Little Interest Taken in the Result of Their Deliberations—National Notes. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., January &.—The Na- tional Committee of the Greenback party, which meets to-day,1s poorly represented and but little interest is taken in'what will be the result of their deliberations. Influential members of the party from Maine, Iowa, Wig- consin, Ohioand Missouri are present and will control] the actions of the committee. In States where the faction is not thoroughly op- ganizea proxies are held by persons in close proximity to this city, in order that their journeys tothe Capital may be made at a small expense. The place of meeting of the National Convention is- the principal] subject of interest, andthe claims of St. Louis, Chicago and Indianapolis are being asserted, with a possibility that the choice will fallto the former. The Iowa and Wisconsin influence are in favorof St. Louis, and several members who are indifferent as to where the convention is held will no doubt cast their votes for the Future Great. Denis Ikearney is here, but is attracting little or no attention. He will address the conference, and upof his speech depends the treatment he will receive from the Nationals. The recognition of Denis Kearnev by this representative body, it is believed by some, would be hurtful to the party, as it would be deemed by the country asafarce, and the committee, desiring to stamp their proceedings with a graver to not usually characteristic of their meeting®, will not allow the overtures of the agitator to affect them. THE MISSISSIPP! SEXNATORSHIP, A telegram received here from Senator Lamar, at Jackson, Miss., says Gen. Waltham wil] be elected United States Senator to sud ceed Bruce. TIE STAR ROUTE. slackburn got his resolution through the House to-day directing the Appropriation Committee to investigate the Star Route de- ficiency mm the Post Office Department. The ring that profited by that deticiency has been laboring all the session to prevent an investigation, and ifthe committee does its duty there will be interesting developments, Men high in official position were ia the ring and lately reporters have been offered nonlll here in Washington to publish nothing againgt the ring. AFRAID OF INVESTIGATION. The Republicans in the Senate are trying Wilson, Grub and Purcell, witnesses in the Ingalls investigation, who were arrested for refusing to testify, and discharzed them. The Democrats insist that the witnesses must testify, as the action of the Republicans has aroused suspicion that they areafraid of their testimony.

Smith made a statement to the effect that he sentatelegram tothe committee saying he knew nothing about the election of Ingalls. Senator Sauisbury, Chairman of the com- mittee, favored discharging the witness upon his appearing before the committee and tes- tifiving. Senator McMillan and others objected to keeping the witness in custody, claiming no lawful summons had been served on him. @ After considerable debate the. three wit- nesses at the bar were discharged, having purged themselves of contempt. | Senator Wallace presenteda petition of Drexe) & Co.,. and others of Pennsylvania,for the withdrawal of the legal-tender quality of Treasury notes.

RERLIN, January 8.—A_ semi-ofticial news- paper, the Post, says: President Grevy’s reception tothe diplomatic representatives im Paris, New Year’s day, has given rise to con- jectures that the German Govern- ment, through preliminary inqui- ries, ascertained the intention the Freycinet Cabinet. We consider that tb supposition as well asthe idea that there were here any doubts ‘on che subject are en- irely incorrectl We rather think Prince Hohenlohes, German Am- basador to France, without asking for instructions from Berlin, expressed the belief held by the German Government that the present French Ministry will con- tinue the foreign policy of its predecessors. Such instructions weuld scarcely have been necessary since the German Gov- ernment neither had nor will have doubts on the subject as long as there are no positive reasons forthem. We know at least that a partial change in the Freneh Cabinet has been remarked here as a neces, sity of the home policy aad not as a be- ginning of a new era inthe foreign policy of France. India.

Inauguration of Gov. Long, of Massachusetts —Capital News. The Maine Legislature. AUGUSTA, ME.,January 8.—Both branches of the Legislature assembled quietly at 10 o’clock this morning. There was no compar- ison between the crowd of to-day and that of yesterday. Sentinels are stationed at the doors, and the police force is continuing under the contro] of the Sheriff and the May- or. Immediately on the opening of the Sen- ate, Senator Hobson, of Lincoln, offered the following: Ordered that a joint select committee of | three on the part of the Senate, with such as the House may join, be appointed by the Chair to investigate the charges of bribery and intimidation alleged to have been at- tempted on members of the legislature since they received their certificates, with power to send for persons and papers, and thatthe committee be instructed to com- mence their investigation to-day on adjourn- ment ofthis session and report as soon as may be.”? | This order was opposed by Senators Locke, Harris. Berrv and other Republicans on the ground that there was not even street rumor for the charge of bribery on the partof the Senate. If so, they would gladly appoint it. If members of the House had been bribed or intimidated, then the investigation sheuld begin there. Order passed. THE HOUSE. On the opening of the Housethe Speaker invoked good order and _ intimated that scenes enacted yesterday by outsiders would not be repeated. He had searcely «finished speaking when the doors opened and the win- dows were thrown up and animpatient crowd rushed in. After the people entered quiet was again restored, but at one time trouble seemed imminent. The records#of vesterday were read and showed the fact that not more than seventy-two votes were thrown for any candidate voted for. Mr. Hale announced the presence of sixty certificated members, being Republicans who, withdrew yesterday, who were ready to be qualified. They were conducted tothe Council Chamber, but Acting Gov- ernor Lamson declined to qualify them at present as he did not exactly know the extent of his power in that direction, but should inform himself. The House then quietly adjourned. The members will undoubtedly be qualified to-morrow. Mr. Sproul, of Ve azie. isamongthe number who will act with the Republicans, giving the Republicans a majority inthe popular branch should the members from the five cities be admitted. Gov.

The capi- talists interested are such men as A. D. Bul- lock and W. H. Eckert, of the Bell Telephone Company. Until models of the invention are made and it is patented, no description of the apparatus will be given to the public. A Successful Strike. Special tothe Post-Dispatch. MILWAUKEE, January 8,—The rolling mulls at Bay View, which have been partially clos- ed the past two days, are now running at full! blast.

The advance of the pay of skilled labor will, it is said, extend to all the rolling mills within the Northwestern jurisdiction,agd be uniform throughout. Bank of California. Special to the Post-Dispetch. ‘ SaN Francisco, January 8.—Rumors of the impending suspension of the Bank of Cali- fornia have been freely circulated, but are without the least foundation.

Fischof Retaliates With a Pistol—A Lively Scandal in San Francisco. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, January 8.—The publica- tion of the story concerning Fischof, De Munck and Patti, which was telegraphed to the POST-DISPATCH yesterday, so enraged Patti’s husband that he determined to revenge himself by punishing Fischof, whom he charged with giving away the story to the Chronicle, where the story first ap- peared. About 3 o’clock this afternoon De- Munck waylaid Fischof at the entrance of one of thre elevators of the Palace Hotel and com- menced an assault upon him with A SLUNG-SHOT. Fischof drew a small pistol and was about to fire upon his assailant, when some bystand- er interfered, and separated the irate pair. Subsequently, Fischof had a warrant issued for the arrest of DeMune. After at- tending to this, he went to the Chron- icle oftice and told one of the reporters he had been invited by Patti to come to her room just previous to De Munck’s as- sault upon him, but he had sent word back that he was not going to go.up stairs to be killed by AN ITALIAN ASSASSIN. Fischof also exhibited the pistol with which he defended himself. Itis notavery san- guinary-looking instrument, and there is grave room to doubt whether he would have hurt De Munck had he discharged it at him. The scandal arising from the publication of the Patti quaire] has had the effect of complete- ly swamping the concert season, and Patti to-night refused to sing. There was not $150 in the house. PATTV?’S PECCADILLOES. The Latest Depositions Taken at Leav- enworth City. LEAVENWORTH, KAS., January 7.—The depositions in the Pattt-case will not be fin- ished before the end of this week. This morning Charles Carples testified as follows: I am forty-seven years old and a merchant; reside in Leavenworth; my musical training commenced when I was seven years old; J have sung several times in New York in Italian and German operas; attended the Patti concert here: I thought at first it Was not Carlotta Patti whom I heard = be- fore: it seeined to me that when I saw her coming, her moving and her acting. that she was a little tipsy; the same remark was made all around me: the last time she came outshe was still worse; two of the troupe came to my store to get im- ported cigars, and we tatked of the con- cert; they told me not to talk of the concert, that they would be glad when she came east to leave ber; I have said she was under the influence of liquor, and I still say so; a bad cold would not, in my opinion, give a sillv cast tothe eye, ora tipsy look tothe face; my opinion asto Patti's being under the influence of Jiquor 1s based on what Il saw of her. L. C. Spangler, steward of the Planters’ House, sworn: Isaw Mme. Patti on the ev- ening of her concert bere; she put up at the Planters’ House: during the course of their supper Patti and her company drank a case of beer, one dozen bottles,and two and a balf bottles of claret;the whole party were boister- ous and acted asif they were al! under the in- fluence of liquor. Thomas H. O'Neill testified as follows: Was on the carpenter’s stage above the scen- ery at the new Opera-house on the evening of Patti’s concert: there wis no work for metodo and I remained to look en; Leould see Pattt at her table from where I was,eith- er drinking or hoiding her hand upon a ulass; as wellas I could see trom where! was, it was liquor she was drinking: the nex! morn- ing I tound a giass containing liguoron the tabie Where she sat; she acted very siliy both on the stage and bebind the scenes—like a woman not in her right mind. Samuel W bitson testified: | am a carpenter; I was on the styge at the Opera-house the night of the Patti concert; I saw mre oe brought in that I thought was liquor; I dic not smell or taste it: L saw it bronght twice or three times, and saw Madame [’atti drink it each time; I thought it was whisky and thought she drank enough to make ber drunk; I heard several men talking about her condi- tion after the concert and they a!) thought Patti was drunk; I think she was intoxiciuted. Jobn S. Nevins, another witness, testitied that he was bead waiter at tbe Planters’ House; after the concert the Patti troupe went into the dining-room and took a cold lunch, quail,maccaroni,twelve bottles of beer and three bottles of ciaret; they remained at the table eating, drinking, speech-making and giving toasts to Mme. Patti for one hour and a half; they were quite noisy; it took two gentlemen to assist Patti Into the dining-hall and to take her out of the hall it took them about two minutes; Mme. Tattl ate heartily, eating qusil, macesaroni, cold meats, cake, and by the 8 appear- ance of the bones about half a dozen quails: she also drank largely of beerand claret wine; The witness also said: Judging from her con- duct, deportment and general appearance af- ter her return fromthe concert, she was in- toxicated or under the influence of liuor: the company were very noisy during their lunch —s0 much so as to be heard all over the house, All five of the witnesses who gave their de- positions to-day, namely, Carples, Neil, Whit- son, Spangler and Nevins, testified that Patti was intoxicated.

Hew the Business is Carried on at (Spectal Dispatch to the New York Herald. 5th. ] The inforniation briefly telegraphed the Herald last night totheeffect thata whotle- sale traflic is being carried on between this aud other ports in the bodies of human be- jugs—buried with all the sanctity of Chris*ian- itv in one of Richmond’s popular cemeteries and under the protection of the laws of Vir- ginia—is fuliy conti med bya visit to Oak- weood this evening. This cemetery is situated beyond the extreme eastern boundaries of the city aud is quite extensive. The most remote portion of it 1uns down into a ravine, through whieh flows astream knowu as Stony Run Creek. Almost on the banks of this creek isa jJevel jflateau, which is the receptacle of the rewains of pearly all the colored people who die in the eastern part of the city, besides the deceased of the same race at the public char- jtable institutions. There are ce hyve three huudred graves in this particular locality,and it was on these that the ghouls plied their horrible vocation. It was known to a few as far back as eigh- teen mouths ago that the graves were being robbed oftheir dead. Aboutthattime Mr. William L. Smith, the keeperof the ceme- tery. received avery indignant letter from Surgeon Courad, of the Colorado Lunatic Asviuui, stating that the remains of a recently decessed patient of bis had been stolen from the cemetery, and adding,in proof of his statement, that the body alluded to had been recognized by one of his students, who had seen itin the dissecting room of the Meaical College of Richmond. Ona subsequent occa- sion Mr. Smith was paid a special visit by a surgeon connected with a medical institution of this citv. who madea proposes to himin effect to connive at the stealing of the dead Lodies for use inthe institution to which he was attached. This proposal Mr. Smith in- diguontiv rejected, and he reported the cir- cuMmstai ces tou the Committee of the Council on Cemeteries. The name of this surgeon Mr. Sinith refused to give at present, but he said that the interview took place about nine months ago and that no notice of it had yet been taken by the proper authorities. Not more than eight or ten bodies had been taken. and during the heat of the summer the traflic seemed to have been abandoned. Two months azo, however, Oras soon as the cold weather set in, the resurrectionists resumed their work with unwonted activity, a due no- tification of which Was again senttothe Council Committee on Cemeteries, accom- panied by the request to appoint a guard to assist the keeper in the protection of the cem- etery from the depredations of the ghouls. Again po action was taken beyond the publi- cation of a noticein oneof the daily papers that purties were suspected of robbing the graves at Oakwood Cemetery, which had the effect of causing another temporary arrest of the traftic. Soon afterward, as no guards were provided, the ‘*‘body lifters’’ began avain, sud since then about twenty-five or thirty graves, making over forty in all, have Leen plundered of their dead. Tie Leeper pointed outto the Herald ecor- respoucdent the graves out of Which bodies had been taken. and they were easily recognizable by the sunken and disturbed condition of the mounds. The work. he explained, was cir- ried oly im «A Most systematic manner, and it Was evident that several persons were en- gavedinit. Io twonights as many as seven bodies were spirited away—four in one night aud three during the next. On Friday night last two craves were robbed, and the traces of the desecration were distinctly visible to-day. A small hole was sunkat the head of the grave. The cotiin was then burst open just over the head of the corpse. Into this hoox«s are inserted grappling the neck, and the body is drawn up through this small aperture, usu- ally leaviug the shroud or clothes in tue coflin. A woru path over which the bodies are dragged from the graves through the fence and across Stony Lun Creek was pointed out. Ata short distance, onthe opposite bank of the eveek. stands a large pine tree, to which the horses aud vebicles of the ‘*body-lifters*’ are tied, while the bodies are being exhumed.vand the wort tracks of these werealso pointed out. To-day the scene of the grave robberies was visited by a large number of indignant eiti- yens, thouch the fact of the horrible traftic is not yet generally known in the community. It is stated that the police as well as the Coun- | cil Committee on Cemeteries were cognizant of aii these facts, vet no precautions were taken to protect the dead nor to effect the ar- rest of the parties concerned in the robberies. The keeper says that a Sergeant of the Police informed him that the bodies were shipped .from Richmond by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, usuativ in kerosene oil barrels. Itappears thatthe Council Committee—of which Mr. W. J. MeDowellis chairman and Messrs. George Pearce, C. B. Lipscomb, E. I). Ketly and James Huves are members—are respousibie for the continuance of these horri- bie outrages. It was impossible for Mr. Smith, the keeper, singly to protect this large ceme- tery. and toevery appeal of his for assistance this conmmittee turned a deafear. There is a demand on the part of citizens living in the vicinity of the cemetery that an investiga- tion of these Gilicial shortcomings shall take yiace nmmediately, and that the culpabie par- ties shall be held to strict account. It is not known that any remains of white persons have been stolen, but the exposure of the robberies wili, in all probability, ruin the cemetery. —_ — =_> Republicans Against Grant. {Washington Cor. of the N. Y. Sun.j An independent Republican movement for the purpose of defeating Gen. Grant’s nomi- nation bas been started. and the details of the movement andthe names of the gentle- nien engaged therein will be made publicina few cays. The object of the new organization is to centralize in one mass all of the Republi- «an opposition to Grant in the country. John Sherman is really atthe head of the move- ment, and he hopes to be the chief beneticia- ry. The principal idea at this timeis to have it known throuvhout the country that certain vepublicans of prominence will not support Girantinthe event of his nomination fora third term. So far, George William Curtis and e\-Senstor Henderson of Missouri are the only ones who have made that announcement pub- licly. Muiat Halstead ofthe Cincinnati Com- yoeicial, Sherman’s organ, is enlisted in the movement acainst Grant. It is expected that Biaine’s adherents will help in the anti- Girant undertaking. and the Maine chieftain will eudeavorto craw to his support every anti-Grant Republican that Sherman can not capture. Gen. Henderson has been and is nective in this movement asafriend of Sher- mar. — —— Gladstone on the Telephone. ‘'Fromthe New York Times. } At amusing telephonic incident is recorded os having happened during Mr. Gl: dstone’s Jate campalening tour in Scotland. While this distinguished statesman was addressing an jmmenre audience atthe Corn Exchange in Edinburgh. the multitude who wanted to hear bim Leing out of proportion to the size of the hall, it was thought advisable to use the telephone, soas tosend the speaker’s words te another auditorium, Now, the people in the other hall, at some distance, heard quite distinctly the introduction of the speaker by Lord Rosebery, the cries of ‘‘ hear, bear,’’ the epplauet of the crowd, and the crash of the bend: then, nothing more, save from time to time av indistincbmurmur. Now and thena few broken segtences, ab arently uttered by Mr. Gladstomf. were tinguishable—tben came ouly unintelligible noise. -After the meeting was over, why the telephone would not work, eave ina disjointed kind of way, was explained. The ex- ler has a Me culiar§ affection § for hat, which | bit of head furniture always plays an important part in the _ rigat honorable gentleman’s speeches.- ‘bis bat is invariably set straight before him, brim duwar | ward, and on the top are pl hig notes, which memoranda: he shuffles with occasional - ly during the course of his speech. Unfor- tunately, the hat was planted right in front of the telephone sound-receiver. Occasionly when Mr. Gladstone would move the hat, his voice would reach the instrument and be transmitted. The moral of all this is, that if public men wish their oratory to be distribut- ed over wide areas, they must be coached as to the position of the telepbone. How mue the attitude of some modern Demosthenes might be cramped bythe necessities of talk- ing ata telephone, remains tobe seen. But ifa public speaker uses the instrument, he will nave to talk at the telephone, and toitad- dress bis most fiery eloquence, his best- rounded periods. Photographic art might now he used to advantage to show a sveaker’s gestures. As the various separate move- ments of the horse and dogare given when trotting or runving, bv means of instantan- eous photography, a series of pictures might be taken of an orator, ffom the moment of in- ertia or repose until, with arms beating the air like wind-mills, he was hurling anathe- mas On bis political foes. vV— — WINTER FASHIONS. How a Well-Dressed Woman Equins Herself. {From the New York Post. | The season being now well advanced in the fashionable world, there is a dearth of novel- ties, as there will be until the Euster sun calls for early spring styles. Fasbions intended for winter bave had time to crystallize, 60 to speak. Accordingly certain of them have as- sumed prominence others,after gaining pass- ing favor, hsve vanished from sight. This is especially true of wraps and furs, there being little deviation in the shapes and materials employed from those presented early in the season. BONNETS. In bonnets, close-titting shapes and the tur- ban, showing eitherastiff crown, trimmed with an Oriental searf, «a band of feathers or fur or asoft puff crown, with garniture of leated silk or lace, are still favorites. The ‘anchon bonnet, again revived, is popular for evening wear, because it allows of elaborate dressing of the hair. It is made of satin, ona small frame pointed atthe front,and shows little or ne crown. Bands of beaded lace are laid across the satin, anda large ribbon bow at the top ornaments the whole, which is worn With broad satin or lace ties under the chin. So-valled white evening bonnets are of cream-White or lemon-colored satin, with feathers to match, and broad Spanish lace scarfs arranged as ties. For evening wear, also,airy trifles of lace and flowers, originated by Parisian tingers and termed flower bonnets, are a passing and pretty fancy. EVENING AND RECEPTION TOLLETS. The artificers and modistes are just now largely occupied with evening toilets. ‘The balis and weddings which now follow one another in qu ick succession call forth an end- less variety of costly and elegant fabrics from manufacturers, together with new models and striking combinations from designers. Ori- ental harmony of coloring, graceful qaesigns of arabesques and palms, and rich Persian shaw! patterns are prominent features in new fabrics for evening wear. ‘These fabrics in- clude silk damasks and brocades, royal and cut velvets, velvet brocades, satin embossed witb velvet, elegant plain satins, satin bro- cades and damasks. Very vopular among the materials named are monochrome silks und satins showing devices of asingie species of fiower, as. for ipstance, roses full blown, half opened, and budded together. with leaves strewn in apparently careless but exquisitely arranged patterns over a smooth = sur- face. In satin breeades, also, flower designs in several colors abound. Many of the con- trasts of color ip toilets of silk, satin and vel- vet combined are copied directly from cele- brated pictures: atoilet lately made in Paris being a reproduction trom Hogarth, while the deep rich wine colors and blues, so fash- jionable in plain colors, are furnished by Venetian art. A very unique combination in shades of one color is afforded by a reception dress in the trousseaux of the Queen of Spain, composed of satin inthe peculiar color termed moon biue, and embossed velvet of china blue: the whole being trimmed with pearis and silver lace. Soft, fluffy damask gauzes and grenadines are modeled, in com- bination with silk, into toilets strikingly suit- ed in their lightand gay effect to young ladies. Much gathering and pleating is the predomi- pant feature in the varniture of these, as would be expected from the nature of the material employed. GARNITURE. Rich imported toilets abound in lace garni- ture, including Points de Paris, d’Alencon. d’Angletere, de Venise, and Valenciennes, and in satin bows. VDarisian corsages are cut more decollete than was the fashion earlheria the season. ‘There is, however, comparative- ly little acceptance oi this feature by Ameri- can women. The newest corsavze has the short basque shape at the hips, is laced at the Pack, and terminates there as well as at the front in long and acute points. The neck is heart-shaped or round. mad very short puffed sleeves replace shoulder straps. Standing Medicis collars of gold or silver lace tinish many of the reception dresses of the Queen of Spain. Long round trains show rows of tine pleating and square trains employ side garni- ture and full trimming at the back. FANS. The newest fans from Vienna and Paris fac- tories are smaller in size, and revivals of old fancies are mingled with new stvyies. Shell fans, again introduced and promising to become as popular as the Russia feather fans afew years ago, exhibit feather borders. In some instances they become really feuther fans with shell sticks, and are composed of beautifully shaded feathers or those of deli- cate peachblow, lemon, or light blue colors. Foroperaand other evening occasions they come also in white. Pearl and ivory sticks are seen on hand-painted and feather fans, and some of the handsomest hand-painted satin fans show borders of rare old point lace. Turkish fans of rich Persian and Cashmere stuffs are provided to match toilets in Orien- tal patt«‘ras. —_— — A Hangman’s Lecture. [London Cor. New York Tribune. | It is always difficult to say where the irre- concilable difference between English and American tastes begins and ends. That we Americans are inferior to our English cousias in delicacy of moral perception wnd in retine- ment of taste Is « proposition whieb few Britons of pure descent would dispute. But should we, for example, supply an audience of 600 people to hear a lecture on the Times (not the newspaper of that name) by the pub- lic executioner? Would Pittsburg do as much asthat? Thething did happen at Sheflicid yesterday, when Marwood spoke. He was more modest than his hearers. They, said the chairman, bad come expecting to hear an aceount of Marwood’s performances with the rope, which Marwood himself. de- clared itwas impossible for him to give. In default of these too exciting details, he dis- coursed on foreign politics,on England’s mis® sion a8 a Christianizing power, on the Irish question, on the Bible, on the Queen, and on the pending electoral coutest in Sheffield. Even with this wide choice of toptes his au- dlience were ill-content, and clamored for what the chairman euphemistically referred to as the prefessional experiences of this com- mon hangman. It is a lost opportunity. We might have learned how he tied the knot for his patientsg what his views are asto the comparative merits of the long and short drop, and whether his practical connection with the gallows has modified any previous views he may have held respecting the efficacy of eapi- tal punishment’as a deterrent from crime. But Marwood was ‘*nervous,’’ say the re- orts. Hehad tosit down. His discourse asted but seventeen minutes inall, and the Sheffield veople, who are sald to be keen in financial transactions, clamored to have their or back.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Learning that yours is the leading paper in St. Louis, Ithought you mighc do me the fa- vor, as an old friend, of allowing me, through the eolumns of your paper,to address an open letterto Gen. Grant. Feeling that you will do me the kindness. I herewith enclose it, which you may insert with the above. Yours truly, JACOB BAKER, To Gey. U. S. Grant: DKaR Sik—I take occasion inthis manner to address to vou a letter touching the feasi- bility of an International Railroad leading fromthe city of St. Louis, through Mexico, Central America anda part of South Awerica,{to a point at the head of navigation on the Amazon, where it is intercepted by the Peruvian Railroad, now built over the Andes. Having seen your name so frequently connect- ed with the Central American ship canal pro- ject, I thougbt your attention may have been particularly drawn to the great magnitude and value to the United States of Mexican, Central and South American commerce. Hence, soliciting your judgment upon the proposition and requesting an answer at your leisure, realizing the great weicht your fav- orable opinion would carry, I beg leave to submit the following considerations: Is the route practicable in thisage of engineering skillin the construction of railroads’ Whllits benefits to this country, Mexico and the Cen- tral and South American States be commen- surate with its cost? Inthe solution of the problem, please callto mind the following, which apprehend may be taken as admitted facts: Speaking in youvd numbers, we would have more than forty millions of people at either termi- nts of this great internation:l = artery. As to distances, a glance at the map will show us thatthe distance from St. Louis (I Lelieve the destined center and cipital of our countiy) to the City of Mexico, the capital of *our sister Republic, with ber nine or iten mil- fions of people, rapidly advanciug towards a hiyber plane of commercial importance, is ‘but fourteen hundred miles; and that railroad copimunication with that city is already a fixed fact. under protvess of construction, and will soon be completed by individual enter- prise and withveut national or international aid. Takingethe City of Mexico, then, as the real starting point of this international un- dei taking,we have less than fourteen hundred miles of road to build through Central Ameri- ca, parallel with—not across—the mountain ranges,to reach both the ship canal and Pana- ma Railroad: draining, as these two great works (the carnal and railroad) at no distant day will, 3,000 miles of sea-coast on both sides of Central and South America and the lower portions of Mexico. From thrs point (the ship canal and Pana- ma Railroud) thence southward and eastward, in the great enterprise, we have less ttjan 1,200 miles of road to construct to reach the head of navigation onthe Amazon, where, inter- cepted by the Peruvian and Andes Railroad, thus leaving, all told, but 2,600 miles to build south from Mexico City to accomplish these grand results. A word more as to the uttlity of such aroad: Ithink it was shown before a committee appointed by Congress in regard to South American trade, which committee met at New Orleans, that the trade of Kng- land alone with South American countries amounted to more than $25,000,000 per an- num. Of course the first step would be a survey like in the case of the Pacific Railwav, and perbaps the appointment by the United States, Mexico, Central American and South Ameri- can States, of an international committee to fix the relative portions of ex- penses to be borne by the respective governinents, and, it may be, to unite With the said governments in securing the bonds of eachto beissued forthe con- struction of the road. Again, it would not take many years or be difticult of construction, as at the northern terminus and at several points along the isth- mus, andat the Amazon. iron could be de- livered and work commenced simultane- ously. A word further: Consider the resources of these countries traversed by the road (and their resources are but half developed), the valuable woods and minerals of Mexico, the coffee, rice and other products of Costa Rica, Nicare gua, the Amazon country with her 4,- 0CO miles of navigable rivers, including tribu- turies. ber gums, her fine woods, her delici- ous tropical fruits, demanding quick and rapid transportation, and vast coffee fields, Which alone would makeSt. Louis the great coffee depot of the world, and add to its im- portance in many other respects. ‘This, to- cetberwith the inducements tothe wealthv and refined tourists of the Old World, offering to them their only opportunity of easy and rapid transit in palace cars from the tem- perate zone of the North to and through the liowery lorests of the tropics, would |make *‘a consummation devoutly to be wished,’’ In conelusion, General, hoping that you Will give this matter vour careful considera- tion, specially so if called upon to preside over the destinies of the inter-oceanic canal, where your opportunities will be peculiarly great for weighing the feasibility of the undertaking proposed, I subscribe myself Your humble friend, JACOB BAKER, — _ — —- Alabama ’s New Senator.

He is the proprietor of a large cotton factoryin Rochdale, England, in which nearly 2,000 operatives are employed. So well was he vleased with Mr. Edison’s lights that he entertains the project of illuminating his mills with them. One of Mr. Edisow’s friends told an amus- ing story last evening about an experiment of the inventor’s with electricity. Edison. he said, having seen the sparks fly in stroking a cat’s back, procured a large cat and placed it in the circuit, using one o7 its fore and one of its hind paws as electrodes. Then he tried to start an induced current by rubbing the cat’s back briskiv. It was entirely successful, and Edison, his friend said, still bears on his hands the marks that resulted from using the cat as an inductor. 2 ——E - Mrs. Hayes Becomes More Dressy. f Washington Cor. Chicago Times. ] Mrs. Hayes has certainly changed her views with regard to dress since she made her debut as *‘tirst lady of the land.’’ Then she told her friends she should always set an example af simplicity in dress; that she should wear black silk asa general thing, and when she was obliged to wear anything more dressy it should be as plain and simple as possible. She kept her resolve for atime, and at every entertainment at which she appeared her dress was plain. Butafter her being in the White House abouta year, achange was noticed. She began to wear more light evening dresses, and they were made more elab- orately, until an_ olficial, who is a great admirer of Mrs. Haves, noticed the change, and said that he was afraid Mrs. Hayes’ simple ideas were changing, for he bad noticed her an evening or two before with some very elaborate slippers on. Evidently her ideas have been fast changing, for on New Year’s she appeared in one of the most elabe- orate robes seen inalong time. It certainty seems in much better tuste for Mrs. Hayes to dress handsomely and richly than to dress like a country merchant’s wife. Her dress on New Year’s day was very becoming to her. ‘The skirt was of white satin trimmed with pearl and gold fringe. A long, square court train was covered with rosebuds, handwrought with gold thread. The corsage was V shaped, and filled in with duchess lace. The sleeves were of duchess lace, wrought with sea pearls. Her hair was dressed as usual. and caught up with a handsome filagree silver comb. On her neck she wore the cameo head of the Presiaent in diamonds. Flood Going to Europe to Enjoy His Millions. {From the san Frapcisco Argonaut, Dec. 27.) We bear that tbis individual contemplates leaving California and that he will settle in some part of Europe; that with this view he has for some time been converting bis assets into Government bonds for convenience of transfer; that such of his property as cannot Le disposed of he will convey to his son, and that the Bank of Nevada will close its doors and go into liquidation in October next, on the termination of the present articles of co- partnership with McLane. That the causes fer this action are the threatening character of the ‘‘Burke Suits,’’ which, it isnow cer- trin, must result in the conviction of the Bo- nanza firm of frauds perpetrated on their shareholders to an extent that will seriously involve the entire fortune of these men, great as they are. That Flood, looking to this con- tingency, is getting his means into a conveni- ent form tetake out of the country, and where they cannot be reached by any process from the United States Court; and that he will leave the O’Brien estate to foot the bills. We hope that the shareholders’ of the Consolidated Virginia, Cal- ifornia, and other mines that have just claims on this man for the frauds perpetrated on them, will take measures in time to prevent his carrying off his booty. _— — . * THE ‘*Cbhinese Encyclopwdia’’ has just Sern pubiiehes to meet a jong-felt want in the e eaeoean ide ante bal tee OT stm ane au said to ade ae at that ie wf * , bat yo UNFINISHE *s boot, and sk booed and soiled and things, you say, -_ d a seaman’s nec Up in the yards aloft. e it’s folly; Dut, eet et fret went to sé A woman stood on yon t With a wedding-ring on Which clung so close t e—God bless her! op ae veside my foot And =e a os d the dainty fingers, ¢ AMrnitted a buby'’s boot vyorage was over, I TNE nat. think you, four A erave the daisies be tt empty an A ood this beside the cr jittie boot, ‘twas v Tine ngled skein lav Bot the knitter had gon With the babe asleep o1 Down in the churcbys A MATCHLESS Ju Witnin the writer’s in the Overgate, Dund dwelling of curious ar several stories in height was a round tower con the middle of the last residence of the Hauck was a Hoilander,whos the year 1700, and in of mantffacturing saile and acquired much pre died, and was succeede son removed to the dwé ed and was equally p He died in 1), daughter.

The Story Revealed by a Scotch Court of Justice. Within the writer’s recollection there stood in the Overgate, Dundee,§ Scotland, an old dwelling of curious architecture. It was several stories in height, and at. one corner was a round tower containing a staircase. In the middle of the last century this was the residence ofthe Hauck family. Henry Hauck was a Hollander, who settled in Dundee about the year 1700, and introduced a new method of manufacturing sail clotb. He grew wealthy and acquired much property. In 1731 he died, and was succeeded by an only son. This son removed to the dweiling already mention- ed and Was equally prosperous as his father. He died in 1750, and left a son and daughter. The latter died, but the son continued in the same place and bus- iness, and, dying in 1781, left his property to his two sons, Jobn and Henry, who were twins, and atthe time of his death in their twenty-second year. While Henry, however, received the bulk of the estate and the busi- ness, Jolin was to receive only a cerlaim sum in money, for John was dissipated and of de- raved habits, and itis said that his mother ied trom the effects of a beating which he gave her because she expostulated with hi:n on his conduct. Be this as it may, soonafter his father’s death his brother gave him the large sum of money his father bad bequeathed to him, andhe wentto Holland ostensibly to act as paid agent for the firm. For some time-he appears to have conduct- ed bimself With unusual propriety, and was so successful in business matters that his brother came to place great contideuce in him. In 1784 he wrote to his brother Henry, in- forming him that he hadit in his power to make large purchases of fiax and hemp on most adyintaveous terms, Dut that to.do this he must have funds at his disposal. Heurv at once provided for this, and John drew jarge sums on letters of credit. Then he dis- appeared and nothing was heard of him for years. In the meantime Henry married a Miss Newall, and, having built a handsome residence up town near What is now known as the Perth Road, removed there. The name had come to be spelt Hawk, and the spot where the new redidence was built Was named Hawkbill, by which name it is Known to this day. - Henry Hawk took his wife’s brother into partnership. Afterthe new partner had be- come sufticiently familiar with the business, Henry resolved to visit Antwerp and other modern poits, and put his business relations on a better footing. There were no steam- ships in those days, ana he had to cross the German Ocean inasmack, Which ran as a regular packet. He had delayed his going on account of the health of his wife, and did not stuart till June 1%, 1785, six weeks after the birth of their tirst child—a son—who was born on May 3 of the same year. On the day on Which Henry Hawk sailed one of the domestics rushed into the house from the garden, where she had been spreading clothes to bleach, and exclaiined: ' **Good sakes guide us! DPve just seen my master looking in at the gate!” . “Savy not aword,’’ one of the older ser- Vants said, ‘‘or it will alarm your mis- tress. for she will think it is kis a and that something has happened to im. But Mrs. Hawk had heard the exclama- tion as she Was coming down the stairs, and entering the kitchen ‘she inquired what it meant. **] was stooping to lay out the clothes,” the girl said, “and happening to look tip I saw the figure of aman at the great gate. I was startled, but looked again, and then I kaW my master’s face distinctly, all pale and haggard.’’ _ Hawk restrained her feeelings and said: “It’s your fancy. girl; what else can it be? mL master is beyond the Bass Rock by this tinte, With a fair wind and a clear sky.’”’ Three weeks later a Mr. Dewur, who hada sail-loiton the Leagate, called at the office of Hawk in Newhall. “Where’s Mr. Hawk?’ he asked. “Why. he’s been gone since last June, answered Mr. Newhall. ‘*Gone since last June!’’ Mr. Dewar ex- claimed; *‘gone where’” “To Antwerp,’’ was the reply. **That is strange,’’ said Mr. Dewar, taking out a pocket-book and turning the leaves, —— ‘*Whatis there strange about it?’’ Mr. Newhall said. **Why, on July 21 gota note from Henrv by 4 Messenger, asking me to send him £120 touse On an emergency, and I sent it to him.’’ Mr. Newhall stared at his visitor in wonder, but Mr. Dewar not only showed him the eatrv in his pocketbook, but produced the letter, hich so far as anyone could say was in Henry awk’s handwriting. t Neither of them could explain the mystery, but both agreed that for the present, and, in fact, until Henry’s return, nothing had better be said about the remarkable circumstance. On August 12th the packet returned from Antwerp without Henry Hawk. She brought a bundle of letters, however, for Mr. Newall, which were duly delivered at the office. Two addressed to Mrs. bawk, in her husband’s writing, were given toa boy who started up the Overgate with them toward Hawkhill. At thattime there were few dwellings on the Overgate above Faystreet, all beyond be- ing open country, with the exception of a few residences here and there. As the boy passed Tally street, a big, burly man, dressed as a sailor, came out of a dramshop, and, crossing the streey, walked up Overgate on the oppo- site side to the boy. They walked almost abreast until they were a couple of hundred yards beyond Fay street. Then the man mused, and the boy observed that he felt into jis pocketss The boy was passing on abead, when the man called out Aye **Sav. voungster, pullup; l’ve lost some- thing,’’ The boy stopped and turned, and the man crossed the road toward him. **Look here,’’ the man said, ‘*vou Know . Wilson’s dramshop by Tally street??? **Yes, sir, I do,’’ the lad replied. **Well,’? said the man, ‘*I’ve left my pock- et book there with a valuable letter inside. which I was taking to Mrs. Hawk. of Hawke hill, from her husband, and which he gave me just before the packet sailed from Ant- werp. “Why, I’m just going up to Mrs. Hawk with two letters myself,’’ the boy said. **Well, damme, that’s strange,’’ the man said. ‘**Now look here; give me those two let- ters, and yourun back to Wilson’s and yet my pocketbook. I'll stay here till you come hack, and then we will walk up together, and cn, gre you something for your trouble to wot, letters, and started down Overgate on arun. n reaching Wilson’s be found that the man had left no pocketbook there, and he re- turned in baste to where he had left the sailor. He found him there,and the mansald on hear- ing that no pocketbook could be found: **Well, that’s too bad. Butsee, I’ll walk up with you and deliver these letters, and ex- pein about the one Mr. Hawk sent by me.

After the ab- sence Of two or three a he returned, and the two.. walked down the Bowgate in company. When they reached Tally street the n.an gave the boy a few pence and turned down toward the Neetergate. Mrs. Hawk expected her husband by the packet which would arrivein Dundee about the second week in October. If the packet arrived after dusk, it was customary for her passengers toremain aboard until daylight, and then land at what was known as the Yeo- man shore. The packet dropped anchor inthe Tay at 7 o’clock onthe evening of October 15, and her passengers were, therefore, not expected to land until early next day. Mr. Newall was there when they were put ashore next morning, but Mr. Hawk was not among them. Mr. Newall expressed surprise, and inquired whether Mr. Hawk was a pomcaars- **Mr. Hawk was a passenger,’’ the captain said; **hbut a man came off for himina boat Just night, and he went ashore.’’ While he was speaking, a messenger came from the office to tell Mr. Newall that Mr. Hawk was there. Greatly relieved, Mr. New- all hastened to the office. and found Mr. Hawk ut his desk examining papers. There was a waim greeting, and Mr. Hawk said: eWay. Henry, how strong vou have grown,’? **Yes,’? was the reply; **my own wife hard- ly knew me when I reached home last night.” “But howcame youtoland last night? Wasn't it a great risk withsuch = a hich wind’’’ Mr. Newall said. ‘*Well,’’ wasthe answer, *‘a man came off inaboat forsome purpose or anoth- er. and I took the chance of getting ashore.’’ Mr. Hawk spent much time for the few first days 1n looking over his papers, and then said he thought he would take things easy for atime, as he had been rather overworked for some months past. Mr. Newall gladly ac- quiesced, and thenceforth took almost entire management of the business. Mr. Hawk, however, seemed to take a great interest in all that went on, but complained that his eve- sight Was getting bad,and he must wear classes. He began to take long walks, and was _ in the habitof going daily among the ship- ying. , On November Gth he returned from one of these strollsto the office ina state of great distress. ‘*Mr. Newall,’’ he said. ‘‘my brother+ mv poor, unfortunate brother John—he is drowned. His body was found on the shore, near Broughly Ferry, this orning. I saw them bring it up on a boat, and I identified it at once.’’ Mr. Newall was astounded. ment’s silence, he said: ‘*That accounts for it. He has been around here, then, for months and we never knew it.” Then he related what the girl had seen at the gate the very night on which Mr. Henry Hawk sailed for Antwerp. “That is it,” said Henry. He went tomy house in poverty and distress, and dared not enter. VPoorfellow! He was so like me—we were twins, you know—and the girl might easily have mistaken him forme. I wonder my wife never mentioned the occurrence. ’’ ‘*And that accounts for another thing, said Mr. Newall. and then he explained to Henry all about the loan from Mr. Dewar. ‘*That is it, no doubt,’’ said Henry; ‘‘he wrote just like me, and, driven to despera- tion, forged my name to get money to live on. I’m glad he didit. See that the money is re- pa id.’’ After a pause, during which Henry seemed to be much affected, he said: After a mo- 29 **Newall. I’ve made all arrangements for the poor fellow’s burial. By the way, he must bave been killed in a brawl], for there is u wound, as ofa knife, right in the region of the heart. I will use ay influence to keep things as quiet as possible.’’ ‘There was a coroner’s inquest. and a ver- dict that the deceused came to his death at the hands of some person or persons unknown. Then the body was quietly bumed in the vard ofthe Oid Cross Kirk, and the matter was soon forgotten. Things went on smoothly for many years, and Mrs. Hawk bore another son. In Janu- ary, 17%5, Henry Hawk fell from a horse and broke his leg. Mortification setin, and am- putation proved of no avail. He died on Feb- ruary Ist, leaving a will by which he divided all his property between the two boys, Ed- ward and James,and gave each an equal share in the business. His funeral was a very solemn one, and for years afterward the Hawkhbill Mansion was like a tomb. From the day of the master’s death to the day of herown death. which happened in 17%, Mrs. Hawk was neverseen out of her dwell- ing. On May 35, 1806, Edward Hawk became of age. He was a strong, well-favored young man, but of avery sullen disposition. Two months after he reached his maturity he be- gan an action inthe high court to declare his rother illegitimate, and to recover the prop- erty which had been willedtv him. From the records of that remarkable trial this nar- rative is compiled,and the facts necessary to explain what has already been told will be given, When John Hawk received from Henry the sum left him by his father he went to Ant- werp as agent forthe firm. With all the money he could get on the letters of credit of the firm, he went to Paris and London. There he spent allin riot and debauchery. Worn down and ruined, he returned to Dundee, and though he went to the gate of his brother’s residence, he hadnot the courage to enter. Before he knew that his brother had gone to Antwerp he forged his. name and got the money from Dewar. When he found that llenry wasout of the country he set his wits to work to discover how he could profit by it. The resemblance between the twin brothers had always been remarkable. In fact, when they ‘were boys Henry always wore a red ribbon in his button-hole to dis- tinguish him from John. Little by little a diabolical plot developed itself in Jonn’s mind. Anticipating that Henry would write to his wife by the return packet, John plan- ned the conde ge of the jetter. While the boy who bore the package of letters to Mrs. Hawk was away for the supposed pocket- book, Jobn opened one of the tetters, and, by its perusal, found that his brother was to re- turn by the next packet in October. He in- duced the boy to allow him-to deliver the let- ters so that he might explain that Mr. Newall had opened the letter by mistake. Fora time he wus in great suspense, as the carrying out of his plans required that the packet should arrive after dark. As soon as he found that the tide weuld exactly suit his purpose, he made his ar- rangewents. Disguising himself and procur- ing a boat. he boarded the packet on her ar- rival in the Tay, and induced Henry Hawk to co ashore. Midway between the vessel and the land, he drove e knife into his brother’s heart. Then he carefully stripped the body and flung it overboard. Securing the money and valuables inthe clothes, he tore them in strips and cast them on the waters. Landing at a secure spot, with his brother’s portman- teuu. in his possession, he went to a sailor’s boarding-house, and dressed himself in the dead man’s clothes. Then with a _ boldness and wickedness unparalleled, he went to his dead brother’shome and received a kiss of welcome from the Woman whose husband he bad slain. On trial witnesses were produced who stood by the dving bed of the murderous wretch and heard his confession of bis crime. These consisted of Dr. Nimmo, a prominent physician, Mr. Sims, a distinguished sur- geon, Dr. Carruthers, a Presbyterian clergy- man, and Ann Mackay. a nurse. The con- fession had been reduced to writing by a law- yerand duly signed and witnessed. The Court adjudged James Hawk to be illegitimate, but entitled to succeed to his mo@®her’s estate, which was considerable. THE boys fy the gallery of the New National Theater, Philadelphia, began to cough and sneeze. The performance was interrupted by their noise, the rest of the audience hissed, und policemen were sent to arrest the offend- er*; but the officers coughed and sneezed, too, when they gotinto the gallery. Somebody bad burned pepper, and an intermissien be- came necessary. _ — IT isthe intrinsic merit alone, of Hall’s Veg- gained | etable Sicilian Hair Renewer, that nas for it great popularity. 7 ne Paige el + ' | MARRIAGE MADE EASY. A Matrimonial Bureau in Opera- tion in St. Louis. | The Singular Brokerage Whith Ie En- riching a Local Agency, The matrimonial bureau is known to be an institution in different cities of the Old Worid and at Boston and New York, while in Chica- vo a journal known as the Matrimonial Index, with the significant motto ‘*Crescite et Multi- plicamine,’’ is published in connection with the office in that city. Here ins St. Louis a bureau has been in operation for very nearly a year, but the business has been managed s0 quietly that very few people know anything about the singular transactions which have been carried on at 623 North Fifth street by Charies Buckalew & Company, managers of “*The St. Louis Matrimonial Agency.’’ They are doing chiefly an outside business, advertising heavily in all the country papers which are printed on the ‘‘Patent’’ plan, and in many others. Their cards are to be also found in such periodicals as the Waverley Magazine, the Banner of Freedom, the Chim- ney Corner, in factallofthe frequently-ap- earing journals who minister to a certain well vefined class of people represented in one sex by primary school teachers and saleswomen and shop-keepers, and in the other by self- taught artisans and clerks. The advertisements simply solicit correspondence with persons de- sirous of matrimony, and after frequent peru- sals of the cardin various papers a PosT- DISPATCH reporter called at the Post-oftice to find out who, what and where theSt. Louis Matrimonial Agency was. He was speedily upon the track of the enterprising firm whicao has hewnout an entirely new and paying business where there is no competition and trade is done altogether on a strictly cash basis. ‘‘Tam Mr. Buckalew,’’ said a rather old gentleman, with a very benevolent face, fring- ed with a snowy beard cutala Abraham Lin- colin, rimming his chin. He was direct- ing envelopes at a table facing the door of a dingy room on the second floor of 623 North Fifth. ‘*l am Mr. Bucka- lew, sir; What can I do for you?’’ “Well, I don’t need your professional ser- vices, myself, sir, out [ want to put them within the reach of others. | am from tae Post-DISPATCH, and I want to tell -people What you are doing.’’ “Whatdo you mean?’’ ‘“‘This matrimonial business. you know, Hyweneal encouragement, wedlock, and all thatsort of thing,’’ said the reporter Vaguely. **l am not doing much of a local brokerage yet, but we have been thinking of pressing the home business more, so I suppose I might as well tell you all you want to know.’ **Very well, then; what 1s the nature of your business?’? **To bring parties eontemplating matrimony together.’’ ‘Slow ?’’ ‘*For instance, bere is a copy of the Waver- ley Magazine. I find that there are twenty- eight ladies and seventeen gentlemen adver- tising for correspondents, ‘with a view.’ To each of these I send one of our circulars, which details our planfully. Here is one of them,’’ and he handed the reporter a very tasty blue sheet upon which was printed a sortiof pros- pectus of THE ST, LOUIS MATRIMONIAL AGENCY with blanks for the name, etc., of the re- cipient. He or she to whom the circular may be sent was informed that a larze number of eligible parties are uponthe books of the agency, and that upen the _ receipt of a small fee, which was named, a ‘‘phetograph sheet and key’’ would be sent, and a correspondence opened. Mr. Buckolew then produced a number of these ‘‘photograph sheets,’’ which were _litho- graphs. about the sjze of ome page cf the Pgst-DispaTcu, of® fifty faees, each very good, if not flattering, reproductions of pao- tographs. One sheet which the reporter ex- amined particulariy, was marked “K-— Ladies—Blondes—Age, 20to 22. The coun- tenances Were. MabDV at least, rather pretty, and What was shown of the dress neat and becoming. ‘ While there was a wonderful di- versity of features, there was astill more wondertul and signiticant likeness of express- ion. The eyes andthe mouth told of wistful- ness in almost every case, while nearly all the markings of tke faces indicated a singu- lar mixture of shyness and boldness, two antithetical conditions, certainly, but which were as certainly pres- ent. The numbers corresponded to other aum- bers recorded in books which were also shown, for instance **25-K,’’ a nice little girl with a decided bang, but with vood eyes and a smooth, prettv cheek, is *“*Miss Aurora L——, Carbondale, Illinoix, while her next neighbor. **26-K,’’ a dashing, large-appear- ing voung lady, is **Miss Cynthia s . Pass Christian, Miss. Th2 giris are collected from all parts of the country, and are catalogued with all the information which they will give, and all their preferences and dislikes, their age, means and position. The same thing is done withthe male patrons of the agency. Besides a photograph taken specially for the occasion, answers are required to a slip of questions which give a very complete and full summary of the matrimonial aspirant. **Of course,’’ continued Mr. Burkalew, as he Was rummeging among his books and pa- pers, *‘the creat bulk of our business comes inanswerto the advertisementS which we have spread in every country town from Du- luth to El Paso. You see a gentleman writes to us, asking to be put in communication with a brunette lady of twentv-five. Well, for a quarter we send him this brunette sheet ‘F’ and we give him whatever address or address- es he may select on that sheet for a dollar a- piece.

It lias been a long time since the country produced a man of such gigantic bold- ness and badness as Gov. Garcelon. Thad- deus Stevens and Ben Wade should have lived to know him.

This is about the only public amusement the Bos- ton people have, and they therefore insist on electing a new Governor every year.

Jackson, the patron saint.of Democracy, will be kept green at the rooms of the Democratic Association at No. 112 North Forth street this evening. Gen. Jackson was a rough, uncouth man, slightly given to expletives and tobacco, but he was a great believer in the indissolubility of the Union and the flatness of the earth. His doctrine that none but Democrats should hold the offices when Democrats are in power almost ranks with the grandeur ef the Sermenon the Mount. It is to be hoped that the orators this evening will do full justice to the grand old Democrat. BAYARD is primed with a great financlal speech which will be delivered as soon as he can find an opening. He will be an- swered by Hon. George H. Pendleton, the Greenback apostle, who was known in the West a few yearsago as the Young Eugie. Mr. Pendleton is now an elderly, bald- headed eagle, and he knows more about finances than he did in his pin-feather stage. He is still a little bit wild and itis suspected that he still harbors the belief that he will some day be deposited in the White House on some sort of revolutionary wave, such as a popular belief that corn- stalks and cabbage-leaves can be utilized as circulating medium. Oe It is given out by St. Bartholomew Ma- ziere Chambers that he will now go into a court of equity and ask for a settlement of his little claim against the defunct Dispatch. This is about the correct thing. It may be possible that, in the debris and wreck of the old Dispatch establishment, he can find some ancient junk covered by his celebrated deed oftrust. If so, he can proceed toadminister upon it. What we objected to from the start was that he should boast to reporters in the streets about his ability to sella us to pay the debts of a defunct corporation which we have nothing more to do with than Mr. Chambers has with the decalogue or the -Chinese system of finance. _—_ ——— ee _— DEMOCRATIC FOLLY. The Republican party came originally in- to power by Democratic folly. The fatuity for Democratic blunders commenced in 1860, when the party was rent asunder and put up three presidential candidates against Lincoln, who was elected by a minority. Ever since that time the Republican party has largely lived on the folly of Democratic leaders. The Democracy unquestionably agways bad acjear majority of the peo- ple in favor of their real principles. But a divided majority is worse than a united minority. And some idiotic blunder the craze on the money question was cer- tain to prevent a united and harmonious party at the very time when could prevent its accession to power. These may be unpleasant truths, but truths theyare. The sooner they are recog- nized by Democrats themselves, the better for them, The self-admission of an error Or a folly is the first step to its correction. Democracy means majority, but, unfortunately, the minority can rule under the laws of this country. Democracy means true, popular self-government, but the most correct prin- ciples and vital traditions may prove weak if incumbered by too heavy a load of blun- ders. Grant’s election may prove a terrible blow to free institutions, yet it is an en- tirely possible event, and one that canbe made probable, if not absolutely certain, by Democratic mistakes. | In 1860 Democratic division alone al- lowed the election of Mr: Lincoln by a minority. In 1864 Democratic blunders on the war issue alone made Lincoln’s re-election in” evitable, though, of course, also only by a minority. In 1868 Horatio Seymour was put upon an idiotic revolutionary platform} which alarmed the whole country. In 1872 the suicidal nomination of Greeley was perpetrated, keeping hun- dreds of, thousands’ of Democrats from the polls altogether, and actually re- electing Grant by a smaller vote than he received in 1868. In 1876 Mr. Tilden was legally elected by the largest aggregate and the largest ma- jority of the white vote ever received by any President. But, large as the majority was, it was not equal to the enormous capacity for Democratic blunders which commenced after the election by an idiotic submission of the case to a set of already convicted villains called Returning Boards, and found its cli- max by wresting the final count from Con- gress—thé only Constitutional authority— which had exercised that duty, without a sol- itary exception, since the days of Washing- ton, and vesting it ina body the majority of which consisted of such notorious and venal partisans and perjarers as Garfield, Morton, Hoar, Strong, Miller and Bradley. How about 1880? The Republicans are clearly the minority party. The Democrats like nothing else nominated it will only increase the Repub- lican minority. The Democrats have it in their hands to elect their candidate. All thatis neededto elec: Grantis a grave Democratic blunder. All that is needed for Democratic victory is a little sense and —Grant. We. believe Grant to be the very weakest candidate the Republicans can putup. With him they furnish the Democrats a greatissue, an appeal to the history, the traditions and the conscience of this country, and make the cause of the party that of the whole country, that of popular self-government itself. With Grant nothing short of extraordinary blunders can prevent a Democratic success next fall. Will they be committed? We emphati- cally think not. We believe that the fatuity of Democratic blunders has about run its course. We have great faithin the logic of eventsand the irony of fate. We believe that the recent reverses have made the Democrats as careful as they made the Republicans defiant. ‘‘Whom the Gods wish to cestroy they first make mad.”’ Grant, in spite of all the noise, bluster, and some real popularity, will be defeated as Van Buren wasin 1840, Henry Clay in 1844, or General Scott in 1852, who had all the noise and enthusiasm and seemed even more certain of defeating their obscure ep- ponents—Harrison, Polk and Pierce—than General Grant is to-day. Let us hope that Grant will be nomi- nated. ° —_ s—_—_— A CONVENTION of the great National Greenback-Labor party is being held in Washington City to-day, more, we presume, to demonstrate the extraordinary vitality of the fool element-of society than to accomplish any political good. The call for this picturesque convocation of beau- tiful birds was addressed to all persons not in sympathy with either the Democratic or Republican organizations. This sweeping invitation has brought out all the rag-tag and bob-tail Thinkers in the country. Denis Kearney is on hand, and back of him are the mouthing Greenbackers, Labor Reformers and Eight-hour associations, Free-lovers, Woman Suffragists, ‘*Free- speech’’ people (who want the repeal of laws against circulating obscene litera- ture), and every sort of ‘‘reformer’’ who hasa scheme for benefiting mankind at the expense of people who labor and save. Out of these elements a great third party isto be born and welded together. The convocation to-day only hopes to arrange for a national convention in the spring, Which will perform the pleasant task of nominating a candidate for President. It bas been expected all along that Ben Butler would assume the leadership of the new party and carry its standard in 1880, but at last advices Ben was digging around in his great law business so that nothing but the tips of his ears were visible above the sur- face of affairs. Ben is a public-spirited citizen who always kuows when itis proper to be overwhelmed with private engage- ments. Iv is an unfortunate weakness of St. Bar- tholomew Maziere Chambers that he doesn’t know precisely the nature ofan Associated Press franchise. He labors under the im- pression that itis a valuable piece ef scrip, similar toashare of bank stock, to be hawked about among money-lenders and used as security. Mr. Chambers: should polish up his intellect and familiarize him- selfgith the facts. Thecertificate of mem- bership in the Associated Press declares explicitly that it simply entitles tle mem- bers of the association to the use of news, and that it is designed selely for the benefit of persons actually engaged in the work of publishing and disseminating the same. It is subject to u weekly assessmentin ¢eon- sideration of the service of the dispatches, and when these assessments are not met the certificate lapses. It belongs to a newspa- per and always goes with it. If Mr. Cham- bers made the mistake of lending money on an imaginary security that was his misfor- tune. He displayed his gross ignorance and wretched business qualifications when he pinned a certificate of steck in the As- sociated Press to a note and locked it up in the safe of a New York banker, but he might yet preserve a little of his reputation forcommon mule sense by closing his mouth when spoken to by people on the street about this sad matter. —_—- --—— — — — _ ———_ Mr. Hares has further exemplified his appreciation of civ service reformation by appointing John Morton, of Indiana, to be Collector of the Port of San Francisco. John is a son of the late Senator, and is, of course, entitled to public support as a member of the office-holding aris- tocracy. His career was commenced asa Government agent in Alaska, where his business was to see that John Sherman’s Seal Company didn’t rob the people of the United States. Since that he has been con- sul or something of that sort at Honolulu. There was atime whefh the San Francisco Collectorship was given out as political pap to Eastern politicians, but the time has come when the Californians are able to produce their own office-holders.. There is abundance of that sort of talent on the Pa- cific Coast. Of course the home rule senti- | ment is very strong out there and the San would happen if an Indiana parasite should be sent to New York to collect customs. The Senate should quietly reject the name of John Morton. — mate. £ A NEW aspect has been given to the case of Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, the venerable prelate whose failure financially for a million of dollars is a matter well known to our readers. The creditors now claim that when they loaned and deposited their money withthe Archbishop they did it upon the understanding that he personally owned all the church property in the city, including the Cathe- dral. They claim that inasmuch as the money was put into the church property by the Archbishop it should all be sold now and the proceeds divided pro rata among them. Suit to this end has been com- menced by the assignees. The fact has been well established that the bulk of the money left on deposit with the Archbishop was employed in paying off church debts and building new church edifices. The solution would seem to be to sell this property and turn the proceeds over to the, creditors. | We éongratulate Mr. Aleck Smith upon his election to the honorable position of President of the Merchants’ Exchange, a triumph made doubly valuable because it was won oversuch a worthy and capa- ble man as Mr. Michael McEnnis—and we heartily congratulate the Exchange on having secured the - services of One of the best, and certainly one of the most popular gentlemen in St. Louis. The presidency of such an influen- tial and intelligent body as the Merchants’ Exchange is an honor which the most ambitious of men might covet, and we know enough of Mr. Aleck Smith to say that he will acquit himself with rare credit. His well-known sagacity and his business success combine to make him a representa- tive St. Louis man, and we feel certajn that he will be found during the coming year in the forefront of every movement designed to advance the prosperity of our great city. WITH great solemnity the New York Sun gives place to a late utterance from the Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, of Gramercy Park. It is in relation to the Third Term. The venerable statesman is reported to have said: 7 It is the duty of every sincere lover of repub- lican institutions to do his utmost to prevent the re-election of General Grant. I will do everythingI canto securethe election ot the man who itmay be agreed upon-by the oppo- nents of the Third Term conspiracy as the best candidate to unite the conservative ele- mints of all parties. If a thirdterm can be conterred upon Grant, ufourth anda ftifth wiil be. In snort, Grant’s installment in the White House in 1581 means the Empire. This would seem to indicate that Mr. Tilden has made up his mind to run for the Presidency .again on asimple platform of opposition to a third term, regardless of party questions. We think we observe on his part a disposition to abandon the battle cries of Fraud and Reform. FROM present indications, the property of the St. Louis Jockey Club will be sold on Saturday next. At present there is no com- bination to buy the track, and the appear- ances are that the whole thing will come to This is exceedingly unfortunate for the city. A good race course is a great attraction. It brings strangers to the city, imparts life to various branches of the trade and affords diversion and recreation to a large element of society. The Cote Bril- liante track is one of the bestin the coun- trv. Its present distresses are due chiefly to bad management. If it could be relieved and placed in the hands of competent men, it would certainly succeed, and our busi- should see that it is not crief. men obliterated. ness A STORY comes from the honorable State of Virginia, touching a divorce suit, which will bave a tendency to make Indiana and Iilinois proud of their lax matrimonial laws. It seems that a young lady, a member of one of the first families in the venerable State, loved and worshipped a gentleman named Latham chief- _ly because of his aevotion to the Lost Cause. In time she took bim to her bosom as husband. Previous, however, to this little ceremonial Mr. Latham conceived an idea that this was a Nation with alarge N. His political sentt- ments underwent achange. He became, asa matter of fact, an odious Radical, but he let concealment prey upon his damaged cheek and said nothing about itto his sensitive and proud wife. Finally the awful fact leaked out that he was a member of the Republican party, and then there was a crash in the Lath- am family. The lady’s relatives, her mother included. shook the political leper, and. the estate of the young wife ceased to be gracious. Her husband’s apostacy became at once the source of unappeasable incompatibility and a suit for divorce was in- stituted. The Corporation Court of Lynch- burg sided with the unbappy female, but the Supreme Court overruled the decree. One of the members ofthe court, however, one Judge Anderson, dissented from the opinion and advanced the theory that the moral turpitude of Latham had ostracised the wife, and that the unnatural tie which bound them should be severed. He said in descanting on the case: ‘**The shock and mortification of Mrs. Latbam was to find that her husband had not been true; that he had deserted his friends and had gone overtothe enemy, and had joined him in waging uponthem war more cruel thana war of arms. It was pérfidy; the moral taint which she felt attached to him, and which d likely exclude him from the best society of the State.’’’ And, therefore, bonds of matrimony ought to be dissolved. But they werenot, and Mgs. Latham still languishes as the tabooed wife of a political Benedict Arnold. She seems to be entitled to sympathy, 7 eT THERE is a special newspaper corre- spondent down in North Carolina who ought to be suppressed by the Society for the Pre- vention of the Spread of Vice.

It is a peculiarity of bis tragedies that they are out of the com- monplace and never embrace fewer than three deaths.

TheState of North Carolina could well afford t®@pay asmall re- ward for his sealp. , PARSON TALMAGE, the acrobatic mounte- bank of the Brooklyn Jabbernacle, is always able to preach a sermon from a newspaper sensation. His text last Sunday was the Tay Bridge disaster, and « newspaper in Cincin- nati which published the awful slush felt authorized to decorate it with these instruc- tive headlines: ‘*Down Brakes! Plunging Onward to Direful Death. Some of the Lessons of the Awtul Disaster of the Tay.

There is no suppressing this mountebank. ————— TION. GEORGE R. WENDLING, the silver- tongued orator and prince of lecturers, whose reputation is co-extensive with Christian civilization, will deliver a lecture this even- ing al the Mercantile Library Hall, entitled ‘The Problem of the Ages.’”’ There is a wide- spread fear that the attendance will be small, for the reason that Mr. Wendhng neglected to insert his advertisement in the Post-D1s- ->ATCH. Our anxiety, however, to have the problem of the ages solved in a manner pro- fitableto Mr. W. and entertaining to the public induces us toinform our readers that a literary treat isin store for those who visit the hereinbefore- mentioned hall this evening. A Murs. MARGARET TUNY, residing in one of the suburbs of Cincinnati, has lived nine- teen days without taking into her stomach any nourishment save two beans. This re- markable testimonial to the nutritious charac- ter of beans should be laid before Dio Lewis and the Boston Beanevolent Societies at once, but it becomes important to know whether Mrs. Tuay is using the old-fashioned variety of white bean or th@lima bean so popular with American hotels. JOHN SHERMAN’S bank 1n New York City, the First National, cleared last year the snug sum of $4,200,000. Its capital is only $500, - 000. It would scem from this that it is a nice thing to handle the Government deposits inalarge and prosperous city, and thata connection with the United States Treasury is not a bad thing. IF the owners of corner property on prom- inent street crossings would occasionally shovel the mud from their sidewalks they would do pedestrianism a service. After a ‘man has floundered overa crossing itis a great relief to climb up ona sidewalk and feel solid material under the feet. Mr. GEORGE AUGUSTUS SALA, the literary man with a red nose, sent the London Téele- graph atwo-column —- - August Guye. Atthe Merchants’ Exchange to-day the following resolutions of respect to the mem- ory of August Guye were offered by Govern- or Stanard and Mr. M. McEnnis and unani- mously adopted: In the midst of a busy, active, useful Life. with every prospect, as far as human fore- sight could discern, of living to a good old age, our friend and associate, August Guye. bas been suddenly cailed away, and we to-day mourn bis loss.

Harris, of the Post-Dis- paTcu, died yesterday at Citronelle, thirty- three miles ont ‘of Mobile, Alabama, where ne bad gone to restore his - shattered pealth, and itis with unfeigned regret that ihe paper whicu he served faithfully and well js called upon to chronicie his death. When the Post was first established Mr. Harris left pis position of bookkeeper of the master me- chanics’ department of the Iron Mountain Railroad to take charge of the counting room of the new paper, he continued in charge after the fusion with the Dispatch until his early and untimely death, which has no more sin- cere mourners than his newspaper associates who knew him well and who loved him be- eause they knew him. His duties were onerous and responsible, but his devotion to his work, bis enerzy and his un- impeachable integrity .made him more than yaluable to his employers. His charac-* ter was suited to his work, andin his faith- ful, straightforward discharge of his du- ties he nade, without effort. a warm person- al friend of each man who had business with him. He was a man of strong convic- tipps « bdth in politics and _ religion but tolerance accompanied conviction. Tak- ing bim for all in all, the Post-DiIspTaca will seck long before it will find his equal, and his associates on this paper will not soon find as pleasant a companion or as steadfast a friend as they lost in the death of Thomas I). Har- is. Atthetime of his death Mr. Harris was a little over thirty-four years old. lle was 4 na- tive of Canada, from which country he emi- erated to Mobile, and thenceto st. Louis. Hie was marriedin Carondelet to Miss Sarah Woods, daughter of the Rev. D. b. Woods, and besides his wife he Ileaves two children, «a boy of four, a bright, strong litle fellow whose chief delight used to be to accompany bis father to the office, and a baby daughter who was born only a short time - before Mr. Ilarris went South.

At last his feiline bealth alarmed him, and in the laiter part of November he made bis prepara- tions fot leaving. and after a short spell of sickness at his home in Carondelet onthe 2nd of December started for Mobile and thence intothe Alabama pincries. His letters were very hopeful, and one re- ceived from him two days ago. speaks ofreturning health and strength. He was in excellent spirits and was looking fo?wardtoa speedy return” to home and otlice. This morning his* . brother-in-law, Mr. Woods, of the Gilube- Democrat, received a telegram announcing his death. Wis body will be brought home at once. probably arriving here to-morrew af- ternoon, and duenotice of his funeral will then be wiven. es Presentation vf a Watch to Soc. New- nan. An elegant present was given to Mr. Soc. Newman, the late receiver of the St. Louis Gas Company. vesterday afternoon. It was presented by the employes of the corporation as a testimonial of the esteem with which they regarded Mi. Newman and also as 4 token of their high appreciation of him as there late man aver. Mr. Perry Bartholow, the late secretary, was selected by his confreres as master of the ceremonies. ile was, however, somewhat diffident about accepting the onerous role. He is the only centleman connected with the of- fice Whois tot retained. Mr. Bartholow’s modesty Laving been overcome, he agreed to make the presentation the more willingly as from his constant official intercourse with Mr. Newman he had learned to admire that gen- itleman’s character. The presentation was made by Mr. Bartholow in the following feli- cious tennis: “It has been made my pleasant duty by the officers and employes who have been en- gaged under you in the operation of the works of the St. Louis Gas Light Company in the past years, to tender you this small token of their affection _ you personally and of their esteem und Tegard for you as a citizen, fenticman and friend. “Beiter than all others can, they know with What enercy, iidelity and constant care you have discharged your duty as Receiver, and they only know how you have combined with this a constant regard for the welfare of all in your emplovinent. “We beg vou to accept andjuse this little cift os an evidecce of our affection, contidence and admiratiou, and to be assured of our earnest Wishes for your prosperity.

The strike among the coal miners of the Belleville§ district was ended this morning by the operators insuring the 4 cents per bushel demanded. Theresult as far as coal consumers ure concerned will be that the price will be raised two cents for each class making it 12 cents for steam. consumers, and 1° cents for all others. The operators say thatthe in- crease of 2 cents per bushel. after the miners’ strike for an increase of 1 cent for mining, is justified by the fact thataraise in the wages of ovher laborers will bethe result, while again the fupply will not be as great, owing to the decrease | in time of miners’ laboring day by two hours. Another result of the strikes among the miners during the last few months has been the draftof aseries of resolutions not per- mitting a member of the Coal" xchange, of (which seventy-five per cent. of the operators in St. Louis are members, to enter nto contracts as before. The cost of mining during the past six months basrun from 21-2to4 cents,a fact that shows the necessity of such resolutions. City Hall Notes.

His Tale Before a No- tary. Depositions in the case of Wolfert & Riel- ly againstJ. P. Kreiger and others were taken at the oflice of Col. MacDonald this af- ternoon. The first witness called was M. Goldsoll, who was examined yesterday after- noon. He gave the following deposition: During the years 1874, 1875 and 1876 he had property outside of the city of St. Louis, and it was situated at Russell and Junction City, He is Unfolding Kaneas as Well asin Texas. The property at Junction City was mortgage during that time. In personal property the witness had general merchandise at that place, con- sisting of furnishing goods, clothing, hard- ware, jewelr and. articles generally found in a well-supplied country store. He was of the opinio that he had paid for these goods, and only was in debt as is gener- ally the case with a business man who buys ontime. In answer to a question about com- promising with his creditors in i876, he stat- ed that in 1874 he had _ asked for an extension of the payment of claims, and it had been granted. The most of the bills he paid when they became due,and othersa frien “a e di bought up for bis (witness’) benefit. not abe what his friend M.A. Rosenblatt had paid forthese notes. He did not consider him- self insolvent at that time,and would have paid all of the bills and notes if they had not been secured by his friend. He never made any rep- resentation or authorized others to make for him, that he could only pay 50 cents on the dollar. Hehad a good deal of outstanding assets that were notavailable at that time. Hie made an assignment for his creditors in Texas, and supposed that the property Was appraised, but did hot know the total amount of such appraisement. lie ithe it was more than enough pay all his commercial creditors.

Park alleges that, on the 4th day of November, 1878, he made a contract with Philip Hetzel for the construction of the brickwork, paving, and furnish the materials for a school-house on Spring near Page ave- nue. For this work he agreed to give $885. He further charges that Hetzel, when notified to commence the work as agreed upon in the contract, wholly neglected and finally refused to commence and perform his contract, with- out any excuse, and without fault on the part ° of Park. Park thereupon hired other persons to do the work and paid therefor $1,150. He, therefore, brings suit against Hetzel. and states that by reason of Hetzel’s refusing to fultill and perform bis agreement, he was put to extra expense, and was damaged to the sum of $250, and forthis sum with interest against the defendant. The defendant sets up as an excuse the fact that the weather was not such as would allow work on the contract. The case came up in Circuit Court No. 1, and a number of witnesses were examined. The arguments were made this morning and the case given to the jury. DR. E. C. CHASE, 922 Olive St., set of best teeth only ¢8. Legal Notes.

The receiver, D. A. Jamison, of Alice C. Fisher, made a_ report this morning, in which he states thatthe business of Alice C. Fisher is a wholesale millinery business, and has been carried on with parties in small towns throughout the country; that it has been mostly done upon a credit system by the parties sending orders through the mails to A. €. Fisher. The report further states that the receiver has no power to open said letters, and could not till said orders if they should be cash orders. Under these circumstances the receiver asks for a modification of the de- cree Which requires the disposal of the goods at private sale.

The fire, like the | : the plaintiff asks judgment, WHO WAS THE SUCIETY BELLE ‘A Thorough Explanation of Last Night’s Outrage, and How It Happened. The Chief of Police Declares St. Louis the Worst Policed City of Its Size in the World. The police authorities are still in the dark as to who made the assault on Mary Bhan, the servant at the Woman’s Christian Home who had such anarrow escape from outrage last night, on -Nineteenth and Washington avenue. She is to-day much recovered from her fright, but is still totally unabie toiden- tify the rascal who assaulted her. No arrests have been made and none are probable, there being many ‘‘large’’ ne- groes in St. Louis, and that is the only de- scription of him so far. Miss Bhan has been for {some time an inmate of the Woman’s Christian Home, and she 1s said to be of ex- cellent antecedents apd character. With this assault as a text, a Post-DIs- PATCH reperter called upon Chief McDon- ougzb, this morning, and usked him why an outrage of this kind could be perpetrated on two of the principal thoroughfares of the city at half-past ten o’clock in the evening and the villain get away unwhipped of justice. * will tell you the reeson,’’ said the Chief, *s ud the sooner the people of St. Louis un- derstand this matter fully, the better it will be for them. There are_now on the force three hundred and ninety-seven policemen, of whom, by a small calculation, sixty are con- stantly absent, either sick or on leave.”’ **On leaye, how?’’ ‘*Most of them attending court to secure convictions or doing other police duty, and some of them, a few, attending to their pri- vate business. The three hundred and twen- ty odd men who are left have to be divided into two parts—one a dayand onea night patrol—of one hundred and sixty men each. And with this hundred and sixty men I have to coveracity eighteen miles long and four miles wide. ‘* And that is not the worst of it; there are certain sections of the town which you know very well have tobe policed more thiekly than others. The region centering about the Third District station, for instance, or down about Almond street. If vigilauce were re- laxed there,something would happen at once. The banks and the stores, the wealth of the citv, in -fact, is collected in another well detined region, which must be well policed. Well, the consequence is that the residence part of town suffers. We can’t police it, because we haven’t got the men todoit with. Now look here,’’ and the Chief pointed out upon the map aregion inthe Fourth District; **here is a beat of one hundred and eighty-six blocks walked by one man; here is another of ninety blocks in the Fifth District, walked by one man: hereisa beat stretching from Osceola street all the way to Carondelet, and from Jefferson street to Grand avenue, four miles long and one mile wide, covered by.one man, who, by George, has to ride around his beat on the } street curs! JI can’t be responsible, and I CANNOT PROTECT THE LIVES AND PROP- ERTY of the people of St. Louis with the force at my dicpodl. No man could do it; it is a matter of utter impossibility. It is a matter of won- der that we shove through with so few crimes us we do, and it is a_ eondition that won’t last long, depend upon it. The thieves and the roughs, the crim- inal class generally, know my weakness and are beginning to take advantage of it. And as though the miserable, false economy of the city was not enough, our hands are tied further by this new law enacted chiefly to add to our embarrassment, which makes us turn out any garroter or thief in twenty-four hours, no matter how well we know him, unless we can have _ technical legal proof against him. These ro a lawyers can command access to him, and are continually holding the threat of prosecution before me if the lawis not followed out to the letter.’ **Hiow many more men would vou want’’’ **At least two hundred, to get the city tol- erably in hand. Icando nothing with less, can afford no reasonably sure protection with less, and that very protection is what the tax- payers are paying tor and not getting.’’ ‘* What additional cost would that entail??’ **] think the best plan woulda be to makea corps of specials from whom promotions could be made for merit into the regular force. These specials could be had of the kind of men I want, for #60 a month apiece, or at an additional expense to the city annually of $ 150,000,”? **\W hat was the last yearly appropriation?’’ ‘Something under $590,000. IfI werea member of the Police Board, I certainly would make the City Council make this appropriation by legal means, be- cause the law provides that a suflicient ap- propriation should be made to give police pro- tection, and that is distinctly not done. ’ **St, Louisis the worst policed city of its size inthe world. Boston, a mucb smaller town, jas twice the force, Baltimore the same, and so on, while we go through the farce of pretending, for instance, to cover a region stretching from Baden tothe River Des Peres and from Grand avenue to the city limits, a long circular strip of coun- try reaching all around the town with seven- teen men. It is a fact that murders, burglar- ies, every description of crimé might be com- mitted with impunity all through the weaithy residence portion of the town while the po- liceinan on duty is at the otber end of his beat half n mile away. be- lieve that there is not a tix- payer in the city who would not be willing to increase the police appropriationtoa sufti- cient basis.’’ THE SOCIETY BELLE? The usual aching after the sensational lied the Globe-Democrat reporter who wrote up the account of the outrage to weave about the unfortunate young woman. a reportorial glamour of wealth and aristocracy which would trans- form a common police item to the heaven of good society. It was thought that while the outrage was spicy enough in ftself the agony couid be piled on by adding ‘‘tone’’ to the lady. High connections were alleged, but were artistically kept anonymous. The name of the family was not mentioned ‘‘*for evident reasons,’’ though how the *‘reasons’’ were “‘evident’’ does not appear upon later investigation. The theory Which obtains in the Post-Disratcu office is that crime is just as great and should be followed by , punishment just as surely when committed against the poor and lowly as when per- petrated upon any of the curled darlings of the **‘Upper Ten Thousand.’’ CLAYTON OF ARKANSAS. A Roseate Re ublican Resume of Poli- tics that Was, Is and Will Bc. The Hon. Powell Clayton, of Little Rock, Arkansas, arrived at the Planters’ House this morning and was visited by a Post-Dispatcn reporter noon after his arrival. Mr. Clayton was formerly Governorof Arkansas and also represented that State for one term in the United States Senate. He is now on the Re- publican National Committee on Building and Arrangements for the next National Con- vention to be held in Chicago, and is regarded as @ Jeading Kepublican of the South. In answer to questions Mr. Clayton stated Pa a .

He thought, however, that everything was being done for the holding of the convention. He did not consider that the selection of Chicago as a place for holding the convention was a Vietory for any particular candidate now named for the nomination of the office-of President. He refused to expiess bis opin- ion as to what person would be nominated at the convention. Hh said that in case General Grant was nominated he thought that a great many Democrats in the South, if one could believe what was now said, would vote for him, but did not expect that a great change would be made in the total votes in the South- ern States. He thought the Democrats who now said they would vote for Grant would on election day vote the straight Democratic ticket as heretofore. Mr. Clayton did not an- ticipate a close election, but thought the Democrats would Le unable to errry a single Northern State, as the feeling of insecurity “whieh he stated now existed among the independent yoters of the North would result to the Republicans” benefit, not that the peo- ple had more love for the Republican party than in the past, but because they felt that the government would be best secured and main- tained by electing the Republican nominees. In reference tothe Maine affair, Mr. Clayton was of the opinion that the subversion of the popular vote by means of technicalities, and counting out the duly elected Republicans, and counting in the opposition, would injure the Democratic party in the Presidential con¢ test. Hethoughtit was a move ina general plan to secure the Presidency, as the object in such acourse appeared to him to b@Uto get contro] of the Legislaiure forthe purpose of securing the Presidential electors. He did not think that the Republicans ofthe New York Legislature weuld follow the example ‘set in Maine by making the electors elected by the Legislature, in place of the present system; for he did not think it Was necessary to take that step in order to carry New York. Ile con- cluded, in view of the present politica! com- plexion of the United States Senate and House of Representatives. that im case there Was any dispute or question about the returns of any State in the next Presidential contest, itwould be decided to the benefit of the doMinunt party. He refusedta speak of 4 comparison between the Maine e¢ounting out process and that conducted in the last Presi- dential election, by which President Hayes Was declared the chief executive of the United States. Special Tax Case. A jury was impaneled in Circuit Court No. 0) this morning to try the case of August Siebert against David H. Armstrong. The plaintiff alleges that by several ordinances the City Council of the city of St. Louis directed the construction of Grand avenue from Chou- teau to Vista avenue, and that in 1875 plaintiff contracted with the city to furnish the neces- sary labor and materials, and to construct the curbing and gutters along such proposed ave- nue. The plaintiff states that he completed the work as agreed upon, and that the City Engineer upon such completion computed the special tax to be paid by the property owners along such highway, and that the amount against the property owned by the defendant Was so assessed and made out. That the pav- ment of said special tax has been refused by the plaintiff and a judgment against him for $342 56, With interest at the rate of 15 per cent, is asked. ‘The case wlll not be concluded until this afternoon. . An Important Arrest. Detectives Hugh O’Neil and Henry Stewart last night pulled in Mr. M. L. Drayton, a gentleman of elegant leisure, Who Was at that time, a quarter to twelve, to-wit, walking up Chestnut between Sixth and Seventh. Mr. Drayten has been in St. Louis but four months, and during that time has improved his apportunities to such an extent that there was not a more warnted man by the police in town. He is the gentleman who jerked the diamond ear- ring out of a lady’s ear on December 20, and who garroted two other ladies during Christ- mas week and took their pocket-books away; in short, he isa very dangerous man among women and children. O’Neil has not alone got the man but he has got the diamond also, and proof positive that will send the sociable Drayton where the fascinations ofthe finer sex will not be presenit to seduce bis mind from the shoe bench or the chair fac- tory. B.O.P. I. The Board of Public Improvements met at 11:50 this morning, all the members present. The Committee on Improvement of Streets and Alleys reported the draft ofan ordinance toestablish grades of streets, avenues and alleysin the district bounded by Kossuth, Grand and O’ Fallon avenues and Bellefontaine road for recommendation to the Municipal Assembly. Adopted. The Committee on Sewers reported an ordi- nance to establish Compton Avenue Sewer District No. 33 and to provide for the con- struction thereof. Adopted. The estimated ‘cost of the work contemplated in the con- struction is $1,500, Adjourned. How Mr. Meyer Was Astonished. John Meyer was driving a two-horse coal team in Lowell yesterday evening after dark, and had the monotony of his journey broken in upon by one of those pleasant and surpris- ing little circumstances that make life in that loud-smelling suburb:full of interest. The circumstance in this case was a ten-foot-deep Wasbout in the road, into which Mr. Meyer. his teamand wagon temporarily disappeared. The neighbors collected at once and fished the surprise party out, where- upon the astonished Mr. Meyer fared home- ward to his domicile on Nineteenth and Ex- change streets, wholly unable to account for or explain the accident, and what was more to the point, none the worse for it. A Jugged Darkey. Charles Burkes, a young gentleman of color, was run in by the police this morning owing to his confused ideas of the right of property. He had in his possession a set of buggy har- ness which he says he stole from a man named Phelps, who lives at Walnut Ridge, Arkan- sas, likewise a lot of clothing be- longing to different parties, a book with the name of Mary Halstead in it and a lot of miscellaneous loot, acquired in many places and from many es Cluarles was employed in St. Louis in the Laclede-Bircher Hotel and in the Ford House.

A Canadian Cricket Team to Visit Eng- land This Year—Letter Received by a St. Louisian—Goss and Ryan. The following letter, received by Captain Treloar, of this city, affords some interesting information as tothe Canadian team which contemplates visiting England this year: 1491 St. CATHERINE 8T., MONTREAL, December 29, 1879. To A. 8. TRELOAR, Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours of the 3d of September came duly to hand and contents noted. Sorrv Montreal club did not arrange with the Daft’s team nor the Irish gentleman, so we could have had some talk about our cricketing teams «visiting tne old country next season. ‘I must really apologize for not writing you earlier, but time seems to have slipped away 80 sare: I have been working away, nevertheless, in getting to- gether the best representatives that I could think of, and am y!cased to inform you I have succeeded, with one or two, exceptions, and probable they will be with us before the time for starting, as there is considerable honor in being one of the first representatives of Cana- dian teams of cricket in the mother eountry, and especially with such a strong team as the one which is _ going. In patting averages they represent each double figures, being selected from eleven _ best dif- ferent clubs in Canada. Financially I am sure you will be in the same mind as the rest of the team. A good team 1s sure to gain pat- ronage. When we think of the Australian team netting $10,000 each man we may with- out apy discount at all put our figure at $2,000 ach sure. Ihave received quite a number of encouraging letters from members of the team and they are quite sanguine of success in every respect. 1 may say we have the cream of Canadian bowling with us and your- self as wicket keeper. I am sure we shall do | credit to Canadian cricket and ‘more to estab- lish the game in this country than all the periodical visits made by visiting teams. As only a few of the best representatives, aided by a numberof ‘‘flanne! players,’’? and the time so short to acquire any valuable points in the game, it really amounts to only the name of playing against them.But this would be a_ step in the right direction, and after playing six or eight days together on the other side E think very few of the oppos- ing teams would get the best of us. Remem- ber we shall be fifteen strongand no ‘*flan- nel players’? on it. Weshall, of course, play some clubs even-handed, numbers being reg- ulated according to the strength of the oppos- ingteam. My reasons forgoing early are as follows: We shall catch: the opposing clubds out of practice; that will bein our favor, and we shall. after the first six or eight days. be improving more rapidlv than our opponent. And should any other foreign team think of making a visit we still have the priority. hav- ing several months ago corresponded with som of the leading clubs and rsceived favor- able encouragement. As Lam anxious to make other definite ar- rangements with other clubs in England, Scotland and _ Ireland, I noticed in your letter you could render some _ valuable assistance in getting on a_ few 'matches. Piease write me any Valuable information you have at hand, and oblige. Two or threeof the team have seen you play, and speak highly of vou. With the compliments of the season, i am Yours faithfullv, H. MILLER, Sec’y for the team. Goss and Ryan. [From the New York Herald. ] The veteran Joe Goss publicly expressed his willingness yesterday to meet Paddy Ryan in the prize ring and fight him forthe cham- pionship of America and $1,000a side within three months of signing articles. ‘*I think there 1s one more fight in me,’’ said Goss, ‘*and, in addition tothe stake money, I would like to lay an outside bet of $1,000 that I win.’’ Laterinthe dav Ryan was questioned regarding Goss’ proposition, when he said: ‘*] will be glad to make the match with Goss end want you to announce that all he has to do is to notify me when he will meet me at the Clipper office to sign articles of agree- ment, make the first deposit and arrange other necessary details. An early settlement will please me, as I donot want any more bar-room fights.” STATE POLITICS. A Caucus of the Friends of State Aud- itor Holliday at Barnum?’s Hotel Yes- day. There wasa meeting at Barnum’s Hotel yesterday of a number of Southeast Missouri Democrats. It was a very quiet affair, and was held for the purpose of making some ar- ranpgements for the State campaign next sum- mer. One of the gentlemen pres- ent was Mr. Albert O. Al- len, chief clerk of the State Auditor’s office. He wasnoaoubtthere for the pur- pose of looking after the interests of his brother-in-law, the present Auditor, who is a candidate for re-election, and who has aH along counted on the individual sup- port of Southeast Missouri. But a strong opponent has lately appeared in the person of Mr. Clark, one of the Audit- or’s clerks, who has resigned his position for the purpose of making the race. He has held an important position in the Auditor’s office fora number of years, and has many friends throughout the State. He, too,is from South- east Missouri, and this 1s an additional reason why his candidacy will seriously affect that of Judge Holliday. A Post-DISPATCH reporter met a gentleman at thePlanters’ yesterday evening whois prominently connect- ed with the State Gevernment, and the con- versation turned on the caucus at Barnum’s. **What does this meeting mean?’’ asked the reporter. ‘*It simply means that Auditor Holliday is trving to secure his re-election, which he has a perfect rightto do. But now since Clark has resfyned and is making the race, I think they will kill each other, and that neéther will be nominated. I do not think the next candi- date will ceme from Southeast Missouri.’’ The next campaign will see two of the present State officers can- didates fer renomination—Auditor Holliday and Secretary of State McGrath. They have both served two terms, having been first elect- ed in 1874. One of the candidates for State Treasurer will be Mr. Noland, the present chief clerk in the Treasurer’s office. EXCHANGE ECHOES. Jordan, the flower man, sent down to the Exchange yesterday afternoon a magnificent floral basket with a card on it inscribed, ‘*To the Winning Horse,’’ being intended for the successful ‘manin the race for Presi- dent. It goes, therefore, to Mr. Aleck Smith, whothis morning placed it on the re- orters’ table. Every passer-by first admired tand then took out a choice flower for a buttonhole bouquet, and by noon the new president’s splendid tlora) tribute loooked like a picked goose. Mr. Alex. Smith, the newly elected presi- dent of the Exchange, is not gifted as a public speaker, and itis expected that he will have — trying ordeals to pass through. The resident of the St. Louis Merchants’ Exchange 8 often called on to ake public speeches, as will be readily called to mind by those who remember a few of the important events that have occurred in this citv during the last few vears. During the year 18:9, President Wabi was often called on, two notable instances being the welcoming of Zamacona, the Mexican Minister, and the reception of the members of the National Women’s Suf- frage Association. The Exchange has often had Presidents who were excellent speakers, among whom may be mentioned D. P. Row- land, Web. Samuel, George Bain, and E. O. Stanard. Butin electing a President the ability to make a s bh is one of the minor considerations, the prime object being vo oo 9 man whe hese wise hesd.on his shoul- ers. oy Mr. E. Goddard ia very happy over the de- - feat ofall but one ofthe amedments to the Exchagge rules and regulations. He now feels like the country is safe. ; - dard has a big scheme in his mind—it is this: Increase the membership of the Exchange several hundred by taking in honorary mem- bers at an assessment fee of $10 each. **How is it now?’ says Mr. Goddard. ‘‘Why, a man who lives here in town cannot come on to this floor on ordinary occastons. They are too close here—they are so exclusive that they make themselves un- popular. My plan is to popularize the Ex- change. This could be done by aking hon- orary members ata low annual assessment. There are five or six hundred men in town who would join simply fdér the sake of commg on _ this _ floor when- ever they feel 80 disposed. Of course these honorary members should not be allowed to buy and sell on ’Change, but simply to come here to meet the business men of the city,’? In the remarks made by Mr. Aleck Smith last night after his election, he took occasion to invite all the members of the exhange and those who are in the habit of fo ing there to meet him at the St. Louis Club next Saturday evening and partake of his hospitality. This morning some of his friends came to the conclusion that he had undertak- en most too large a contract and they forth- with got up a memorial praying Mr. Smith not to give the contemplated banquet. There are some 1,260 members of the Exchange, and if they should ail conclude to accept thejhospitality of M.Smuith,it would make a raft on his exchequer of several thou- sand dollars. The memorial was being numer- ously signed on ’Change this morning. Mr. Miles Sells would not put his name down, and he thought it a piece of impudence to ask a man not to be hospitable when he is dis- osedto beso. **Why,’’ says he, ‘*l mever Coasd of such athing. Is it supposed that Mr. Smith is notable to attend te his own business and that he needs somebody to tell him how to spend his money. Supposel should ask a dozen men to go and take a drink and suppose two or three of my friends should rush up and say, ‘Here, Sells, this will never do—you are spending vour money recKk- lesslv. we won’t have it.’ What would you think of that, eh??? ’ —_——— -- Se THE CIRCUMLOCUTION OFFICE, City Supplies—What Work a Packet of Hair-vins Necessitates kt the Muni- cipal Headquarters. There is no department in the city govern- ment where an error is Jess liable to be made than in the supply department. The fortu- nate bidder whuv secures for himself the sale of a bunch of hairpins to the city for some poor idiot in the Poor-house must wait at least three weeks for his ten cents, while the bill and sequisition and voucher are sacheting from one office to another in the City Hall, and be- tween the Hall and the institution for which the hairpins have been purchased. The fol- lowing is the course nesessary for an inmate of the Femaie Hospital to secure a bunch of hairpins, total value ten cents: The Superintendent becomes acquainted with the fact that hairpins are needed. He makes out three requisitions on the Supply Commissioner, an original du- plicate and a triplicate. He retains one, sends the others to the Health Commissioner, who holds one of these two. and if he thinksjthe pins ure really needed at the Female Hospi- tal he signs the third requisition and for- wards it to the Supply Cemmissioner, who signs it after examination and places itin the hands vf the purchasing agent of the department. He asks’ bids and awards the contract to the lowest bidder. The bill, attached to the requi- sition, is sent to. the Health Commissioner, who forwards it tothe Supply Commissioner and takes a receipt forthe same. It is ap- proved by the Supply Commissioner and sent tothe Comptroller for his approyal, after which it is sent back tothe Supply Commig- sioner, who places it in the hands of the book- keepers, who, after making the entries upon the books, forward it tothe Health Commis- sioner with a voucher attached to the requisition and _ original bill. The Health Commissioner then submits the bill, requisition and voucher to the Board of Health at its next meeting, and after receiv- ing the signature of the presiding officer and three members, it is sent back to the Supplv Commissioner, who forwards it to the Auditor and takes receipt for voucher. The Auditor examines the bill and, finding it correct,issues warrants to the man whosold the pins to the citv provided he is identitied by some party known to the Auditor. After all this the merchant gets his ten cents for hair pins fur- nished, etc., and used before they are paid for. The Daily Grind. Judge Jeckoto-day had four violators of the law and the gospel before him. Henry Oter gave bond to Judge Laughlin mn the nee $ 200 to await the action of the grand jury Nearly allthe business in Judge Cady’s court to-day was upon the old meat-skhop cases, which were as a rule continued.

The case of the State of Missouri against Bernard J. Reilly was called in the Uriminal Court this morning witb the usual fine array of legal talent on both sides. Mrs. Ivory, the prosecuting witness, and her daughter were on one side ef the long table, behind the pros- — counsel, Col. Normile, Mr. Conroy and Mr. Noonan. Mr. Reilly is represented by Gov. Johnson and Mr. Lodgese the legal battle will be out with extreme bitterness. morning Mr. Eaton, the Re Bankruptcy, was examined, and Mrs. Ivory was then te: upon the stand. She testified as to Rei Zs action after her husband’s death, in collecting their life insuranee poll- cies and securing a power of attorney from her, manitesting much feeling attimes. She ¢laims that he owes ber over $25,000, The. details of the case, however, are too well known to need repetition here. At 1o’clock a reeess Was taken and the Sheriff ordered to feed the jury. The case was resumed at two. ’ Disgraceful Condition of the Streets. Yesterday evening the frightful state of the streets had improved alittle.

Michael Kinealy considers himself sland- ered by J. H. Bobb and therefore brings suit against him for $20,000 damages. In his pe tition which was filed to-day Kinealy states that he is, and has been, an attorney at law duly enrolled, and that on the Sth day of Jan uary, 1880, the defendant# falsely and mali- ciously and with intent to injure and annoy the plaintiff, published the following scanda- ous and inalicious libel of the plantiff: ‘*For sale, a final judgment in my favor and against Michael Kinealy, who styles himself anuattorney. Applyto me at once. J. H. Bobb.’’ The plaintiff states that the publication of the notice is understood in this com. munity as: a notice and evidence that the judgment debtor is insolvent. Piain- tiff suys that he is soivent and fully able topay all his debts. These facts, he claims, Were well known tothe defendant. ‘The plaintiff prays judgment for $20,000.

Just at the dour he was overtaken by the boys, omof whom stabbed him in the back with a knife, inflicting a severe wound, which. accordéng to Dr. Hendrix. will keep him contined to his bed for a week to come. As usual there is no clue to the perpetrators. Money Advanced. Charles Pleasants instituted suit against I. A. Fisher and C. C.
