He was taken subsequently back to the shady pavement, and finally lurched on in a devious path towards the river. Incidents were fewin the morning. body was saying to everybody else that this was the hottest day since [849, ard meaning it, too. Young ladies adventurous enough totry shopping were in a most wiltedand unhappy condition. THE STREET CARS did a good business, as no one wished to walk in the sun, but the pouring heat was too much for the horses, and many of thein will succumb before the day is past,despite the trequent ap- plication of cold water to their heads. All whose business calls them out are taking nu- merous precautions. The builders’ espe- cially, whose shadowless perches are the walis of the different houses, are anethamatizing the weather to the echo. AT TBHS GIGNAL OFFICE the 11 o’cloeK reading was 95°, four points bigher than the temperature yesterday at the same hour; their reading at 32:15 was 97°. The prospects all point to a continuation of the high temperature, no area of high bDarome- ter having yet appeared in the Northwest, which is the only relief to which St. Louis can look, nor are the prospects good tor any imine- diate appearance of high area in the cool region. At2p.m.the Signal Service thermometer marked 100 deg. in the shade. Every- How it Feels te be Sunstruck,. Mr. H. K. Rachel, an old citizen of St. Louis, | who has lived here for several years, was one ofthe victims of sunstroke last summer and detailed his feelings to a reporter. He said that be had been walking down Olive street with a friend, after tramping about the streets in the sunshine all day, and, while con- scious of a little fullness in the head, felt no discomtort from the heat. Of a sudden his head began toache and an orange-colored film spread before his eyes. He could see nothing distinctly, but kept on walking mechanically. His brain, he said, seemed to be frying, and sensations of exquisite agony seemed to filliit. Hehad hold ot bis friend’s arm, and, scious that something was wrong, had no idea that be was sunstruck. He does not know how long he was in this condition, when he stumbled and felb heavily to the ground. A hack was called, and be was driven to his- home on Dodier street, a lone distance, the awful pain continuing allthetime. He never lost consciousness un- tilhesankinto a heavy sleep at his house after being thoroughly cooled off with ice and water. Forsome weeks after the stroke his memory was impaired and he only gradually recovered from the effects of the prostration. Infantile Mortality. The mortality for the week has been compos- ed to the extent of eighty per cent of children, and the large majority of these have died of summer complaint, so-called. This insidious disease bas yearly earried off its quota of chil- dren, and no means ot stoppingit has as yet been found, Dr. Louis Bauer, whose practice has been, to a gfeat extent, among children, was visited and asked about this enemy of the young. In answer tothe reporter’s questions, the Doc- tor’s remaiks ran nearly as follows: For the last week there has been excessive mortality among children below five years of age, and these victims are principally infants. ‘Lhe certificates do not always express tiie con- nection between the remote orthe proximate cause of death. They die trom convulsions, inflammation, of the brain, from general debility Or marasmus. But should we inquire more closely we would find thatthe eventual deata was preceded by vomiting, diarrhoea, weneral restiessness, incessant thirst, symptoms accompanying the se-called sumnier complaint of children. Ido notmean to assert that the views which I am advancin fit every individual case. lam satisfied that they apply to the greater majority. Most physicians ascribe the cuuse of suinmer complaints to. excessive heat, and I have myself shared in these views a num- ber of years, but I am satisfied that the heat is the indirect, not the direct, cause of this infantile disease. A nurseling whois sustained by a young and healthy mother or wetnurse should have no summer complaint at all, notwithstanding tue prevailing temperature. If it is attacked, there is some derangement in the health, of te mother, wost usually constipation. With the removal of this disease the child recovers usually WITHOUT MEDICATION, The greatest ravages of summer complaint are among infants brought up on the bottle aud artificial feeding, and in the substances which are used as foods, the cause of summer complaint: and mortality must be looked for. The milk with which our families are furnish- ed is, during the hot season, with few exceptions, unsuited as nutriment for babies; the morning milk is delivered at night, the evening milk in the morning. Hence, it is twelve hours old before it reaches the consumer. During this time it is kept in a basement not always udapt- ed for the puypose, itis driven miles in carts and shaken up, the ice which is used to keep it cool dilutes the partly skimmed =milk. In one word, the milk is rather poor in its composition and partly decomposed when it is presented for use. The tongue may fail to discover the acidity of the milk, but if litmus paper dip into it it reveals the fact offree aciditv. Sucha milk at once congeals in the stomach and undergoes a decom.- —— and this decom material again rritates the bowels, ne cme motion and morbid discha These statements are not a n8 per ween while perfectly con-. efits tne children. Iam, however, of the opin- fon that the access to good, pure and suitable milk inthe country constitutes the chief ad- vantuge of a rural retreat. It is surprising how rapidly the babies im- prove and recover health and flesh THROUGH FRESH COUNTRY MILK. Very few families ars financially so situated :; to be able to take their intant sufferers tothe | The next best thing would be t take | country. excursions to such places as furnish good milk. as often as their circumstances will permit. If thig should also prove impracticable, there is but one wa left. Give twice a day a clean bottle to the milkman and instruct him to fill one of them with fresh wilk, to cork the bottle carefully and put it in a cool place, on ice if possible, until the time of delivery; for this reason, that the milk will not decompose as readily in a well corked bot- tle as in an open vessel exposed for the action ot the =~ (ae he After the milk has been delivered should be examined with litmus paper before using, and if it turns the blue color into red, the milk should not be given. Ifthe paper remains unchanged... the milk is good and will do no harm. Ifa part of the milk has been used, the rest should be filled into a smaller bottle, quite tull, preperly corked with an india ruober stopper, and kept in a cold place for future use, either in an ice- box or suspended in a well. I feel persuaded that by this precaution I have saved the lives ot many achild, and have ruised every one of my children in this way. I rely much more on a proper diet than on a medical treatment ot summer complaint. There may be cases that require the physician, and then ke should be promptly sent for. Horses and Cattle. The street car companies have taken the greatest precautions in this direction ,the horses being frequently changed, watered and cooled with wet sponges being placed on their heads. Private individuals that arethe owners of val uable horses are as wary ofthem as of them- selves. One class of dumb animals that are un- cared for, and which claim the attention of the Society tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals, is the cattle that are in the possession of one person but a short space of time. The cattic that daily pass through East St. Louis boxed up in cattle cars penne a pitiable sight. Every available space is occupied. The first animal that enters the car is placed against one of the ends facing one sideof the car. The nextis driven immediately against this one, with its face in the opposite direction, so that when the car is loaded it is impossible for them to lie down, turn or ease themselves iu any way. Inthis manner they are shipped over hundreds of miles. The ice Mission. According to the suggestiom made by a well- known lady in yesterday’s PosT-DISPATCH, & number of ladies have already combined to- gether to raise the necessary funds to distrib- ute ice among the poor of the city. The project bas already been taken up Dy 80 many people that it is an assured success,and efforts will be made first to take care of the immense tenement houses in which so many human oe are hived together so closely and so tol. McFall found a new crisp, one doliar bill this morning in front o. the Fourt Courts, which he turned over to Sergeant Chapman as a contribution to this laudable fund. Atthe Dispensary. Daniel Lucey incautiously got tight this morning and tell onthe street at the corner of Eleventh and Chestnut from the combined ef- fects of alcohol and caloric. He has almost completely recoverea and will be taken to his home, 2001 Arsenal street, to-night. Joln Straub, a boy of about 15 years of age, living near the Fair Grounds, came into the city this morning with his father. He was playing in the street, and on the corner of Sixth and Locust was prostrated by the heat this morning. After the usual doucshing he was sent home thoroughly cured. Ata late hour yesterday afternoon Fred. Miller, a carpenter, was prostratead by the heat while working onthe roof of the stable attached to his premises, No. 2641 Sarah street. His fall was observed by some of the neighb,ors who carried him into the house and summoned (Dr. Pirtle. Restoratives and ice-water were promptly ad- ministered, and at midnighttbe unfortunate man was pronounced out of danger. About 3:25 o’clock this afternoon H. M. Hart, a collector, was prostrated by the heat on the corner of Second and Olive streets. He was ta ken into Lynch Brothers’ liquor store, where he was partly revived. East St. Louis. The thermometer marked as high as 98 deg. in the shade at noon in some portions of East St. Louis to-day. There has not been a pros- tration by the heat sofir this summer. Last Wednesday a Texas steer belonging to Frank J. Miller died from the effects of the heat on avenue B, at the National Stock Yards. To-Day’s Thermometer.

Hot Weather Remarks. Keep cool. Old Sol is booming. The fiy-fan man is around again. White bats are the best to reflect the heat. A cool place—the hind end of a water-cart. W here is the author ot ‘‘ Beautiful Snow?’’ Horses have begun to wear spring bounets. This hot spell conduces to increase the death list. R The Ice Mission should not be allowed to ail. The levee is blazing hot from one end tothe other. Ice scream is the latest warcry ofthe young ladies. Soda water fountains are kept busy in the evening. The thermometer’s latest gag—‘‘How is this tor high?’’ As Bardwell Slote would say, ‘‘ We're having ah. o. t. just now.’’ No young manistruly happy unless he has his head shaven clean to the bone. The best thing aman can fan himself with now-a-days is a blacksmith’s bellows. It must have like this when Diogenes insisted on sitting in bis tub. The statement that beer drinkingisan easy road to sunstroke does not seem to have any effect upon the consumption of lager. The doubt as to the existence ofa hell is due to the difficulty of believing that there is a hot- ter place than St. Louis. —|Chicago Times. ‘‘I'm meiting,’’ sobbed Jones as he mopped hisface with his shirt sleeve this morning. ‘*So am I,’’ rejoined Brown; ‘‘who’d a thaw’t it?’’ Linen dusters hang limp around the forms of the multiuiude, and the sweat-spots give thcm the appearance Of sO many maps of South Africa. It always did seem as if ‘‘ice-cooler’’ was a misnomer. There is nota manin town who ithe was as cool asice would wunt to be any cooler. Itis very pathetic to see the folks coming down the streets running east and west in the morning, tryingto hug tbethin shadows that woo the walls. A St. Louis lawyer says that if heaven is any nearer the sun than St. Louis he wants to go to the other place—and he probably wiil whether he wants to or not. The Fourth and Locust street cars change horses on O'Fallon between Eleventh anil Tweltth, the weatber being to warm torone team to make the whole run. People who write letters from the Northern resorts, statingthat ‘‘ice formed on the water bucket an inch thick last night,’’ do not know how they harrow up the feelings of people upon whose fevered brows perspiration formed a foot deep at the same tiine. When a man sails up to a thermometer, takes off his bat, pullsJout his handkerchief, scours his face, and after looking up, turn’ away with the expression, ‘‘My God!’’ you can bet he’ll buy a glass of beer or veg a glass of ice- water before he goes three blocks. The tightful experience of St. Louis last summer seems likely to be repeated. The thermometer there ranged yesterday from 96°C to 99°,and the city ambulances were busy car ‘ing tothe hospitals the victims of the fearful heat.

A Victory for the City—The Case Appealed —Two Prisoners Sentenced. Judge Dillon’s Retirement. The United States Circuit and District Vourts convened thie morning at 10:30 in joint ses- sion with Judge Krekel @n the bench. For the ‘‘heated term’’ théré Was an unusually Jarge array of lawy@fa on hand and it was at once apparent that Something was on the car- pet outside of the usual rou- tine. Mr. John Snepley sat hand- ling 4 formidable looxing document to which, even at the eleventh hour, he was securing signatures. The occasion of this ‘*festive’’ gathering of prominent attorneys was the presentation of an address to Judge Dillon to the court, with the petition that it be spread upon the records. The reason of this action is Judge Dillon’s retirement from the U, 8. bench. Among the lawyers present were Senator Henderson, John Shepley, Gen. Shields, Gov. Thos. Reynolds, Gov. Fletcher, Judge John M. Krum, Judge Dryden and son, John M. Glover, Arba N. Crane, W. Pattison, J. Shippen, As- sistant Circuit Attorney Dennison, and many other legal luminaries of a greater and lesser degree of bril‘iancy. Judge Krekei entered, took his seat upon the bench, and then there was a solemn pause. Here the programme was nearly spoiled by an impetuous young advocate, who, in his ardor to make a motion, forgot all about the address, ete. The court benignantly restrained the eagerness of the lawyer, and Mr. John Shep- ley stepped forwaru. ‘*‘May it please the Court: The official con- nection of a Circuit Judge with the Circuit Court is to be closed, and I have great pleas- ure in presenting tothe court over which he bas presided so many years an expression of the esteem and admiration felt both for Judge Dillon as a nan and asa judge by the mem- bers of the bar, and their regret at the seveyance of the tie which years of patient labor, high integrity, eminent ability and uniform courtesy have made stronger and stronger. I can add nothing to this expression of their appreciation of the life und labor of Judge Dillon among us. Ican addonly their regret that a few ot the more prominent mem- bers of the bar have been prevented, who would have been most anxious to joia in this tribute to Judge Dillon—huave been prevented by their absence from the city in unitingin this expression of Opinion. On behaif of the members of the bar, I beg that this expression of their regard and esteem for Jndge Di ‘lion be spread upon the minutes of the court. Mr. Shepley then read the *‘expression of opinion,’’ which bas already been published in the P.-D., and also read the long list of signa- tures, which comprised almost every lawyer cf prominence, besides many of lesser fae. Judge Kre kel asked whether any other inem- ber or the bar wished to speak, whereupon ex- Gov. Fhos. E. Reynolds arose, ance said: ‘‘If the Court please, that address so fuily and naturally expresses the estimation in which Judge Dillon is held by the bar of the State that I presume that there is scarcely any necessity forany one member like myseif toadd any- thing*whatever to what is there said, especiaily at a season when any prolongation of the ses- sions of this court must be a trial to the nerves of your Honor in this present state of the weather. I therefore second the motion of Shepley and deelare to the Court believe that entering this the record as a permanent monument tothe fame of Judge Dillon will be an act of justice to him, and one which wlil giatitv the entire bar of the State. Judge Krekel then responded as follows: ‘‘T can only say thatI join with the members of the bar in the expression of their regard and esteem as regards Jadge Dillon. I becane in our intercourse acquainted with him. Know- ing his reputation, every day thatIl met with him increased mv regard and esteem for Judge Dillon,and I had special opportunities in consultation to know and learn of his character and there seemed to be one idea he had; that | was to do exact justice in every case that came before him. While he held with firmness to his own opinions he still listened with attention and regard to the opinions of others. Hts tol- eration was one of the marked features in his character. As you know he never formed an opinion except upon athorough examination of every case; he never spared any labor in reaching a proper conclusion. know that although our many be interfered with the relations thut have been established Letweson us will be continued, as 1 have the best reason for believing. I made the order to be entered upon the minutes of both courts. intercourse City of St. Louis vs. Receiver of National Bank of State of Missouri. This was a suit in equity brought by the city against Walter S. Jobnson, Receiver of the Na- tional Bank of the State of Missouri, for a bal- ance of $38,134 89, which was deposited in the Bank of the Republic in New York, atthe time of the suspension of the former institution. Messrs. Leverett Bell and Jas. E. Withrow represented the city in the United States Cir- cnit Court, and Messrs. Henderson and Shieids the receiver. The decision of tue court, which wus given by Judge Dilion, and sent by him to Judge Krekel to deliver, is a very important one to bankers and their customers. The following synopsis, written by Judge Dillon asa head note, contains the kernel of the opinion: ‘‘The ordinary relation between a banker and his customer, as respects money deposited by the latter with the former, is that of debtor and creditor; Lut on the special circumstances ofthis cuse the relation between the two, as respects a specified sum of money remitted by the banker atthe request of the customer to another bank to pay a specified debt of the customer, was held to be that of principxl and eyent, or trustee and cestui que trust, aud not that of debtor and creditor. The opinion begins by reciting the cause of action. The city of St. Lonis and the Receiver of the National Bank of the State of Missouri respectively claim to be entitled tothe sum of $29,564 29 curreacy and $8,570 60 goid on deposit June 20, 1877, to the credit of the above named bank in the Bank of the Repub- lit in New York. The facts are as toliows: The Nationa) Bank of Missouri suspended June 19, 1877, and Johnson was appointed Receiver by the Comptroller of the Currency. From 1870 to the time of its suspension the bank was the eens of the inoney of thecity of St. Louis. ‘he City Treagurer deposited the money and it was subject to be drawn out on checks signed by him. Three accounts with the city were kept by the bank: the current account and two special accounts, one called the ‘‘coupon ac- count, geld,’* the other the ‘‘bond aad coupor account, currency. A} oi tion of the bonds and coupons of the city, when due, was payable at the Bank of the Re public, in New York,and the rest at the Bank ot Commerce in that city. To meet these pay- ments the City Tr asurer drew a check onthe National Bank of Missouri for tie amount re- quired, with written instructions to remit to the New York banks. Many such remittaaces were made and this suit relates to the balance at the Bunk of the Repubiic. The money remitted by the National Bank of Missouri to the Bank ot the Republic was cred- ited to the National bank of Missouri with the know!edge and direction of the city, and cou- pons and bonds, when paid, were charged to the National Bank of M ssouri, with commis- sions, andthis bank entered the amount, ac- cording to whether it was _— in currenvy or gold, in the respective special pass book with exchange and commissions. The Bank of Commerce was the general cor- respondent of the National Bank of Missouri. The only transactions the State Bank of Missouri had with the Bank of the Republic were those relating to the payment of the bouds and coupons with funds remitted and pro vided for that purpose. This suit involves the balance remaining in the Bank®? the Kepub- ge hd the time of the suspenvion of the Missouri In bis — Judge Dillion says: ‘‘The gen eral relation of the bankand of the city was the usual relation of a banker to his customer, viz., the relation of debtor and creditor.’’ After analyzing the various aspects case, the Judge conciudes as follows: **The special) pass books are to be regard asinthe nature of memoranda and ado Republic for tye Ee pons of the ma e bank Pa at exchange on the amount it thas fevenveae same as it would ch if the dratt had — by any other customer.

BELABORING BOYD. - = —_— The Baptist Brethren Still After the Second Church Pastor. A Religious Editor's Opinion of the = *Controversy. The Accused Clergyman Endorsed by His Congregation. The Baptists of St. Louis continue to be greatly agitated over the controversy concérn- ing the alleged beterodoxy of Dr. Boyd, of tne Second Baptist Church. As is well known, the Second Church is the richest Baptist organiza- tion in the State, and it has the handsomest pastor. Dr. Boyd, in addition to being a popu- lar preacher, is the possessor of rare personal attractions. He is of slight figure, delicate features, genial smile, and most winning manners. He is about thirty-five, and the collation of bach- elor literatafe puklished in last Thursday's PosT-DIsPATCH show to be still unmar- ried, but not exactly f free. Dr. Boyd’s congregation is bon toch, and trambers some of tke richest citizens of St. Louis. It bas been gaid that the lucky Pustt long been the object of envy and jealov and his friends claim that the present war upon him is the result of a disposition on the part of envious enemies to pull him down. Dr, Boyd himself alleges thas he is the victim of a combination organized to break him down. He ts warmly supported by bis congregation, and he stated to a Post-Dis- PATCH reporter that, at the present, he was acting under the advice ot his t@#nstees. His flock insist that he sha!l neither @polog nor seek to extenuate his eond@uct. A BAPTIST EDITOR INTERVIEWED. A reporten of the Post-D1I-PaTCm called, this morning, on Rev. Dr. D. R. Ferguson, editor of the Central Baptist. Dr. Ferguson was very emphatic in the declaration that Dr. had greatly sinned against the Baptist and that his conduct demanded an immediate and am pie apology or explanation, Said the reverend editor: ‘‘Dr. occupies the most un nvi: bie position. is not only convicted of nanortbodox conduct, but of downright contradiction of statements, not to use «a harsherterm, In the case of Dr. Eliot, who was allowed to take communion, he has given conflicting accounts. He stuted to Dr. Snyder that he didinvite Dr. Eliot to partake, and he sjated in the Central Baptist office that he did n@ invite him. Dr. Eliot, in a letter to the Chri, tian Register, says he was invited to partake.’ ‘‘What are you going to do about it?’’ in- quire -d the reporter. ‘Ot course we can do nothing beyond re- fusing fellowship to the Second Baptist Chureb. It Dr. Boyd utterly refuses to put himself right before the church, he will ve re- fused representation in the State Association, whic h meets in the fall ‘Istherea way ta expel the chureh?’’ ‘*There is no way except to deciaro that his tenchings are heterodox, and retuse him fellowship in other churches. Ofcourse he ean continue to hold bis own church and con regation if they see fit to support him?’’ s Dr. Boyd's course approved by his conereyation?*’ «I believe the majority of his church mem- bers are with him, but there are many who are displeased and do not hesitate to censure him.’’ Dr. Ferguson was quite certain that there was no truth in the story that otber ministers were jealous of Dr. Boyd. Dr. Boyd had @ rich corgregation, but the Third Baptist Church was said to ve equally rich. Dr. Boyd had many friends. He was the most ates + man he ever saw, und hada poows ar power ¢ attracting other peopleto him. His 206s conduct, however, had put him in very t odor with Baptists, and he had lost many ¢ his friends. The reporter also called on MR. NATHAN COLE, who is one of the most prominent members of Dr. Boyd’s church, and asked him if he could not give a statement that would throw further light on the subject. ‘*I was not here,’’ Mr. poe ‘‘when the Eliot matter took and I know nothing about itexcept what I have heard.’ **But have you pot formed an opinion?*’ Here Mr. Cole looked impatient, and sald he was opposed to having the subject bandied about in the newspapers. ‘*But since it has already got into the news- papers, is it not better that there should be & correct statement of it?’’ ‘*‘I don’t know anything about it. Go abead and say whatever you have a mind to.

Dr. PREETORIUS acknowledges and con. sents to the entire correctness of our inter- view by a truly eloquent silence. nomen Cuar.es P. JOHNSON is spoken of as ool Director in place of Mr. Richeson, resigned. The Seventeenth Ward could not do better. There is but one step from the School Board to the Senate. THERE are specks of war all around the religious horizon in the neighborhood of St. Louis. The Baptist brethren are profound- ly agitated over the alleged heterodoxy of Rev. Boyd, and things are far from lovely in the Catholic camp. Ture school census taken by the police ought to have been accurate, yet there are hundreds of families who were never visited by the officers charged with the duty of en- umeration. The police reports may be within ten thousand of being complete and exhaustive, but they are at least that much short. The oe. have to hit upon another plan | corgect returns. Refer. Boyd's letter is good as far goes, but he does not touch the meat of the controversy. His intelligence and honesty of conviction do net warrant the suspicion that he is avoiding the issue. But he should not stop at a mere denial. What his church and the public expect is a de- fensive statement—a definition of his pecul- iar pe¢ sition, fortified by reason and argu- neat. Dr. Boyd cannot afford to be con- tent with a mere denial. He must not ignore the real merits of the question. THE capital-moving idiots are hard to please. They agree in only one thing. Patriotism, health, religion, wealth, con- ‘venience, justice and geography demand the removal of the capital from Washing- ton. Each idiot has his favorite spot, and each his objections to every other spot. St. uis is too hot, Cincinnati too smoky, (Louisville has too much whisky, New York is too corrupt, and Chicago smells bad. When the capital-moving idiots and all the other idiots of this generation are dead and forgotten thecapital of the country will still Washington, D.C.

You did not dare to print one word of that speech, not because it was too weak,but because it was too strong for you. GOVERNOR PHELPS has no lack of back- bone. When judge and jury have con- aned a murderer, and the hangman is iy, the Governor does not consider it his nce to cheat the gallows by a com- ation. He evidently believes that, as the Executive of the State, it is his duty to ecute the Jaws, not to defeat them. In » case of Davidson, hanged at Warrens- on erday, he showed himself to be of ferve, for it must be conceded it reqhired ‘nerve to refuse a commu- tatr | Mie face of a petition signed by _ 4,200 ditizens beseeching leniency. His re- fusal to commute the sentence of Wieners, in whose behalf the most determined pop- iar efforts and appeals were made, is an- other instance of firmness.

The farmers of our country will probably be satisfied. | THERE are now two prisoners in the “@ Louis jail who will enter the popular ple of emotional insanity. These are Reeves, the would-be, and Erb, the actual wife- murderer. In the case of the first there seems to be room for the plea, but this is by no means certain, and the State should see to it that the question of the prisoner’s sanity is tested by the severest rules. Hu- manity, of course, requires that no person without amind should be punished. Yet it would be better for humanity if the murderous lunatic were hanged, instead of being allowed a freedom that permits him to again indulge his mania for blood. For Erb the insane dodge wil, not do. He slew nis wife ina cruel, cow- ardly and deliberate manner. His conduct after his arrest was so guarded and crafty as to preclude the idea of a mental delu- sion. His act was a cold-blooded murder. It lacks even the semblance of extenuation. If he does not adorn a gallows, it will be because the jury is incompetent. THE YELLOW FEVER. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. There is no reason for alarm, but every reason for prompt action and prudence. The yellow fever has actually broken out in Memphis, and our telegraphic reports already indicate a very bad beginning. The local authorities should not hesitate one minute to adopt measures of precau- tion. Mayor Overstolz has a great duty, which we trust he will perform with sagacity and decision. THE WEEKLY POST-DISPATCH. From the day of the establishment of the PostT-DIsSPATCH and its recognition as the organ of Democracy in this city and State, we have been continually in receipt of most flattering and gratifying requests to pub- lish a weekly paper for the thousands of country readers who wanted it. As our press facilities, however, did not permit us to publish a paper equal in size to those al- ‘ready published, and as we were unwilling to publish a paper in any way inferior to the best, we were unable to respond to these very acceptable invitations. Our increase in circulation and business during the past six months has been of such a character as to compel us to buy a& new press, and within a month we expect to have a double four-cylinder press, double the size and capacity of our present one. This will not only enable us to publish an eight-page paper on Saturdays, and when- ever the press of matter requires it, but it will give us an opportunity of publishing the only kind of a weekly we are willing to send out—one larger and betterin every way thanany other weekly paper published in the West. The WEEKLY PosT-DISPATCH will be a quarto or eight-page paper, the pages and columns being the same size as those of the present daily. It will be the largest paper published St. compared with the weekly Globe-Democrat in Louis, and and Republican will contain one-third more space, fifty per cent more news, and ten times as much sense. It will be sold atthe same price, to-wit, $1 25 per annunf in ad- vance, and we confidently predict for it a circulation. In a few days we hope to be able to fix the date of its first appear- ance, and to give more complete particu- lars. GOLDEN WORDS. When the Legislature of New Jersey asked Thomas Jefferson to accept a third term of the Presidency, pledging him the electoral vote of that State, in addition to others al- ready pledged, the author of the Declara- tion of Independence wrote as follows: If some termination to the services of the Chief Magistrate be not fixed by the Constitu- tion or supplied by practice, his office, nomi- nally for years, will, in fact, become for life, and history shows how easily that degenerates intoaninheritaice. Believing that a repre- sentative government, responsible at short pe- riods of election, is that which produces the greatest sum of happiness to mankind, I feel it a duty todo no act which shall essentially impair that principle and I should unwilling- ly be the person who, disregarding the sound precedent set by an illustrious predecessor. should furnish the first erample of prolonga- tion heyond the second term of office. REV. DR. ripe AND HIS ACCUsS- The Rev. Dr. Boyd is esteemed as a thor- oughly conscientious pastor, an accomplished gentleman, and aman of resolute character. But we believe he would have exercised a wise discretion had he been more explicit in the letter which he yesterday addressed to the PosT-DISPATCH. The letteris manly. It is true. It is also defiant, we might say pugna- cious, and certainly shows that the reverend gentleman is not afraid to uncover his con- tempt for his clerical co-laborers in the Baptist vineyard. But it may be seriously suggested that Dr. Boyd has committed an error in declining to answer the charges so broadly preferred against him. Many people whose opinions demand his respect will not be satisfied with his assumption of responsibility. It is true thatthe Baptist Church is essentially demo- cratic. It has no elders, no bishops, and no dioceses. To use a colloquialism, each con- gregation stands on its own bottoms save in the acceptance of certain dogmas. Each congregation may regulate its own code of government. For instance, any Bap- tist congregation may permit or prohibit danc- ing by its members by the vote of a simple majority of these members. But in strictly doctrinal matters, such as close communion, it is doubtful-if any Baptist can make a new departure without putting himself beyond the pale of the Baptist Church. The doctrine of close communion is fortified, and that infer- entially. by only one brief passage in the Bi- ble. Nevertheless itis a doctrine to which the Baptists cling with sectarian zeal, and from which no departure 1s allowed. The latitudinarianism of Dr. Boyd is certainly defensible upon broad Christian principles, but whether it is equally defensi- ble upon strictly Baptist ground is another question. If itis, Dr.Boyd ought to state his BO eet km She Saale i oe ee - ™ aietin " cal brethren, he ought to do so. © It is not aldne, however. with a violation of doctrinal religion that Dr. Boyd is charged. varication, misstatements im In fact the Central Baptist, ifits laffuage is to be construed -according tothe ordinary definitions of En- glish words, ditgetly charges him with eva- sion and, by the-«étrongest inference, with falsehood. Dr. Boyd cannot afford to content himself with a mere defiance andan expres- sion of contempt for his accusers. The arraignment of Dr. Boyd for the of- fense of co-worship with the Jews is another matter. As long as he is backed by his own congregation the pastor of the Second Baptist Church can afford te pursue the cven tenor ef his way, unruffied by the clamor of those who hold up their hands in holy horror because the first verse of the hymn, ‘‘ Nearer, My God, to Thee,’’ was omitted. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. New York Star (Dem.): The irrepressible ‘*Gil’’ Haven never figured to any great extent ‘‘at the battle’s front,’’ but his mouth is full ot gunpowder, and it goes off like a mildewed old firelock. Wasbington Post (Dem.): Senator Windom is said to be the unfortunate man whom Conkling has decided to support in case a great scramble for the nomination should prevent Grant from putting in his claim. If we could instruct radi- cal delegations, our enthusiastic support ot Windom could be confidently relied on. Memphis Avalanche (Dem.): The Montgomery Advertiser and Mail protests against the idea that any one man is necessary for the life and success ofthe great Democracy. Thurman, Hendricks, Bayard and hosts of others will stir the popular hearts and arouse as great en- thusiasm as Mr. Tilden, and the administra- tion of either of them would be equally credit- able and honorable. Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution (Dem.): The Hon. Gummy Blair lifts bimself above the silence that has peen bis escort for six weeks past, and assertsinthe most violent manner that the Democrats in Congress are unfit to lead the party. Astbe Hon. Gummy is outofa job at present, perhaps he could be prevailed on to sail in and lead the Democratic party. In this connection we feel authorized to offer the Hon. Gum. seven dollars a month and the range oteleven soup-houses if he will take charge at once and defeat Z. Chandler and bis myrmidons. N. Y. Mail (Rep.): The Democratic party has been driven by its Southern masters, by force of circumstances, and by lack of harmony on all other issues, to accept as its sole doctrine the old Calhoun dogma of Staterights. Itis divided on the currency question, on the tariff question and on all other questions save that which we have mentioned. So it has taken up the identical heresies that edu- cated the South into rebellion and that were supposed to have been killed when the rebel- lion was crushed. All thereis of the Demo- cratic party as a wationai organization to-day, is its devotion to a tneory of the Government that was utterly exploded by Webster, so far as argument could do it, and that was very nearly the ruin of the section that had been led astray by it. Philadelphia Times (Ind.): It is given out that Secretary Sherman, whois no holiday sol- dier in politics, means to assume the command of the Republican forcesin ths great campaign about to begin in Ohio. This is not surprising, for Sherman is one ot the few available candi- dates for the Presidency, and his fate asa Presidential aspirant is in a measure bound up in the election of the man whom he has numi- nated for Governor. If Foster is elected bya good round majority, Sherman will be second only to Grantin the pools for the struggle of 1880; if Foster is defeated, he will take his place in the fleld instead of asafavorite. The best thing he could have donein furtherance of his ambition would have been to make him- self his own candidate for Governor; the best thing that remains possible to him at this stage of the contest is the election of Foster. Kansas City Times (Dem.): By the free coinage of gold and silver, the use of treasury notes as a paper currency, the great producing classes, South and West, may free themselves fromthe Shylocks, bankers, bondholders and the cor- rupt use of the Treasury of the United States, that is now acting in combination with them, and conkscating all the surplus piofits ot production in the agri- cultural States, South and West. There is aunity of incerest and a unity of principle in the people of the great producing States South and West. and without unity of action in us, with the powers that are combined and consolidated against them in the East to live off of our labor, we must continue to pay trib- ute to the consumers and non-producers of the East. In the presence of this vital issue, party names amount to nothing. What we want is unity of action. ae — PUBLIC OPINION. Reply to Dr. Boyd—The Charges Against Him Reasserted. St. Lovuts, July 10, 1879. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: From your issue of yesterday I see that Dr. Boyd characterizes certain publications con- cerning himself as base and ingenious fabrica- tions. I presume he refers, partially at least, to an editorial in the Central Baptist of this week, only a part of which you repub- lished. As _ proprietor of that paper, I beg leave to say that I hold myself respensible for its editorial utteranees. Hence, if Dr. Boyd refers to the above men- tioned editorial, in his charge of base and in- genious fabrication, I stand ready to support, by the legal testimony of myself and others, all statements made initregirding Dr. Boyd on which an issue of veracity is raised. Especi- ally am I ready to present affidavits, if necessary,in support of the fact that Dr. Boyd denied having invited Dr. Eliot to partake of the Lord’s Supper with the Second Baptist Church. If Dr. Boyd refers tothe statements of Drs. Eliot, Snyder and Lofton, and Revs. Wester and. ‘Armstrong, as contained in the before-mentioned editorial of the Central Baptist, I submit that the word of those geatlemen is considered as good in this city and elsewhere as that of Dr. Boyd. Let all issues be fairly and squarely made and met. There is no necessity for violent and discourteous language. It is fair and just that Dr. Boyd should say what publications he refers to in his charge of fabrication, and I hereby respectfully ask him to specify them. Respectfully, WM. FERGUSON. Another View About Dr. Boyd—His Course Applauded. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: St. Lours, July 10. The tempest raging about the head of Dr. Boyd will make one 4&8 firm believer inthe transmigration of souls. Certainly the same soul that inspited its pos- sessor to thank God that he was not like other men, inspired the anathema hurled at Dr. Boyd through the last number of the Central Baptist. Dr. Boyd and his congregation were naked. Jews clothed them. Dr. Boyd showed his gratitude. The Central Baptist, doubtless defining gratitude as ‘‘a lively sense of favors to come,’’ makes a virulent attack upon Dr. Boyd for being grateful for past favors. The deep religious feeling of the Central Baptist writer was shocked, too, that Ur. Boyd should have been gratefultoa Jew. Can bigotrv go further? Was not the Jew created by the same God asthe self-righteous anathematizer of Dr. Boyd? I have seen somewhere that the mission of the Christ whom the Central Baptist worships so devoully was ‘‘peace on earth, good will to men.’’ as a piece of much needed information.

HILLERTON, GUNNISON CO., COL., June 29.— Some one has said very truly, and certainly quite poetically, that if Colorado could be transplanted it would furnish an excellent pic- nic grounds for Paradise. -:Sitting at the win- dow of my cabin this noonlit Sunday I agree with the author of the quoted saying. The scenery of Gunnison county is perfectly mag- nificent. Touched with the golden tints of the zenitn sun, the crags and peaks that girdle ‘this beantiful park present an appearance too grand for mere pen description, and away be- yond the possibilities of the artistic brush. The filigree of ight and shadow that traces the mountains is an intricacy of nature-work that glows and darkens in labyrinthine intervals, the delicate lines being broken here and there byariftinthe moun- tain-side through which the rugged shadows sbow in ragged prominence, with an occasional wall rising thousands of teet above its compan- ion sentinels, standing guard atthe entrance to some grand canyon and frowning down in mingled brilliancy and blackness upon the grandeur of the scenery below it. Willow Creek runs along the golden tinge of sunlight, laugh- ing ite way to the waters to whichit is trivu- tary ; the little town lies lazilyin its mountaln- nest as if waiting for its month-old pinions to grow strong enough to allow it to soarinto the empyrean of metropolitanism, while the sloping fields and wide-spreading valley beiow vie with the mineral-wombed mountains in richness of beauty and magnifi- cence of coloring. On all sides are scenes of the most lavish magnificence, andif your correspondent heg erred on the side of hyperbole it must be at- tributed to his presence in a place and country where the scenery inspires one with the wildest and mest romantic ideas, and floods the mind with thoughts and words that find expression only in language that seems to adapt itself to the magnitude of the inspiration. Accustomed to grand mountain scenery, with all the generous beauty and sublimity that surrounds it, I have never (and ‘‘hardly ever’’ is barred in this connection) seen anything to equal the re- sources of the Gunnison in the number and the variety of its golden spots or the extraordina- ry splendor of its cloud-embattled mountain walls. It is an excellent school for the imag- ination, andif it does not turn out a few native poets it will be because the Sierras were better favored intellectually in the possession of the author of the ‘‘Songs of the Sun-lands.’’ THE GUNNISON COUNTRY, until very recently, was only a sort of an El Dorado tradition among California and Color- 2d0 miners. Some adventurous spirits, in the early years of '59 and ’60, penetrated the whole Rocky Mountain region, now known as the San Juan Mining Country, and which may be said to embrace the Gunnison. Coming across from California, through the dry plains ot Arizona, and risking their lives in the ven- ture, they discovered the richness of South- western Colorado, andin as far as layin their power, after having assured themselves of theirown claims, disseminated the informa- tion in al) directions. The inaccessibility of the country, the depri- vations and dangers to be undergone in reach- ing it, and the few who were willing to under- take the journey for the possibility of not ob- tuining any remuneration for their trouble, all conspired to leave the region comparatively unworked until about 1873, when Capt. John Moss, the well known interpreter, and one of the discoverers of the country, took a party down to the southern portion ot San Juan, and located Parrot Citv, in the vicinity of the fa- mous placer mines ofthe district. Their suc- cess attracted others, until,fin 1876, the San Juan tever was at its full height. Thousands were packing up and going, and thousands who had not the means to go cursed their luck and staid at nome. It was about the time your correspondent first heard of the Gunnison. AN OLD MINER NAMED STUBBS, wholivedinarude but on Cherry Creek, to- wards the sunken end ot Denver City, while out with a camping party, for whom he played cook, used totell mostanarvelous tales of this new land of silver and gold. Every summe: himself and his father-in-law hitched up their teams and went over the Cottoawood road to look after the holes they had beyond Stubbs had any number of mines and offered the writ- er, in 1876, an interest if he would roll up his him and his father-in-law. But the writer, having no confidence in mining regions, until their actual worth was really established, and hay- ing heard but little of the Gunnison, declined the offer with thanks. Here 1 am to-day, however, sorry that ldeclined Stubbs’ offer in the long ago, and endeavoring to heal the heart-ache that has ensued with the knowl- edge thatin this rich and teeming vailey there is weulth enough for all. GUNNISON’S MINERAL WEALTH. Gunnison is the largest county in tne State. It is 100 miles in extent from north to south and 150 milesin width. Its mineral wealth is presumed to be tarin excess of that of any county in Colorado. As the new carbonate field it is just begin- ning to attract attention, and the influx of thousands of prospectors from Leadville and other portions of the State gives promise that its wondertul riches wil) not*long remain hid- den. ltis the only county in the State in which paying gold placers exist. , GULCH MINING FOR GOLD has been successfully carried on for a number of years in Taylor and Union Parks, Washing- ton Gulch and other localities. The silver min- eral belt commences On or near the head waters of the Arkansas River, and takes a south west- erly course. Wien it reaches the center of the Eik Mountains, it extends to the south and northwest, and covers an area of fifty miles in width, extending diagonally all through the county, a section of the same belt that extends from Boulder to La Plata. The true fissure veins of this locality, at the head of Spring River and throughout the Eik Mountains, are at- tracting the uttention of capitalists and prac- tical miners. While requiring heavy expendi- ture of capitaland years of patient industry and perseverance to develop them, they ars wore lasting and permanent than the richer carbonate and placer deposits in which we are all now anxious to secure in- terests and which are attracting the present rush. One of the most important elements of rich- ness in Gunnison county is the EXTENSIVE COAL FIELDS, betn lignite and anthracite. Many unin- formed persons do not believeinthe existehce of anthracite coal west ot Penn- svivania, therefore we will refer to authority. Dr. Hayden, in his report for 1874, savs: ‘‘In the east the lignite coal is found near the base of sandstones, while the anthracite coal of the west, in the Gunnison country, occurs 2,000 feet higher. The seam is about four feet thick.’’ It would be incalcu- lable for smelting purposes. An analysis of five different specimens of the anthracite coal, made by Prof. Mullet, in the same report,gives the result in carbon,highest,91.9U; lowest, 74. The report goes onto say: ‘*rhe analysis given above shows a decided advantage over the lignite found in other parts of the terri- tory, and their occurrencé inthe midst of so many deposits of galena, nearly all of which is probably silver-bearing, will probably, infche future, have a decided and imporiant bearing upon the ining operations that maybe car- ried on m this region.’’ Extensive beds of this coal are foundin the immediate vicinity of rich silver-hbearing lodes, and even in some of them tke veips are found to overtop rich mineral veins, andin which the mineral and coal can be brought out frem the same tun- nel. HILLERTON, the cumpin which I am writing this letter, is the newest and liveliest tewnin the State, is situated in the extreme eastern portion of Gunnison County, and at the foot of the great continental divide, upon the western slope. Hillerton is located in Taylor Park, a broad valley on Willow Creek, and comprises three hundred and twenty acres ot ground gently sloping toward the north. From its location it makes a — much andwhich is sup- posed to be so perfectly carried out that any rolein the whole repertoire of the company can be taken by a substitute at a moment’s notice? One of the disappointed ,sizgning him- self ‘*Belgravia,’’ wrote tothe Standard, ex- pressing himself strongly uponthe collapse of the performance and referring in scornful terms to the attack of ‘‘nerves’’ which had so suddenly seized the fair Sarah. This was too much tor Dona Sol’s equanimity, and in to- day’s Standard she gives battle in a letter, ot which the following ts a translation: SARAH’S ANSWER. To the Editor of the Standard: Sir—l ama littis astonished that you have given publicity to the letter of ‘‘Belgravia’’ without first having informed yourself ot the truth of the case. That letter has much pained me. Laflirmto you, sir, that I warned Mr. Meyer at1llo’clock on Saturday. Up to ll o’clock I hoped to be able to act. But the youniting of blood recurred with much severity at 11 o’clock and I wascompelled to relinquish my desire. Lregretthat Mr. Meyer did not send and have my sickness verified. This is not the custom in Frauce, Bat it is also not customary to throw any doubts on my too sickly state of health. It has occurred to people to complain of it, but not to blame me forit. The English public, which has so much good will for me, ought not to be- lieve that I bave been wanting in the respect and acknowledgement thatloweit. As for my ‘‘nerves,’’ as ‘‘ Belgravia’’ expresses himself, I never felt them so much as whenlI read his letter. Ibeg that you will have the extreme courtesy to give hospitality to my letter, and receive the assurance of my best sentiments. SARAH BERNHARDT. The Mr. Meyer, unfortunate man—to whom the letter refers—is the agent ot the company here, and that portion of the British public which is interested in the matter will, I am sure, transfer its wratn from the fragile and adorable poitrinaire to his shoulders with the utmost readiness and alacrity. You may well believe that Sarah has fired the heart and caused to rollin fine frenzy the eye of the topical poet. Hereis the effusion of an ‘‘exuberant enthusiast’’ in Punch: TO SARAH, Mistress of Hearts and Arts, all metin you! The Pieturesque, informed by Soul of Pas- sion! Say, dost thou feed on milk and honey-dew, Draining from goblets deep of classic fush- ion Champagne and nectar, shandy-gaff sublime, Dashed with a pungent smack otf eau-de- Marah, Seductive Sarah ' Aspasia, Sappho, circe of the time? **Muse?’’ All Mnemosyne’s bright brood in one!

Theidolof the hour could fill a large album with the prose and poetry which has been poured forth by enthusiastic Lon- don, SARAH’S SOIREES DRAMATIQUES. The fact is that never in the whole ot her ca- reer has the leading lady of the Comedie Fran- caise worked so bard (and been so well re- warded) as during her stay in London. ‘‘Gag- ner l’argent’’ is a sacred saying in France,and it is not forgotten in expatriation. What with her duties at the theater and her $500 sourees dramatiques in such inclement Weather as still continues to drown and press London, it stands to that her powers should fail andthen. The evening before the memorable fiasco at the Gafety I believe she had a soiree dramatique on hand, and could not therefore fee] able to present Mistress Clarkson in ‘‘L’- Etrangere’’ at2 o'clock next day and Dona Solin ‘‘Hernani’’ the same evening. The soi- rees dramatiques ot Sarah Bernhardt have been quite a feature ofthis season. She has given performances at Mrs. Brassey’s, Mrs. Borth- wick’s, Mrs. Schuster’s, Lord Wilton’s, Mrs. Hegan Kennard’s, Mrs. Ralli’s and many_other houses of the wealthy and fashionable. [From the London World. ] Mile. Sarah Bernhardt bas fallen considerbly in public estimation during the last week. She behaved rather rudely and sillily at the Man- sion House dejeuner; she declined to finish her performance at a housein Eaton Place, where she was fulfilling a paid engagement, alleging as the reason that she was not sufficiently ap- plauded; and, finally, she disappointed a iarge audience which had assembled on Saturday morning at the Gaiety, by sending down,about an hour before the time for raising the curtain, to say she could notact. That dejeuner at the Mansion House seems to have been a bad busi- ness altogether. In the first place,as a ‘‘feed,’’ it is described as atrocious, meagre and stinted. Thenthe French people were disap- pointed at not being received in the Kgyptian Ha)! instead of the Lone Parlor, and Miss Bern- hardt complained that the Lord Mavor was without bis wig, which, she asserted, he wore constantly when in Paris. One of the company, M. Thiron, loudly protested that it was an in- dignity to receive the troupe of the comedie Francaise in a room in which there was a bust of Wellington. Miss Bernhardt is not wholly ignorant of the English tongue, At the end of one or two speeches she clapped her hands vehementiy,and screamed out; ‘‘All-rai-ght!’’ COOL READING, Such as Comes from Ashland, Wisconsin— Trout by Day and Blankets by Night. While the thermometer in St. Louis is climb- ing up to par, the following letter from the well-known secretary of the St. Louis Gun Clubtoafriendin this city will be read with interest by the stay-at-home club.

The only trouble apprehended by Saline county farmers at present is that they will not have cribs, barns, sheds and such other places of storage as will be needed to save the corn crop.

Fulton Enterprise: Immigration is the need of the hour, and we must have it. Too much idle land in the country, and we must do sone- thing to get people here. Let our population be increased to 50,000. Mr. Finley, a farmer of Dade County, was robbed on the bighway by a ruffian on Friday last. The tellow came out ofthe brush at the roadside and grabbed Finiey’s horse by the bridle, drew a bead on him with a pistol, and forced him to hand over tlie sum ot $1,000. The City Council of Mexico have refused to grant dramshop licenses, and ail the drug- gists except one have signed an agreement not to sell liquer in less quantities than a gallon.

A discovery of coul has been made atthe chalk banks, two miles east of Cape Girardeau. They bavecut down about ten feet into this bed, and the coal seems to get haraer as they get deeper. The coal which they take out burns very well but leaves no cinders, only white ashes. They have been using it in the engine which they use there to draw water fromthe shatt. The coal, when first taken out, has a slick, oily appearance, De Soto Messenger: Harvest has commenced in earnest, and @ jarge part of the wheat in this county has been cut this week. Tne straw i8 short, but the berry is p‘ump andthe heads well filled, and, altogether, the crop will be fully an average one. Early planted corn is looking well since the late rains, and we find that many farmers are plowing up their onts, which failed on account of late sowing and drought, and planting corn, anda if the season should continue favorable they will yet make a good crop. One day last week, whilst Mr. M. C. Mosler, who resides in Washington county, was en- gaged in cutting wheat, his dog went intoa clump of weeds and bushes and soon com- menced howling. Mr. M. went to where the dog was and found him lying onthe groan and near him @ large snake which was killed. The reptile proved to be arattlesnake with fitteen rattles. The dog died in a few minutes, and an examination disclosed the fact that he had been struck bythe snake’s fangsin the forehead between the eyes. The county officials in Ripley and Reynolds counties seem to be having trouble. The County Judyes of Reynolds are anxious to get their county out of debt, and for that purpose went beyond the limits of the law in fixing the rate of taxation. In Ripley it seems that the Treasurer and the Collector were both re- elected to their offices last fall. Neither of them gave new bond or took the oath at the proper time last spring. The County Court declared the Treasurer’s oOflice vacant and ap- pointed the Treasurer, Mr. A. J. Ponder. Amineralogist named Hoskins started from Mr. M. Sebastian’s, in Madison county, «tew days ago, to examine the various mineral de- posits in Wayne county, and has not returned. “ — ee, ee aitiaieeee + ie! eee o » * i a ra, MSs 0 along the street gi, * Y fA _- 2 - os .

[From the New York Sun.} To the Editor of the Sun—Str: Like nearly all the rest of mankind, you assume without question that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Deelaration of Independence. But how weak is the evidence of bis claim. If his life had been shortened only three years there would have been no proof whatever that he was the author of that unequaled production; for not till he had passed bis eightieth year did he venture to say, ‘‘I drew it.’’ In the early days of the republic there were many who believed that he did not write it: but for reasons which will presently appear the real author was unknown. Six months before independence was de- clared an anonvmous pamphiet was publish- ed, entitled *‘Common Sense.’’ Its success was unprecedented. The copyright was as- signed to the colonics by the author, and not until several editions were issued wasit ac- credited to Thomas Paine. In a literary point of view it was one the finest pro- ductions in the English language. But the author was not an aspirant for literary fame; bis sole aim was the achievement of American independence. Paine wasthe bosom friend of Franklin. They were both very secretive men, and Franklin, who had induced Painé to come to America, knew that he could trust him. Franklin was a member of the committee to drafta declaration. The task was assigned to Jefferson, and in a very few days it was com- pleted. : Now this is the way I conecive it was done: Franklin handed to Jefferson a draft already prepared by Paine, and assured him that he could trust the writer never to lay claim to its authorship. What could Jefferson do but use it? It was far superior In style to arything he could produce. So with a few verbal changes he reported it, and it waa adopted by the Congress after striking out several Dassages more eloquent than any that remain, as for im- stance, one about the slave trade. The adoption of this declaration placed Jef- ferson in an embarrassing position. Not dar- ing to say outright that he was its author, be studiously evaded that point whenever it be- came necessary to allude to the subject. But at last, when Franklin had been dead thirty- three years and Paine fourteen years, Jeffer- son ventured to claim what no one then @isput- ed. It would never have done for him te . name the real author, and who could be harmed, he doubtless thought, by taking the credit to himeelf?

Mrs. Sterling, His Victim, Appears in Court. Several Witnesses Testify for the Prosecution, Recounting the Story of the Ghastly Crime. The one feature of the day in the Criminal Court is the case of William O. Smith, charged with assault to kill, in cutting the throat of Mrs. A. N. Sterling, in a Locust street boarding house, on the 25th of last April. The case and all ofits hidden intricacies have attracted more attention than any murder case in a number of years, and swhen the doorsot the Crim- inal Court were thrown open at 10 o’clock this morning, a large crowd werein wajying. they thronged into the room like bees intoa hive, and took possession of the reserved seats for witnesses and jurymen, only to be driven back by the marshals in attendance. By 10:30 o’clock every seat wastaken and the atmosphere of the court-room with the thermometer at 95 degrees was little short of stifling. The Prisoner. William O. Smith came into the prisoner’s dock under the escort of Deputv Marshal Ver- million and took a chair with all of his old sang froid and bravado. He glanced around the room boldly, and, recognizing several casual acquaintances in the crowd, bowed and smiled as good- naturedly asif he wasin a ball-room instead ot ina dock awaitinga trial which will un- doubtedly result in a ten years’ sentence. Smith bas greatly improvedin personal ap- pearance since his last arraignment. He has submitted his heavy bushy beard to the mer- cies of the Jail barber, and now sports only a heavy, bushy black mustache. He is neatly attired in a suit of black coat and pants, white vest, and on the bosom of his white shirt glittered a flashy pin. With a‘straw hat be fanned bimself furiously,‘ and all in all was the coolest looking man in the court-room. ‘*‘What do you think of my case?’’ he queried to a PoOSsT-DISPATCH reporter just before court opened. ‘‘Pretty tough, is it not?’’ was the answer question, and Smith re- plied, in all nonchalance, ‘‘Not at all. This case willamount to but little. prosecution is all wind and nothing else, They are making a great deal of noise, but when it comes to the real test there will be but very littie established orproven. I have also subpmnaed Mrs. Sterling, and I have pested my attorneys, so that they will make it warm for her.’’ Mrs. Sterling. The object of Smith’s murderous assault, Mrs. A. N. Sterling, put in an appear- ance with her husband at an early bour. Shehas fully recovered from the ter- rible throat thrust, but either the publicity of the matter or the great heat had caused a pal- lor to settle upon her face that was strangely in variance with its generai bue. She stole but one glance at the prisoner during the day, and there was a world of pity in that glance which spoke volumes, The publicity which the case has gained has told heavily upon her, and but for her hus- band, Who is the avenging Nemesis in this You see the Po) case, the affair would doubtless be dropped | trom the docket without coming to a trial. Presenting the Case. The counsel representing the respective prin- cipals are strong, Messrs. Joy and Cline ap- pearing for the prosecution and F. D. Turner and J. N. Hoorbeeck, tne latter of lilinois, for the derense. The jury in the. case, consisting of George L. Schmidt, Cor- nelius Sullivan, F. Ww. Stiegenmeyer, A. N, Wiley, Lawrence Dalton, _ railroad circles, but there is not a ~y when we got near the door sh~ turned to eand said: ‘Hereis the knife he struck me with. I did not —— what he might do, and I managed get it out of his hand after a™ stabbed me.’ I put the knife in my pocket and began an ex- umination of her wounds. I tound them, roperly speaking, three in number. One had severed the lobe of the left ear, the other had gone down a depth of two inches to the left of the wind-pipe, while the — entered to the right of the wind-pipe and sevV- ered the thyral cartilage of the larynxof the wind-pipe. I sewed up the wounds and as Mrs. Sterling expressed a desire ~~ Dr. Hodgen I dispatched a messenger for im.’ The witness entered into a nator descrip- tion of the last or third wound, which, sum- marized in his.opinion, would destroy the sonorousness of the voice during Hite. The knife had passed within a quarter of an inch of the jugular vein, which, if sever- ed, would have caused almost instant death. There was but little blood lost by Mrs.Sterling. No tmportant blood vessels were severed and her wounds were attended to too quickly,to al- low of hemorrhage setting in. Cros#-examined: ‘‘I never remember of hav- ing met either of the parties when they entered the hall, —, Sterling passed back towards Mrs. Locke’s door, but dia not rap.’ At this juncture a recess wus taken by the court of one hour, until 2 o’clock. Afternoon Proceedings. The cross-examination ot Wr. Hopkins re- sumed by Mr. Turner. ‘*I saw the difficulty from the time the par- ties entered the house. I did not see Smith draw the knife from his pocket, nor did I see him nave a knife in his hand. The first I saw of the knife was when she banded it to me up stairs, with the explanation that she took it from Smith in the scuiie on the floor. Those wounds were not made ac- cidentally nor unintentionally, for the direc- tion thatthe wounds extended made it an im- possibility. Smith, atthe time of the scuffle and cutting, was greatiy excited, but I never noticed any attempt at escape on his part. The condition of Mrs. Sterling at the present time is such that she cau now talk, although the _ wind- thoroughly healed. pipe wound is not cannot swear that Smith stabbed Mrs. Ster- ling, as I did not see the knifein his hands or the blows struck, and can only relate the cir- cunistances as they transpired.’’ HARRY DELANEY was the next witness, wiuo testified as follows to the affair of April 25th: ‘‘Il was acquainted with the prisoner before the day of the cutting, but hada never met Mrs. Sterling be- fore. On that day I heard a_ noise in the hall of my boarding-house, and going out, found Mrs. Sterling and him (Smith) lying on the fioor scuffling. I helped Dr. Hopkins puil Smith into the par- lor, and held Smith there 7 moment. I did not see Smith stab Mr. Sterling, but when his hold was loosened from her ~ eae I saw the blood follow. Hopkins took Mrs. Sterling up stairs and when the offieer came mith asked to see her. took him up Stairs, and as soon as Mrs. Sterling suw him she oried, ‘Arrest that man and take him away.’ She afterwards wrote on a card that she wished him urrested and held until she could hear from her friends. In loos- ening Smith’s hold we were compelled to drag both him and Mrs. Sterling from the floor.’’ The defense will endeavor to show either that Mrs. Sterling was endeavoring to commit suicide at the time she sustained her wounds, and that Smith was trying to pre- vent ber trom taking her own life. Mrs. Sterling willtake the stand some time this afternoon, and tel the story ot her wrongs own way. The case will greater part of to-morrow before being brought to a close. RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION. - —_— in ~~ No Official Notification of it Yet Received in St. Louis. -_— — Interviews with Leading Railroad Men on the Subject. The reported consolidation of the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern and Wabash Railroads is not yet positively confirmed. There must, however, be a ground forthe rumor. The matter has excited a vast amount of comment here in railroad man who will admit that he has received any official information of the change. This is certainly very remarkable, and can only be accounted for on the ground that rail- | roads are managed by people who generally Moses Ely, | August Flichman, H. H. G. Sinith, Fredevick | T. Lee, Franklin D. Bull, John Lyons and Pat- rick L. Harrington, took their chairs at 11:10 o’ciock, and the case was called. The indictment, which set forth the nature and extent of Smith’s crime under two charges, one of murderous assault aad the other wounding with intent to do great bodilv barm, was read by Judge Cline on behalf of the prosecution, who informed the jury that tney would have to consider Lut the first count, us no attempt would be inade to establish the second. Judge Cline went on to state the case by saying that the prison- er, who had beenin the employ of Mrs. Ster- ling at her lilinois farm, had been discharved for incompetency, and cume to St. Louis. As- keep themselves very much in the back- ground. A reporter of the PosT-DISPATCH has calied on several ef the officials connected with the two roads referred to, but nothing definite or satisfactory could be gained from them. MR. BRADLEY, who has charge of the St. Louis end of the Wabash, was somewhat skeptical. He had not received any intormation concerning the | consolidation except through the newspapers. certaining that Mrs. Sterling was inthe city on | the 25th ot last April,be sought her out on Olive street near Twentieth street, her stated that he wished to talk over their past business transactions. The lady refused and Smith catcbing herby the urm drew a large knife and threatened to stab her tothe heartifshe made a movement to escape or cried out. He then forced herto walk to his room on locust street, No. 1118. On the way no policeman was met, and the woman was ulraid to cry out to the citizens. On reaching the house Mrs, Sterling refused to enter, and then, dragging her into the hallway, Smith twice in the throat, and would have killed her but for the interterence of some of the guests. The Testimony. The case was begun forthe prosecution by MRS. ELIZABETH CUMMINGS being called tothe stand. She testified as fol- 1Ows: , never knew the defendant versonally, but saw him going to and from his meals at Mrs. Locke’s. Lremember the day that Mrs. Sterling was stabbed.

On the cross-cxaminpation the w itness stated that when Mrs. Sterling sat down onthe door- step, S&ying she would not go to Smith’s room, Smith caught her pyrthearms and drzgged her forcibly into the hallway. She never knew what had transpired between Smith and Mrs. Ster!ing and did not see any kuife in Smith’s hand. The second witness to take the stand was GEORGE E. BRAMBLE, who testified: On the 25th of last April I re- member seeing Mrs. Sterling in Missouri Park. She entered the park from Thir- teenth street and passed through ‘towards the east. She was accompanied by a man whom I recognized as the prisoner. He was forcing her through the park at a more than usual gait, and 1 got out of their way. I heard him sav one word, and that was, ‘‘I’ll murder you before I get through with you.’’ On the cross-cxamination, the wit- ness got very adly mixed up by Mr. Turner, and injured the case toa slight extent by his answers. He created a fund of amusement for the crowd. At the conclusion of Bramble’s rambling re- marks, Dr. William Yopkins was called. DR.

Gray, who was arrested last Monday night for black- mailing, on the complaint of Edward Swine- ford, gave the hecessary bond of $300 last night, signed by ten of the leading citizens of Belleville, among whom are Russell Hinkley, the banker, and Dr. Perryman.

W hiie in jail he expressed is as his intention to commence !egal proceedings against Swineford for damages and assault to killas soonas released. It was so late last night when lhe filedthe bond that no steps could be taken in the matter until to-day.

H., July 10.—Buzzell, the murderer of Miss Hanson, was hanged a few minutes past 11 o’clock this morning. He died in nineteen minutes without a struggle. LAST NIGHT. Buzzell passed last night in company with Chaplain Holman, giving the most of his time to religious discussions He arose about half past 4 and made his toilet in a careful manner, after which he had breakfast and passed the remaining time in quiet conversation with vis- itors. At a few minutes before 11 Buzzell’s arms were pinioned and he was LED TOTHE SUAFFOLD. He walked with perfect composure, though with blanched face and staring eyes. His lips moved constantly as he stood upon the drop, and the phrases were heard: ‘‘The Lord be with me. This is hard—hard. This is not like Jesus.’’ The Sheriff quickly ad- justed the black cap and the ropes, and soon THE. DROP FELL and the unfortunate man’s neck was bro«en. His remains will be sent to Brookfield. Buzzell, in answer to questions put by the Sheriff, denied the murder, and was non-committal, when asked if he procured the murder or knew of the guilty one.

An Unknown Man Found Drowned in the Slough—A Tramp Mangled—City Attorney Canby’s Resignation—Items. About 5 o’clock this morning Isaac Foval, the driver of Bridge car No. 2, discovereda body floating in the slough south of Dyke ave- nue, near the Southeastern Freight Depot. With the assistance of some men it was brought to the shore. The body is that of a man about sixty years of age, five feet seven or eight inches in height, wore a knit jacket, dark hickory shirt, brown jeans pants and vest. Onthe bank near the place the body was discovered a carpet sack anda much worn black slouch hat were found. Though hundreds viewed the body this morn- ing it was not identified. A number of per- sons saw him near the Relay Depot yesterday. Coroner Bader was notified by the police and will hold an inquest late this afternoon. Ufficer Morgan yesterday arrested two boys named John Boyce and Alex. Frye for swim- ming inthe slough. ‘Squire Grancy fined the lads $3 and costs each. The boys’ friends from St. Louis paid the fines and the lads were released. Thetelegraph operator at Relay Depot re- ceived a telegram aboutll o’clock last night from the conductor of the I. and St. L. freight train No. 10, then at Nomeoki, a place about ten miles from East St. Louis, stating that a man had been seriously injured, and or- dering him to be prepared for his reception. Half an hour afterwards the train arrived carrying the wounded man, who was deposited ut the depot without any further instructions. Mayor Joyce and the depot officials expressed themselves much displeased with that way of bringing paupers and wounded tothe city to be cared tor. From a companion of the wounded man it was learried that his name was Frederick Griff, a German, about thirty-five yeags of age, trom Indian Territory, en route for Minnesota. About 10 o’clock last night the two were sleeping on & flat car on ae side track, between Nomeokianda Mitchell Station when he was suddenly awakened by a bumping noise. As he opened his eyes he saw Griff tail between the draw-heads of the car on which he was sleeping and the one which struck it, and then fall to the ground, when tie wheels passed over him. At the depot this inorning it was ascertained that Griff’s ris wht leg between the knee and the body and the rigit arm were broken, beside this he sustained spinal and sev eral internal injuries which may rove fatal. ’Squire Noton, Supervisor of the oor, accompanied the man to Bellevilie, where he will be properly cared for. The father of one of the boys arrested for stealing potatoes from negro Berry’s patch, near the gas works, arrived this morning, and will take all the boysto their homes near Chi- cago, on this evening’s Chicago and Alton train. Mayor Joyce received the following commu- nication yesterday: Tothbe Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of East St. Louis: GENTLEMEN:—Whiile I fuliy and gratefally appreciate the favor you have conterred upon me in appointing meto the position of City Attorney, and respect the efforts you have manifested toward economy tor the interest of the city, Iregret to state that, owing to the fact that the litigation of the city occupies so of my time as to materially in- terfere with a proper degree of attention to private business, I will be unable lon; ger to serve You as the city’ s attorney for the “com- pensation allowed, and eccordingly hereby tender my resignation, to tuke effect trom and Respectfully, B.
