Tutt’s Unique and Interesting Evidence. Full Report of the Testimony of Messrs. White, Tutt, Green, Boland and Kinkead Before the Last Grand Jury. The Post-DISPATCH to-day publishes a vast amount of the testimony taken before the last Grand Jury, relative to the gamblers’ ring and police scandals. The testimony of Messrs. White, Tutt, Green and Kinkead is peculiarly interest- ing. The Governor of the State is shown up in the most unenviable light. But the earn speaks for itself. E. J. White. E. J. White, being duly sworn, testified as fol-. lows: My nameis E. J. White, Lama practic- ing attorney in this city. Q.—Mr. White, we would like to hear what you have to say; if you can state consistently with your duties as an attorney, concerning interviews you had with Gov. Crittenden concerning the first resignation of Mr. Kinkead? A.—With reference to my interview with Gov, Crittenden there is nothing at all that I care to conceal: I am under no professional obligation to conceal anything which passed between Gov. Crittenden and my- self; he is not my client, conseqently I have noth- ing to withhold at all. Q.—Did you see that first resignation; was such aresignation brought to you by Dr. Vincil, and 1 think it was Dr. Lewis? A.—I don’t know that either of these gentlemen brought that resigna- tion tome; presume you refer to one which I have understood was said to have been held by McChesney? Q.—Yes, sir, thatis the one? A.—The first time I ever saw that resignation it was shown me in my office -by McChesney. Q.—Will you please state the circumstances of that—first, when was that? A.—Well, to the best of my recollection—I cannot recollect the date exactly—I can tell you about, [think It was in May, it was either in May or about the first of June. I cannot place it exactly, but it was about that date. I will tell you the circumstances of it; of course I am privileged to tell you anything that concerns Mr. McChesney, or any one else except my client. Q.—Yes, sir? Witness—Mr. McChesney met me in my office a few days prior to the time of which I have just spoken; I had known who the man was before. I had no. ac quaintance with him but knew his name was McChesney. He said to me. in effect, that he wished to see me, and haa called at my office for that purpose. I tola him that I was go- ing over tothe court-room then, and was busy; he said that he would call again. I stated to him I would be in betWeen 9 and 10 the next morning —I think that was what I stated to him; he aid not call the next morning, but called several days after. My door opened; I don’t think my office boy was in my office; I think I was entirely alone —in fact, 1’m quite sure I was. McChesney came m, and stated to me that J would perhaps be sur- prised at what he was about to saytome. I don’t remember my exact remark to him, but it was in "} be was then. jook a seat and proceeded to tell me that Alexan- der Kinkead had djsappointed him in his conduct as a Police Commissioner; that Kinkead had been rather a friend of his, and that he had writ { tena letter tohim demanding that he send his ———= | resignation to the Governor, and stated that tf he didn’t do it he would make known the fact to Dr. Vincil and Dr. Lewis that Kinkead’s resignation, being in his possession, would, at a time given—I think it was the following Saturday—be forward- ied tothe Governor; and, as evidence of the fact of his having his resignation, said he, “I will } show you;” and thereupon drew a couple of pa- pers from his pocket; one was a copy of this let- ter which he had stated he had sent to Mr. Kin- kead: the other was the so-called resignation. He showed them both to me and I read them both, and he then stated to me that unless Mr. Kinkead immediately forwarded his resignation to the Governor, he would send this resignation 4 to the Gover::or, and said he would have it photo- : graphed and have copies of the photograph sent to Dr. Vincil and Dr. Lewis. I believe Dr. Lewis was his pastor, or haa been. Dr. Vincil, he said, was a Methodist preacher. I quietly heard him through to the end of his story! and what he proposed to do: he stated that he had called on me because he had understood, or knew, that I was a friend of Alexander Kin- kead’s, and had perhaps been his attorney—may When he had gotten through with his statement to me in reference to this matter it the threats which he had made, i then told him "| eaeto aay whatever be bad fo 87 ana he ten ¢ »that he could do exactly as he pleased, that Mr. | Kinkead would do nothing of the kind; that I ‘spoke for him as his attorney and as his friend: that he had nothing te conceal and did not shirk any exposure of anything; that if that was Mr. Kinkead’s resignation, which I told him I denied at the time, that whatever Mr. Kinkead had done was probably done in good faith; that he had act- ed inaiscreetly, that was all he had done. He spoke about how it would cost Mr. Kinkead his reputation, dad lots of that stuff, and I told him I didn’t care about that; thatif he had done that, $et the worla know it; and he spoke further about + the fact of his going before the Grand Jury unless Mr. Kinkead stepped down and out. - I statedto jim that Mr. Kinkead would not acquiesce in any ‘demand that he made, and so far as his threats were concerned he was at liberty to do what he pleased. I defied him to injure Mr. Kinkead in any manner. He then statea that he would go before the Grand Jury and state these facts. Il ‘said, ‘Go before the Grand Jury; sofaras that is concerned I guess the Grand Jury wil investi- gate the matter, and thefe willbe some things shown that you would not like to have shown.” He seemed to be exasperated. and leftin that frame of mind. There were other statements pmade of that character, but Ido not remember them. Q.—He said he would ruin his tion? A.—Yes, sir. I think he_ stated in the letter that he wrote to Mr. Kinkead that he didn’t wish to expose his character. He stated to me that it would ruin Mr. Kinkead’s reputation if this thing became kpown, ana I remember then to have asked him when this resignation was placed in his hands— when he became possessed of it; and he stated that it was placed in his hands before Mr. Kink- ead’s appointment. I then said to him: “How does this resignation come to be dated In 1883 when Mr. Kinkead was appointed some two years before that?” “Well,” said he, “that is all right; it is dated 1883.” “Then, how d6és it come that the date of the month was. scratchea out?’ I; was plain to be seen that some date had been reputa- Whitteo there and erased. He would make no ex- } planation of that. Q.—Let me interrupt you right there: Dia you indicate to him that doing that would bea forg- ery? A.—I don’t know tnat I did then, Q.—Well, then, proceed. A.—I don’t know that I did then, sir. I think I examined that after- wards. I think that I did argue with him 4fter- wards. Idon’t recollect of stating that té him then, but I stated to him that that was not thé res- ignation which Alexander Kinkead placed in his hands, and if it was his resignation at all it. was after Alexander Kinkead ever signed a paper of which 1 had any knowledge, except what hé told me at that time. But I bad Mr. Kinkead’s signa- ture to some papers which I had with mein my office. that afterwards, to be perfectly sure, | triea to get him to come to my office and get him to show me that paper again for the purpose of compar- ing it with this signature, and for that pur- pose I dropped him a note a day or two after that to call at my office; he did not, however, call, but requested me to call at his office; which, however, ‘I did not do; that was the end of Mr. McChesney’s matter. Q.—Do you know whether that letter McChesney sent to Kinkead Is stillin existence? A.—I have seen that letter and I apprehend it ‘ia, sir; I have seen the original as well asa copy which he showed me; I soppose both arein existence; the original anyway. He camein and showed mea letter and showed the alleged resignation. Q.—And threatened that he would forward it to the Governor if Kinkead didn’t do certain things? A.—Yes, sir, Q.—If he didn’t resign? A.—That was it, sir. Q.—Do you reinember what grievance he had? Did he state specifically any grievance. he had against Mr. Kinkead? A.—Yes, sir,since you have called my attention to that I will state that I have omitted to state that he stated something to me about the stables; I don’t know about which stables; some stables of the Police Board,I be- lieve, of which a man by the name of Faulkner had charge;it was something with reference to the putting out of Faulknerand the putting of some one else in, I didn’t charg@ my memory par- ticularly with that; he seemed anxious to have Kin- kead out of there for some purpose of his own, and 1 remember of him having spoken of that and also of Kinkead’s refusal to havea manby the name of Stiles put in as Chief of Detectives; that seemed to be his grievance. Q.—And for that matter he was disappointed in Mr. Kinkead? A.—Yes, sir; that is what he seemed to say. He said Kinkead had not come up to his expectations. That he ought to have seen that these things were best to be done, and that he hadn’t done them, and that he had in- currea his displeasure. (y.—Was the body of the alleged resignation in Mr. Kinkead’s own handwriting? A.—I think not, Mr. Lodge; infact, I may say that [ am quite sure from my knowledge of his handwrit- ing that the body of the resignation was not in his handwriting; the signature Was. Q.—Did you examine that close enough to ‘see that the date that had been written in there was in the same handwriting as the body of the res- ignation? A.—My impression is it was; I would not swear to that. There had been an erasure there. It wasa blotted thing by reason of the erasure and the second ink having done it. I don’t think I can speak clearly as to that. You asked me just now whether I called bis attention to the fact that the document was a forgery and I told you at the time that I did not recollect. My recollection is refreshed now. I did call his at- tention to the fact towards the last of this conver- sation, and this resignation having been dated in 1883, and to the fact of his having stated to me that it was placed in his hands before Alexander Kinkead became a Police Commissioner. Then it was I asked him how it was this resignation came to be dated 1883 if it was placed in his hands two years before; he had previously stated to me that it I didn’t think of it at the time, but I know- was placed in his hands before I stated to him that he had stated so not five mmutes before, and told him he could not deny it to me then. He stated that he haa, and I then looked at the mat- ter to see if there was not a statute covering the offense; it occurred to me there was. I didn’t fee] sure there was until I examinea it further, not being a criminal lawyer myself. Q.—Now you may state what you know in con- nection with Gov. Crittenden, concerning this matter. A.—The first Isaw of Gov. Crittenden was about the 8th day of July, of this year, ona Saturday. Dr. Lewis came to my office that morn- ing, rather excited; he seemed very much wor- ried, He said that he had gotten a letter from Dr. Vincil or Gov. Crittenden, I don’t know which, to meet the writer of the letter. He said that he didn’t know what they wanted to see him about. I think he had gotten a letter from Goy. Critten- den or Dr. Vincil to meet Dr. Vincil and Critten- den. He told me he didn’t know what they wanted to see him about. He then told me of having got this photographed copy of Kinkead’s resignation, and supposed it was in reference to that, and asked me if I knew anything about it. While he was there, talking, Mr. Kinkeaa came in, and, directly afterwards Dr. Vincil came in. They were all there at my office, Dr. Vinciland Dr. Lewis, my im pression is, were to meet the Governor at the Southern Hotel; anyway, they asked me to walk around there with them, and at their request I did so, they statingto me atthe time that they preferred that I would see the Governor myself and say anythingthat wastobe said that con- cerned them atall; that I knew all that they knew about it and what they had done and all about it. I went with them tothe Southern Hotel and met Gov. Crittenden, and I think afterwards they left me, and Gov, Crittenden and I went up staire in the parlor of the Southern Hotel, and Gov. Crit- tenden there stated to me—he broached the sub- ject of the resignation of Mr. Kinkead’s Police Commissionership—tnat this resignation had been forwarded to him, and that Mr. Kinkead had de- nounced it as aforgery; that he had notified Mr. McChesney of the fact, and that McChesney had threatened to institute criminal proceedings against Kinkead and prosecute him for saying that it was a forgery or something of that kind, I don’t remember his exact words. He stated, however, that the case was in that shape, andne apprehended that McChesney would make some noise about the matter, and to settle all matters he thought it was best for Mr. Kinkead to step down and out. Ithen told Gov. Crittenden that there was no question in my mind, and, in fact, it was not denied by Mr. Kinkead, that he had left his blank resignation with McUnesney, supposing that it was the Governor’s wish that it should be done, as he was told at the time that he was leaving it forthe Governor, and for the Governor’s use, I told Gov. Crittenden that there was no question in the world but that that was Mr. Kinkead’s signature to that paper, but that it had been changed, had become a forg- ery by reason of the change; that Mr. Kinkead did not agree to resign at the time he received this letter from McChesney. This brought up the conversation that occurred between McChes- ney and myself. I told Gov. Crittenden all about it and that Mr. Kinkead did not want to resign at that time, leaving itto appear that McChesney forced him to it by threats of exposure. Gov. Crit- tenden said that McChesney would push this thing and make it come out and it might put him ina bad light. I said to him then thatif he forced him to resign that Mr. Kinkead would be com- \pelied.te.come out with the exposure of the ‘whole matter, and that the probability wotild be that it would nurt him more in that way than any- thing McChesney would do. We talked over it in that way, he still demanding that Kinkead senda in his resignation, and I told him that it would not be done. Finally, after talking in a more pacificatory tone, he agreed to do nothing further about it, but to let it rest where it was until some- thing further occurred, and I left him with that understanding. Nearly 6 o’clock that evening. just as I was leaving my office, Gov. Crittenden came in. I was alone at thetime and he toid me that he had thought over the matier and that he had come to the conclusion that unless Mr. Kin- kead sent in his resignation immediately that he would be forced to accept the resigna- tion which was in his hands; that he was thoroughly convinced that that was the position for him to take and that he should do that. I then said to him that that was not Mr. Kinkead’s signature,and that the fact had been made known to him by Mr. Kin- kead; that there could be no question in the world that that was no more the resignation of Alex- ander Kinkead than a blank piece of paper; that I didn’t think he should accept the resignation under such circumstances. He said he should, unless Mr. Kinkead should immediately forward his resignation. I said: “Mr. Critteuden, very well, it that is your ultimatum, then Mz. Kinkead will be forced to publish a statement of the whole matter; you cannot put himin a false light; it is true, that this resignation in its original con- dition was left with McChesney for you—not for McChesney’s use; thatif Kinkead had taken a wrong position let the world know it.” He. then seemed to think over it awhile, and finally I said why notlet his resignation be sentin to take effect from the ist of January. “No,” said he, “that won’t be done; that is too long; I cannot do that,” said he. “I will tell you what Iwill do. I will let it take effect on the ist of October.” I don’t pretend to tell you every word. I’m giving you the facts. Itold him that we didn’t agree todo that, and I then proposed that he agcept it, to date from the 1st of November. He thought for a while, and said no; he would not do that; he could not run that long. Well, we talked some time over it, and I told him that Mr. Kinkead certainiy could not afford to have the thing get out that way without any explanation besides. I said further to him that Mr. Kinkead was a poor man, andI presume had made no provisions for any other business at the time. I was not speaking from knowledge, and that it was not right to shove him out that way without giving him some warning. We talked over the matter, and finally I suggested to him to split the difference and let his resignation take effect on the first of October. He studied over that a little white and finally agreed to it. I then told him that I would tell Mr. Kinkead the con- versation that took place between us and let him (Crittenden) Know what Kinkead’s ultimatum was—whether Mr. Kinkead would sena forward his resignation to take effect the first day of Oc" tober or not. Crittenden then said: “You'll let me know to-morrow, will you not?” I said; “To morrow is Sunday, Governor Crittenden, and I cannot let you know to-morrow.” “Well,” said he, “Monday, then.” Said I: “I will write you Monday ; you will probably get my letter Tuesday morning.” He then left, and Monday night I, in- stead of writing Governor Crittenden as I had ex- pected todo when [ parted yooh him, left St. Louis myself with Alexander Kinkead’s resigna- tion in my pocket, end went to Jefferson City and handed itto the Governor in person. That was somewhere about 9 or 9:30 o’clock the following Tvesday morning.. I said Monday some time ago but it was Tuesday. I called back, by appoint- ment with him, about 11 o’ciock, or a little after, and he then handed me bis acceptance of Mr. Kinkead’s resignation. I returned to St. Louis egg OS Kinxead, — is the of the transaction? A.— Q—That ‘cu aheaigenit weiss the salient.points, sir. Thereis nothing further that is within my knowledge, save that which you are aware is a secret bctween myself and client. Thomas E. Tutt. Thomas E. Tutt, being duly sworn, testifies: My name is Thomas E. Tutt, lam President of the Third National Bank of this city. Q.—Are you acquainted with Gov. Thomas Tf. Crittenden of this State? A.—I am. Q.— We wish to ask you some questions con- cerning your knowledge, if any you have, of the appointment of Police Commissioners and the contemplated appointment of Mr. Green as Police Commissioner of this city; do you know anything about the facts?. A.—I will say, gentlemen, that the time Mr. Green was intended to be appointed as we supposed, Gov. Crittenden and myself were on very good terms. 1 think it was a week there- after we had a difficulty, and I hardly think that it would be right to make apy statement of mat- ters that occurred during our friendship. I know nothing since, and I would rather be excused from answering the question. By a jurer: Q.—Thts matter has come up in this way, in the line of testimony that has been given us by others, and I will say frankly to you that to the Grand Jury thisis a very inpleasant duty, asking you to come and give that which is not voluntarily given: but in the Interest of justice in pursuance of this examination we ask you to testify. Itisachainin other words, and may lead up to other cvidence. A.—If my rela- tions with Gov. Crittenden were of the same character they were at that time [{ shouid not hesitate to answer any question that this body sheuld see proper to put to me, but under the circuinstances I think I would be violating con- fidence, and I’d rather not do it. Q.—The question which we ask you, and te which we solicit your answer, is whether you Know anything about Mr. Crittenden desiring blank resignations of any of these gentlemen be- fore he appointed them? A.—I can only answer that question by saying that I bad heard a great deal said on that subject. The impression was general that he did, or expected it. Q.—Did you, at his instance, solicit or request blank resignations of Mr, Green or Mr. Boland prior to their appointment or contemplated ap- pointment, for the use of Gov. Crittenden? A.— I would rather not answer that question, for the reasons [ have just stated. Q.—You see that it amppertains to a matter of public importance, and while these matters are always more or less unpleasant as affecting individuals, it is your duty toanswer. A.—I can only say that I be- leve, from what I have heard from third parties, that these blank resignations were required. That is all I know. Q.—Are you notable to give the names of the third parties from whom you heard it? A.—Well, Icannot say now that I can refer to any par- ticular individual. I think the thing was pretty fairly discussed in the papers. Q.—Did you ever have any conversation on that subject with Gov. Crittenden? A.—lI’d rather not answer. Q.—Mr. Tutt, I suggest that what you said is liable to leave the impression on the minds of the jury, that there was such a conversation; tell us when that conversation was? A.—I would rather be excused. You understand that I have made it a rule in life never to violate confidence, and asitis, you see gentlemen, it would be ex- ceedingly unpleasant to state anything in regard to Gov. Crittenden. I have not seen the Governor in two years, and I have only seen him once sinea that difficulty between us. I think Iam doing just what my conscience tells me is right in regard to this matter. Of course, you gentle- men can ask any questions, you please about what occurred, but it is hardly presumable that I would go te Mr. Green and state that such and such things were required unless I had to do it. Thatis the only answerI can give tothat. I think it covers the whole case. Q.—I think this is afair statement of the mat- ter. Inthe first place nothing that you ever stated directly or indirectly, so far as we have heard, has led to your being called here. You are not here violating any confidence. You are here merely to state facts that came to your knowledge in the line of your connection with the Governor, not because you want to volunteer any statement but because you arecalled on to state it. A.—There arecertain things in connection with my friendly relations with Gov. Crittenden that are inviolable and I suppose you have a higher estimate of those things than a majority of men, but I am conscientious in this andjI would prefer to state nothing further than I have stated; I pre- sume Mr. Green knows the facts. Q.—There is no use of this thing under the circumstances. You are an old eitizen here. I have knowD you for the ‘last twenty-eight years and you have the reputation of being an honest gentleman, now why don’t you come before this jury and state anything you know in regard to this case, that may have any bearing, so far as yourself is con cerned? I know that. We are simply seeking in- formation in a certain direction, and we can only gct that from such a gentleman as youare. There- fore you should not hold back, if anything has oc- curred, but if anything has occurred just say se likeaman. A—Thisis not a question about my- self; the question is with regard to violating a private conversation. I don’t think it would be right for me to do that; I have nothing in the world to conceal so far as Iam concerned, ana I don’t propose to shield Governor Crittenden, If there is anything wrong about It I suppose you have all the testimony you want. I will say this: I fulty believé that he did demand resignations, I don’t know how many. Ihave heard it stated that he did demand resignations and I have no doubt of it. Q—Can you tell us somebody that knows some- thing about it? A.—O, no, sir. I presume Mr, Green can tell you the conversation that occurred, Mr. Green is an honest man, and I have no doubt will state the facts in connection with it. Q.—You know well enough that this jury is not gomg to fool away their time here to investigate things of this character. A.—I understand that, sir. Q.—What we wantto get at 1s the bottom ef these facts. A.—Yes, sir. Q.—And we have to rely on men of your char- acter to get at the bottom facts. A.—Yes, sir. I am opposed to violating any trust that may have been considered private at the time, and this was so, and I’d prefer not making any statement. Mr. Wainwright suggested that Mr. Tutt retire to the ante-room. Onthereturn of the witness the following questions were asked: Q.—Mr. Tutt, the jury has considered the state- ments you have made in regard to your position in this matter, and they do not see that in the line of public duty, Which they are sworn to perform, why they should make an exception in your case, and not any one else; the other witnesses have brought here, “ peen required

(Mr. Wainwright here suggested that the main guestjon be asked the witness, and Mr. Lodge propounded the following :] G.—In order to get your gnswer or your posi- tion, Mr. Tutt, I will ask you the questions the Grand Jury desire to know. Did you ever have any conversation with Gov. Crittenden concern- ing his appointment of Police Commissioners here in St. Louis? A.—Yes, sir; I aid. ° Q.—Did you have more than one such conversa- tion? A.—Not in regard to the appointments. We had many in regard to governing the city of St. Louis, and he knew my views very fully on that subject. Q.— Where did these conversations take place? A.—Here in St. Louis and elsewhere; one of them occurred at my house one night he spent with me, and the others in Jefferson City. Q.—And you recommended the names you have stated? A.—I recommended ‘the names of ten or twelve of the best citizens of St. Louis. Q.—Was Morgan Boland among them? A.—No, sir. Q,—In any of the conversations you had with Gov. Crittenden, with reference to the appoint- ment of Police Commissioners, was anything said | by him, or yourself, or both of you, in regard to exacting or requiring blank resignations of any persons to be appointed, before they would be appointed? A.—I had rather not answer that question, sir. It is covered by the private inter- view we had. Q.—Do you refuse to answer, Mr. Tutt? A.—I do, sir. - Q.—Did Gov. C. ever say to you, directly or in- directly—that is to you personally or to you through another—anytbing which would lead you to receive blank resignations of any persons who were to be appointed to that place or who were seeking appointments to that place? A.—I de- Cline to answer that question, sir. Q.—Did you ever ask any person to place in your hands blank resignations before they should be appointed to Police Commissionerships in the city of St. Louis? A.—I did, sir. Q.—Whom did you ask for such? A.—Charles Green and Mr. Boland. e Q.— At whose instance, if an yone, did you seek those resignations? A.—I decline to answer that question. Q.—What did you propose to do with those resig- nations? A.—Well, sir, I presume that if they had been signed they would be returned to Jefferson City. + Q.—In the custody of the Governor of the State? A.—I presume they would have gone there. That was the purpose. Q.—You didn’t seek them for yourself or to file away or to be used, did you? “A.—No, sit, not in- dividually. | Q.—If they had been signed you woula have sent themto the Governor at Jefferson City, I suppose. A.—I would, sir. I had no use for them. Q.—Then what was the purpose for which you sought them? A.—I had rather not answer that, sir. Q.—Can you state whether you ever suggested, ef your own free willana your own volition, the idea of getting these resignations from anybody appointed or about to be appointed as Police Commissioners? A,.—I don’t think the thing ever originated in my brain. Q@.—You never remember to have made any such suggestion to any person that bas originated from yourself? A,—I don’t think I did, sir. I have no recollection of it. I will include in that the Governor of the State. Q.—Can you recollect any other persons with whom youever talked asking for such resigna- tion? A.—No, sir. I think there were no others. Q.—You did not from any others? A.—NoO, sir; there could not be any other, because Governor Crittenden and myself were separated about a week after his inauguration, simply because I didn’t think he was giving us the proper men here to administer the affairs of our ciiy. Q.—And you were acting in this instance so far as you are individually concerned as a citizen for the best interests of the city? A.—I was, sir. Q.—Any suggestions you ever made to any of these individuals was not for your personal inter- est? A.—Nota particle, sir. Q.—Or to be used as such? A.—No, sir. Q.—You don’t remember any other persons with whom you have talked in regard to the matter of resignations, except these you have mentioned, whose names you have given? A.—I do not. Q.—Did you have any talk with anybody else who suggested the taking and keeping of these resignations? A.—No, sir. I hada talk with Mr. Yost, now the editor of the Sedalia Democrat, who was then on the Globe-Democrat. I had heard it said, and I believe I asked the question, It was a short time after this thing occurred I had heard it stated that Gov. Phelps demanded blank resignations, and I aon’t think he answered the question. It was in that connection that the con- troversy arose between us. Q.—Between Mr. Yost and you? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—What was the controversy between your- seifand Mr. Yost? A.—It was no controversy, It was simply a conversation. Q.—Did Mr. Yost pretend to act in any one’s in- terest or at any one’s suggestion? A.—No, sir, I think Mr. Yost condemned this whole thing of demanding blank resignations. Q.—That Mr. Tuttmay not misunderstand us just say—excluding the Governor—do you re- member the name of any other one of whom you think who suggested the idea; who originated the idea? A.—No, sir, 1 did not speak with any others than the appointees. Q.—Mr. Tutt, you stated that you asked Mr. Green and Mr. Boland to sign blank resignations. Did Mr. Green sign such blank resignation? A.— No, sir. Q.—Did Mr, Boland sign such a blank resigna- tion. He did not. A.—Both parties refused, Q.— What object had you in trying to coax these parties to sign such biank resignations? Phe gti tena object had I? I didn’t coax em. A.— Q.—Was it at the instance of the Governor of the State of Missouri that you saw these parties you have named in reference tothe biank resig- ations or at whose instance wasit? A~I de- cline to answer that question, sir. Q.—You Know something about this gambling ring or this lottery ring in the city of St. Louis, do you not? A.—No sir: L am giad to say Ido not. ().— Were you ever approached by any one in re- gard to the gambling or lottery rings to use or in- fluence the Governor to have certain parties appointed Police Commissioners in the city of St. Louis? A.—I1 don’t understand that question, please repeat it. Q.—You were a friend of Gov. Crittenden’s at the time, were you not? A.—Yes sir. Q.—And these parties came to youto secure the position and refused to sign the blank resig- nation? A.—No sir, they did’nt come to me. They djd’t ask me to have them appointed. I did not ask that those gentlemen be appointed. I certain- ly never wv have asked for Mr. Boland’s ap- pointment. Charles Green. ‘while you were Police Commissioner? Q.—Were there any terms or conditions exacted of you, or were to be exacted of you in order” to secure your appointment? A.—Yes, sir, I was asked to sign a blank resignation. Q.—Who asked you to ao that? A.—Mr, Thomas E, Tutt. Q.—And you refused? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—Refused to have anything ¢o do with it? A.— Yes, sir. Q.—Did Mr. Tutt tell you what he wanted with a blank resignation? A.—He said something about it, I cannot recollect the exact words now; I think be asked me to sign it because it was not intended for him, it was intended to have an affect on some others. Q.—Repeat the conversation as near as you can in substance? .A.—Some weeks before that I think, Mr. Ben Lewis came to me and asked if I would accept the appointment as Police Commis- sioner tor the Citv of St. Louis. I told him no, He talked some time, saying I had better do it, my name haa been mentioned to the Governor by Mr. Gerard B. Allen and Mr. Tutt, and vy a num- ber of gentlemen who wanted to get some good men in, and that the Governor bad consented to appoint Capt. Silas Beat and myself if we would accept. I told himin this conversation that if Mr. Bent accepted the appointment that I would. eQ.—Would vou have accepted that position had not the condition of signing a blank resigna- tion been required of you? A.—Yes, sir, I would. When it came to that I just washed my hands of it and told Mr. Tutt that Crittenden dian’t Know me or he would not have made any such request. Q.—You thought that came from the Governor himself? A.—Mr. Tutt told me so. Morgan Boland. Morgan Boland, being duly sworn, testified: Q.—Mr. Boland, you were at one time Police Commissioner of the city of St. Louls, were you not? A.—Yes, sir. Q.— What was the date of your appointment as near as you cap remember? A.—Well, I think it was about two years ago. Q.—I want to direct your attention to one sub- ject: First, who was in the Board with you? A.— Well, there was Finney, Moffett, Kinkead and myself. Q.—Did any one hold your blank resignation A.—I wiil answer the question, but I want toKknow whether l am on trial here or not? Q.—No; it don’t affect you In the least. A.—I say no emphatically. 1 will state iturther that since you asked me the question that one man tried to obtain it but couldn’t get it. Q.—Who was that? A.—Thomas Tuit of the Third National Bank. Q.—What conversation did you have with Mr, Tutt? A.—I made my application for the place based onthe fact that I had received 20,550 votes as the Democratic candidate for Sheriff of the city, and my name was sent in to my surprise, and as soon as they found that the Governor was go- ing to appoint me McDonough and Overstolz had aconversation. with me. They sent a buggy out to my house and brought meto the Four Courts. Jim MeDonough told me to go to Henr y Over- stolz forthwith, which I did, and he said, “Mor- gan, your name is going to be sent in, and Capt. McDonough and me are for you, and now to com- plete the matters go down and see Tom Tutt.” [ went down, McGrew, who is a sergeant atthe Mayor’s office, driving me downina buggy. I went into see Mr. Tutt. We had considerable conversation. He said: “Mr. Boland, there is one thing you have got to do: you have eontrib- uted considerable to the election fund; in fact, more than any one in St. Louis or outside of it, but he says there is one thing you will have to do; you will have to sign a blank resignation, because the Governor cannot afford to trust you.” I said you cannot get my resignation. If Tom Crittenden cannot afford to trust me I cannot afford to trust bim. Nobody ever held it; I would not give it to him; I would not give it to Christ if he came on earth. Q.—Do you think Mr. Tutt solicited it in the | hame of Gov, Crittenden? A.—Yes, sir; he did. q.—Are you sure that Mr. Tutt broached the Goyernor’s name in that couversation? A.—Yes, sir. Hesaid the Governor could not afford to trust me if I could not trust him. He said my hame wouid not be sentin unless I signed the resignation. Q.—We want to know whether anything passed in this conversation between you and Mr. Tutt that would go to show that he made you this re- quest at the direction of Gov. Crittenden? A,— He said that the Governor coulda not affora to trnst me if I could not afford to trust him. I think the Governor didn’t say anything of the Kind to him, because he sent my name in two days after this took place, Q.—You never did sign a blank resignatfon? A.—No, sir. I said that if Chrisf was on earth I wouldn’t give him any blank resignation, and, that, ir the Governor wouldn’t trust me I wouldn’t trust him, Q.—Do you know anything about any other blank resignations? a.—I do not; only wnat the scandel-monger and papers have published. I have heard many remarks from time to time. Juror; We don’t want remarks; we want facts. Alex. Kinkead. The following is the balance of Mr. Kinkead’s testimony, which he gave during his first exam- ination by the Grand Jury: Q.—Did you discuss these matters with any- body to-day? A.—Not with anybody except this morning Col. Campbell and I had a conversation on the general proposition of these matters. Q.—What did you say to Col. Campbell? A.— Well, his conversation and mine were about the same questions you asked me a while ago. Q.—Did you have any other conversation? A.— No, sir; I’ve been busy all day. Didn’t talk to anybody but him that I remember. Q.—Did you say to him that if you told all you Knew you'd send these men up the road? A.—I don’t know whether I used that expression with him or not. I am not positive. Q.—Well, the equivalent of it, or the substance of it? A.—Perhaps not the exact words. Q.—Did you leave the impression on his mind that if you told all. you knew about this business that you would send some Of these men up the road? A.—I won’t be positive that I didn’t make that statement, but I think I did; I made this statement and I think I made it again this morning, thatif I had enough evidence I would send them up the road, and I thought the city of St. Louis would be better off without them. E Q.—Whom did you refer to? A.—I would pre- fer not to answer that question. Q.—That is what we want to get at: we want some facts upon which you base your position? A.—I felt mortified when I found out that my resignation was in the hanas of a person whom I didn’t know had it. I thought it was in the hands of the Governor, but-I had Me- Chesney in my mind’seye. What facts J have stated in regard to general conversations had nothing to do with regard to the paying of this money. Q.— What facts had you in your mind in connee- tion with McChesney which made you feel you would like to send him to the Penitentiary? A.— I felt this way: I had been grossly mistreated by him. He tried to put Stiles in position. I believe it was the Intention to get the Police Department insucha position that gambling and ~ tottery would run in this town again. Q.—On what other facts in connection with your resignation did you base your conclusions upon? A.—That is all. My resignation was sent up to the Governor, and he was going to accept the first had no one for the position, and whoever they I could not swallow. Q.—What is Mr. McOhesney and Mr. Butler's } Copnection with the Board—I mean if there has been any money paid to any member of the Board 4 to influence legislation in reference to this gamb- ling. A.—Not at all to my knowledge. TI have never heard of a cent being paid. Q.—Possibly they might have exciuded you for any such purposes? A.—I would not have heard it if it had been done, because I wasn’t inuny of their penitentiary conferences, if there were any. Q.—Do you know whether the resignation of any other of the commissioners hud ‘been in the hands of third parties? A.—I do not know pos- itively, I never have seen any of them. Q.—You don’t know whether Dr. Lutz’s resig- nation is in the hands of any party or not? A.— No, sir, not positively. I have heard so, but I have never seen it, Q.—Whose hands have you heard it was in? A.—Well, I have heard two or three men’s hames suggested. I heard the other day that McEntire had it. No, I believe McEntire is the only one that had it. Yes Ido. Some time ago I heard that McChesney had it. Q.—Is it your opinion that the Board, as a boatd or individual members of it. did want this gam- bling business to revive in this town? A.—That is a question. I-don’t know what their opinions were; they didn’t express them openly in the board, if it Was their understanding or their ideas. Iknow how they felt in regard tothe matter, but they never expressea themselves openly. The only thing that can be construed in that light is this order to Mr. Boyd, which wasa misinterpretation. When I called the matter up to them, that it would be taking tne power out of Chief Campbell’s hands, they said no; that was not the intention. Q.—Did you ever hear it in the Board that they intended to raise a fund by this gambling busi- ness? A.—Not tn the Board. Q.—Did youever hear anything to that effect out of the Board? A,—No, sir. Q.—You say that resignation of. yours was not sent to the Governor at the time you gave it? A.— No, sir, I suppose it was-not. I received a letter from McChesney stating that he still held that blank resignation. ‘Q.—Did you go up and see the Governor about it? A.—I did. Q.—Did you tell him how he came to get it? A.—I first denounced the thing as a forgery and consulted my attorney in regard to it, thinking that we would bring it into court on account of forgery as tothe date of it. I teld the Governor that, and he said I would have towrite another or he would accept it. I then stated throne my at- torney the full transaction, and stated that I didn’t want to give it In that way; that if he de- sired it I would send miy resignation. This was not satisfactory. I gave him my resignation with the understanding that it would take place the istof October. The first arrangement was that he would let the thing stand over. I ex- plained Mr. MecChesney’s annoyance. He was satisfied with my record as a Commissioner, H6 was not opposed to me on that account. I told him I would take care of McChesney. Q.—Did you understand that McChesney had such power or influence over the Governor that he—— A.—I don’t know what you mean. I had to send my resignation in; but I will say this: if l had to go over the thing again I would let him accept the forgery. 1 wrote the Governor to send forward the resignation from McChesney. It was him, for nobody else had it photographed. I sup- pose it was him. I sent to some of my friends to get that. down here. Q.—Dia you. Know. whether McChesney done that with any ofthe other members? A.—I don’t know str. Iknéw six months ago that I was going to get into trouble. - Q.—Didn’t Ed Butier or Joe McEntire have any- thing to say if the changing of names in the dis- tricts? A.—I did hear that-they did interfere on one or two occasions, when men were changed from one district to another. These are pot the only ones; if we would put on all the men that they Want us, we would put on more than the law allows, and I hear that they interfered with one ortwo changes, Q.—Did they ever speak to you directly about it? A.—They did not have much confidence in me while I was a recognized friend, I was not a chum of Butler and McEntire. Q.—What was the reason Mr. McChesney took such an mterest in police matters? What infer- est had he? A.—I cannot tell; I never heard him explain, directly or indirectly. Q.—This McChesney is not a gambler, is he? A.—No, I think not. I’ve beard him say that he never gambled in his life and didn’t know one card from another. Q.—What is his business? A.—He is a pre- sumed lobbyist. Q.—Did you tell Mr. Kerwin that McChesney held your resignation at one time? A,—IJ did. Q.—Did he tel) you then that that was nothing; we all did that? A.—He told me that was custom- ary. Q.—Did he say to you that some one held his resignation? A.—No, sir. Q.—He simply said it was customary? A.—Yes sir. Q.—In other words that somebody held the resignation of allthe commissioners, A.—That was about theextent of hisremarks. He said that was customary; thatl hadn’t done anything out of the’ routine business. I was a new man and I thought I was doing something outlandish. Q.—Mr. Kinkead, we understand, then, that you said that if you told all you knew in connec- tion with this resignation that 1t would send some men to the penitentiary? A.—Il have said a good many things and I may have made that remark aud I possibly did make _ that _re- mark to Gov. Crittenden in regard to that resignation, that if they didn’t let up on me I would try and send some of them up his way to live. I made this remark in a letter that I wrote I understood that there were some stateme nts or affidavits fi'ea against my person al character, and I demanded them of Governur Crittend en. He did not give them to me, and [ statedin my com- munication to him that I thought it was one of the dirtiest, meanest, unprincipied tricks. » That it was the effort ot alotof cowards to injure a man, 10 stab him in the back without giv- ing him a chance to maintain himself. I asked him to be kind = enough to allow meacertified copy of the documents filed against me, ana send me the bill and that I would pay it; that if they had made any such statements against me I would try and put them in the same shape that others were in, and would take pains to send them to Jefferson City. Q.—Who did you mean by that? A.—Mr. Boland and Biack. Mr. Boland, I remember, paid a fine, and Black paid a very severe fine, Q.—Are those the persons you referred to when yousald that? A.—Yes, sir. . Q.—Is Boland on the police force now? A.—Yes sir. Q.—Who urged Mr. B.’s lastappointment? A.— I don’t know exactly.. It was first brought up by the Mayor. There was a communication came force. The matter was taken up by the members and his merits and demerits fully discussed; I said it was very unwise to put him on in my judg- ment; I didn’t put him on; I thought 1t was un- wise; I was notin favor of kicking a man when he was at the bottom, but I said I thought it was unwise; but he was put on notwithstanding. wanted to put there I was for him, but Mr. Stiles petore the Board asking that he be placed on the this man $100, aid he not? A.—He did. . Q.—Did le state to you what Brady said? Could you state what words Brady used? A.—No, I don’t think I can. Q.—Do you remember what grounds he made that demand on? A.—I think he made the remark that it cost him $100 to get him op, and he. got ou so easy that the next morning he wanted $200, Q.—Did he state how this money was to be used? A.—He said it was tobe paid for persons put- ting bim on, and he afterwards stated he had to pay Dr. Lutz some of it. Thatis what Mr. Guun told me. , Q.—When did you mention Dr. Lutz’ name in connection with it? A.—Well, I -hadn’t mentioned his name. His name was men- tioned to me in this conversation with him, Mr. Gunn came into my office, and he often drops in, He voluntarily tola me that himself. Then you never said to anybody that you Kkuéw Lutz had taken $100 for getting a mah on the force? A,—No, sir. I didn’t state thate I never have stated this conversation to any one but Col. Campbell. I didn’t state that I knew it, but what this party told me, Q.—You stated tohim what you stated here? A.—lI stated that to Col. Campbell this morning, and Col, Campbellis the only one I remember talking to about that matter. I don’t want to be brought into any notoriety about it. ’ Q.—Did you mention Dr. Lutz’ name to Colonel Uampbell? A.—I stated that this party stated that he wanted $100 to pay Dr. Lutz. I told him I didn’t think he got it. He wanted to use it for some other purpose, for I don’t think Dr. Lutz would receive it. Q.—Have you any letters from McChesney? A.—No, sir—yes, Ihave one letter written to me by McChesney demanding my resignation. Q.—Was that written lately? A.—No; my recol- lection is that it was written on the 4th of April. Q.—What reply did you make? A.—None at all. He said that the time was arriving when I shonid retire from the Police Board, and that I had be- trayea his confidence in reference to the Stiles matter. I told’ him that I would sup- | port whoever the Board put up. I didn’t support Stiles, and then he wrote me this letter saying that he thought the time had arrived to go out of the Police Board and that he would give me until the gth of March. [did not auswer the letter, and he was very indignant because I did not answer it. Hesenta party to me to get it, and I told him to go to the devil. Q.—Have you anv statements you would like to make to the Grand Jury in connection with that Police Board? A.—No, sir; 1 don’t believe there is. There is one matter I would like tostate. I den’t know what the iaw is. About two years ago I was instrumental in passing an ordinance through the City Council to license and place under bond those private detectives in the elily of St. Louis. The ordinance weut through. Without license they pay no revenue to the city, and are used principally in blackmail- ing schemes. The ordinance passed the City Council a)most identical with the State law, that the city of St. Louls should license all private watchmen and private detectives, and that a private watchman or private detective who should carry on business without license should be guilty of a misdemeanor, making no penalty at- tached, and consequently norevenue to the city of St. Louis. 1t is a farce. On the starting out of this thing I may make this general statement: When they commenced to down me this man McChes- ney got Stiles to say toa party that I had said he was a damn scoundrel. 1 didn’t say it, but I thought it very loudly, and that man, with some others, tried to blacken my character. They went to find out whether 1 had been seen running around with a&@ woman, Their game is a woman. If a man has anything to do with a woman and especial- ly a loose woman that is the best they want. They went to a friend of miné and said that man helped to down you, Sergeant Watkins; he and I were particular friends when”l weat into the depar>| ! ment. They said to him, “Kinkead is the cause of your downfall and your leaving the Chief of Detectives. Tell some place where you and he were out together loafing? don’t you Know sume woman? I can’t get the party’s name from him to get atthe botiom ofthe facts,and I kuow Mr.Stiles went to one party and asked him to get a copy of my signature, that I denieda signature to Gov. Crittenden. bat is I didn’t deny the signature, I denounced ita forgery. They went to the party and asked him if he didn’t bave a copy of my hand writing, and he told them that he did think he had; after talking with him a while he thougnt they were trying to give him a little stiff and he said no; I guess you can get Kinkead’s signature almost anywhere; he is_ signing requisitions for the Board. He said we will have to get his signature some way. We'll have to get even with him. We'll have to down him. The party took a book out of his desk to seeif he had my signature to any papers, and there were two papers that I had from Mr. Faulkner, They were his reports to the Board. He kept a copy himself and sent a copy to the Board. He went up stairs to tend to some business, and when he came back he put the book in his desk, and the next day the two leaves were gone. Ina conver- sation with Mr. Evans he told me he believed it was McChesney who had been to him to get my signature. Itold himtotell the party to come down to my office and I wiil write him a dozen sig- natures, and I will stamp them so deep on him that I will send him to the grave. Q.—Has there been any attempt on the part of the Board to get rid of Chief Campbell out of his position? A.—Notin the Board, | Q.—Out of the Board? A.—I understand they were not satisfied with him. Q.—Who were not satisfied with him? A.—Some of the members of the Board. Lutz and Caruth were not satisfied with him. Mr. Caruth told me he was afriend of Campbell’s and had no ob- jection to his staying, but that these parties out- side objected, Q.—Who are Ed. Butler and Joe McEntire? Q.—What is the objection of these men to Chief Campbell? A.—That is a conundrum. Q.—What do you think 1s the reason? A.—Col. Campbellis an honest man and a man looked upon asa straightforward man who will look after the interest of the Board. He took that po- sition against his wish. Q.—Is that a reason why they should object to him?—Messrs. Oaruth and Lutz—because he is an honest gentleman? A.—Well, that is what I hear outside. Q.—Is it nota fact that the members of the Board ail have their resignations in the hands of these men—McEntire, Butler and McChesney— and that they do as they suggest? A.—That, sir, I don’t know. Q.—Don’t you think that is so? A.—Well, sir, I have my doubts about it. There was a time when Police Commissioners were seeking the position but there have been so many in this year that the place has gone begging. But I don’t think those parties ever signed a resigna- tion. Q.—Why should McEntire and Butler and Me- Chésney have such power over Ihe Board, then? A.—Well, I cannot answer that. They have no power ,over me, consequently I was left, The side-show sacrificed me; they saw I could not be used. I have always been friendly to Mr. Mc&n- tire and Mr. Butler, Q.—Mr. Kikeard would you have resigned jf your resignation. had not been dn the hands of McChesney? A.—No sir, I would have completed my term of office. I had this phaol system under my charge and I was going to com- plete it before I went out. °* Are not Content on Carrying Five Times the Amount of MIL TLINERY ! the city, but are de- d Selli en Times the amount of any house in Saieined to i.

In the pit operators were firing, “What'll you give?” and “What’ll you take?” at one another without aresultant sale. Up to 11:30 call there was hardly enough trading done to allow of the commissions.to payfor the beer for the crowd. As Chicago and New York opened slightly weaker, and as cables were as dull as ever and the weather clear and cold, the first sales of wheat here were at ‘4c decline, but all at once Chicago com- menced climbing: up, owing to some shorts covering, it was said, and the bome market tailed after her, thoughina half-hearted way. operat- ors seemingly not excited by the advance, and only following because they thought they had to. After December struck $1 034%, and January $1 05 rices let down \c agatn, but none appeared to e@any more anxious to sell than they had been to buy when the market was up, and subsequentiy there was a_ slight ‘strength- ening. On the noon call there was an upward jump to $1034, and §1 05%, with livelier trading than at any previous time during the day, Chica- go stiffening on a reported demand from New York for cash No. 2 spring in their market, being the cause for the recovery here, as also a reported export demand in New York. There was quite a short demand developed that resulted in forcing up 4,@%,¢c more after the noon call, but late the feeling became easier again and the close was weak, though at advances of %c@%c over yesterday's elose. Corn received only passing attention from traders during the early hours, not a sale being made until the first call,as no one seemed dis- posed to do anything. On that call a few trades were mace, but the feeling was weak, if anything, and operators were more disposed to sell than to buy, the fine, frosty weather and aull ana easier cables bringing out a bearish feeling. Subsequently there was a slight soy em values that carried year down to 4144,@41,, but the advance in wheat and better markets elsewhere ultimately caused a slight reaetion, and the close was steady at P hae ney day’s rates. Oats were dead dull, but the feeling, it anything, was weaker, and year sola %¢c lower, Cash wheat sold higher, and grades below No. 2 were strong. ‘The best de- mand came for No. 3 red, which was quite sharp- ly competed for by shippers and millers; latter also bought fairly of No. 2 red, which also sold for shipment; all other grades were taken on order account. Cash corn was firm, with all grades scarce, save No.2 mixed. Latter met with ready sale, for export mainiy. City millers bought alithe white mixed offered, and the few other rades on sale were divided between order and eeding buyers. Cash No. 2 oats were pretty firm, and sold readily to order and feeding buyers, a speculator taking the régular offered atz7; re- jected declined from the high price of yesterday. WHEAT.

Liverpool spots and those at New York and New Orleans were off 1-16, and easier in tone. Scarce a change of 1-16 was madein spot prices, but the tone was steady and trading fairly active, the sales amounting to over 700 dbales. Receipts were much larger and the market gen- erally was sustained considering the weak- ness shown elsewhere. Futures opened quiet at Liverpool at a reduction of 2 to 364d since last night and closed a shade higher. Yarns and fabrics at Manchester reported dull and lower, especially for the former, which Is considered an indication of weakness. New York opened barely stcady and 2 to 6 _ points lower, later picked uD, but did not advance above last night’s elose up to 2:30 p. m. New Orleans was reported steady in tone, but lower by several points. LOCAL SPOT QUOTATIONS.

Every reader should see that the whole twelve pages are delivered tohim. In case any carrier fails to deliver the whole paper, we shall be obliged if noticeis given us of the fact. it has been just a week since the mis- guided Police Commissioners removed Chief CAMPBELL. The Commissioners are like the man who was kicked by a mule; they are not as pretty as they were, but they know a heap more. Gov. URITTENDEN’S indignation when he discovered that KINKEAD had left a blank resignation in the hands of the gamblers’ at- torney was a very fine bit of acting, especial- ly when we consider that the blank resigna- tion had been signed by his own orders and for his own use, THE police muddle is far from being a Jo- cal muddle. The share of the Governor in the dark transactions makes it a matter of interest for the whole State. Every paper in Missouri is interested in it, and we need hardly mention that the only full and accu- rate information on the subject comes from the Post-Dispatcn. EE TON ES Se ES THE only thing wanted to add to the com- pleteness of the existing muddle in public matters in St. Louis was that one end of the Municipal Assembly should adjourn while the other end remained in session. It is needless to say that the Assembly rose to the vecasion, and one end of the train is on one track while the other end is switched on to another track, cpemarienateadl BECAUSE the Post-Dispatcu has en- abled the public to share the information laid before the Grand Jury, the stupid and malig- nant old Republican insists that the present Grand Jury has been deprived of the evi- dence collected by its predecessor. The Grand Jury will not have to wait. a single minute for those short-hand notes, and will have read a well printed transcript thereof in the Post-DisPatTcu before the day ap- pointed to take up the Police Board matter. EL EE ED TwE substance of the decision declaring the Civil 1875 unconstitutional, is that no clause in the Constitution or amendments. thereto vv ¥ x oz 7 i pire! bes if MEMES Tha, bat 47: » By 5 Se ae ~ , % ei! confers upon Congress the power to enact such minute police regulation as is embod- ied in that act. Such power is reserved to the States, and to the State Legislatures the colored people must look for laws pun- ishing discriminations against them in ho- tels, theaters and public conveyances. That Congress, in regulating commerce between the S tates, may forbid discrimination against colored people on steamboats, railroads and not deny. Byt the act in question was en acted for another purpose, and can operate only in the Territories and in the District of Columbia, where the power of Congress is less limited. 2 rn ers eee, THE testimony of Mr, WHITE, the Attor- ney of Mr, ALEXANDER KINKEAD, shows that Mn. WARREN F. McCHESNEY, the in- dicted agent of the gamblers’ ring, helda blank resignation of KINKEAD’s to be used whenever KINKEAD offended the gamblers. KINKEAD Offended the gamblers by refusing to support the ring recommendations for the -mounted stables and by refusing to support McCHESNEY’S candidate, Stives, for Chief of Detectives. Thereupon McCHEs- NEY, the indicted agent of the gamblers’ring, called upon the Governor of the State to aid him in punishing KInKEAD for disobeving the ring. The Governor promptly complied with this requisition. He came down to St. Louis, and carried out the threats that had previously been made by McoCnuesney. He even went so faras to act onthe pretense that the signing of a blank resignation was areason which compelled him to demand KINKEAD’s removal, although he had asked others to sign blank resignations and refused to appoint fit and competent men who would not sign them. This is the position in which Governor THomAs T. CRITTENDEN is placed by thetestimony of Mr. WHITE. THE EVIDENCE. Another large instaliment of the testimony produced before the last adjourned Grand Jury is presented to the readers of the PostT- DIsPATCH to-day, and, like all that has pre- ceded, it augments the fearful load resting upon the head of Governor CRITTENDEN. There is no longer any doubt that he went into this ring work with his eyes wide open; that be Knew precisely what he was doing— knew the men he was serying and -under- stood distinctly what they were after, True, this testimony is all ex parte, and he may yet show some‘mitigating circumstances and so actin the premisesas to vindicate his intentions, at least. But on the case as now presented at the bar of public opinion, there can be but one judgment, It arraigns THomMAsS T. CRITTENDEN not as a mere object of suspicion, excusable, perhaps, on the ground of intellectual unfitness for his high position, but as a Governor who ought to be im- peached for willfully betraying his trust in the prosecution of his own ambitious aims, He is no longer accused of merely protecting JAY GOULD in the violations of the Consti- tution and laws of the State, or of merely asking members of the Legislature to vote for this or that measure on the ground that it wasa bill to raise money to further his political interests. The evidence now con- nects him in full fellowship with a ring of his appointees and agvisers whose object was to raise large sums, professedly for political purposes, by levying legalized black- mail upon legitimate business, and other sums from professional felons through an official conspiracy to protect them from the enforcement of the laws. This is the prima facie case made. out against him by the evidence so far jaid before the Grand Jury. He has volunteeied to appear before that body, but heis on trial before the whole people, who await his answer with painful anxiety. They now feel that in electing him they really put the executive authority in commission under the regency of aring of railroad attorneys, coal oil inspectors, professional gamblers, dis- reputable blackmailers and unofficial ped- dlers of “influence.” Owing to the pecul- larity of our statutes in relation to con- spiracies, he may defy public opinion, and defy the courts, because there can be no meeting of the Legislature during the re- mainder of his term, except upon his call. But if he cares for the good opinion of the public he will vindicate his intentions by breaking away utterly and forever from the men under whose guidance he has been led into this complication. ABUSING THE PREACHERS. Nothing spreads a broader smile over the face of this community than the spectacle of the old Republican, with its dirty record, assuming to lecture the press on persunal journalism and the pulpit on morality. ‘T'o- day it pitches into the Rev. Dr. Boyp,, lect- ures him as a man of lax moral views, and accuses him of having been guilty of steal- ing sermons and palming them off as his own, merely because he reflected the almost universal sentiment of St. Louis in some re- marks he made in his church last Sunday. The Globe-Democrat’s report quotes him thus: . Dr. Boyd then said that the criticism in regard to the publication of the testimony taken before the Grand Jury was unjust. The publication had done more to unify public feeling and adyance law and right than anything that had occurred for some time—it was only when people saw in black jand white that efforts had been made to corrupt the Police Department that their indigna- tion was aroused. The Assistant Prosecuting Attorney gave his reasons for giving the news- papers the testimony for publication, and he be- lieved that tne assistant had accomplished a great public good, and the public so considered it, and should not be condemned. The law places the notes of Grand Jury testimony in the custody of the Prose- cuting Attorney for his protection. It puts grand jurors and witnesses under a solemn obligation not to disclose the purport of this testimony, but leaves the Prosecuting other inter-State conveyances, the court does | ens. his discretion,’ may seem best for the public serviee and the ends of justice. On the question whether he should have made it public, as he had q right to do, or kept the people hoodwinked, as the ring and the Republican demanded, public opinion is overwhelmingly with the pulpit,'the Posr- DISPATCH and Mr. McDONALD, and against the Republican and the ring. : The Post-Dispatou was under no engage- ment to any one to suppress this evidence. It was under no legal or moral obligation to suppress it. It was under a strong obliga- tion to the public and the cause of good government to obtain and publish the whole truth, if it could do so without violating any law or procuring the commis- sion of anycrime. The people can rest as- sured that no crime has been committed in this connection by anybody connected with the Post-Disratou. ~ POLITICAL DRIFT. THE Philadelphia Times believes that to Gen.” Butler the Obio thunder must have been like music on a bass druin. THE politician of average intelligence can have little difficulty in concluding now why Blaine did not go to Ohio. THE experienced ear can readily detect the buzzing of the bee in Senator Logan’s addresses to tue Grand Army pests in the West. THE gloom in Washington since the Ohio elec- tion has been s0 thick that Arthur and Mahone could not recognize each other as they passed by. Two Ohio men were hanged Friday. Between the Probibitionists and the hangman, the Repub- lican vote of the Buckeye State is being rapidly reduced, SAYs the Fredericksburg News: “It is our turn now. Democratio Virginia will respond to Democratic Ohio With the shout of victory in No- vember. Democrats tothe front! Mahoneites to the rear. Down with the boss and up with free Virginia forever!” “AS FRANK HATTON has not resigned his posi- tion as geueral editor of the Post Office Depart- ment, itis to be presumed,” says the Atlanta Constitution, “that he is waiting to be kickea out. If Gen. Gresham has any confidence in his boots the country is ready for the kicking to be- gin.” GEN. WICKHAM, the former BStraichtout Re- publican leader of Virginia who recently joined the Democrats, in a speech the other day stated that he had been induced to become a candidate for the Senate because he foresaw that the teach- ing and incendiary appeals of this coalition party was inciting the negroes to hostility against the whites, and was tending to bring about a conflict of races.

There never will be peace in St. Louis Democracy until it gets rid of its dis- honest leaders, Excusing the Governor. From the Springfield Herald. The scandal in St. Louis concerning the, man- agement of the Police Department, is becoming decidedly substantial. An amount of corruption and rascality is being unearthed which promises to destroy some very high reputations, The in- tegrity of the Governor of the State is involved very seriously. No uncertain or questionable ev- idence of guilt should be allowed to affect the reputation of oue holding the high station of Gov- ernor of a great State. The circumstances are, however, very suspicious; but it may be that timidity, ana a fear of encountering the political hostility of a formidable combination, have caused the Governor to pares an indiscreet and cowardly policy which has placed him in the unenviabie at- titude he occupies. About the Ring. From the Sprivgfieid Herald. There is no more corfupt aud rasecally gang in any city in the United States than that counected with the volice management of St. Louis. It has levied blackmail from the gamblers and other vicious classes almust without attempt at con- ceulment; it has dictated’appointments and nom- nations, and has fattened upon gains wrung from those over whom its power has extended. It has manipulated conventions, and threatened high officials with destruction, as the means of maintaining its held upon the sources of corrupt revenue. The Remedy. From the Kansas City Journal. If Mr. Crittenden aves not want his administra- tion to end in a biaze of dishonor, he must at once vindicate himseit from all connection with Joe McEntire, Warren McChesney and the gambling ring of St. Louis. They wereable to carry ou their schemes only through their supposed in- fluence with the State administration, and decer cy aud honor alike demand that the governor should romptly repudiate allconnection with them. The emocratic party has long louked to the St. Louis Police Commissioners Lo control the city, and for the last few years their action has been a scandal to the State. The only remedy wecan see is to make the police commissioners elective. Thereis ho reason why the Governor should have the power of appointment. Defy the Howlers. From the St. Joseph Gazette.

Before condemning the mem- bers of the “tribe of Jesse” too harshly, it must be remembered that such a reversal of the cus- toms of the family must have been peculiarly ex- asperatiny.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. | By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, October 16.—The World says: “Does Mr. James Gordon Bennett of Kurone de- sire a season of personal journalism? If so he can be accommodated. Unless he instructs his donkeys 10 the Herald office. who are permitted to idiotically mismanage his property, to stop lying about the WORLD, we will be pleased to enter into a public discussion of the ownership of the Herald and the peculiar characteristics of the owner, It is barely possible that there are some styles of eutertainment to which the luxurious Mr. Bennett has not treated himself and that ts permitting his representatives to maiiciously lie about the WORLD he is prepar- ing himself for a sensation which: will be a sort of solace to bis declining years.”’ : THE TIMES. The Times says: “Senator Blair has taken his Sub-Committee on Education and Labor to Man- chester, N. ti., his home, and itis there carrying on its amusing work of stirring up the cranks. The latest lunatic the committee has drawn out fs a Catholic priest who disputes the right of a Con- gressiona!l Committee to viviate the sacred and granite soil of New Hamnvshire with its imperti- nent quest.

Senator Blair. who has reform noHons on the subject of meat and drink, would probabty turn the investigation his committee is making into this ehbannel, where so Wany sensa- tional discoveries might be made, were it not that the scope of the inaguiry would soon become as broad as the continent.” THE HERALD. The Herald says: “Mr. Kelly’s argument for harmony is a master piece of simple eloquence and greatness of mind, for it shows that, seeing clearly the evil that may be wrought to the De- tate to declare for harmony, even though every word of his speech invelves a reproach against himseif and a confession of the faults be bas com- Such a bold confession of noblevess of soul, and when anvthing of that sort is shown in Tammany Hall for the sake of harmony, Democrats may juage how necessary harmony is.” THE 8UN, The Sun says: “At che critical time when the corporations were confident of success, and their chief sat in the galleries with the roll of the Sen- ate in his hand, Mr. Thurman made bis final at- tack and threatened an ‘investigation, whicn de- moralized the Senators.

There has been much written and said on both sides of this Butler insubordination question, and it’s astonishing the lack of military knowledge there is among sol .iers.

By Telezraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, October 16.—Mrs. Amanda Meyers, 18:years old, commitied suicide by taking poison on Sunday night at No. 693 Monroe street, Brooklyn. She lingered until yesterday morning when she died. Some time had elapsed after her death before it was Known to what cause it was due, then it was ascertained that she had taken a dose of poison known as**Rough on Rats.” The sequel wilishow that the lady either took a dose to frighten her husband or because she was laboring under a temporary aberration of the mind. -Mrs. Meyers at the time of her death had been married nearly two years. Her husband, Uharles E. Meyers, isa salesman with Crandell & Goalie. No. 211 Duane street. this city. On Sunday night, on bis return from a brief absence, she called him to her, saying, “Charley, I have taken potson; 1 am sorry for it; won't you get me something to take?” The young husband was startled and did not believe his wife, although he knew that she was subject to fits of depression. The girl wife then COMPLAINED OF PAIN in the stomach, and groaned so that her husband knew she was in pa n. He attempted to sovuthe her, and realized that she told the truth. On the mantel was a box of poison; the box was half empty. My God, what have you done?” said the hus nd. “I did not mean to do it; run fora doctor.” “Mr. Meyers then hurried to the corner of Reid and Gatez avenues, just around the corner, to the pharmacy of Charles Wright. He asked for sone mustard, and it was given him. He went back and administered a dose of hot water and mustaru. This he gave his wife, It aid not relieve her, and then Meyers ran fora doctor.

Upon ringing the bel A MAN OF MEDIUM HEIGHT, with fair compiexion and cold, steel blue eyes, answered. He was Mr. Meyers, and was very puget. He immediately showed the way to. he second-story back room, where he told the fol- lowing story: “We nave been married not quite two years. It was a love match. Prior to the marriage my wife was subject, at intervals, to fits of despondency, which became more marked after we had been married about three months. 1 theu consulted some of the eminent physicians in Brookiyn and New York. They all agreed that at was a trivial matter, and would wear off in time. These fits of depression became chronic, so much so that it was remarked by ed friends. 1 went outfora walk on Sunday night, and when I returned I found my wife in pain. She told me that she had taken poison, and that I must save her. Knowing as I did that she was despondent I did not believe it. I finally saw that she was in pain, and I then ran to Wright’s drug siore. I there obtained some mustard, which I administered. IT GAVE HER NO RELIEF. “T then ran for Dr. Corbin, but he arrived too late She aied in my arms.” *Do you know the cause of her despondency?’’ asked the reporter. * Ves, she was despondent because she had no children.” In the front room lay the bodyof the dead woman. The featurestwere those of what must in life, have been most beautiful. The chestnut hair and the delicately penciled eye- brows, with the long, fringed tashes, be- tokened no trace of suffering. As Mr. Meyers uncovered the face he sighed, t was not an elegant house, but com. fortable and neat. As Mr. Meyers led the way down stairs he said, “I’ve told you all I know about it. Lam very sorry myself.”’ This was said in a half sad tone. A gentieman who resides in the vicinity informed the reporter that Mrs, Meyers had not led a happy life. Her fits of mel- ancholla can be ascribed to other causes than those ascriped. Jealousy is one. Coroner Doyle will hold an inquest to-night. TRAGEDY ON A HIGHWAY.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw Yorr, October 16—The Atias Line, steamer Aips, which was fired upon at Jeremie Hayti, on Sep.emvber 20, while taking on board refugees from the Haytian revolt, arrived at her pier yesterday morning, and was boarded by an eager crowd, anxious to ascertain What damage had been done to the vessel. The injury done to her is but slight, but itis considered a miracle that no person was killed, One of the’ shots crashed through the stern of the boat, penetrating into the mail room, which was empty, and proceeding on through a stout partition to the cabin where it exploded. One of the fragments struck a large looking-glass, ——— it to atoms, and then went through the wall into the pantry, wherea quantity of glass and | HEAVY SILVER PLATE WAS DEMOLISHED, and the fragment took the opposice direction, smashing off acorner of the table ana demoiish- ing several chairs, after which it went through a port hole into the sea. The glass and heavy brass fastenings of the port hole were wre: ched away and followed the shell overbuard. Still an- other fragment demolished two glass lamps about the cabin, made a large deut in the roof and dropped to the floor. The two fragments were secured by Capiain Seiders, of the sieamer, and were exhibited toa correspondent of the Post- DisPpatcu. They weigh about five pounds each moe are probably the center aud end pieces of the shell. “i had received instructions from the British Consui at Port au Prince,” said Captain Selders, “to stop at Jeremie and take on board eileveu women and children and one aged Spaniard, and land them at Jamaica. Jeremie was IN THE HANDS OF THE INSURGENTS at this time, but | was assured that they would offer no resistance. Wereached the town about 11 o’clock on September 20, and anchored about two miles off shore. A small boat was sent for the refugees, and we were just receiving them on board when the battery above the city opened upon us. We rushed the refugees below, and I oraered the British flag to be lowered to half- mast, thinking that this would prevent any fur- ther firing. saw, however, that they intended to sink the vessel, and we _ immediately started our evgines and steamed alead without waiting to weigh anchor. Just at this moment thé shell, which entered our cabin, struck us, and was followed up by others which came dangerous- ly close. The sheils were conical, and were Ured from a heavy battery ou top of the bill witht the city. SEVEN SHOTS IN ALL were fired, but only twree of them struck us, two strikiug outside and doing no harm. Had the shot which entered our cabin have struck six inches lower down it would have disabled our rud- der. Our steward had a narrow escape from death, at the time the shell entered the cabin, oue of the fragments passing so close to his head that he could feel the wiud of it as it passed. Fortunately the cabin was unoccupied at the time, or loss of life would surely have followed. Owing to our anchor dragging we made siow progress getting away from the town, but we had the anchor up as soon as possible. Everybody on beard was terri- ' bly frightened, as we did not know at what momeut a shot would disable us.” At the office of Pim, Forward & Co., agents of the Atlas Liue, it was learned that Her Majesty’s maa-ol- war Dido has been ordered to Jeremle tor the urpose of making an Investigation into the case. tis considered that the matter is an outrage upon the British flag, as the captain of the Alps was acting under orders from the British Consul. The Dido will demand an apology and reparatiou for the insult. A Riot Two Days Later. NEW YORK, Oct ber 16.—Latest advices from Hayti, received by Mr. George de Cordova, in this city, state that a riot occurred at Port au Prince, September 22. It was occasioned by afew young who took refuge in a private dwelling, but were finally dislodged by the Government troops, which had been ordered out by President Salomon. The insurgents, however, took refuge in the fort. On September 23 the Government troops, While dislodging the ivsurgents, became unmanageable and began to pillage the city. The foreign ships in port prepared to land and quel! the disturbance, and President Saiomon was in- formed that, unless he put a stop to the outrages, the different foreign ships in the harbor would take possession ol the town, On hearing tuis the President immediately caused the progress of THE FLAMES TO BE STOPPED. This is rega: ded as “ecisive provt Liat he could have doue so belore, aud that the oulrages have been done under his orders. Sime. Salomon is with the President. Itis thought thatthere will be a general uprising soon. WL is reporied that some of the Governwent troops at dervemie have surrendered to the Kevolutionists, saying that they had no provisions aud were starving. Pres- ident Salomon is anxious, it is said,to leave Hayti, but is prevented by his followers, who claim that he has over $500,000 in London and Paris belonging to the Government. It is thought Uai the recent insult to the British steamer Alps at Jeremie will involve the Government with Great Britain. The few followers of Salomon are becoming dis- couraged and say they have weither men nor money to carry on the war. ‘he foreigners have refused to lena money to ihe Presideut. The mat- ter of the BLOCKADE OF JERIMIF, Jacmel and other ports has been considered by the representatives of foreigu powers, unda joiut rotest against the closing of those ports has en served on Salomon, as it is said the blockade cannot be effective without navai forces, The British Consul has sent a dispaich to the Com- modore requesting that a man-of-war be sent tor the protection of the British and other foreign vessels trading witb these ports. Dispatches from Cuba state that Gen. Mode attacked and re- ulsed the Government troops at Miragoane on eptember 20, and that that port has iallen into the hands of the insurgents.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 16.—Wm. Brink- erhoff of this city is the owner of°an aquarium. At one time it was well stocked with goidlish, which, however, through the pegiect of a careless servant, became reduced to a single survivor. This one has been the object of the most jealous care on the part of Mr. Brinkerhoff, who objected strenuously to the introduction into his house- hold in July last of a large maltese cat, the pet of his youngest daughter. The child, however, over- ruled hef father’s objections and secured a berth for her pet, promising to guard the — from its attentions. That she had not Kept her engagement was to-day proved to her fatheras he entered the little parlor of his residence and found the cat its sole occuvant save the goldfish in the globe, for which Grimalkin was evidently preparing 10 make a fishing excursion. For this purpose, apparent- ly, it leaped upon a chair at the side of the glass. THE FISH SHOWED SIGNS of consciousness of thé cat’s approach, but no fear. On the contrary, it nibbea its nose against the glass and splashed its tail inthe water as if to attract the cat’s attention. The goldish came tothe surfuce blowing in a manner which Mr. Brinkerhoff characterizes as impatient. Upon this the cat, raising _itsetr on the edge of the bowle reached over. The fish swam gently directiy under it when the cat softiv stroked its back, purring meanwhile with great contentment. The fish, however, seemed still unsatisfied, and darting uway from its strange companion, swam rapidly about the bowl, and then sought the bottom. The cat remained in this position as if puzzled. Shortly afterward the fish came to the surface again and spapped at a fly which was crossing the water and rested, after naying dove so, on the edge of the bowl, The cat, SEEMING TO APPREVIATE THE SITUATION, With a_ single swift movement caught the fly and dropped it into the mouth of its finny friend. The latter’ then & WALH oo. | Bee submitted contentedly to the back-scrateh- ing endearment which it had before resented. Mr. Brinkerheff ascertained from his little gir! that the strange companionship had existed for some weeks, but she had feared to tell of it, as her neg- ligence had allowed its formation.

A Staten Island Negro Catches the Rep- tiles and Makes a Stew. From the New York World. On the north side of the iong stretch of ground that belongs to the Seaman’s retreat, at Stapleton, Staten Island, is a_ locality known as “Rocky Hollow,”’ where there are nundreds of-cabins occupied by colored peo- le. . In a retired part of Meiwen street recently a venerable, white-haired colored man was seated in a camp-stool, while on one side of him was a kettle hanging from three upright iron stakes over a blazing wood fire and on the other was a perforated wooden box. The old gentieman was humming a plantation tune, and his flat pose, thick lips, and ebony skin showed him to be a full-blooded African, He was skinning what at first sight seemed to be eels, but a close louk showed that their skins were light, with stripes, or else black and differentiv evlored. Some had cross stripes, some had nune. They were all alive and wriggling as they were deftly caught in the left hand, their head bent back, the throat exposed, a knife slipped across the neck below the head, and the skin peeled off in the same manner that ao eel is skinned. They were snakes. Every time his handcame from the box the fingers held a snake. ‘The old man chuckled as if he undoubtedly enjoyed his work. As soon as he had skinned the snakes they were dropped intoa large iron pot, where they would squirm for some moments and gradually knot themselves up until mo- tion ceased. Tie reporter stepped closer. There were probably forty snakes in the box. ‘The mass was ail netted and twisted together, crawi- ing over one another and darting their tongues out savagely. “What will you do with them?” was asked, after all had been skinned and the skins carefully laid out across a fence to dry. **Make skimeree,” said the old gentleman, who was cutting the carcasses into pieces about two inches long. “Make what?” “Skimeree—soun—stew,” replied the aged Ethiope, as he removed the steaming kettle from over the fireand dumped some pota- toes, cut tomatoes, onions, celery, small other vegetables into the pot where the minced,reptiles were, and then stirred the whole up together with his knife and poured in boiling water. Then he placed fresh wood on the fire, alld the mass was soon steaming. “Now, den, we will add some dumplinks to dem, an’ de dish am completed,” he said. It is a lebely dish, if yer only knowed how to makeit. i learned toeatdat dish down in St. James parish, in. Louisiana, on Master Rockwell’s place, thirty years ago... Duwn there, though, we got somepin’ worth cook- in’—not dese little things. Down dere de snakes grows bigger—thick as yer arm. ‘De skins,” he continued ‘we sells to Voudoo womenin Sullivan and Thompson streets, or aroun’ here. Dey give us twenty- two cents apiece for’em, an’ sell’em again fur charms. De colored tee wear dem aroun de armor ankle. now an awful pretty yeller gal who had a'splendid place on Fifth dvenue, and her mistress had kep’ her eyer since she was a little girl. One day she see the girl’s arm, an’ there, near the vaccination mark, was the skin ofa little snake.” tie bared his own arm, around which was the skin ofa beautifully-colored snake, the bright hues of which haa been brought out by oiling and curing. “*Taint everybudy dat knows how to cule dem right, but Ido. Well, det gal got pack- ed ter onst. It nearly gave her niistress a fit. Someskins is wuth $20 an’ more if it is a large snake,. Dey comes from Virginny. Kentuek and Louisiana. De bead mus’ ailers be kep’ withthe skin. Some high- toned couns who isin favor in the big faro- vanks have lubly skins about ’em.” ~**What does *‘skimeree’ taste like?” “OQ, nice. It has a gamy flavor like coon. Dis’ll soon be dun—iaste it yersel’, It’s nice, Iteli yer, bossee,” and the vld man seemed a trifle indiguant as the reporter departed. ‘a * ENGLISH BOYS.

The death of the Comte de Cham- bord aud the deings of France in Madagas- ear and ‘Tonquin have, it is true, afforded some relief to the severely-taxed journalistic ‘mind, and have been the occasion for many eloguent Romilies on the shortcomings of France. ‘There has been much shaking of the editorial head (metaphorically speaking) over the inherent weakness of the French character; and many congratulations among those who, a year ago, Were appiauding Tel- el-Kebir, that we, at any rate, are not like these godless Frenchmen. ‘The London papers, accordingly, have been engaged in the task of making bricks without straws and of concocting literature for their readers out of most unpromising material.

These parents, oue and ail, declare that their sous have been brvught up ignorant of any trade, on the assumption that they were going tw get their living by some ‘‘genteel”” occupation. The consequence is that whenever a vacancy arises in a ‘‘genteei” culling, there are hun- dreds of applicants equally competent to fill it. Thus one correspondent relates that a situation of clerk at the splendid salary otf £30 ($150) per annum, being vacant, there were over 2,100 applicants, And the best positions of this kind-in London, Mauches- ter, and others of our large cities are filled, not by young Englishuwen, but by young Germans, who come over in swarms every year, who are better educated thau our young men, and who wili work longer hours for smalier pay. The condition, indeed, is seri- ous enough, for London is already full of idle young men, who have rmges to do, and who often go fast “to the bad.” The correspondents nearly all bave a child-like faita in “the colonies,”” What they imagine ‘the calonies”’ to be like it is not easy to say for they seem to think that, if ship-loads of pe Pod Sage de ARS | ae a i 9 tag A ee te ee hi % J Tia te “ +. 2 Be ~' le cof sf : a ay “ss * .

My resignation has brought this about. I tell you candidly things are looking pretty blue there just now. Old Greash, the Postmaster-General, you know, telegraphed me as soon as he received my little note.

Two of the Hage Creatures Slain After a Most Kxciting Combat, From the Los Angeies Times. About a week ago Peter Warner anda fisherman started,out on a fishing excursion in asmall buat. They carried with them a Winchester rifle and a shotgun, in order to possibly bag some of the game that abounds in the laguna, which extends some three miles inland from the shoreand from whence it is necessary to embark. They had rowed out but a few miles when two whales of the bottle-nosed species were espied a short distance from the boat. Mr. Warner im- mediately grasped his rifle, fired and appar- ently wounded one of them. Infuriated, the monsters lashed the water into foam and made desperate efforts to reach them. After a sevond and a third shot a viial spot in one of them was reached and oaly one was left to combat with. He then began firing at the remaining one, but, though wounding it several times, it seemed utteriy impossible to seriously disable it. It made the most furious attacks upon them and, with dis- tended jaws, it seemed at times as if about to engulf boat andall. Twelve shots were fired into it and still it continued its on- siaughts. It slashed and foamed, spreading heavy spray in ail directions, and nothing but the most skillful management Kept the boat at a safe distance from its fury, Now and then it would pluage under the water, endeavoring to get under the boat and send it skywara, but the steady “old salt” man- aged each time to whirl the boat beyond its reach. : The situation was growing serious, as the cartridges in tne rifles were exhausted, and it seemed well-nign impossible to reload while the monster was making such furious attacks. While attempting ita sudden on- slaught of the whale made it necessary to use the shotgun, and Mr. Warner fired hastily, discharging both loads right into the face of the monster. lt was a most fortn- nate shot,.as it took effeetin the eyes of the whale and must totally biindedit. The pain served to increase its ferocity, but its efforts were now futile, and it was an easy matter to row a sale distance, when the rifle was re- loaded and the beast killed at leisure. I HAVE HEARD AGLAD BIRD SINGING. I have heard a glad bird singing Spring’s first burst ol joy; Watched two maies the nest home-bringing, Songful, sweet employ: Heard four downy nestlings calling Through the leaves of June; O’er an empty nest heard wailing, Oh, so soon! so soon! June’s fair flowers in full completeness, As from snowdrifts strayed, Boomed—but oh, how soon their sweetness, Beauty, all could fade!" Gold-bright leaves came earthward falling, Crickets grieved below: Cold, wild winds came downward calling Armies of the snow. Oh, a face whose dearest smi Once was mine alone, Many radiant hours beguiling, Cold and strange has grown. Bright, glad hopes like waves came leaping ‘er lite’s sands to me; Coyly turning. backward creeping, Left me tauutingly, Yet the = ag brings a#ways singing, Jhne her roses, too; Hearts are mine, and hopes come bringing Joys as sweet and true, So I know, though treasures taken Leave us desolate, Faith et remain unshaken Wii we ting wait. triumph. was liable to prove* rather too expensive. The convention was called to order by John Clark, who, after expressing the hope that the very best material in the party would be selected for the nominee, called upon D. P. Rowland to act as temporary chairman. Mr. Rowland felt sutise fied that there was wisdom enough in the conven- tion to select a candidate who will sweep the city. After some delay a committee on credentials was appointed, and a recess of twenty minutes take during which short speeches were made by A. N, De Menil, R. M. Parks, Breck Jones, H. B. Davis, John Rude and ax Sloan. The laiter took occasion to berate the silk- stocking Democracy, who never attend primaries but are beard of in indignation meetings on Change, Hw was requested to “OHEESE IT!” by several delegates who thought that the speaker was treading on dangerous ground. The commit- tee returned, having selected D. P. Rowland for permanent chairman and T. 8. McPheeters secre- tary. The same committee had also prepared a frame of resolutions. It leaked out that the police troubles had been touched upon in the document, and at once there was an effort made to suppress them. Tom Morris thought that the committee had arrogatea too much to themselves, They had nothing to do with resolutions whatever. An effort was made to have a committee ap- pointed of one from each ward. A full half hour was spent in wrangling, and at last a German delegate blundered jnto the solution of the diffi- culty by moving to m4 the report upon the table, and there it went with a yell. A delegate from the Twenty-second Ward, promptes by A. N. DeMenil, moved that no reso- utions be passed by the convention. This was carried, and a troublesome matter was thus dis- posed of. The wards were then called for nominees, after & proposition to refer the matter toa committee by Tom Hennessy had been defeated. The Fourth Ward, by H. Davis, nominated Ed- “— paeven. w ne Eighteenth Ward Max Sloa Thomas Ryan, sige ee The Twenty-second Ward, py J. McAully, sub- mitted the name of Bryan J. Woodward. Clarence Hoblitzelle nominated Ed. Clifford, the chief deputy of the City Collector’s office. Clif- ford was looked upon asthe dark horse. The ballot was taken with some show of enthusiasm, Clifford running very well, but Ryan having a strong lead. After the roll call changes set in for Ryan sorapidly that the secretary could not keep the run of them, and the nomination was then made by acclamation. The convention immedi- ately adjourned. THE NOMINEE, Thos. Ryan, isan old citizen whoretired from business some years ago, having amassed a fortune. He has never held office, but has al- ways contributed freely of his means to the good of the Democratic party. It is due to Mr. Clifford to state that, although his bame was mentioned as a candidate, he him- self never desired, and was not a candidate.

The Pensioners’ Benevolent Union held an important business meeting at Bam- berger’s Hall on Sunday afternoon. The following resolutions were adopted: Be it resolved, that the Pensioners’ Bureau of Missouri, deeply deplore the unwise and unjust laws governing the sale of the public lands within the jurisdiction of the General Government, whereby aswarm of foreign aliens, self-styled noblemen, are per- mitted to invest their ill-gotten wealth, which has been wrung from the sweat and blood of millions of downtrodden humanity, to usurp the rights of American citizens, by organizing and _ establishing vast cattle ranches on the public domain; arrogating millions of acres of American territory, with- out even being required by our laws to pro- fess allegiance to the General Government. Be it further resolved, That in view of such pernicious and dangerous legislation that we earnestly demand of our representa- tives in the National “Legislature at their next session, to repeal such ob- noxious features of laws relative to the sale of public lands as _ shall forever debar the representatives of despot- ism from making our free republic a pasture for sheep and cattle as illustrated in the con- dition of unhappy Ireland. And be it further resolved that our cordial sympathies are extended to every sirug. gling nationality for self-government. and in the present crisis of unfortunate Ire. land we desire it to be understood that in 'her heroic efforts for national life and ‘liberty our heartfelt wishes are for her final By the Committee. Joun Tosrn, Chairman, R. T. Bropuy, JAMES BARCLAY, Committee. The committee appointed to wait on Fed. eral officials made the following report: To the President and Members of the P. B. U. of Missouri: Your committee appointed to wait on Federal officials beg leave to report, that on the 8th inst, they called upon Coileetor C, M. Whitney, and as per instructions made known the object of their visit. The com- mittee had a very free interchange of views, and were courteously and kindly received by Mr. Whitney. He also instructed us in the manner that appiications shuuid be pre. sented and promised that such applications would receive due consideration whea prop- erly indorsed and presented by the execu- tive committee of this Union, He also ex- pressed his warm appreciation of the ser- viees of the soldiers of the late war and con- sidered it nothing but right that such men should have the preference, everything else being equal. On behalf of the committee, CHARLES R. Lovcu. The following resolution was offered by Comrade Brophy, and adopted: Whereas, Our old commander, General W. T. Sherman, is about to retire from act- ive duty and to live and die in our midst; an Whereas, Two decades have passed since we severed our connection with him as com- mander.

ee ee How the Office of Prosecuting Attorney was Offered for Sale. Gideon Bantz Might Have Had It for $1,000. The Governor will Appear Before the Grand Jury. Circuit Attorney Harris’ Letter to Crittenden— The Writ of Certiorari in the Court of Ap- peals—The Proceedings—Latest Develop- mentse To-day’s developments in the police embroglio add a new interest to the matter. The writ of certiorari prayed for by Col. Campbell's attorneys, Messrs. Hitchcock, Chandler, Joy and Lodge, in the Court of Appeals, was argued to-day, A full account of the proceedings will be found below. The speeches of the counsel were of much interest and the whole case deserves close study as affording one solution to the difficulty, The meeting of the Board of Police Commission- ers occurs this afternoon, and its outcome is most eagerly looked for by everybody. A forecast-of the proceedings is impossible, as 10ng as Mr, Cleveland’s friends will persist in the most con- tradictory assertions as to his intentions. The interest in the situation was greatly in- creased by the rumor that a “certain arty” had told Mr. Gideon Bantz, the well- nown attorney, that for a thousand dollars he could have the position of Prosecuting Attorney of the Court of Criminal Correction. What Mr. Bantz has to say upon the subject will be found below. Mr. Maxon’s testimony before the Grand Jury wasa veritable bombshell. Everywhere about town could be heard excited discussions as to the Governor’s connection with the gambling ring, supported by quotations from the evidence printed by the PostT-DIsPATCH. Public attention is more than ever concentrated upon the Four Courts, and further develo pments are anxiously expected. The Bantz Case. In his letter to the Governor requesting his ap- pearance before the Grand Jury, Circuit Attorney Tarris asks that Crittenden bring with him all the papers in regard to the application of Gideon D Bantz for the office of Prosecuting Attorneyof the Court of Criminal Correction, and the papers in connections with James R. Claiborne’s appoint- ment tothe same office. In connection with the mention of Mr. Gideon; D. Bantz’s name, those who are best posted tellthe following story. A well-known Democratic politician called on Mr. Bautz and asked him whether be would like to be prosecuting attorney of the Court of Criminal Correction. Mr. Bautz. whoisa well-khown lawyer, said he would. “Then,” said the gentleman, “you can get the place If you raise $1,000. There are cer- tain influences which I can control, but itjrequires the amountof money mentioned to secure them. Wall you do it?” Mr. Bantz was inclined to accept the proposition, and he so stated, according to the story told on the street. The gcentleman who had so delicately hinted the matter then vook bis departure. The story goes further, to the effectthat Mr. Bautz eonsuited his friends as to whetuer it was a wise thing to look for the office, and it ii were, Wio0 was the best man w look to inthe matter. He was told that Mr. Joseph McEntire. the Coal Oil Inspector, had a great deal of influence with the Governor, and that his kind words had better be secured immediately. The rumors further go to the effect that Mr. Bautz calied upon Mr. McEntire, and asked him whether he was pledged to anybouvy, as far as his support went, in regard to the office men- tioned. Mr. McEntire saidhe was not. The in- terview, however, it is stated, terminated without the coal ol! inspector making any promises. Soon alter, the gentieman who had first broached the subject of the §1,000 called again on Mr. Bantz. and said that he required the money to se- cure the influence. When he was asked whether Mr. McEntire was acquainted with Mr. Bantz, his standing at the bar and his fitness for the position, the go betweeen replied that McEntire knew all these things, but that he (Me- Entire) never worked for nothing, and that Mr. McEntire was a gentleman whose influence was tobe vaiued in this connection, While matters were pending in this shape, Mr. Claiborne was appointed, and the matter, of eourse, came to ab end. As stated above, this is the way the story is told by those who are apparently well posted. MR. BANTZ was calied uponin reference to the matter. He suid: **] have no desire to discuss these matters or to make statements, in the newspapers. Whether any money proposition was made to me or not, in connection with the office fou mention, I prefer not to _ state. flam summoned before the Grand Jury I, of course, will tell what Il Know. You can say, how- ever, in reference to Mr. Joseph McEntire, that he never nade a money proposition to me; that he never hinted at any such thing. I did ask him whether he was pledged to anybody eise, and he said he was not. No conversation in which money was mentioned ever passed between us, hor Was any such thing ever hinted at. I wish you to say this in justice to Mr. McEntire Furtherthan this I refuse to speak. Ili the Graud Jury wants my testi- mony, of course they can have it.” Mr. Bantz further said that he was very much surprised that Circuit Attorney Harris had con- nected his name with any matter of this nature, as, One afternoon during Fair Week, he and Mr. Harris took dinner together at the Elks’ Club, and that while there Mr. Harris told Mr. Bantz that he could not possibly tive here. He said that his heaith was such as to prevent any such thing Mr, Harris further said: “Mr. Bautz, I want you to succeed me in the office Lnow hold. lf you have sufficient influence with the Governor to secure an appointment from him I will resign and allow youto step in. But if you find you cannot succeed in that way, I will ascer- tain whether Judge Van Waggoner will appoint ou in my stead. If he wiil, I will simply eave thecity and you will stepintomy shoes I want to leave somebody to succeed me, in whom I have confidence.

Inavery short Lime, you can caich up the — work, and be able to take charge of the olice, Proceedings in Court. In the Court of Appeals this morning, after the court had disposed of the morning’s mo- tions, Mr. Henry Hitchcock, of counsel for Chief of Police Campbell, arose and addressed tne court in behalf of his client. “If the court please,” said Mr. Hitchcock, “on Friday last there was filed in this court an information asking for the issue Of a writ of certiorari directed to each of members of the Police Commissioners, coleman: oe them ~ gig to this Court the records of be meeting at which Chief Campbell w;: “ moved from his office.” af iat Mr. Hitchcock hereupon proceeded to state the arguments in the petition.

He saia: *As to the reasons why this court is applied to, I have to say that ordinariiy, of course, the. Cir- cuit Court would be applied to. A mere glance at this petition convinces that there are such* rea- sons. This application involves very grave pub- lic interests. The private right of the Chief of Police is a mere incident, and the question presented to the court is very different from a question ola claim for money. The question involved is the right of a public body over a very large number of tndividuals; it involves a question of the powers, duties and modes of action of a body that is charged with tne preservation of the a ofa large city; it involves the question of how far this body is au- thorized to pass upon the tenure of office of every manin the police force. Will not your Honor ee with me that their interests properly call for the action of a higher court inthe first instance? ‘The of Police Commissioners represents the executive arm of the government; in every emergency of danger we look to the police force for protection. It seems to me that the mere statement of these matters present the very strongest reasons why this court should take jurisdiction. We submit that there is every reason why this court should take up not alone the question whether this man Was lawfully re moved, but should determine what is the limit of the power of the Police Board over all the mem- bers of the police force.’’ Repiying to Mr. Hitchcock’s argument, JUDGE KRUM SAID: “It may seem rather disingenuous on the part of the respondents tO suggest that they have any reference as to where this case should be tried. t must be tried somewhere. If yonr Honors see fitto entertain the application it is a matter wholly within the discretion of the court. The Chief of Police # noihing but a policeman. There has been during the past few years a sort of political apotheosis going on but he is simply a policeman, after all. The proposition is advanced that every case of a policeman who has been removedis to be submitted to this court, because there is a question of. double pay, _be- cause grave public questions are involyed. The case of this individual cannot be distinguished from that of any other policeman. I submit, with all seriousness, that the cround of expedition is the only ground upon which this court can be urged to take cognizance of this application. This court may be of epiuion from the number of cases appealed toit from the Circuit Court that the Circuit Court is overcrowded with business, but so faras the members of the Cireuit Court bar are concerned they bave not, at least for tie past few years, observed such a condition of affairs. The petitioner can have just as speedy a trial in the Cireult Court as he can heve here. The Board of Police Commis- siouers are a public body: their acts are pubile but because they have turned out one police- man without his consent, it doesn’t follow that a convulsion should ensue.” _Mr. Hiicheock, at the termination of Judge Krum’s argument, calied the attention ot the court to the fact that the question involved was not the right of the Volice Board to remove a member of the police force without his consent, but their right to remove without a heariug upon charges only preferred. Judge Lewis, after a moment’s consultation with his associates on the bench, stated that he would announce the conclusions of the court at 2 o'clock. Upon the qu-stions of practice suggested by the application the court was addressed by Messrs. Hitchcock anda Jolin G. Chandler of counsel for the petitioner, and by Judge Krum. Tue court room was well filied during the pro- ceedings of the morning. Chief Campbell, in In mufiti occupied a seul near the door. Others present were; C. Gibson, George Castieman, H. T. Kent. Frank Hicks, John D. Pope; M. W. Huff, Charlie F. Joy, John D. Davis, L. Ottofy, W. B. Tihempson, Joseph Laurie, Fred Wislizenus, G. A. Fiikelu- burg and Mason G, Smith. THE WRIT ISSUES. Upon reconvening court at 2 o’clock, Judge Lewis said: “We have determined to issue the writ, and the question will be, pwhen itis to be returnabie?”’ Mr. Chandler, of counsel for the petitioner, sug gested Thursday. Judge Krum thougit it ought to be made returnable on some day next werk, Monday or Tuesday, stating he would be unabje | to prepare himself to argye the matter as early 4s Thursday. The Court intimated that making tle Writ returnable on Thursday did not mean that counsel would be required to be ready for arvu- meut on that day. anu upon this intimation Judge Krum consented that the writ might be made re- turnable on Thursday. - Crittenden will Come.

FREIGHT BLOCKADE, _ WASHINGTON, October 16.—The President ab- | a And a Possible Coal Famine Threatened by the Strike, - — _ ’ Commerce—A Serious D-fficulty Arising in East St. Louis—To-Day’s Developments in the Strike, The present strike of the switchmen employed on the different railroads running into St. Louis is one of the most mysterious of the many labor troubles which have occurred in this city. Some days ago Mr. Wm. Shea, the yardmaster of the Bridge and Tunnel Company in East St. Louis, Was relieved of his duties. His place was filled by Mr. Edward Duniop, an appointment which was received wiih much dissatisfaction by the men. They had expected that one of their own number,.would be advanced to the vacant place. As soonas Mr. Dunlap as- sumed his new duties, the men made up their minds that they would strike for increasegd pay and shorter time. This was a& #£Mmatter which bas been agitated by the men for some time, and the change in yard- masters merely precipitatea a trouble which had been coming en for some time. The men have been working tor some time past at $65 a month for foremen and §2a day for switchmen. These Wages were settled sometime ago, and the rail- road Managers were under the impression that the men were perfectly sat- isfied. Events have roved that this was not the fact. The switechmen have been dis- cussing the matter for more than a month back, and it was decided to make this strike shortlv before Christmas week. A number of helpers in the Bridge and Tunnel Company struck when Duniap was appointed, and these men at once went to work to spread the trouble in the other yards. They were so successful that on Saturday a notice, anonymvuus, was addressed to the managers of each road, demanding $75 per month for foremen and $65 a month for helpers & month to consist of twenty-six working days of ten hours each. Sundays to be paid tor at the rate of $2 83% a daytor foremen and $2 50 for helpers; overtime to be paid for at 30 cents an hour. An auswer to this request was demanded upon Monday noon. The RAILROAD MANAGERS of the, roads centering in East St. Louis met to prepare for concerted action in the premises, and considering that the de- mands of the men were not signed by any respon- sible persons no attention would be paid to the circular. Atnoon yesterday tue men struck and the different roads at once begau making prepara- tions to meet the strike. Men were brought in from the country, and afew of the men refused to go out with the strikers. Thus the move- menut of trains to-day, although greatly im- peded, has not been’ entirely suspended, as or yet, even every seriously impeded. There is great danger to-morrow of a treight blockade, because the Bridge Compary is notable to take cure of the business offered, and freight is accumulating at a very dangerous rate in East St. Louis. None of the reads have stopped eceiving treight, but some of them are very seriousiy consiiering that step. There is no road runbing into East St. Louis that is not doing a business very nearly equal to the fuli facilities of its equipment, and anything that disturbs the nice arrangements of business will throw the whole freight sa, oe of the road Inio the utmost contusion. Indeed, one gen- eral treight agent remarked to a Post- DISPATCH reporter this morning that while one, or even two days, of a strike in tue yurds at East St. Louis might be tided over’ without much difficuity, a strike prolonged much beyond ihat limit wouid paralyze the business of tne whoie road, A FREIGHT BLOCKADE. Mr. Flint, the manager v1 tic Fieight Bureau, who has studied the situation very carefully, eu- tertains the gravest fears of a freight biockade: “] do not see,” he said, “how it is to be avoided if the strike continues for any _ time. You see a very smail disturbance in detaiis is enough to throw the freigut machinery of a rail- road into serious difficuities. And once a great deal of freight accumulates it takes hard work and brain to restore order.” Mr. Tausey of the Transfer Company does not anticipate any serious trouble as yet. The Trans- fer Company ts bringing across aDout 250 carloads a day. and could beat that figure on a squeeze. The railroad men generally agree that the chief point of danger is in the bridge. It cannot move the cars over the river as fast as —y! are Offered. Its resources are certainly crippled by the strike, and, as a consequénce, East St. Louls will fill up with freight, just as has happened many times before in the history of thattown. With every- thing at its best aud smoothest the resources of the bridge are taxed to their uttermost to do the business offered, and a very iittle dis- turbance will be felt for a long time. A PostT-VISPATCH reporter crossed over to East St. Louis this morning, where very few of the strikers were to be found. Most of them were on the St. Louis side, attending the meeting, Some of the general officers of the Chicago and Alton Railroad arrived iu East St. Louis this morning, brought over by the gravity of the situ- ation. They have had no tormal conference with the strikers as yet, aud, while they say that they will abide by the action of the other roads, they are very anxious to have the strike terminated. Mr. William Murdoch, one of the ex-C. & A. switchimen, told the reporter thal the Chicago and Alton was in a very bad condition to resista strike just now, as business Was unusually brisk withit. “This is no new demand that we are inaking,” he said. “We have asked. those wages before, and it is only right that we should getthem. Sull if it haa not been for that trouble in the Bridge Company’s yards about Shea and Duulap, 1 dop’t think the strike would have come off for some time yet, A great many of the men are notin the best possible fix to stand a long freeze out.” ‘“] hear the railroad companies are bringing men in from the country to take your places?” “Yes, but as soon as they come in they join us and quit work. You willsee in a little while that it will be impossible to have the work done. Every switch within twenty miles of St. Louis will be choked up with loaded freighi cars inside of ten days.” A POSSIBLE COAL FAMINE. Mr. E. J. Crandall of the Abbey Coal Mining Company told a reporter that the coal cars were standing still ali along the Vandalia track. The other lines are in much the same condition. Mr. Crandall ointed out that each mine > loads . directly into the cars from the pit, and unless the empty car is there to receive the load nothing can be done. Under the system which obtains in the neighbor- ing mines, nothing can be done, except when the facilities for taking away the coal are present. The Coal Exchange ana the coal pool between the railroads working together, labor to bring to St. Louig day by day from the mines only as much coal is day by day needed. Several times before, a break-down inthe trans- portation has entirely cut off our supply of coal, and with the mines full within easy reach the price of fuel in the city has run up 100 per cent i a few days.” Said Mr. C. L. Chambers: “Yes, there will be the devil to pay if the coal supply is cut off, just as there Was year before last, when the freight blockade interfered with the movement of fuel. The amount let in to town euch dayis calculated with the greatest nicety by the ratlroads, only they never ailow for a possible iuterlerence in the transportation, I sbould say that four days of a strike among the swuchmen in East St. Louis would materially advance the price of coal.” The Situation in East St. Louis. The striking switchmen congregated about the Relay Depot early this morning ahd remained there all day, discussing the situation and prophesying a grand Victory for their Cause be- fore noon to-morrow. The yards of the different railroads centering in East St. Louis are filled to their utmost capacity with freight cars, and a freight blockade of huge proportions must necessarily follow a continuation of the strike another twenty-four hours. The usual bustle and excitement, noticeable in the freight yards where the numerous engines of each yard are engaged in switching is not visible to-day, its place being, supplied with apparently endiess lines / of motionless freight cars. Traffic over all the tracks is entirely suspended, with the exception of passenger trains, Which still con- tinue to arrive and depart on schedule time. The yardmasters of the aifferent roads attempted to work engines this morning and forward perish- able freight to its destination, but their efforts were futile, and they soon abandoned the engines. The Vandalia morning trains brought about sixty switchmen from points af~ng their line to fill the places of the strikers, but the mep without exception joined the ranks of the strikers assoon as they arrived in East St. —_ oo agri ee A —_ = in rogress. er 8 aiso Dro auge forces of men to East St. Louis with no better success than the Vandalla.

The Marshals, however, had not arrived at noon to-day. The strikers deny they will not resume till all the roads ac to their demands, the employes of each road being willing to resume work as soon as their emplovers grant their terms. A large meeting is expected to be held at _Flannigan’s Hall to-night. H., 5 Eee, who attempted to run a freight train off the bridge yesterday afternoon, because aman named Jacobs, who promised to join the strikers and refused at the critical moment, was on the train, had a preliminary examination be- fore Squire Draggon his morning, and failing to urpish $700 bonds was sent to the Belleville jail to await tne action of the Grand Jury. Oharles Allen waived preliminary examination on the charge of attempting to killa striker, and furnished $500 bonds to answer the charge in the Belleville Gircuit Court. Allen isa conductor on the Indiana, Ohio and St. Louis Road, but when the strike was inaugurated yesterday he attempted to run a (freight train. The strikers boarded the train aud attempted to rsuade Allen to abandon the train, using harsh anenage towards him. Allen pulled a revolver and fired at one of the strikers, but missed the intended mark. The enraged mob were with difficulty resiraimed from laying vielent hands on the shooter, but he was finally ledged in jai! without much bodily injury. CITY CONCERNS.

Lawrence has got to resign, for he hag ruined the whole First Regiment. Companies G, Dan E are talking of dispanding. D’s captain has resigned and the members are following suit. It is the same way throughout the First, and even the Third have taken the fever, if they have not got it as bad as the Firstalready. There are rows and fusses on every side, and if Lawrence had any sense he could see bow things are getting on, Lawrence is not the only one, it is the same wa with Slattery and Yocum. At last battalion dri Yecum did not know how to give the commands, He ordered the boys from an order to a shoulder, and similar other mistakes. The only thing he did that night was to read the order and his own name ina loud tone, “H. G. Yocum, Captain and Adjutant.” With Slattery, some of the boys have never seen him. He never comes around like joliy Geo. Chapman. Col. Chapman made a great loss to the First by resigning, and I wish, and so doa great many others—nay, the whole First wishes him back. Heis the only one who can do anything with it. There has got to be a straightening soon or the militia will be a thing of the past, so far as the First and Third Regiments, N. G, M., will be concerned. The night of the Trades Procession the Essex Guards, a colored company of this city, inade a better turnout than any two companies of the First and Third, with the eaception of Coim- pany D, Third Regiment, ana ‘such things as that ought not to be. Military will never be what it its members, a finer boay of men could not be was in the time of old Co. A, N. G. M.; with all of found in the United States. They commanded admiration wherever they went. The hops and sociables were of the finest and highest order. They went into camp every year and had as jolly a time as anybody could. Butnow everything is different, and I tell you there has got to bea change or, as I said before, the militia will be a thing of the past. The leading companies of the First Regiment now are Company A, J. H. Cookson commandivg, and Corapene D, of which A. Shapleigh is captain. e leading companies the Third are D, Walridge, and G, or Branch Guards. The last two have fitted up their room at the cost cf eight hundred to tweive hundred dollars.

What has come over the spirit of loyal Kansas that its citizens should be making war upon the humble colored man who Is seeking to secure his share of the Public School fund? Here is a story from Wyandotte County to the effect that a negro named Hawer, who had committed the indiscre- uon of sending acouple of his children to the county school, was waited on by a band of dis guised rufflans at midnight and forced to swear that be would relinquish his claim to have nis cbilaren educated ai «publie expense.

Hook’ Managers Immigration Department.} Those of our readers who are familiar with the topography of Galveston County are aware that it lies immediately on the Gulf of Mexico and has an area of 673 square miles, anda population ex- ceeding 35,000, The*assessed value of its taxable property in 1882 was $18,661,249. The county has a bonded debt of $417,000, ana levies a tax of sixty cents on the $100. Inthe county outside of the city thereisa scholastic population of 531, for whom public free schools, of aprimary grade, are provided. Thecounty haSan area of about 320 square miles on the mainland, and also embraces within its limits the Island of Galveston and Bolli- var Peninsula, each about 27 miles long, the form- er with an average breadth of 24% miles anu the latter of 3 miles, Galveston Bay, East Bay and. West Bay, Its land surface isan alluvial plain, rising by easy gradients from the several water lines, and traversed by long and gentle swells and depressions, like those of its water surface when subsiding after a heavy blow. Galveston Island, Iving northeast and southwest, parallel with the mainland, is separated trom it for about 18 miles of its length by Bay, 2 miles in width. which hardly ex- ceeds a depth of 6 feet anywhere. Between the east of the Islandand Bolivar Peninsula, is « nar- row pgssage, about 2 miles in width at mean low tide, which constitutes the inlet from the Gulf to the tidal basin formed by the three bays named and Trimity Bay. The areaof thefour bays is 451 square miles, but the harbor proper is confined to Galveston and Bolivar Channels, which togeth- er constitute an area, according to surveys made by the United States Engineering Department, of 3% square milés.with a minimum depth of 15 feet, and a maximum depth of 57 feet. Allowing 500 feet square of sea-room for each vessel, the har- bor proper would furnish secure anchorage for 380 deep draft vessels. The present available wharf frontage on Galveston channel, which runs northeast and southwest along the island,is about 6,400 feet in length, and according to estimates made by Capt. H.C. Ripley. assistant U. 8S. En- gineer, this frontage could be increased to 15,000 feet at a very moderate expense. Itis the opinion of Major 8S. M. Mansfield, U.S. Engineer in charge of harbor and river im- rovements on the coast of Texas, that the prob- em of deep water over {hese bars has been solvea by the jeity system, and that 20 feet of water from Gult and harbor may be considered as assured, while a depth of 25 feet is not beyond the bounds of reasonable expectation. It is to beghoped that the next Congress will see the wisdom and propri- ety of making liberal appropriation for this im- portant work, in which all the trans-Mississippi country is deeply Interested. The mean annual rainfall is 51.83 inches. and the seasons are generally very favorable. Frost and ice are seen only fora few days, and that at long intervals in mid-winter. The country is con- sidered to be as healthy as any locality in the United States. On the east end of the island, with an available wharf froniage of three miles on the harbor prop- er, is situated the city of GALVESTON, chief port on the Gulf of important commercial center in the State, rival of New Ovieans, and most pro- ressive city in the. great Southwest. he site was originally a treeless plain, but is now crowned with perpetual verdure. Many of its broud streets are ornamented with a luxuriant growih of the evergreen, and bright-bloomed oleander, which there attain the proportions of a tree, and numbers of the private residences are embowered in groves of the orange, the lemon, the fig, the oleander, and frequently tne stately live oak and other indigenous trees. The gardens everywhere are especiaily conspicuous for the variety and splendor of- their. plants, some of which in that equable insular climate, bloom in the open air the year around. From its eastern to its western iimits, a distance of four miles, the city extends across the island from bay to gulf, and presents to the view many costly and tasteful residences, sudstantial and imposing blocks of business houses, magnificent churches and other pubiic buildings. On the Gulf side, the wide smooth beach forms a firm and beautiful drive for the entire length of the island. ana the surf bathing is ‘not surpassed, if equalled by that of any point on the Guil or the Atlantic or Pacific coast. Thousands of sirangers are an- nually atiracied by the, surf bathing, which is both heathful and pleasant, and now that the Beach Hotei isycompletea, it will become the for- midabie rival Df older established and better known seaside resorts. As yet, but few fine resi- dences are seen along the Gulf, or fronting upon the beach. That the property facing the Gulf will yet be the most desirable residence portion of the city is self-evident, and it 1s safe to say that a few rears hence will see stately mansions and roman- ic cottages adorning the beach for tniles in either direction. The gulf deepens from the water-line at ibe rate of about one fathom to the mile for the first five miles, thence deepening more gradualiv, the ten fathom contour is not reached under twenty miles, ana the twelve and a half fathom contour under forty miles from the coast. Owing to this eonformaifon of the Gulf bottom, the Waves when driven in by high winds are broken,or rather worn down, by the friction of the long in- clined plain, andin a great measure spend their force before reaching the shore. The inerease of the city in population during the past three aecades, the first embracing four years of war and blockade of the port, will serve to suow in equal measure its commercial growth, and its attractions as aplace of residence.

The entire cotton production of the State in 1870 Was 322,777 bales, of which Galveston received a fraction of over 90 r cent, In 1881 the produc- tion of the State was 1,260,247 bales, of which Galveston received a fraction over 55 per cent. Owing to the excessive drouth of 188% the cotton production of Texas was cut short, the entire crop amounting to 875,- 854 bales, of which Galveston received 442,860 bales, Oi more than one-half the product of the State. During 1882-83 she received 880,345 bales. making her the second cotton market of the world, The receipts of import duties at the U. 5.

The relations of the port to the trade of the Pacific coast are shown by the follow- ing: Total distance by rail from San Francisco to Galveston, 2,143 miles. Distance, by shortest line, from San Francisco to New York, 3,124 miles. Difference, in favor of Galveston, 981 miles. It is to be hoped that the different railway interests concentrated there will make common cause in solving the problem of deep water at an early day, as upon that depends the future greatness of Galveston and, in a great degree, the material prosperity, progress and advancement of all the vast country lying west of the Mississippi River and south of the Territory of Dakota, for which Galveston is the natural, best and most available European outlet. The Educational interests of the city are repre- sented by an admirable system of graded public free schools, making ample previsions for a scholastic population of 3,698 pupils. These schools, which are kept open for nine months in the year, are under control of the city authorities and are supported by a special city tax of 20 cents on the $100, in addition to the apportionment of the State school fund. There are also several private schools of high grade, under the manage- ment of competent teachers. Tne city -wiil soon be ornamented by the erection of a beautiful school building out of the fund ($50,000) donated by Mr. Ball, of Ball, Hutchings & Co. The medical branch of the State University with a liberal appropriation of public lands, has been located at Galveston and will be put.in oper- ation atan early day. The citv has a bonded —_ of $1,212,100, and levies a tax of $150 on the In its Social, Moral and Religious aspects, the city presents the happy condition of an old and advauced civilization transplanted in a new and fruittul soil. The result is seen in public senti- ment, elevated and moralin tone, and character- ized by an uncommon freedom from religious and political intolerance, and from sectional and na- tivnal prejudices. The climate is ina very high degree mild and equable, and the local surroundings are ewinently conducive to good health. The yellow fever has not gained a fvothold in the city for the past 15 years, and there is a unanimous concurrence of the highest medical authority in the opinion that the disease is due solely to importations from more southerly latitudes, and that under the en- ergetic administration of wise sanitary and quar- antine regulations, the city may be considered as reasonably free from future incursions of the dread disease, But aside from the above, the material, finan- cial and commercial features, Galveston pos- sesses attractions and advantages no less impor- tant to a certain class, 4. e. the tourist, the seeker after pleasure, comfort and health, as weil as the capitalist seeking safe investments. The magnifi- cent beach for driving. andthe splendid surf batn- ing there afforded, have already brought thou- sands of visitors whose unanimous verdict is that it is ahead of anything of the kind on the Amer- Can continent. As asummer resortitis needless to expatiate at any great length, as all who have visited the beach during the past summer (an ex- ceedingly hot one) agree that any improvement would ve an impossibility as far as the climate is concerned. There is also a splendia opera house, the Tremont, Rielly & Greenwzll lessees and man- agers, which will afford pleasant aiversion to the drama and music loving portion of sojourners and others. The Tremont is a first class theater- having just been renovated, repainted, and fur- nished with new scenery and drop curtains. This in connection with the glittering array of Thes- pian talent secured by the management for the season, insures all visitors an enjoyable method of ages their evenings. There is also Harmony fall, an elegant siructure just completed at a cost of over $100,000. First class dramatic troupes have been secured for this theater also during the season. Among the places worthy of a visit out- side of these may be mentioned the Garten Verein, the cemeteries, the jetties, Lafitte Grove and the Cotton Exchange. Street cars run conventeht to every pointihn the city. The cotton compresses should also be visited by all strangers, as some of the finest and largest presses in the wurld are lo- cated there. Everything about Galveston is indicative of its future greatness, One sees itin the character of the buildings, of the streets and of the men who direct its destinies. Itis buta matter of time, (let us hope a short time) ere deep water 1s se cured upouthe bar. Oace this has been. aceom- lished and she will becometo the South what New York isto the East. A mere newspaper urticle is not sufficient however in which to cive the reader an adequate conception of the variety of interests and industries represented there, and so we think that he can best glean from the Busi- ness Keview appended some idea of the commer- cial greatness of the Island City. We are in- debtea to “Spaights’ Resources and Climate of Texas’ and the “Galveston News” for much yvalu- able data. THE SUPERB BEACH HOTEL has already been the cause of adding very ma- terially to the attractions of the city asa summer and winter resort. This elegan: structure was thrown open to the public on the first day ot July, 1883, and such is its elegance,comfort and superior management,that it has been crowded with guests from the day of opening. The Beach is a four- story structure, built on the most aprcorss plan for seaside hotels. Its exterioris beautiful and the interior is fifted up in royal style. The house contains 250 rooms, is fitted un with all modera conveniences, igs ruu on the American plan, hay- ing alsu a cafe and restaurant, with billiard hall attached. The cuisine is in charge of an artist. and the fine salt water fish and meats from the Texas Continental Meat Company’s slaughter- house at Victoria, form a perpetnal feast. As the climate at Galveston is such that its winter ap- pears as summer tothe demzens of the North, it is the intention of the proprietors to make of it a favorite winter resort. To this end a system of steam-heating apparatus will be putin at once. and every device known to modern hotel comfort will be addea. Being one of the most healthy spots in the country, with a climate un- surpassed, there is no good reason why Galveston should not become a popular resort. The hotel faces the Gulf of Mexico, barely a stone's throw fromthe water. Elegant bath houses have also been erected. The surf-bathing at Galveston. like its thirty-five mile beach, is Unsurpassed, while absolute safety is assured even the most timid or least expert in the art oi swimming. Galveston now offers more attractions as a sum- mer and winter resort than any other place of like nature in the South. Yachting, boating, fish- ing and hunting may also be enjoyed, while the firm, level, sea-washed beach affords the most de- lightiul drive imaginable. J. Harvey Pierce, Esq., late of the Grand Cen- tral Hotel, New York, is the proprietor of this sea- side palace. In the office will be found Mr, A. Simpson, an experienced hotel clerk. BANKING. There are several banks, but we can only men- tion the following; The National Bank of Texas was estabiished in 1866. It bas a Capital of §1v0,- 000, and does a general exchange and collection business, and is one of the most solvent of South- ern banks. Robert J. Jolin, Esq..is cashier, and to him ali letters should be addressed. The gen- tlemen composing this house are yery largely in- terested in Texas lands, and can accommodate buyers on easy terms and at low figures. They desire correspondence on this subject. ; The Texas Banking and Insurance Company does an exclusive banking, exchange and collec- tion business. RK. S. Willis is President and N. B. Sligh, Esq., Cashier. This bank has a capital of $200,000 and a surplus of $25,000, and is one of the most reliable banking houses tn the State. Messrs. Ball, Hutchings & Co. are, however, the Nestors of. Texas bankers, and to this excellent firm of sterling gentlemen are we under many obligations for courtesies and material assistance in the col- lation and compilation of this work. ATTORNEYS AT LAW. ong the many legal firms, we were pleased to fheet Messrs. Gresham & Jones. This firm does a general law practice in all the State and Federal courts, and are amon the leading attorneys of the State. Waiter Gresham, Esq.. of the firm, is the eneral solicitor for the G.

TEXAS LANDS AND CITY PROPERTY. The firm of H. M. Trueheart & Co. is perhaps better known throughout the Seuthwest than any other engaged in the land business, as it has, by a thoroug!) knowledge of the Sgate, location of lands, validity of titles and unsurpassed facilities, coupled with a weil-earned and deserved reputa- tion for dealing honorably with ail, Dbuilt.ip a bus- iness that ramifies the entire State. This firm controls some 3,000,000 acres, lying in nearly every rtion of Texas, and embracing every variety of auds, and are prepared to suit ail classes of pur- chasers with any sized tract ee may desire. They also examine ana adjust titles, pay back taxes for non-resident owners and do a geh- eral land-office business. They also recover lands sold tor taxes, or such as from neglect have lapsed tothe State. Thousands of acres of valuable lands have been lost in this way, much of which may be recovered if the matter is looked into now. Hence it would be well for such as have claims, to ad- dress them, giving tull particulars at once, Ex- cellent opportunities exist at present for recover- ing lapsed lands, and all the wey from 50 to 100 per cent is frequently realized by men who have succeeded in recovering them. Messrs, True- heart & Co, will for a nominal fee, or an interest in the lands recovered, advance money and un- dertake the recovery of lands, either from the State or individuals, where there is a reasonable hope oc: success. They also do a Brokerage business in Texas lands and securities, and will act as agents and trustees for the purchase, sale and management of Texas properties, The offices of. the firm are at No. 60, 22d St.. Galveston, Tex., and the branch office in New York is at No. 150 Nassau, cor. Spruce St., next to Tribune building, where John M. Jones, Esq., the eastern Manager, may be addressed or con- sulted. ARCHITECTURE. Mr. N. J, Clayton has, since his adventin Gal- vestion as an architect, been recognized as one of the most eminent in the southwest, evidenced by the many beautiful and costly structures, to be met with in almost every direction. Hardly a building of any prominence in the ciiy but wnat displays his architectural handiwork, prominent among which is the ep pam ‘Beach’ Hotel— this, together with the Masonic Temple, Santa Fe Raliway office and new Harmony Hall, stand as living monuments of his taste aud skill. There is probably no architect in the country whose work has been more favorably criticised. NEWSPAPERS. The Galveston News, daily and weekly,is by far the best paper in Use State. Lt is eminenily a State paper, enjoys a vast circulation and wields a tremendous ‘ae in politics. Hnterprise is the motto of A. Belo & Co., its publisuers, who fully deserve their magnificent success ip the field of journalism, The Prinéisa spicy, well patron- ized and deserving: aiternoon publication. The Opera Glass is a weekly society paper, an excel- leut journal, Well patronized because ably edited aud managed. There are a number of other weekly and monthly publications inthe English and German language. HOTELS. Besides the Beach, already described, the beauti- ful Tremont Hotei, the finest hotel building in the South, is one of the pleasant features of Galves- ton. Itisa five-story brick structure, with stuc- co facing, having a frontage of 120 feet andadepih of zibieet. It contains some 225 sleeping-rooms, elegautly and luxuriously furnished and ra pointed. Ail modern conveniences, such as Dath- rooms, elevators, electric lights, electric beils and steam-beating apparatus, are features of this house, while its cuisine is unapproachable and the table service ali that can be desired. G@, Mec- Giniey, Esq., is proprietor. Messrs. Marx and Kempner, retired merchants of Galveston, own this magnificent hotel property. These gentle- men have long been identified with the Dest in- terests of the city and State, and have ever been foremost in advancing every project tending to build up their chosen citv. The Girardin, Romanet & Muller proprietors, is couducted on the American and European plans. Owing to the excellence of its table the Girardin has become-a fayorite with the traveling puDdlic, has secured a large and liberal patronage, and is certainly the Delmonico of Galveston. THE JOBBING TRADE _OF GALVFSTON is the wonder of the stranger, Who wili find that no city of its size in the Union can approach ii in volume. But containing such firms as that of Leon & H. Blum and others of like character, any city would be great. This mammoth house,whose equal is not found outside ot New York, St. Louis or Chicago, in either of which citles 1t would rank among the foremost, is the great headquarters of the Southwest for dry goods, notions, boots and shoes, hats and caps, stationery and fancy goods, millinery and blankets. Its drummers penetrate every Pree of Texas. Westera Louisiana, New and Old Mexico, and everywhere throughout the Southwest is this house well and fayorabiy known, Their paiatial business block would attract attention and be an Ornament to any city in the -Union, while all its departments are thoroughly sysitematized and exhibit that commercial acumen 80 necessary for the carrying out of vast enter- prises. it is useless to go into details to write up this establishment; suffice it to say that every facflity exists for transacting the incredibie amount of business which it annually does, Amply supplied with capital and having expert buvers in New York and Boston, this house com- petes with any Eastern firm, and it is only good business sense on the part of interior dealers throughout the Southwest to place orders in their hands, which they can do with the assurance of being made fully satisfied in every mstance. That such a house exists in Galveston should be the pride of Texas, and goes to prove the importance of the Island City as the great commercial metropolis of the Gulf of Mexico. This firm has also accumulated more than one million acres of Texas lands, and conducts a land department which, whiie not selling, is however a great source of revenue and denotes its. solidity and wealth. But few firms in the country exhibit more enter- prise than this. Push, daring and unqualified success is the history of this representative Gal- veston firm. ONE OF GALVESTON’S REPRESENTATIVE FIRMS in the Dry Goods, Notion, Boot and Shoe, Hat and Cap business, is that of Block, Oppenheimer & Co. This mammoth house occupies one of the most elegant punaines in Galveston, at Nos, 62, 64, 68 and 70 Strand. The main building is 90 by 120 feet, four stories in height, ana is literally crammed throughout with a most magnificent stock of all the goods usually carried by a house of this class. Each of the four floors is a depart- meut within itself, the first being devoted to the staples of the trade, the second to Notions, Shawls, Ladies’ and Gents’ Furnishing Goods, Millinery, Stationery, Clocks and, in short, every- thing pertaining to that vast conglomeration of goods styled “Notions.” On the third floor 1s found the Boot and Shoe department, a wholesale house within itself, where every line of foot gear represented. Onthe fourth floor is situated e Mat, Cap, Trunk, Valise and Umbrella de- partment, which is as complete as the rest. Each department is presided over by a competent ex- pert, and the business epegpompasins | systematized with everything working as smoothly as a clock. The firm enjoys a large, lucrative and growing trade in Texas and Old Mexico, employing a great number of traveling salesmen, and and wierever one zoes throughout the Southwest, this repre- sentative firm is well and favorably kuown. The firm has large bodies of excellent land lying in the State, which it will dispose of at from $1 to $10 per acre, on easy terms, hence it would be well for intending locators to address them as above. Country dealers everywhere will do well to order largely from this first-class house when laying in their stock. WHOLESALE GROCERS AND COTTON FACTORS. Prominent among the many excellent firms of Galveston, we find that of Mensing, Stratton & Co., occupying Nos. 152 to 172 Strand. This repu- tabie and strict.y first-class house carries a heavy stock of groceries and plantation supplies. Being amply supptied with capital, and having gained tne confidence of the peopie, they are enjoying a yast and growing trade in Texas and surrounding States. Itis hardly necessary to say to country merchants that this house is the proper one with which to nlace orders. This firm is also among the leading cotton factors in the State. Their elegant cotton roums and superior facilities for handling the staple enables thein to lead in that business, a fact.the country dealers and large lanters will do weil to remember. This house is so wholesale agent for the saie of the products tthe celebrated Anheuser-Busch Brewing Asso- ation of St. Louis, of which institution a corre- spondent recently wrote as follows: “After viewing many of the principal industries of St. Louis, we naturally directed our steps to the amous brewing establishment of the Anheuser- usch Brewing Association, otherwise Known as he BREWING PALACE OF THE WORLD, and was there cordiaily received, and bospitably entertained by its able President aad Manager, Mr. Alolphus Busch, who is justly recognized as the moying spirit of this mammoth institution ticulars concerning its wounderf who ng Browth and business prosperity. brewery was established and to im we are indebted for the following ~ ‘The in 1857, and has sides their marine and life insurance business.. > : ¢ of sa , A : * “ ae. eae 4 Fy ose 9 2 <%. se. u , : o™ = Bog gt Mie i ee va Seca’, maa) m, " bes . a * te Ae pags, ee ee eee yey Py & ie Ae y Ae er a ee oe AS eee z “ ¥ BRS Neier eB dane LESS 8 OT SRA ee iaiaeae a LE 8 ODE AR. aE A e ys 9 \ ~ Ny F - - a “od . oe i pacgileniie aerate 5 CARE fee Sa: 7 “sn 3 | < oe ag pd pers i fand eigarsis very large and well selected, and } & ee bids, ie ge oe a» Ss es gee, te ee WA ee OY Z ; e Te pce Wo EP Pa eS econ, ar 7s ies - & Be : Pe Oe ee ee 7 Fos a) ~ aa . < SBale et) a is € ee -- ff ee : v . rere ee ar ?

No less than seven hundred men are employed in the various departments, Only the best and pe A ingredients enter into the com- position of all beer nfanufactured at this establish- mevt, and not less than 650.000 pounds of hops and 750,000 bushels of malt are consumed anuual- ly. One hundred horses and fifty wagons are required for city business and the total number of wagons used in delivery throughout the south- west is 246. Notless than 308 beer and ive cars are now owned andrun bythe association to transport its products to all parts of the Union, Uanada ana Old Mexico, and the following table shows the increase of product from 1875 to 1883 in- clusive. . * 1) 1883 the sales of botiled beer amounted to 150,000 bods, or 15,000,090 bottles, which is a larger showing than has ever been reachedin anv one year by any brewery in either Europe or Amer- The excellence of the beer produced by this réevutest and most como*lete brewery in the World, is attestea from the fact that it took the gold medal at the Philadelphia Exposition in 4876, and at the Parts Exposition in 1878 it took the first premium over all other breweries in the worki. Whata triumph for America, and whata comment upon the enterprise aud intelligence of the business management of this mammoth in stitution. The Amsterdam (Holland Opened in June, 1883, and is just now closed, has aiSO awarded to the beer of this Association the World’s Prize over all European and Ameriean Breweries. This froma country where the art of brewing has been thought to have reached ab- solute perfection, is the crowning triumph of this great St. Louis Bréwery and speaks louder than Words, spoken or printed, can do, and all America must feel complimented at this distine- tion. It will be borne iu mind that the above re- fers to export Bottled Beer, which has been largely introduced throughout America and Europe, constantly winning golden opinions. It is the design of the Association to, in the near luture, assume the proud title of “Caterers to the Five Wor'!ds.” WHOLESALE LIQUORS AND CIGARS. The most extensive house in Texas in the above line is that of Freiberg, Kiein & Oo., located at Nos. 56 and 7 Strand.

Their Original contract Was to purchase 800,000 cigars anbualivy, bul which amount they had tar exceeded inside of nine months the first year, which nut only speaks well for the cigar, but the push and energy ol this enterprising firm, whose senior member has been connected with distilling for a lifetime, and hence Knows the business thorough- ly. This firm began business in Galveston eight years ago. HARDWARE. Representing this business we find the house@f E. 5. Wood & Son to ve one ef the most ¢xten- sive. It Began bDusiness in 1849 and is, conse- quently, ofe of the old landmarks of Galveston and for upwards of halt a centurv has been prom- inentiy before the trade of the Southwest, occupy- ing a commanding position among the jobbers of that section. The house carries a large stock of Hardware, Wagon Material, ete., which will compare nha with those carried by the leading houses of the eastern cities. As their facilities are first-class and couplea with ample capital, they are enabled to compete with any market iu the country; Dbence it weuld be to the best interests of the country dealers to place their orders with them. This house is locateu at 121 and 123 Strand, COMMISSION AND MANUFACTURERS’ AGENCIES. Geo, M.

Kirkpatrick is manager, and he is extending the trade into the Southeast- ern States, as weillas New and Old Mexico, and he reports business beiug on the increase. Their facilities for supplying railways and manufacto- ries are first-class. WHOLESALE CLOTHIERS. In this line we will mention the house of Half, Weis & Co., which was established in 1872. The house aiso carries ov a clothing manufactory at 466 and 468 Broadway, New York. The firm is wellknown in the Svate, and it is doing a very large business from the fact that it can compete with Eastern houses. In Galveston the gentle- men composing this tirm are Known and regarded as enterprising and pubiie-spirited, and fully alive to the best interests of the place. 8. Jacobs, Bernheim & Co., in the same line, have been engaged in business since 1865. The manufactory of this firm is located in New York City. But few firms carry as heavy and well se- lected a stock as does this in the South, and very few so fully enjoy the confidence of the people. Square dealing, honest goods and the lowest rices are characteristics of their career, which as been one of unbroken success. WHOLESALE NOTIONS. Representing tis - business exclusively find the sole house to be that of Rosenfield & Co., located at Nos. 115 aud 117 Strand, and established in 1866. A very iarge stock of fancy and variety goods, trimmings, cutlery, stationery, toys, etc., etc., 1S constautly carried, and sold at figures that defy eastern competition.

His facilities ror filling all orders are first class, and should be borne in mind by persons in the interior or “ a distance, who may require anything in his ne In this connection it may ve well to call the at- tention of interested parties to the fact that oyster cuiture can be successfully carried on ia the Bay, bayous .and lagoons around Galveston. AS any One engaging in this industry 1s entitled to 10 acres of land. it would be well for suct as desire a splendid business for the future to look into this matter. LITHOGRAPHLING AND PRINTING. In this line, the firm of M. Strickland & Co. Is the leading one in Gatveston. This firm was established in 1858, and has, by a system of fine work and reasonable prices, succeeded in building up @ Vast and lucrative trade in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Old Mexico. All kinas of Litho- graphing is executed in the highest style of art, lucluding Bank and Railway work. One of the most complete blank book manufactories in the South is also a feature of the house, where only lirsi-class work of every variety is* executed. Their facilities for@jsupplying County records, Legal Blanks, ete., are unsurpassed. The house also carries a very heavy stock of Blank Books, Stationery, Inks and{ general office, banking and counting house’ supplies, wnich are quoted at reasonabie figurés and largely soid turoughout the Southwest. This house is situ- ated at lll and 113Strand. Mr. R, E. Koehler is manager and only active surviying partner, and we found hiin a thorough gentleman and business a Lithograph Department under the im- mediate supervision of Mr. M. C. Strickland. FURNITURE. Engaged in this business are Messrs. Simon & Shaw, at 122,124 and 126 Tremont street. They do awholesale and retaii trade, carry an exten- sive and elegant stock of fine and plain furniture” ol every description. together with house and furnishing goods and carpets. Immigrants and others will bear this house in mind after locating in the State, B. R. Davis & Bro. have been engaged in the above business at Galveston, some thirty years, doing a general wholesale and retail trade. Their stock is complete, and comprises everything usu- ally found in a heuse of this Kind, while their fa- cilities are such that they compete successfully with Eastern dealers. Immicrants and others can be fitted out on short notice by this house. DRUGS. In this line we will mention the wholesale and retail house of J. J. Schott and Co., which was es- tablished in 1857. Acomplete stock of drugs, medicines, ete., 1s carried, together with a full line of paints, oils and colors of every description. They also handle all the leading mineral waters and are proprietors of *“Schott’s Conceatrated Es- sence of Ginger and Mace,” a very valuable reme- dy for many diseases. But few houses in the city areas well Known as the above, and certainly none more favorably. Itis by far the largest re- tail drug house of Galveston. Cc, W. Preston & Co. were established in 1872, and carry on a general drug, medicine and pre- scription business, which from the fact that the firm is reliable, has grown until it may be said tu be almost the leading retail house in this line in the city. Only the best of drugs are dis- pensed. The firmis also State agent for Whit- man’s fountain pump for garden and fire purposes and applying, poisonous solutions to the cotton plant. rE. L. Castleton is one of the leading retail drug- gists in the city, located at the corner of Tremont and Market streets. Besides a large and complete stock of drugs and chemicals carried, it is aiso the depot for toilet articles, perfumeries and drug- gists’ notions. Fine cigars are also dispensed, waters from all the noted springs are constantly kept on —— The pre- scription department is in the hands of a regular graduate of pharinacy. CONTRACTORS. The firm of Ricker & Lee enjoy the confidence of the railroads of the State—their work in rail- way construction being regarded as first-class, in- variably giving satisfaction. These geatiemen have taken a prominent part in the construction of nearly all the railways of Texas, and are prepared to doall construction work at shortest notice. MERCANTILE AGENCIES. These institutions have grown to be national necessities, ana we find the oid reliable agency of R. G. Dun & Co., established at Galvestea, with Robert Smith, Esq., as District Manager. Some idea of the magnitude of this institution may be formed from the fact that it has one hundred branches in operation, with nearly 25,000 trained correspondents. For accuracy, itis clalimmed that the abuve agency is pre-eminent. Bradstreet’s well Known and absolutely reliable agency has also a branch at Galveston, in charge of Mr. L. Tracy, to whom all ietters of inquiry and business snould be addressed. By reason of. ably representing so reputable and well known an institution as Bradstreet’s, whicu is fy Anom, as authority in commercial circles, Mr. Tracy hasy succeeded in Dullding up a vast business in the Southwest. COTTON. While nearly all the merchants mentioned hanale more or less of the staple, yet are there many who make of it an exclusive business. Among the latter we will mention Messrs. Wolston, Wells & Vidor, who established themselves in 1865. They reeeive cottoa, wool and hides on commission from interior points, and guarantee the highest market price inevery instance. As this is ene of the longest established firms in the city, as wellasone of iis most enterprising, we would particulariy commend it to all shippers and large lanters. Mr. ©. G. Wells, of this firm, 1s the resident of the Galveston Cotton Exchange. We are under many obligations to Mr. Wells for cour- tesies. Jemison, Groce & Co. have been before the sublic for some ten years, formerly Known as Moody & Jemison. In 1881-82 they handled 17,000 bales from 200 shippers. In 1882-83, not less than 28,000 bales from 300 shippers. Mr. J. Groce is the resident member of this firm, and E. 8. Jemi- son, of E. 8S. Jemison & Co., is in the banking and commission business, at No. 10 U0ld Slip, New York, Skinner & Stone, cotton factors and commission merchants, were established in 1872. They are favorably known throughout Texas and stand high in commercial circies. They receive,on com- mission, hides, wool aud cotton, make liberal advances and will afways guarantee the highest market prices. It would be well for interior shippers to favor this firm with their patronage. Charlies H. Haynes & Co., 155 Strand, are the successors to W. H. Haynes & Co.,of New Or- leans and Galveston. This firm buys and ships cotton and cotton seed oil cake for tue Eu- ropean market exclusively, representing many of the principal English firms, including that of W. H. Haynes & Uo., Liverpool, England. The above name has been prominentiy before the people of the South since 1836, and we bespeak for this vig- orous young firm a successful career. Ww. t. Moody & Co. are among the best Known of Galveston’s cotton factors and commission merehants. They do a general factorage and commission business, and selicitashare of the public patronage, to which they are fairly entitled by reason of their excellent facilities and standing in the community. Col. Moody has recently had erected one of the finest business houses in the South, an linposing brick structure after the, Rennaisance style of architecture. which is now so popular. Col. Moody has ever been foremost in every enterprise tending to build up Galveston. WHOLESALE GROCERY, COTTON AND: COMMIs- BION. Ross, Ellis & Co., an enterprising young firm, begun business Guring the present year, their stock being Men, large, and well selected.

Wholesale Grocers, Im- porters and dealers in Wines, Liquors and Cigars, Tobaceo, Woodenware, etc., were established in 1865 and are doinga safe and solid business throughout the State. They own large bodies of lands in Texas, woich they offer at from $1 W to $25 per acre, upon easy terms. They desire cor- respondence from parties wanting good lands and we guarantee honorable treatmentin every in- stance to such as may have business with them. Messrs. Walis, Landes & Co.’s stock is equal to that of any other house in the city, and their fa cilities for doing business are first-class.

Lord Louth spent three mouths in New- gate in 1811, andthe Marquis of Sligo four months the year following. . Another noble jail-bird was the Earl of Dorset, who was twice married, first to the widow of the Karl of Falmouth,and secondly to the Karl of Northampton’s daughter. He was convicted of highway robbery and mur- der, but which was legaliy called mansiaugh- ter, and he served a term in.Newgate. The Duke of Queensberry, Who was “the greatest libertine and disgusting profligate in the peerage; Lord Townsend, who, penni- less, was imprisoned for a £5,000 gambling debt he could not pay; the saiacious aud filthy Lord Rochester, whose proudest boast it was that he had been continuously drunk for tive years, and Lord Sandwich, who was expeiled from the Beefsteak Club for ob- scenity in 1763—are all types of aristocracy’s, not nature’s, noblemen. And in addition to those we have cited could be added individ- uals whose crimes are not even human. The criminal records tell us, for instance: That Viscount Rochford’ was veheaded along with — Anna Boleyn, Queen of uvgland, for incest.

That Mervin Touchet, Ear! of Castiehaven and Baron Audiey was attainted of felony and “execited on charges found against him of an infamous character.’ That William, Viscount Courten¢y was at the time of bringing forward his Claim to the Earldom of Devon “iaboring under the im- putation of au infamous crime, for whitch a true bill of indictment had been found against him,” and notwithstanding this his claim to the earldom was allowed by the House of Lords, and that in this very year of grace Sir Bernard Burke’s “Peerage aiid Baronetage’’ recites that the Courteney’s are “one of the most illustrious races amongst the English nopility, (and) deduced their pa- ternal descent from Athon, who descended from Manerius, hereditary Count of Sens, who died A.

A grand international potato éxhibition was Opened at tue Crystal Paiace yesterday afternoon by Mr. Aiderman and Sneriff De Keyser in the absence of the Lord Mayor. ‘Len years ago an assuciation was fermed for the encouragement of potato cuiture and the introduction and dittusion of improved varie- ties.
