He says that the Pathfinder could not have remained in the air so long, three days being the limit he puts. He believes his father and Mr. Burr to be in some of the Wisconsin forests, dead, if this is the Pathfinder. He does not think they were drowned, but that they have perished some- where in the woods, lie seeins to entertain no hope whatever of his father’s return, and is waiting anxieusly for turther dispatches from Milwaukee, waich will identify the balloon. — —— —ä— Details of Saturday’s Discovery. [Special to the Chicago Times. | MILWAUKEE, October 11.—A tremendous sensation was created here this morning by the report that Mr. Albert Fiebrantz, of the Mu- waukee Chamber ot Commerce, had found the ruins ofa vig balloon on his farm, five miles north of this city, on the Green Bay road. Immediately there wes a hurry and scurry among newspaper reporters, and an army of them started tor the scene of Mr. Fiebrantz’ discovery. In the meantime Mr. Fiebrantz’ sons, Albert and John, had loaded the stuange monster on to awagon and start- ed tor this city. Arriving nere, the muss of canvas, cords and ropes was veigbed, and was then taken to a vacant lot near Mr. Fiebrantz’ city residence, No. 519 net street, and there the reportorial inspec- tion was made. The balloon weighed one hun- area and seven pounds, ard was minus its basket. Examination showed that the basket ropes had been cut close up to the neck of the balloon. The ropes had not been worn off, but had evidently been cut with very sharp knife, as the ends showed that unmistakably. The netting, ropes and canvas had been ail bunched together in the stuff to the wagon and had be- come so knotted and packed together that it was with great difficulty that the folds of the canvas could be parted and spread out, es- lally as astench was constantly emitting rom the oily mass of cloép, rendering it sick- 1 * ening work to stand over and handle it. When, however, the spreading out rocess was par- tially accomplished, it waeseen that the val- loon was almost a mass of +hreds, and that a correct idea of its original sis would be a diffi- cult thing to arrive at. One piece of the can. vas, that seemed to be intact its original leugth, was about forty or fifty fect long—the exact length being im- ossible to determine, as the cloth could not he straightened out, owing to its gummy and sticky condition, The valve at the neck of the balloon was perfect and in good working order, and was ten and one-half inches in di- ameter; composed of a frame-work of pie: wood stained a dirk color, and a mouth-piece of some tough skin, THE NETTING. on the balloon was mostly of white cotton cord three sixtcenths otaninch in diameter, and the ropes were abouta quarter of an inch in diameter. The cloth wasa thin, rotten cotton stuff, saturated with oil, and the balloon was of butone thickness of it. It was so rotten that it could not be handled at all without tear- ing. The elastics on the valves were ef white and red and black striped clastic of the com- mon sort. The work of spreading out the stink- ing muss Was greut, hut the reporters were earn- estintbe labor, for there certainly seemed to be no question that the fates bad favored this locality with the sensation of finding the Wise balloon. Mass aiter mass the oily iolds were lifted and spread out, andthe areaofthe va cant lot was soon pretty well covered with the wrecked balloon. Suddenly a lifted fold dis played bright red and yellow stripes of paint, and the general exclamation was, Now we have the name, the Pathfinder!“ But death could not have been sol great a Gisappoint- ment just then. a name or a letter The wanderer was evidently ever, the balioon was pretty well spread . and showed up at least torty five or fifty icet in height, and was bit undoubtedly to carry about two persons. Not tinding any trace of the name, and alsofindine that the material of the balloon was cotton instead. ot silk,torced the reporters to the sorrowful conclusion that the big find was not, after all, the Wise Dal- loon. After being thoroughly satistiedon that point, the Sunday Times reporter began interviewing the persons who discovered the balloon, and learned thut last evening about 7:30 o’clock Mr. Albert Fiebrantz, together with his sons Jobnand Albert, William Mauer, Charles Shad luck, and Charles Hucbig, were driving from town out to Mr. Fiebrantz’ farm, five miles north of Milwankee on the Green Bay road. Just as the party ap- uproached Fiebrantz place they san large balloon drifting toward them from the direction ot Lake Michigan. The balloon sailed overthem, and was evidently nearing the earth, although itwas so dark that only the outlines of the thing could be made out. It sailed by, and the tem was whipped upto a fast gaitin order to follow the ballon and dis- cover where itcame down. It sailed over the fields of the farm, and all hands gave chase afterit. Suddenly it seemed to collapse and fallquickly, and immediately afterward the discoverers were surrounding the balioon where it had fallen in a field used fora pasture. The finders were at first of the opinion that they bad captured the Wise balloon, but con cluded that it would be as well to report the Ciscovery this morning as to raise any varticu lar excitement last nicht. The balloon is evidently not the Wfse bal loon. It is, however, a balloon that has been used some neronaut in making ascensions, und bus seen much service, forthe canvas i- terribly old and rotten LATER. \ dispatch from Waukesha states that a bal loon sscension wasto have been mile ther lust evening, but that the aeronuaut, suflicientty inflate his balloon weight, had let the air ship of But whetherthe balloon found brantz is the same or not has not yet been de termined, A dispatch trom St. nameless. ‘ “5 | -- failing to Louis received late to night states that the balloon found near here! believed by the makers of the Pathfinder to be the one Wise and Burr went up in, as the ce scription of itis perfect.

A Decision in the Suit of the Columbia Life vs, the Life Association of America, — Judgment Rendered Against the Latter Corporation for $1,099,200. —ä — — l Full Text of Judge Thayer's Opinion—Its Probable Effect on the Life Association, The long-pending suit ot the reeeiver of the Columbia Life Insurance Company agu inst the Life Association of Amer- ica and various individual defendants wes decided by Judge Thayer in the Circuit Court to-day. It is a case that in- volves an immense sum of money,and probably the existence of the defendant insurance com- pany.

The general opinion is that this decision will comypel the Life Association to wind up its business. That corporation may, however, appeal. But right here a difficulty comes in. A bond would have to be furnished be- fore an appeal could be taken, and as the amount involved is 80 large it would not probably be fixed at less than $2,000,000, Whetherthe Life Associa- tion canturnish abondto the satisfaction of the Court is a doubtiul question.

The stock thus surrendered was there- upon canceled and retired. there were other acts of the two corpora. tions covering a period of about three months, leadirg up to and culminating in the final retirement of nine-tenths of the capital steck of the Columbia Insurance Com- pany, but the main offense committed by the cefendant corporation (if it be an offense sub- jecting it to a legal liability) grows out of tne withcrawalofthe securities orthe retirement ofthe stock and canceilation of the draft in the manner betore stated. CF ITS AGENCY IN THESE TRANSACTIONS therecan be no reasonable doubt, and no is- sue was raised in this respect ut the trial. The Life Association at the outset furnished its draft to Mr. Davis with express understanding (te contract November 23, 1875) that he would use the same in obtaining possession of assets of the Columbia Lite Insurance Compa- ny and that the draft should be substituted in their place. llaving obtained possession of such securi- ties, through the formality of a purchase nade with the association's draft, Mr. Davis jmmediately used the securities thus obtained in the purchase of stock of the Columbia Life Insurance Company to the extent of 9,673 shares, and the stock thus acquired wus at once trensterred to the association. I have no doubt thateach of these steps were taken in persuance of a pre-arranged plan between the contracting parties. The evidenee at this trial fully satisfied my ming thatthe Life Association never contem- } lated the cash paymeut of the drait furnished to Mr. Davis on December 10, 1875. lam fully dersunded that the managers of the company intended, from the commencement of the nego- tiutions, to extinguish the draft by the retire- ment of the stock of the Columbia Life Insur ance Company atterthe draft had been used forthe temporary purpose of purchasing the securities. And m this connection I may also add, in fustice to the Manageis ot the Life Association, that they unquestionably believed until after the purchase of the stock had been consum- mated, that the tinancial condition of the Co- lumbia Insurance Company was such as to justify the retirement otf the stock. The question to be solved in this is primarily whetner the withdrawal of the secnrities in the first instance, and the subsequent appropriation of the draft by the Lite Associa- tion and retirement of the stock, were, under the circumstances of thejcase, lawfulacts. Ot tlhe association’s connection with both trans- actions, and its purpose througbout to absorb the business ot the Celumbia Lite by firet ac- guiring the major portion thereof, in the man- ner above indicated, there can be no reason- ble doubt. If. the dealings porations had ended with the pur- chase of the stock, even supposing the purchase to have been consummated, as it infact was consummated, bythe withdrawal of securities and the substitatien of the asso- ciation’s drait, [am not prepared to say that the association would nave incarred any lin- bility that would have been cuforcedin this form @ procedure. So long as the Columbia Lite Insurance Com- pany held the draft of the association for an amount equivalentto the securities that had Leen withcrawn and the association remained solvent, no one was damaged, though the purchase may have been beyond the power ot the corporation. Eventhough the securities delivered to Mr. Davis be regarded as a trust fund representing an amount unpaid on the capital stock und not as general assests of the corporation, subject to sale and transter uc cording tothe pieasure of the board of direc- tors; stillse long asthe corporation hold a full equivalent for these securities its creditoré sus- teined no loss. Even it the purchase of the stock was ultra vires of the associa- tion (a proposition by the way whicn has been strenueéusiv denied by counsel on both sides of the case) the association could not, as it seems, have suecessfully resisted payment oi the draft, especially after the securities had been withdrawn aad consumed inthe purchase of stock, and the association held such stock. Such at least would seem to be the tenor of the later cases havink reference to the ultra vires acts of a corporation. But the transaction did purchase of the stock. For the purpose of canceling the dratt ol association 900, 000 held by the Columbia as part ot its assets, stock of the Columbia Life to an equiv- alent umount was surrendered to the company andretired. The petition avers that at this date the Coiumbia Life was, and for a long time had n, MUPELESSLY INSOLVENT. I have not deemed it necessary to determine whether, under the general power given to life insurance companies to amend their charters between not end with the came citer the the two cor- | for | by the fifteenth section of the act of 1869, an amendment wight lawfully be made authorizing u reduction of the capital stock ana partial distribution of the assets of such corporations amony their stockholders. Nor have ] deemeu it necessary to determine whether by the amending act of March 28, 1874, the reinsurance reserve upon policies should be calculated upon a 6 or 4% Der cent basis, forthe purpose of retiring stock, conceding such power to retire stock to bs vesicd inthe stockholders as claimed by th+ defendants, Imsy add inthis connection that inasmuch us tle act of March 28,1871, pronibits the pay ment of any dividend or distribution of any surplus to policy-holders, or of any prote~to stockLolcers except las ful interest, untess the company be possessed of assets elan in “umount to its liabiliti:-s, including a reserve on all its polieics computed upon the American table of mortality, with interest at tie rae of 4% per cent, if would seem more r-asonable to Loldthat in computing the policy res*rve ior the purpose of retiving st 1c » power toset part a fund torthe redemption of stock that is largely in excess of the surplus which the company imm at tue time possess. Resolutions of this character are necess wily invalid and furnis: no warrant forthe with drawal of assets from the treasury ot the cor- poration, ow tor the appropriation of the same bv the stockbolders oi the company. Considerable time wus consuined on the trial of the canse in the hearing ct testimony touching the financial condition ot the Columbia Lite Insur- ance Company at the time the stockholders ot that corporation undertook the reduction of the capital stock. Iunve e tmined the testi mony on this subject with more tian ordinary care, with a view to ies bearing on the guess tion otthe legality of the retirement olf stock, and liam satisfied from the evidence, and uc- cordingiv find, that tie retirement of stock und cancelation of tue 11 tie us: ocietion mractically the Columbia Life Insurance Company insolvent. According to the most careful analysis of th: testimony on this subject which I huve been uble to mukethe liavilities of the company including the necessary reserve tund) exéeed ed its assets Ly 5750, 0 % lipmediately after the appropriation of the draft by the Association undthe cancellation of the stock. Intorming this estimate I have assumed the value of the company's real estate to be equal to its original net cost (thatis to say $997,327) and the value of the insurance bhuding to be $747,602. I have also assumed the value of its other as- sets to be equal to the various ledger balances; und in the estimate of liabilities 1 have as sumed six per cent as the prover basis for com- puting the reserve value ot policies. I have uso excluded from the listo! lhadbilities the «cxeese of premium notes over resefves, a mounting to some 860,000. Whenitis borne in mind that manyof the ledger balances representing assets of the com- pany, such as umount, due from ugents, bonds und stocks.“ ‘*sus- pense account,’ ** bills receivable,’ und ‘‘furniture account, were net intrinsi- cally worth the various amounts borne in the books. Itisevident, Ithink, tnatthe forevo- ing finding tarvelv underestimates the actunl lm pulrment Oi the assets ol tLe company. At ullevents the error in the calculation, if any there be, is favorable to the defendants, and in view of allthe testimony it is safe to assert that the corporation in question was in no con dition to lawtully retire any portion of its stock utthe time such retirement was atteinpted and in fact effected. Iuns muchas regard the retirement of the stock andthe cancellation of th: draft wrongful act committed without any lawtul nzuthority, and an execution of a purpose en- tertaired from the beginning by the Life As- sociation to obtain control or the affairs of the ( olumbia Life Insurance Company, and absor’ its business, or at least effect a practical merger of the business of the two cor- porations, the next question to be considered is Whether the Lile Association can be held responsibie in damages for the tortious act in question, and, if so, whut is the measure of damage? is i THE EVIDENCE in the case satisfies me, and ITacccordingly find thatthe managers of the associution, at the outset, entertained no purpose to wrong the creditors or policy-bolders ot the Columbia In- surance Companv. They unquestionably be- lieved thata merger of the business of the two companies under one manage ment would benetit the policy-holders and creditors of each company, und untilthe purchase ofthestock had been consuin- meted. They were probably deceived into the belief that the financial cance lation of the Col- uinbia was prosperous and would fully justity the collection of the draft by the retirement of stock, without prejudice to cre litors or policy- bolders. The true revelation to to the condition ot the Columbia purchase had been eff scted; and the managers of the association prob ibly then felt compelled to carry outthe origiual scheme of retiring the stock as the only means of saving the fortunes of their Own Company. Se much at least must be conceded under the proofs in this case. But the liability of the as- sociation for a tortious act of the Character now under consideration does not depend in any degree npon the motives which led to the commission ef the act. If the act was wrongful and was intentionally committed and occasioned damage to the plaintiff, the liability of the wrong-doerre- mains unaltered, even though it acted under the belief thatit had the right to do what wasin fact done. Thus it appears thatthe rightto recover in this case must depend upon other conditions thanthe motives of the Association orits man agers. It is familiar law that corporations have no rightto violate their charters, and that the charters of corporations never confer upon such bodies the right to commit vrongtul acts. Acts of this character, when committed by @such bodies, are necessarily ultra vires. zut it is quite well established that corporations in the prosecution ot business enterprises have the capacity like natural persous to do wrong, and thut thev may be held responsible in damages hke natural persons for wrongs actually com- mitted by the corporation itself or by its direc. tion, even when ,enguged in enterprises wholly outside of the limits of their chartered powers. In the case of the New Yorkand New Haven Railroad vs. Schuyler, 34 New York, 49 and 50,the Court used the tollowing emphatic language: ‘*Another important legal proposition is so clear upon principle that nothing but contusion can flow from its Giscussion. A corporation is liable tothe same extent, and under the same circumstances, as a natural person for the con- sequences of its wrongful acts, and will be held to respond in acivil action at the suit of the inſured party. for every grade and disruption et torcibie, malicious or negiigent tort or wrong it commits, however toreign to its na ture or beyond its granted powers the wrong ful transaction or act mey be. In the cause of Bissell ve. the Michigan South- ern Railroad, 22 New York, 258(avery familiar case), the defendant was heid liable tor the consequences of a negligent act, committed while the cerporation, without a shadow of authority under its charter, was engaged in the transaction of business in atoreign State. In the case last cited a majoyity of the judges held thatif the action had been based upon a violation of eontract by the corporation, there could have been no recovery Owing to the ultra vires character of the undertaking, out nope of them expressed any doubt of the right of the plaintiff to recover damages by an action in form deliclo, grounded upon the sort actually committed by the corporacion whilst prosecuting a business unautherized by its cbarter. The same doctrine relative to the la- bility of corporations for wrong- ful acts, done by themselves or by their direc- tion, however much in excess of their powers such acts may be, has also been approved by the best text writers on the subject, and is now fully established. It would seem, therefore, to be a necessary conclusion, under the law as declared in the foregoing cases, that the Life Association is liabie for whatever damage the creditors and policy-holders of the Columbia Life Insurance Company have, sustained by reason of the waste and dispersion of its assets under the guise of retiring stock. The draft for 5900, 000 formed a part of the as- sets of the insolvent corporation. It was with- drawn from tke treasury of the corporation without jawful authority, because the corpor- ation bad no surplus applicable to the retire- ment of stock, even under the provisions of the amended charter, at the time the board of directors attempted by resolution to svt apart such curplus. lawtul In my judgment it is only necessary to prove the receiptand appropriation of the draft by the Life Association, in order- to estabiish its liability in this action; but if any further proof ofits active agency in the accomplish- ment of the wrongfil act were needed. such proctis to be found in the present case. It would be impossible to concrive of a series ot transactions more directly churgeable to a cor- perstion than the entire series of act: which culuinatedin the retirement of the stock in question and cancellation of the dratt. THE &CHEME never could have been consummated withvut corporate action on the part of the Life Ag cation The association contracted with Mr. Davis to substitute the draft in lieu of other securities ot the Columbia Lite, which were to be vsed in the purchese of stock for the Asso. ciation. Through its own agents appointed by resolution at the board of directors to hold, manage and vote the stock thus acquired ‘'as the Association riche from tim to time direct,’’ the Association practiciliy ereared whatever colorable authority is to be wund in the charter or resolutions of the Columbia Live Insuixnece Company tortbe retirement of the stock, and finally the Associa‘ion wrong fully received and converte | the Gruft, whilst it belonged to and formed part oi the assets ofthe Columbia Lite Insurance Com- pany. Thus, without any reference to the inquiry whether there was a formal conspiracy be- tween the Association and others to waste and appropriate the assets of the Columbia Life Jneurance Company inthe manner charged in the complaint, the Association must be hel! guilty ot having directly committed such acts, and is responsible in its corporate capacity for ail tbe direct consequences of the wrong. In compliance with tnese views it is evident thatthe value of the draft must be regarded as the measure of the association's liability. The Columbia Life Insurance Company was wrong tuhy deprived of this asset, and the value ol the same must be regarded asthe measure of ies damage. As no proot was tendered as to the contrary the value of the draft must be as- sumed to be the amount unpeid thereon When this suit was origin: 1 y instituted sev eral individuals were joined with the Life Association as parties defendant. The action has been dismissed! as to some of the indiv:daal defendants, including Mr. Geo. J. Davis, leav- ing the Court to determine the liability ot those individuals who still remain parties to the ac- tion. It is a manifest proposition that there can be no joint recovery against the Association and the individual detendants, unless a proper foundation for such recovery has been bad in the nor unless the ground of recovery against all the defendants be thesame. That is to say, the individual defendants cannot be held liabl« on the ground that, whilst acting as directors of the Columbia Life Insurance Company, they were guilty of a breach of trust, and the asso- ciation be heid liable on other and ‘itherent grounds. There cannot, in the nature of things, be a joint juaggiment against all the defendants unless the pleadings show that all participated in the sime wr ox. ful act and that the character of the olfenuse is the same. ‘Lhe petition in this case is singuiarly barvea of any allegations affecting the individual de- fendunts. It is not averred that they were parties to the alleged consp racy, Nor dees it appear except by inference that then were ot ficers ot the Assoctation atthattime. do fur as I havé been able to discover the liability of the Getendants in question must rest upon the single uverment that they wee elected Girectors of the Columbia Life §Jnsuranuce Company, and that while acting in that capa -- ity as directors, they yie'ded up the Associa- tion's draft in exchange for s ock. tis not charged in the complaint nor was it proven ut the tria: thatany of the defendant's reeerived any part of the assets of the Colu ubin Lite In- mnce Company inexehange fer stock by thear held. or to: tny other purpose; nor isit averred thatthe y Comimilted wiv uct in tur- therance of the alleged conspirucy; nor is it averred that tiev were joint actors with the cor poration in the accomplishment of its pur- Ose. ’ Under these circumstances Lam ofthe opin On that a joint judgment agajnst the incdivid- nal defendants and the Life Association cannot be properly entered, Without disputing the general proposition thut un „gent concerned in the doing of u wrongiul act cunnotshicid himself from lia bilitv onthe ground of such uzency—still it seems to me, the present petition fails to state a cause of action againstthe individual defend Ants, or inceed if it states a cause of action it is ot a different character than that made out ugainst the corporation defenduit. The corperation is chargeable with the receipt and wrongful conversion of proper- ty belonging to the Columbia Lite Insurance Company; the individual defendants, on the other hand, if liable at all under the allega- tions of the petition, are liable only for a fail- ure on their part to exercise proper care and control over the assets of the Columbia Lite Insurance Company whilst acting as directors of that corporation. L think the proper course will be to enter JUDGMENT IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL FENDANTS, unless the plaintiff sees fit to dismiss as to them, and such course will accordingly be pursued. In conclusion, it is only necessary to add that I lave given due attention to the question ruised touching the right of the receiver to maintain this action in his oon name, and I fird no sufficient reason to ulter the ruling nade on this question at the trial of the cause. > The receiver in whose name this action wus breught was appointed in pursuance of power conterred upon the Circuit Court by the forty-first section of the insurance uct ot March 10, 1869. It is to that act alone that we tust look to determine the powers that may iuwfally be vested in receivers ot insolv- ent insurance companies. The act provides in substance that ‘‘the court or judge may at any time alter the filing of the petition appoint ugents or receivers te tuke possession ol the property ol the company, and may upon final hearing make such orders and decrees as may be needful to suspend, restrain or prohibit the turther continuance of the bus- incss of saidcompany * * or for the dis- solution of said company and the winding up of its affairs.’’ In the case of Relfe vs. the Commercial Insurance Company (5th Mo. Ap. I. ep., 173) it was held that the power con ferred by this statute for the protection of the public wus 80 extensive that au insurance company whose capital had become impaired could not lawfully make un assignment of its property and there- by withdraw the same from administration by the ccurt wherein} preceedings against such company had been institutea by the State. The Court say ineflectinthe case last cited thatthe whole matter of the administration of the assets of insolvent insurance companies „eis relegated tothe forum of the chancellor, where there are processes and full powers adequate to evely exigency and to tie protection of all in- terests.’’ When the Superintendent of Insurance in- nugurates proceedings against corporations ot this class, and a decree bas actually been en- tered terminating the existence of the corpora- tion,the powerofthe court to vest the prop erty of such dissolved corporation in a Re ceiver, and to empower him to suein bis efticiunl capacity to recever the asscts of the deceased would seem to be necessarily es- t: blisheda by the foregoing decision. Imust accordingly pola (as at the trial) that thie Receiver has the right to sue, and that as the proper legal representative of creditors and policy holders he has the right to maintain this uction.

OLYMPIC: THEATER -Virginias POPE'S THEATER —Two Dromios. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE—Evangeline. THEATRE COMIQUE—Variety Performance. Tun balloon which our morning contem- poraries were unable to identify after two days’ notice has been identified for the ben- efit of the readers of the Post-Dispavtcu, and it is not the Pathfinder. IN answer to a certain charge, whieh necd not be more accurately specified, a dramatist by the name of Boucicault re— torts that Molicre and Shakspeare and all those other fellows stole their plays. It would be painful to believe that Shak- Spare and Moliere,if they were alive to-day, would crib from Boucicault, bat Boucicault believes it. Main, though patriotic, is thrifty. Maine, the home of Biaine and Hamlin and other stalwarts, advises the »exodust to Kansas, and as an encouragement to them to do so contributes the enormous sum of three dollars ($3) to the Kansas Freedman’s Relief Fund. This stinginess is all the more contemptible when compared with the liberality of Con- necticut, which contributed five dollars ($5). SE Tun Treasury Department is at its old work ‘of publishing „comparative state- ments,“ showing the defalcations under Democratic rule and under Repulsican rule. Even if any reliance could be placed on statements gotten up under such a motive, they would still be worthless from tite fact that the old-time Democratic defaulters were simple-minded fellows, who waited until the money was in the treasury before they stole it, while thelr Republican suc- cessors know a trick worth two of that, and, by stealing the money before it reaches the treasury, enable their party to boast of its vastly superior morality. | and ot > —— TA— HE Globe-Demecrat this morning prints u part of an interesting story about a Kansas refugee, who returned to Missis- sippi to get his wife and children and was punished by the Ku-klux, who cut off his hands and threw the bleeding members into his wife's lap. This is very good as far as it goes, but the G/obe-Democrat omits to add that his feet were sawed off, his eyes picked out, his head scalped, and his spinal column extracted and a broomstick inserted, and in this pitiable condition the victim of Southern barbarity is now begging an honest living in Kansas. What's the use of being a iar unless vou are an all- fired liar? == Wer regret to notice an attempt to create ‘sympathy at Mr. Talmage's expense in favor of a pagty of honorable and reverend Mis in England who, having failed in au attempt to make money out of a Talmage lecture, tried to beat Talmage out of the fee they had agreed to pay him for the lecture. The bilks call themselves a Young Men’s Christian Association, but we fail to see where the Christianity comes in in an attempt to dodge the payment of a just and lawful claim. They hired Talmage as a purely pecuniary venture; they would not have paid him a penny more than they agreed to if they had made a thousand dol- lars out of the venture, and when it proves a losing speculation their loss is their own lookout. The attemptto sneak out of their bargain, and then to abuse Talmage after fie refuses to be beaten out of his money, is ‘beneath contempt, and we are surprised to see reputable American papers abusing ‘Talmage about it instead of bestowing their vcensure Where it properly belongs. Tue awards for prize mules were made at the Fair on Friday, and on Saturday the recipients resumed their normal occupa- Hon of cditing the morning papers.

The blue-ribbon mule, however, ‘Democrat, undertook to prove that the bal- loon could not possibly be the Pathfinder, and this he maintained by two separate and distinct arguments; first, that the Path- finder had been proved to have descended within a hundred miles of St. Louis by the fact that no one had seen ft within a hun- dred miles of St. Louis; second, by the evidence of Wise's son-in-law and agent, Downey, who,being telegraphed to,prompt- lyresponded that he thought it was the athfinder.

The first intimation received by the read- ing public of the oft-recurring changes in the ownership of the Times-Journal in- variably comes in the shape ofa publica- tion of cards, announcements and explana- tions in our columns. As soon as these appear we begin to look for proof and evi- dence of the change in the editorial col- umns of the Zimes-Journal. It is one of the axioms of journalism that a new editor always begins his career by undertaking to reform somebody or something, and the successive changes in the editorship of the T.-J. have most beautifully demonstrated the truth of this axiom. When the man with the stiletto flashed his blade in the journalistic fray, he boldly announced his intention of increasing the population of He argued be ten mil- lions of and he was the man to it.

In his salutatory yesterday, in which the general policy of his paper is outlined, the editor calls attention to the unsatisfactory he has patron- ‘spread’ in St. nature of the free lunches ized. He says “the usual gated as a bench Louis in the few lunch houses near the Exchange of a bow] of soup, roast of beef, and pork and beans, with bread,all washed down with gin or whisky, is a monotonons This is, Wwe and unsatisfactery repast.”’ ; | fear, only too true, and the deleterious ef- | fects of a continuous Patronage of the free lunch counter are manifested by the un- varying seediness of the habitual lunch- grabber.

The whole subject must be reformed, and we sball look with intrest to discover in future issues of the T. J. the plans and suggestions of the new editor in the way of reform. The subject isso vast and momentous that we hesitate to grapple with it, but we cannot refrain from offering one suggestion, though we have little hope that it will be If the learned our esteemed contemporary will adopted. and brilliant editor 6f let the free lunches alone and try the plan of paying for his meals, he may not find the necd of rcform so pressing. INTERESTING ADMISSIONS. We have repeatedly alluded to the great advantages with which the Democrats will enter the Presidential contest and by which they have the Presidency in their own One hundred and fifty-three votes but Re- every the hands. leaving the minority in State, are as good as cast, twenty-three publicans in a necessary, with important Northern and Democrats in control of both houses of | Congress, and the absolute right to count, a ‘ight established by Republican prece- dent. It is significant that the abler anil more sagacions Republican leaders begin to Mr. Murat Hal- stead, of the Cincinnati Commercial, who is recognize their situation. the most vigorous and original thinker, as the writer, the country, well as ablest political among Republican editors of the scrupulous a partisan as he cau be, is the first to frankly admit that the Republicans though as violent and un- have no N cf of ( lecting the nert Presi- dent. In a recent interview, prominently pub- lished in the New York Tribune, he express- ed himself as follows: 0 ‘*Convress is to elect the next President, The whole extra session should be read by this lamp. They are preparing to change the rules so as to make the House a revolutionary committee. Hunton’s bill about counting electoral votes absolutely refers the Presiden- tial election to Congress in terms almost as plain as any that can be produced. Of course this 18 with a purpose. Democrats claim both houses of Congress and say, ‘You count- ed your man in, now we will count our man in: and so the will.’’ Then you don’t believe there is any chance of securing a Republican President next year!“ No; the Democrats will use Congress (provided they can secure the House, and they already have the organization) so as to leave the Republicans the alternative of sub- mitting to a technical legality—manufactured to order by the ConfedefMite Brigadier caucus —or accepting civil war. The only chance of saving the country from the completion of Confederate rule over the whole United States is for the Republicans to elect the next House. That will block the came, but we shall lose the Presidency.’’ It seems to me that the very apprehension you express lies at the bottom of the Grant movement. People say that the Confederate Democracy in Congress would not dare count Grant outif he should be elected.“ That isa mistake. Grant would be no more obstacle than John Smith.

The sec- ond sober thought will come in good time, and the thing that now seems certain will be found impossible. The common sense of the country will be against the third term, with all it implies. The Republican leaders can- not afford to abdicate now and forever in fa- vor of Grant. Not one of them, with possibly the exception of Conkling, would have the dignity ofa ward politician if he should again be President. They would be sub- merged, and never emerge from the flood, and Blaine would not be bigger and better than a fly on a bull’s horn, andhe is a man of great stature as he stands. The Rep*vlican party would be ripped up by a third term nomination. It is the ove way to do the party to death. Besides, Grant would be counted out the same as any other man. Ile is onlyasimple citizen. He would have to submit to the Congress of the United States,now the creature of a Confeder- ate comwmittee—and this very degradation can betraced to Grant’s administration. Still,he is expected to serve as a scarecrow to overpower the rebels by moral and physical fright. This is neither Republicanism nor manliness. It is childishness and mischievous. Grant’s re- ception is all right. and is no more than he deserves. Iam glad to see him get his fill of glory; but it don’t follow that the country must be tied up in a rag and presented to him as a little testimonial of our affectionate help- lessness. HOW WILL OHIO GO? If hopes and wishes decided an election, both Tom Ewing and Charles Foster would be elected by a large majority. But what- ever Democratic wishes may be, and what- ever Democratic predictions actually are, we do not think it wise to encourage to) | many hopes about the result of to-morrow’s election. On the contrary, circumstances are such that the election of Tom Ewing is hardly to be expected. The simple fact that the Republicans must carry Ohio_ this fall to kave even a prospect of success neXt year, and that a Democratic success in Ohio this year would mean both October States next —which would simply mean a walk-over for the Democratic President—is in itself a | reason for Democrats notto be too san- gume. But of all State. there are other reasons. First Ohio is At best it not a is but deubtful.

But this is a Presidential vear. The simple fact that in 1876, when Hayes carried the State over Tilden, over 110,090 more votes were actually cast tian in 1877, when the Democrats earried it, wiil show the fallacy of depending upon off years. Our opinion is that Ewing ean only be elected if the Republicans fail to bring ful) the successes in Con: and their vote. all out sidering probabilities prospects, we see no reason to change or | modify the opinion expressed some weeks that the chances are against Mr. pir alo Ewing's election, but in favor of a Demo- | cratic majority of the Legislature, which will secure the seat of Senator Thurman for six years longer.

Every State which went into the rebellion, saveonly Texas, has recently repudiated its depts. Three hundred million dollars of in- debetedness has been thus repudiated. Tie ruling elements of the South—the ‘‘property and intelligence,’’ as they like to be styied— profess to set theirregard for their States in front of alltheir patriotism. It would seem, then, that if any public pecuniary oblizations are secred to the governing Class of the South, it must be the obligations based on the honor of the States. The Northern States are the taxpaying States. New York is the greate-t taxpayer of them all. Nearly one dollar in every three put into or taken from the Treasury comes from the com- merce and the people of New York. New Eng- land and the West nake up most of the remain- der.

THE NORTH MAGNANIMOUS. The tendency throughout has toward extreme clemency and cenerosity. The reason is obvious. The Republican party and the Northern peovle wanted peace and pros perityintheSouth. They wanted the Southern people, white and black, to heal and mend, and sow and reap, and build up their waste places. Of course they wanted this. It was tor their selfish interestin every way. How could they want anything different? If the South prospered, it could beur its share of the public burdens. Ifit prospered, it could furnish a market for Northern com:nodities, If the South suffered fiom lawlessness and commo- tion, «very part of the country must feel the evil effects. The North does not want the South to commit murder or suicide. The North does not want the South torepel immigration, nor to drive outits labor, nor to harvest weeds and mildew —far, far from it. It was not good for Egypt that Phara»*h perse- cuted and drove out the chil dren of Israel, vor is the repetition of that history in our day good for the South or for us.

WHAT STATE * - * Deen made RIGHTS HMAVE DONE. Two generations since Jackson's time have seen the land strewn with wrecks by the destroying Goguias of State sovcreignty. State Rights brought on the war with Mexico, to get more territory to plant with siavery. State Rights fung down the Missouri compro- mise to spread siavery and wrung from the court the Dred Scott decision. State Rights sent the army into Kausas, aud by war, murder and outrage attempted to force Slavery upon her and upon other coming Stutes. State Rights hunted slaves in peacetul com- mubities with artillery and ragoons. State Rights dispersed Legislatures with the Army of the Nation. State Rights plundered the treasury aud pros- trated the credit of the country. State Rights scattered our ships in distant seas, stripped Northern arsenals of arms and sent them to the South,and put our armies un- der traitors who surrendered them; and all this was to 80 arrange that the Government might be easily murdered in its bed. State Rights wagéd‘the rebéliion, with its migity, murderous sacrifice of lite and treas ure. State Kights murdered Lincoln, and tried to murder bis chief officers of State. State Rights now maim and murder officials in the discharge ot their duty. State Rights since the war have perpetrated nameless, numberless horrors, making free government by majorities impossible in several States, and subjecting to worse than slavery a race which the nation and all its vitizens are bound before God and man to protect. State Rigots just of late have grasped at still higherjusurpations. When before the waror since, till recently, dured any party that the Government should be strangied and starved unless, as the price of its existence. the President would give up his duty and his oath?

Case of FEx- „Big Twelve“ An Important Pont in the Judge Jones Against the Decided by Judge Linaley. It will be remembered that when the grand jury of the Criminal Court, and of which Mr. Joseph B. McCullagh, editor of the Globe- Democrat, wus foreman, filed their report last May, there wasinserted a severe censure of Judge Wm. C. Jones, who had formerly been on the bench of the Criminal Court. Judge Jones thought he had been unjustiv treated and in June filed a suit for damazes oguinst McCullagh and his associates. The Cefendants filed a demurrer in which they sought to shield themselves by setting up thatthe report they made to the Judge was a privileged coumunication. The case wus before Judge Lindley, who, this morning, rendered his decision on the demurrer. It will be tound belowin tull, and is decitedly in favor of Judge Jones. The big twelve’’ will wow have to come to trial, and if they can’t prove their assertions against Judge Jones, they will have to pony up, Here is Judge Lindley’s Opinion: Piaintiff sues detendant for damages suf. tered by him by reason ofa libel published by defendants ina reportby them madetothe Criminal Court as members of the grand jury. It was virtually conceced on the argumentthat the substance of the publication tends to bring the plaintiff into odium aud disgrace; but the demurrer is urged on the ground that the alleged publication isa cht geo com nu nication, and that no sufficient publication is alleged. The statutory duties of the grand jury, so far as communicating the result of their examination is concerned, are eontained in nineteenth and twenticth sections of article 3 of ‘*Practice in Criminal Cases. Section 19 provides: No indictment can befound without the concurrence of at least twelve grand juror. When so found and not otherwise, the foreman of the grand jury shall certify under his hand that such indict- ment is a true bill.’’ Sec. 20. When there is not a concurrence oftwelve grand jurors in fluding an indict- ment, the foreman shall cerufy uader his hand that such indictment is not& true bill.“ The twelfth section of the chapter on ‘‘jails and jailors’”’ makes it the duty of the grand jury or a com- mittee of at least three members thereol to visit the jail,examine the condition thereot,in- quire Into the treatment of the prisoners and uake ureportthereoftothe court. 1 do not recall any other cause in whiehit is made the duty of the jury to make a report to the court. bave been referred to none by couns It would seem therefore that the finding o.

The Kennebee Journal says: Mr. Granger claims that his grandtather and Capt. Robert Kidd, he of piratical fame, were great cronies, and says that when Capt. Rebert died he left with Grundpa Granver maps, charts, etc., telling him where several lions of treasure were buried. Mr. Granger still holds those papers in his possession and without doubt the treasure tound belongs to him.

Marvy Anderson’s Manager shot by Florence MeDonald — What Mr. Norton, Miss Anderson’s Manager, Says. A dispatch from Cincinnati last night gave an account of one of the most sensational and dramatic tragedies that has oceurred tor years, and with which the name of Miss Mary Ander- has been connected—but most unvolun- tarily on her part. The facts areas follows: About four g’clock yesterday afternoon, in one of the parlors of the Barnet House, Sylves- ter M. Hickey, atrector ot the Syracuse, N. Y., Opera-bouse and advance agent for Mary Au derson in her present theatrical tour, was shot in the head by a Syracuse woman named Florence McDonald, who immediately applie! the pistol to er own head and blew out her brains. Hickey had been a former lover of Miss McDonald, and de: sired to reject ber. She was madly in love with him, and when he started on bis presenc tour she followed him trom city tocity. She be- came jealous of Mary Anderson, Lhickey hav- ing told her he loved the actress and wished to make her his wife. The maddened gir! made several attempts to obtain an interview with Bim, but failed. On one occasion she sent him a note, to which was pinned a button hole bou- quet, esking bim to grant heratearing. This missive was handed to him in a barber- shop, ana, after reading it, hescorntully tore itupandthrewitinaspittoon. This enraged the woman, and, after witnessing other evi dence of Hickey's intention to reject her, she mudeup her mind to kill nim. To-day she went to the Burnet House and sent up her card, imploring him to come and see her. He replied that he could not. She sent back word thut if he did not see her she would follow bim toc hiesgo. He then came downto the parior. A moment later apistol shot was heard, fol- lowed by two others. The first struck Hickey behinu the ear and FELLED HIM TO THE FLOOR. He began to crawl towards the doorand a second shot was sent after bim, but missed its nark. Thethirdentered the temple of the girl, producing a wound from whica she soon nfrerwards died. In her bosom was tounda bottle c flandanum and carefuliy concexted in her stocking was a bowie- knife. She teftare- quest that her body be given to a medical col- lege. Her diary is filled with expressions sowing that her love for Hickey was the absorbing thought of her life, Whileina content at Buffalo she said ‘My proud dar ling whose heart I thought no other woman could ever touch has learned to love at lust, and it is not] who have taught him. This actress has everything that heart could wish, ud he was myall. Yet she took him trom The just entrv in ber diarv was mide day. Itreuds: lie bas scorned me utter ail that Il have done tor him and he shalldie.”’ Hickey is still living, but his recovery is cdoubitul. INTERVIEW Son WITH JOHN W. NORTON, MARY AN DERSON'S MANAGER. A reporter of the P.-D. called this morning on Mr. John W. Norton, proprietor and mana- gerof the Grand Opera-house, and who, in connection with Sylvester M. Hickey, is also Mary Anderson's manager. Mr. Norton very much annoyed and indignant at the at- tempt to drag Mary Anderson’s name into the scandal, with which, as he declared, she had about as much to do as the daughtor of Gen. Grant. Mr. Norton said that Hickey was his partner and acted as business manager to Miss An ter- son during his absence here. He first heard of the tragedy last evening. when he receivéd atelegram from Dr. Hamilton Griffin, Miss Anderson's stepfather, which was very brief. Itsimply read, ‘*Hickey badly shot through the heud by a woman.“ After reading the accounts telegraphed to tjo morumg newspapers, Mr. Norton most ewphaticaliy and indignantly repelied the in- sinuation that there was any affeetion between Miss Anderson and Hickey. He repudiated the idea with the utmost scorn. ‘*Why,’’ gaid be, ‘‘she is as innocent of Mr. Hickéy's regards as she possibly can de. Asfar as Miss Anderson is concerned, she would not let him even wipe her shoes. She has pever noticed him in any way, shape or manner except as her business agent, and ex, ceptin a business way neyer exchanged half a dg n words with him. r. Norton further remarked tnat be did not know the Woman “rence McDonald, and had no idea of Mr. Bickey’s relations with ber. If he had known of it, Mr. Hickey would never have remained Miss An- derson's manager. HICKEY'’S APPBARANCE. Manager Hickey is a big, tall man, about stx feet in height, very heavily built, and with a very ruddy countenance. He wears a mustache, and is considered a flne looking man. He has a sisterin New York and a brother whoisa keeper in Sing Sing prison, besides some reia- tives in Brooklyn. He has managed Miss Anderson's business from the commencement cf the present season during the enforced Absence of Mr. Norton. Mary Anderson opened this fall on the 13th of September at Utica, New York, atthe New Opera house, and bas been upon the road ever since.
