A Large Increase in Number and Importance Over the Previous Year—The Four-Year- Old Filly Who Started Sixty-Two Times— Paulsen Reduces the Skating Record. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, February 4.—Although it may be somewhat late to present the total results of the racing by American bred horses in 1883, considering that the season of 1884 has already advanced to its secongjmonth, they are, however, now given for the first time and are from the advauce sheets of the subserib- ers’ edition of Kirke's Guide to the Turf,“ which the compiler hopes to have ready to issue by the 20th inst. The racing season of 1883 began at Memphis on January 1 and endedat New Orleans on December 29, be- tween which dates a total of 25,58 races were run in the Unjted States and the Dominion of Can of which 240 were either hurdle races or steeple chases. The races ran abroad numbered 193, of which en- ly 35 were won, viz: Twenty-two in England, 7 in France, 1 in Ireland and5 in British Guinea. Ot the 2,588 races run in America 176 of them.were runon the Pacific Coast and 83 in Canada. As it is impossible to give space to a full table showing the number of races run at all the several distances, includ- ing those run abroad, they are compiled as follows and presented with a similar table showing the number of races runin Great — under the jurisdiction of the Jockey lub: DISTANCES. Under six furlongs, dashes and heats, in the United States, 386; in Great Britain, 821. Six furlongs and under a mile, dashes and heats, in the United States, 531; in Great Britain, 241. Ata mile, dashes and heats, in the United States, 037; in Great Britain, 344. Over a inile and under two miles, dashes and heats, in the United States, 698; in Great Britain, 202. Two miles and under three miles, dashes and heats,in the United States, 81; in Great Britain, 75. Three miles and over, dashes and heats, in the United States, 8; in Great Britain, 15. Total — In the United States, 2,341; in Great Brit- ain, 1,698. Note— There were no heat races run in Great Britain] The great contrast between * E * coun- ries must not lead to enthusiasm or be misunderstood. ‘The total races in America include races of every from the meetings of the great elubs small scurrys at agricultural fairs, while the foreign total only 1 the meetings run under the rules of jockey clubs, of which only official zance is taken, but few of the small meetings being reported. There were 454 heat rates run during the year, with a total of 1,125 heats, of which 123 races were at haifa wile, 48 at thr uarters of a mile, and 210 at a mile. he 252 races (240 in America and twelve abroad) won “bet ween the flags or over hurdles were divided as follows: The jsteeplechases were run at Je- rome Park, Sheepshead Bay, Monmouth Park, Saratoga and Brighton Beach, the several courses in the West, over the courses ofthe Hull Clubs, at Rockaway, Garden City, Brooklyn and in Canada, England and France. DISTANCES OVER HURDLES. At one mile and under, dashes and heats twenty; mile and a quarter aad un- der a mile and a half, __ thirty- three; mile and a half. and under two miles, forty-four; two miles and over eight; steeple-chases, 147. Total, 252. The increase of jumping races in 1883 over the total of 1882 was comparatively small, the differance being only eleven races, ow- ing tothe greatly reduced number of such races run at Brighton Beach. In flat races, however, there was a great increase, 263 more races having been run in 1883 than in 1882. There were sixteen races run that re- sulted in “‘dead-heats,’’ for which the mone was divided, and eleven were “run off.” There were twenty-seven matches, none of which were of an special importance, while of “‘walkovers’ there were seventeen, one of which was by Mr. Lorillard’s Massasoit in England. The number of horses in training that ran during the year were 2,162, of which 1,543 were horses of known breeding, and 619 the breeding of which is said to be unknown, or was not reported. The total number of horses that won races, the breeding of which is known, is 804, with 126 winners among those the breeding of which is unknown. The total number of starters in all the races run during the year was 13,629, of wiich only 964 were horses of un- known breeding. in no way is the great increase of racing shown more starters than in the total of the number of starters, the excess in 1883 over the total of 1882 being 2,217, which is not surprising in view of the great number of racesrun by some horses, the 4-year-old filly, Ida B., by Monarchist, starting no less than sixty-two times. THE WINNINGS. The gross total value of the races won dur- ing the year also shows how large is the in- crease not only in the number of races run but in their increased value, the total for the year amounting to $1,328,936 75, as against a total of $1,146,121 75 in 1882, $987,284 in 1881, and $800,- 686 75 in 1880. Of the gross to- tal won in 1883 $26,112 50 was won in En- gland, Ireland and France, $1,614 was won in British Guiana, and $18,903 in Canada, which leaves a balance of $1,282,307 25 won in the United States, The amount of money contributed to the grand total by horses of unknown breeding was $23,867 30, which alone shows the comparative unimportance of such races, although it must be said that without a doubt a number of such races are won by good horses with established pedigrees, but whose owners for purposes scarcely honest, disguise their horses with an assumed name and at places where they are not known win races from inferior horses without being detected. The liberal purses now offered by regular racing associations have toa great extent puta stop to such dishonorable practices, but yet there were several such cases in 1883. u, the and The Norweglan Skater. New Tonk, February 4. — Axel Paulsen, the Norwegian skater, succeeded Saturday lowering all known amateur skating records from one to twenty-five miles. The test speed and endurance was made at Wash dbo Park, Brooklyn. The course vas one-quarter of a mild in circuit and Paulsen had to make 100 rounds to complete the dis- tance. The air was mild and clear, the sun warm, and was the cause of softening the ice so much that bis skates cut deep into it at every glide. The officials were: Referee, Wm. B.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YorK, February .4.—Mrs. Keim, a young Brooklyn widow, was married some years ago to Mr. Charles Ergensinger, a butcher. Mrs. Keim had by her first hus- band a daughter, Elizabeth Susanna. Short- ly after the wedding Mr. Ergensinger, aided by his wife, opened an elaborate butcher shop on Third avenue, Brooklyn. Ina year or two Mr. Ergensinger sent for his young brother, Gottlieb, whom he had left in Ger- maby. The brother, a mere boy, arrived in Brooklyn, and Mrs. Ergensinger, who comes from an old Long Island family, undertook to teach him English. The boy and Mrs. Ergensinger’s daughter grew up together, and their friendship ripened into love. At 17 Miss Keim was a beautiful blonde, with deep blue eyes and a luxuriant growth of yellow hair. Young Gottlieb at 21 was a fascinating German youth. Finally Gottlieb proposed to Eliza- beth and was accepted. He then asked his sister-in-law for the hand of her daughter in marriage. Mrs. Ergensinger thought they were too young to marry, and requested them to wait. In October last Miss Keim visited her grand-parents at Deer Park, Suffolk County, L. I., where she remained a week ortwo. Gottlieb went with her and remained three days. It is alleged that he informed the grandmother that he and Eliza- beth were man and wife, and the old lady, who was aware of their engagement, did not — 1 that they had been duly married. ttlieb then told his sweetheart that they would de obliged to sustain the role of hus. parte wile in order to keep up the decep- tion. young girl objected, but her lover, she declares, swore that they would get mar- as soon as they returned to * his promise to marry her, marry her. She then stl and stepfather of what had transpired, and they beseeched the young man to re the girl, but he positively refused. A suit for $10,000 damages was at once instituted in the City Court and is still pending. Mr. Ergensinger turned his young brother out of his employ, and Gottlieb started a butcher shop a block or two above his brother’s establishment. About six months ago Mary Ergensinger, a second cousin of the brothers, came to this country in company with a young man to whom she was engaged to be married. She is a dashing brunette. It is alleged that Gottlieb persuaded her to discard her emi- grant lover and, under the promise of mar- riage, it is said, he also betrayed her. In her affidavit on file in the Supreme Court, Brook- lyn, Mary swears that Gottlieb gave her money and told her to visit a woman in For- syth street, this city, who performed an operation. The giri is suing the woman for $20,000 damages in consequence. Gottlieb is said to have paid the woman $60. It is said that Gottlieb then visited the girl’s old lover and 2 him $200 if he would marry her. he marriage ceremony was performed, and Gottlieb paid $81 on ac- count. The girl Will be a witness in the suit brought by Miss Keim. Mary visited the office of Mr. enry T. Meyenbgrg, the counsel for the plaintiffs in both cases, on Wednesday last. While there she wastaken ill and sent tothe hospital. She gave birth to a child, which afterward died. District Attorney Ridgeway, who will act as counsel for the defendant, says that his client has a good defense. BEAT THE WRONG MAN. The Outcome of a Dissatisfied Fathere- In-Law’s Dark Scheme. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, Gos RN, N. X., February 4.—An odd se quel to a strange marriage is reported from Middleton. About two weeks ago the 1K. year-old daughter of Charles Godfrey of that village was married to Wm. Strong, a man many years her senior. The father of the child had strongly opposed the marri- age, but the mother, who had herself made the match, compelled its consummation, in the face of the protest of the local press and public opinion. Every minister in Goshen was applied to to perform the ceremony, but all refused, and Rev. Mr. Clark of Middletown finally married the ill- mated pair. They lived in apartments with Mrs. Godfrey on the second floor of a build- ing on Main street, Middletown. Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey have not lived together since the marriage, but he was found BLEEDING AND UNCONSCIOUS in the haliway at the foot of the stairs lead- ing to his wife’s apartments a few nights o He declin to give any er- anation of how he _ röcelved his injuries, but the facts in the case have since been made “public. It seems that Godfrey had been planning some means of revenging bimself ou the man who had married his child, and one night last week proceeded to carry @it a plan he had formed. Eugaging the services of two stal- wart e went with them te the building on Main street. The P was for the negroes to remain int hallway at the foot of the stairs, wasto go up stairs, knock at the door of Strong’s apartment, and when he opened the door seize him and THROW HIM DOWN STAIRS. Before he recovered from his surprise men below were then to fall upon him beat him as they chose. frey went up stairs and knoc at the door, but i of Strong answering the knock, Mrs. frey came to the door. Divining at once that Godfrey was not re for any peaceful pur- pose, she knocked or pus him down stairs. 8 the bottom, and the ramme e dark

A Sweeping Reduction of 20 Per Cent on Al! Importations—Tex! of the Measure—Car- ligie-R-fuses to Enter the Senatorial Race —Capital Notes. — — — WASHINGTON, D. C., February 4.—Representa- tive Morrisoa completed his tariff bill this morn- ing, and during the call of States introduced it in the House. The biil was prepared last week, with the exception of placing a few articles on the free list, concerning which Mr. Morrison was uude- cided. A reduction of 20 per cent is made in nu- merous articles, while in a few cases the reduc- uon is greater or less than this rate. A provision prevents any reductioa to 4 rate lower than in the Merril! act of 1861.

The contrast between the prosecutor and the defendant was marked by every oue in the crowded court room. For the first time in years bis system bad lost its regular supply of whisky, owing to his incarcera- tion in jail, and his face was iq consequence of that peculiar pallor which follows sudden and enforced abstinance. The prosecuting witness, Susie Parker, is afresh, pretty girlof 17, infatu- ated with the libertine just whom sbe very unwillingly gave her testimony. Mrs. Parker, the mother of the girl, 9 court with her wayward daughter. She was dressed in mourn- ing, wearing ber hair in waves over ber forehead. Every eye was turned onthe mother, who was overwhelmed with trouble, and the thougntless daughter whose conduct was a close approach — giddiness, though her position, in the eyes o tie audience, gave bes slight 3 — ce action. Cooper, who is 4. some of th leading politicians of Illinois, took his seat the defendant’s chair with a great deal of confidence and a little dash which the court soon knocked out of him. Mrs. Parker was called to the witness stand, and, being sworn, said her nusband diea a few years ago, and for the support of herself and family she was obliged to open laundry. Among the cus- tomers was Polk Cooper who paid some attention to the girl. As Mrs. Parker was in want of a man at the wringing machine, Cooper, who offered bis services, Was accepted. The mistake was discov- ered a few weeks later, but too late, as the girl was already lost. The mother then progibited Cooper from seeing her daughter but HE ELUDED HER VIGILANCE nevertheless, and a month ago the girl with some compagions disap ed. Susie was arrested in a disrepuiable house in Springfield, III., and returned. She revealed the lact that she had gone to Springfield af the re- quest of Polk Cooper. THE GIRL was next put upon the stand, but gave her testl- mouy witha great deaiof reluctance, much to the wratification of the defendant, When closely questioned she admitted having been enticed away by Cooper. Special Officer Hobbs was next called. Ou an order from Capt, Fruchte he ar- rested Cooper, and found two letters in his possession. The leiters were produced and read. They were written to Polk by a man named W. D. longnuecker and were dated at Springfieid, III. Indy showed that Longnecker was running a dis- reputable house in the eny mentioned, a he made propositions plainly to Polk, asking him to engage in the business of turning good giris into ihe paths ol shame and promising bim good pay lor it. Detective Sheahan, who arrested Cooper some time ago for interfering with the girl. was also present lu court. At that time Cooper promised that he would not bother the girl in future and wrote a letter to this effect. He did. not keep his promise, however, and afterwards claimed tbat he was forced to write the letter by the police, When the State conciuded its case COOPER TOOK THE STAND as witness in bis own behalt, and told how he met the girland bow be tried to persuade her to go home when she threa ad to go to Spring- Cooper 5 from the witness stand, saying, That's all I have to say,“ Judge Noouan asked if both sides rested. and on beiug informed thatthe case was concluded, he ieaned forward, and, addressing the defendant, said: “Cooper, Lam convinced that you area profes- stohal seducer and debaucher of young girls. You ure a murderer Of souls, and compared to you the highwayman is a respectable member of wee The punishmant in your case ou final triai can be five years lu the petitentiary. Iwill hold you in bond in the sum of $2,500, and as this affair oc- curred in this city, I would suggest tbat this man Louguecker and his wife be brought, here and prosecuted.” ; BOXING AND CARTING. — Movement Among Wholesale Dealers to Do Away With their Charges. A movement of tue greatest Interest to jobbers in the drug trade in St. Louls was determined up- on by the Richardson Drug Company of this city this morning. To fully understand the move- ment it must be explained that for the past two years it has been the custom of diug jobbers to charge their customers an extra amount for the work of boxing and carting. About a year ago McKesson & Robbins, a large Eastern drug house, issued a circular to their enstomers declaring that thereafter they wouldcharge noth- ing extrafor the work of boxing and caruuz. Other firms were compelled to adopt this meas- ure, fal.lug into une one by one. At the annual meeiing of the National Wholesale Druggists’ As- sociation, beld in New York last October, a strong effort was made by the delegates to induce McKesson & Robbins to recall their action. The firm refused to do so, saying that the measure had been adopted, was a suc- cess, and it would be folly to altempt to depart rom it. Since that time the movement spread uutil it reached ali the small towns in New York State. About a month ago it struek Cleveland, one of the houses there taking iti up. A meeting was called by ithe 12 gn of that city, Detroit and Toledo, and an effort made to have the movement rescinded, The effort was futile, however, and ihe jobbers of these cities bad to follow the ex- ample of the house referred to. The movement has now struck this city, aod will probably create a panic among drug men. The members of te Richardson Company, at a meeting tuis morning, passed resolutions that they would notify their customers by circular that after this date there would be no extra charges for boxing and cart- ing. Tue cireulars will be issued in a day or two. Just what the movement means can be inferred when it is known that it will make a d- ference of from $10,000 to $12,000 to the company that has adopted 11. But, however much the drug companies may suffer, their customers will profit, and there will be more rejoicing ou the one hand than Wailing ou the other. Bisnop Ryan’s Return. Rt. Rey. Bishop Ryan arrived in the city Satur- day evening and was welcomed home yesterday by anumber of his friends. He says that he thoroughly enjoyed his trip. Bishop Ryan says he never thought that his Dublin sermon would cause such trouble, but now the matter is explain- ed and he is glad of it.

ES — — — — Tue Committee having charge of the ar- rangements for bringing the National Con- vention to St. Louis will meet again Wed - nesday afternoon, and it is to be hoped that the full amount needed will be raised by that time. What is wanted is a guarantee fund of $20,000, and a cash fund of $2,500 to pay the necessary expenses of stationery, printing, clerk hire, and trip to Washington of the delegation to see the National Com- mittee. A STATESMAN by the name of Hicarns in New York has introduced a billin the Gen- eral Assembly with a great many whereases, the sum and substance of which is that it shall be unlawful for avy person to sella theater ticket for more than the advertised price. If Mr. HieGins really wishes to benefit his constituents he will introduce a bill declaring that there shall be in New York seven half-penny loaves sold Tor a penny; the three-hooped pot shall have ten hoops, and it shall be a felony to sell small beer. Ver Tue death rate of the general population is 217 and of the soldiers 84, annually, out of 10,000 in England. Germany annually loses but 57 out of every 10,000 of her soldiers, while 269 of every 10,000 Germans not in the army dic every year. In France the death rate is 92 for soldiers and 244 fur civilians. The deaths in civil life of course include in- fant mortality, and soldiers are robust speci- mens of manhvod in the prime of life. But the difference in the death rates is evidently largely due to the fact that soldiers are fed, olothed and cared for better than the masses of the people. An enormous percentage of the deaths in the German army are from sui- cide, and yet only 57 German soldiers die out of a number which in civil life shows a death rate of 269. If there were fewer sol- diers, there would be better living and longe life for the rest of the people. — One dy one the gang of plunderers who upheld the pinchbeck Empire of Napoleon are dropping off.

There is a struggle going on in New Jer- sey over a bill providing that the real estate owned by rallroad corporations shall be taxed the same as real est’ te owned by indi- viduals in the same locality. It seems that years ago some railroads were, by acts of the Legislature, exempted from taxation, and the courts have held that these acts were contracts, and therefore irrepealable, because the Federal Constitution vetoes all State legislation “impairing the obligation Gov. ABBOTT, in calling the attention of the Legislature to the evil of thus bartering away the sovereign power of the State over taxation, urged the adoption of an amend- ment to the State Constitution which will prevent any future Legislatures from thus sovereign rights. He insisted also that the Legislature should not hesitate to take any constitutional course which would restore the lost sovereignty by extinguishing the contracts and paying such compensation therefor as might be awarded by an ad quod damnum jury. He was con- vinced that a system of equal taxation would be otherwise unattainable and was worth more to the State and its municipali- ties than the proposed remedy would cost— far more. So here we have the anomaly of a sovereign State reduced to the necessity of buying back from a corporation one of the most es- sential and important attributes of sover- eign power, because the courts have chosen to bold that a single Legislature can dl- vest a State of all such attributes, and sell and convey the same to a corporation, thus tying the hands of all succeeding Legislat- ures! It is as if the courts had recugnized the power of a mere Legislature to impose on the State anew constitution in the form of a system of contracts preventing all further legislation and practically abolish- ing all the energies and functions of poptiar self- government. To a layman, this judicial conversion of al contract, irrepealable and interminable, looks like a bit of abominable jugglery. It makes a yearling Legislature as omnipotent as the British Parliament to destroy the State, but without that Parliament’s bound- less power to correct its own mistakes and repeal its own acts. The Federal Constitu- tion guarantees to each State a republican form of government, and the clause about contracts was not inserted for any such pur- pose as that which some judicial decisions have madeit serve. ‘There is no question that the intention was to prevent any State from impairing the obligation of contracts between individuals. The whole scheme of the constitution negatives the idea that there was any intention to place a State on the footing of a mere business firm with reference to its creditors, its contracts with p rivate parties or its legislative grants. — œꝗ—— — WENDELL PHILLIPS is dead. For about forty years he has held a position in Ameri- can affairs to which no other citizen aspired. A man of remarkable culture and oratorical power, he never sought or accepted an office or a personal advantage or benefit of any kind in politics. Independent in fortune and’ a Boston aristocrat by birth, he dedicated his sympathies and his life to the cause of the weak and the wronged. In their behalf he was ready to face universal obloquy. Neither a time-server nor a party-server, he fought what he thought wrong in all of its intrench- ments, and, having voluntarily made him- self the nun of American politics, he took pride only in the courage of his honest con- victions and followed them to their logical conclusions, unswerved by any selfish ca/cu- lation Whatever. Hated and feared by poli- ticians of all parties, he yet wielded a won- derful power in moulding the opinions and directing the events of the age in which he lived, and in the history of which his figure will stand for all time conspicuous and unique, Tothe Roman virtue of bis life in an age of political prostitution, posterity will do full justice, and if his example shali always insure to the lowly such champions as he among the rich, the educated and the to be thankful that he lived in this country. — u Fairs in the remedial virtue of “the hair of the dog.“ has gone to the limbo of faded superstitions, but modern medical writers do contend that inoculation with adder’s poison. properly diluted, not only fortifies the sys- tem against yellow fever, but cures lock-jaw.

Major William Warner, a distinguished Repub- lican polHician of Kansas City, Mo., went through Chicago yesterday en route for Washington, where he is billed for an interview with his friepd John A. Logan touching the presidential canvass. The Major isa very bigh private in the Grand Army of the Republic, and came very near being electea grand commander of that organization at its tast annual reunion in Denver. He strapped one of his arms under his vest and appeared at the reunion as a crippled veteran, occasioning 80 much enthusiasm that he would have been elected to the honer he craved had not certain treacber- ous members of the Missouri delegation given away the snap and thereby insured bis defeat. It was al the reunion that Logan and Warrer met torthe first time. Mutual admiration speedily ripened into love, and now Warn@r says he can give Logan the Western half of the Missouri dele- gation to Ohicago, if Filley will look out for the Eastern half. Warner bas no doubt of Logan’s nomination, and he pelieves his nomination would be equivalent to an eiection. Filley is to be Logan’s Postmaster-Genera!, Long Jones of Chicago is to be Secretary of State, and John M. Hamiiton will be sent to the Court of St. James. “As for myself,” says Major Warner, “I do not care abou. office. It is my only ambition to down R. T. Van Horn, who bas bossed us Missouri Re- publicans long enough, and is now setting up the pins and pulling the wires to nominate Jim Blaine. However,I have Logan’s promise that, in ease he is nominated, one of the Cabinet port- folios will be put at my disposal.” Major Warner believes Colonel Hays will be retained as Post. master at St. Louis, and that John B. Henderson will be the next Republican candidate for Gover- nor of Missouri. A Rainy Day Wife. From the Chicago News, There could not have been a sillier story than that which came from Denver last week to the ef- fect that Mrs. Augusta L. Tabor, the divorced wife of the notorioys ex-Senator, had married a peripatetic adventurer, Mrs. Tabor is a sensibie old lady. witha barrel of money and a beauiiful home. She feelg that she has been deeply wronged by Tabor, and she says she has but one thing to live fer now, and that is the diy when her erratic and truant hus- band will de returned to ber. She has a strong conviction that he will eventually be reduced to poverty, and that he will then be for- saken by the male and female hbarpies that are now preying upon him. When thattime comes he will, she believes, return to her, and she is free to confess she willthen gladly share her property with him. Sue is very prudent and saving. Al- though her wealth almost reaches tue million, che is scrupulously economical, because some time be will need the money.” It would be impossible for a woman with such an ambition in tife to rush into marriage with another.

It is to be hoped, in the interests of bumanity and party politics, that, as soon as Mr. Sherman 3 investigation of Southern outrages on negroes is finished, Senator Butler will move for an investi- gation of the outrages on white men on Long Island. Beyond any question the Long Island outrages are political. The negroes vote the Re- publican ticket, and the white men of Suffolk and Queens Counties have been in the immemoria habitof voting the Democrat ticket, This makes it clear that the object of the negroes is to suppress the white vote, They mean to make Long Island “solid” for the Republican Party by terrorizing the whites. For this state of things the whole North is responsible. The attacks on the Town- sends and the Spragues are the legitimate results of Northern civilization—or rather want of civill- gation. This is as clear as it is that the eopie of Virginia and Florida are responsible for the murder of a casual negro in Miss«sippi, and any denial of itis an evidence of deep-rooted hatred to the Union.

Crimes North and South. From the Richmond (Va.) Religious Herald. A friend in New Jersey sends us a slip from the New York Tribune contaming the statement of (alleged) wrongs inflicted upon colored people in Mississippi, and asks, “How about this?’ We have a printed statement of the number of white people murdered last year witnin 100 miles of New York City—averaging one forevery day in the year. Suppose we send that in return to our honored friend and ask; How about this?“ But we will not doit. It is not his fault that there is so much evil-doing at the North, and it is not ours that somebody is doing wrong in Mississippi. If we had our way there never would be another wrong inflicted upon a colored man, or Upon any other kind of aman. But with us he New York Trib- une is the worst authority as to Southern matters. While it affects to be first-ciass in évery particu- lar, and has something of an omniscient flavor, it can manufacture Southern outrages (about elec- tion times) with greater celerity than any paper of our acquaintance. The New York Times (of the same political fauh) is much fairer and abler. What the Editors of the New York Journals. Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, February 4.—Tie WORLD says: „There will naturally betwo estimates of Wen- dell Phillips’ character. He knew no subdterfuges and made no pretenses. He avowed himself an enemy of the Constitution, and he would not swear to support it. He, with Garrison, de- nounced it as a covenant with death and a league with hell. For this he was bitterly denounced ulld bitterly hated, Some will still regard his life as pernicious on account of his teachings. But war and enfranchisement have made the number small. If Wendell Phillips had died before the war he would have filleda place in history only as an honest, but misguided aud mischievous agitator. He now stands as a missionary and a prophet.“ . THE TIMES. The Times says: “Iwoof the Cabinet officers are complaining against the civil service com- misson—Secretary Chandler and Secretary Teller —but the tune to which their plaints is set is very different to that with which we have been accus- tomed. Weare no longer told that the examina- lions are pedantic and intended to let through college graduaies only, but hey are not thorough and exacting enough, and that those who have passed them are not good enough schol- ars to sult the requiremen:s of the Navy aud in- terior Departments. If that be really the case, it Southern Outrages. From the Boston Herald (Ind.) The best sentiment inthe Republican party is against any investigation of Southern outrages at the present time. There can be but one purpose in such an investigation, and that is to make par- ty capital. The war ended nearly twenty years azo, aud the Southern States have their fate in their own hands. They have certainly made great progress. We hear of comparatively few acts of lawlessness in these days. Onthe whole we suppose there is no more crime in proportion to population in a Southern community than in a northern. At any rate, these States are responsi- ble to their own people, and will prosper or not, according to the protection they give to life and property.

The eagerness with which the Councii has seized ypon a proposition to grant au immensely val- nabe franchise toa hungry gas corporation, all jor the sake of the Gear people, is in striking con- trast with the recent dead-lock wiuserein the solid six and the solid seven proved their willingness to let public interests go to the demnition bow. wows so long as their personal and party wishes remained ungratiled. There is something about jjjuminating gas which has the effect of tovigor- dane municipal legislators and rendering them keentwallve toanecessity forsome immediate action, ostensibly in behalf of the taxpayers whom they represent, Of this peculiar fact the present -eouneil is not the first illustration in local his- ory. In view ot some of the strange features which it presents the pending water-gas bill has found a degree of favor with some of our council- men which is most remarkable, not to say inex- plicable. If there be any good reason why it should be pushed through with such alacrity at the present time, the members of the council whom a Post-DISPATCH reporter interviewed on Fri ay night have evidently failed to discover it, as weir explanations are absolutely barren of any ‘argum nut worthy of the name, People outsiae of the city hall are at a loss to understand why the ssembly of 1884 should insist upon shouidering avast responsibility and disposing of privileges worth) milllons, When the emergency which this " jegisiation is to affect will not our until 1890, a man who contemplated erecting a house in 190) were to make à contract now, and at present market rates, for the furniture with which to stock it, he would be SUSPECTED AS A TRIFLE DAFT, aud especially strong would be this suspicion tif present indications favored a steady decline in the cost of turnitare from this time forward, The argument that several furniture companies were bidding for the coniract at the present time, and thai be was afraid they would withdraw their bids wf he declined to #£«accept, «wonld be regarded as Only one more proof of his lunacy. Avid foally, Une bad a certainty of owning a furnitnre factory bimself when the time. should come for oullding his house, the last doubt as to his derangement would be removed, Yet the cases are parallel. St. Louis isin no desperate strait concerning its cas supply tn 1890. Sue isin no danger of be ing wrapped in gloom at that time because of the ex: iration of the charter of the St. Louis Gas Licht Company. Neiter is she tn danger of being compelled to pay an extortienate price for gas from the day On which that company winds up i» business. On the contrary, it will be ber glo- ous privilege, Unless ber representatives barter away as they are now endeavoring to do, to tke possession of the works of that company et a appraised valuation, the very day its franchise excires. Until that time comes the St. Louis Gas Light Company is supreme ia its district, aad no e ation, of whatever character, can compel it lo reduce its rates, or can enable any competitor to enter its territory. The ostensible purpose ef the Water gas bill is to insure cheap gas in that distriet after 1890. Lf the Laclede and Water Gas (Companies cau profitably furnish gas at 81 50 rer thousand, the citycan dothe same ou coming into possession of the St. Louis Com- pany’s plant. II some unforseen change in con- ditions should occur before that time, making it mpracticabie to Manufacture gas at such a (pare. then NO COMPANY COULD AFFORD TO FURNISH IT a. $1 50, uo matter bow stringeart the terms of its Tanchise. Hence, it is difficult to under- tand how the public is to be benefited by the creation of what would certainly become a new monopoly in the district in question, Supposing for a moment that the Water Gas Company, being required to either “ayor acquire” 120 miles of pipe before 1890, should actually lay that pipe (which it does not propose to do), the effect would be to largely du- mente the system of the St. Louls Gas Light Company, aud thus impair the value of tne latter’s property to that extent. Now, as the city is to become the owner of that property, it is difficu.t fo understand how such impairment is to benefit the public. It, on the other band, the city shouid tet not to operate the plant, the oniy corporation which could afford to buy it would be the company Which has a duplicate system of pipes already laid and in operation. The above hypothetical conditions are based on the pretended under- slunding of the advocates of the water gas bill as to what its effect is to be. That is to say, the bil would force upon the city be pleasing al- ternalive, when it takes possession of the St. Lon Company's piant, of either operating the worksin competition with a powerful business rival, whom it bas magnanimously and gratuit- ously built up, or of letting the plant go into the bands of that rival, which would have & cast-iron franchise to protect it for the next twenty-five years. As a matter of fact, however, the theory on which these speculations are based is radically wrong. The Water Gas Company has no intention of dupli- catiug the system of the St. Louis Gas Company, bor does the Council believe that such is their purpose. If it had such intention why does it in- isl on having the bill provide that it must lay “or acquire” these pipes? If the Council really Means to force competition why does it not strike oul Lhe words “or acquire“? The only pipes that tan be “acquired” are those of the St. Louis Gas Licht Company, and, as a matter of fact, the pian of the new company is to “acquire” them before the city shall have a chance to do so. Notthe least unpleasant consideration which the proposed Water Gas bill, under the interpre- ation that it contemplates the laying of to- gtiler new pipe, offers is the fact that the laying ®! those 120 miles of pipe Would involve the tear- lug up once more of that length of our streets, Comprising three-fourths of our newly-laid gran- Ne pavement, The men who paid for the latter are natu rally OPPOSED TO ANY SUCH 6CHEME, do ſong as any other plan can be devised by Which cocap gas can be insured to the public.

It contains, however, a provision which enables it to purchase any time before 1890 the entire plant of the St. Louls Gaslight Company; another provision Which gives it twenty years of lite after 1890, ana another provision which deprives the city of the right to buy the plant thus obtained until the ex- Diration of those twenty years. In other words, it Virtually extenas the franchise of the St. Louis Gaslight Company from 1890 to 1910, save that it does not make it exclusive. Perhaps people who are not members of the Council can recognize some resemblance between a bill which contains these features and the otd tripartite agreement, which lost to St. Louis so many millions. Now, the Posr-Dis raren IS EITHER RIGHT OR WRONG in the statements above ma If it is right—and it provoses to prove conclu- sively within the next few days that it has under- stated rather man overstated he cause—then it ts incumbent on every honest member of the Council! to vote agaist the water-gas bill. If it is wrong, then itis incumbent on the gen- tlemen Who are 80 ardentiy supporting the bill. not only to demonstrate that fact, but Lo give to the public some better explanation for their aetion in giving away a two- million dollar franchise, than that they “think it is best to dispose of this matter now,” or that “this seems to be a fair propos ion of the Water Gas Company,” or that “we owe a debt of grati- tude to the Water Gas Company.“ Even admitting that the granting of a franchise to rip open the streets of the entire city were the best solution of the probtem presented, all consid- erations of pubiic policy are opposed to hasty ac- tion. The past year’s experience clearly shows that every new proposition from the gas companies 1s better for the city than all that preceded It, and why the bidding should be cut off at this time is not apparent to people who do not oecupy seats Ip the Assembly. The good results of a neu ar- rangement, admitting that there can be any good results, cannot be harvested before 1891, no mat ter how soon the franchise is granted. Then why the rush? It the gentlemen connected with the Gas Company who are making such desperate en- ageavors TO PUSH THE SCHEME THROUGH are sativfied that no better proposition will be made, then they have nothing to fear from such deliberation as sbonld attead the granting of the most valuable franchise in the giftofthe city. Their very eagerness proves that they recognize the prizeas one of great Value, and consequentiy thev are not liabie to withdraw their bid. And even u they cu with- draw it, lhe same considerations which actuaiced them will actuate somebody else to renew the proposition. If, on the other hand, they are har- rying the matter through fear that a better bid will defeat them, that isalithe greater reason why the city’s representatives should walt. Since this subject has been agitated, the feeling has steadily grown among the thinking class of tax-payers that no Assembly should volunteer to settie such a vital question as this. affecting, as it does, the eutire inture of the city, unless they have been elected on this issue, or unless such a necessity for immediate action should arise as does not now exist. The city is well supplied with gas now, and will continue to be,with an assured decrease rath- er than au increase of cost lu the future. Tue companies which have made propositious have doue 80 WITH A VIEW TO MONEY MARINd, and nol to philanthropy; and any talk about the propositions being withdrawn anda great oppor- tunity thereby lost to the city is all bosh, The water gas offer is not only not better, but not as good as, for instance, that of the Laclede, which has pipes already laid aud would not be under necessity for tearing up the streets. The Laclede offer, however, should be rejected just as summarily asthe other. The present Assembly has no more occasion to actthan had the As- sembly ten years ago. And now, having stated what the effects of the bill will de, as viewed from the standpoint ot a newspaper, and having outlined the reasons why ig should not pass, it is but fair to present the statements of some of the members of the Coun- cil, who were questioned at Friday night’s meet- ing concerning the subject. Attention is especial- ly callea to the reasons given why this strange bill should pass. The first gentleman approached was that worthy stalesman, K. 8. ROWSE. “What is tbhe'necessity for negotiations with a gas company at this time, for gas to be used after 1890?" asked the reporter. “It is this,” said Mr. Rowse. “I want the city to have the assurance that after that time it will have cheap gas. “But why not defer negotiations until shortly before that time?“ “Because I think it is best to have an early set- tlement of that question.“ Can not just as good terms be had in the year 1888 7“ “JT don’t know that they can; I don’t think so. I believe we can do bettes at the present time.” “And hence the bill?” “Hence the bill.” Mr. Rowse isthe father of the water-gas bill, but the bill has been moulded into its present shape by the Committee on Pablic Im- provements. Mr. Rowse associated on that com- mittee with Messrs. Temple and Zelle. MR. ZELLE was asked as to the necessity of action now in the matier of gas supply alter 18900. Well.“ said that benignant-looking gentieman, “the matter may as well be discussed now as at any fuiure time. There is no doubt in my mind but that we can get better terms from companies now than we can later.“ “How so?” “Well the agitation of this matter has brought the gas companies down to making the best kind of propositions. I think this Dill we have before us now is a good one, and will be one of the best things that ever happened the city should it pass. The price of gas settled upon in this bill is very cheap.” “But don’t you think the Council woulddo as well to walt until 1888 before passing it?” “No,” “Why?” Gas Company has been wiped out of existence, I think we had better settle the matter now When ali companies are competing.” : . MR. JOS. TEMPLE said: “I believe it is best to begin to talk about the matter now. It is a business matter, and the best business men are those who look a long way ahead. I am satisfied that we can do better now than we ean in 1883, because you can’t get a company to jump in and lay pipe all over this city in one or two years. 1 have always looked with favor upon tne idea of contracting for gas with the lowest bid- der, that is, to have bias handed m for i, but ‘sa Water-Gas bill, Until the | whoo this bili came up I coneluded that it couid “What's the use of waiting until the Water“ | not be well bettered, By this bill the Water Gas er will have tolay 125 miles of pipe before 1890. “You think it best to enter into negotiations now?” “I think, it is dest to talk about the mutter, and if we get @ good proposition to take it.” JUDGE VASTINE was assailed with the usual question, and in reply said: “I think it is best to tackle the subject now, in- stead of letilng it run on until it is too late. Lam of the opinion that the sooner we get this question settled the better it will be for the city. An early settlement is the best. We will de pre- pared then for the future. I think, besides, that we should seitie this question in time to give the companies a chance to prepare themselves.” MR. CUMMINGS said: “We are not entering into any negotiations. We give no exclusive privelege. We make no contract. You folks are all at sea about this mat- ter. You ought to read the bill. We are simply giving a new company a chance to prepare itself to compete with others for the privilege of sup- plying cas. Now you can’t expect a company to lay pipes and put up lamps in a day, ean you?” Well, six years Is a good deal more time than is necessary.“ “No, it isn’t, The company can’t have too much time. I tell you, this bill is the biggest thing for the city you ever heard of. It will save $500,0% a year tous. The bill provides that the company isto charge not to exceed 81 50 per thousand, ‘Not to exceed,’ do you see?“ “Tben it ts best to pass this bill?” “Why certainly.” MR. STONE, the most vigorous speaker tu the Council and one of the most active foes of monopoly. said: “There is no more necessity for entering into negotiations for gas six years in advance than there is for fifteen wheels to a wagon. Do you know what I call tuts bili? Oh, I tell you I’m on record on this thing. I call it a bill to wrong, cheat and defraud the city of St. Louis. There is no use whatever in having this thing come up now. Two years before 1890 will be ample time to arrange for gas in the future. We have plenty of gas companies to compete for the privilege of supplying gas to the clty, and I don’t see why we should nurse new ones.“ MR. HAINES thought awhile before he answered the reporter’s question, Finally, after agitating a few gray hairs with his rlent hand, he said: “Well, I think the best thing we can do is to get cheap gas, and the sooner we eet it the better. If we can geta good offer from gas companies now, I think we ought to take it.” „But can’t you do as well in 1888?” “Yes, but we may get cheaper gas before 1890. You know the Laclede Company is willing to take an entirely new franchise, and we could get cheaper gas from them, then.“ “Do you think the St. Louis Company will want a new franchise before 1890?” “They may do anything,’’ said Mr. Haines, laughing. MR. ZIEGENHSBIN said: “I think we ought to settle this gas bus- iness as soon as possible. It will take tne com- pany along time before itcan supply gas; that is, a long time no lay pipes, etc. This company makes a proposition that is worth acceptance and I beleve in taking it. The company has done a great deal towards cheapening the price of gas in this city, and common gratitude alone should impel us to giveit afair chance to com- pele with other companies. We do not give the company apy exclusive privilege. We simply put it in a condition to hid for supplying gas in the future.“ PRESIDENT PARKER said: “The question we are dealing with Is simply this: The Water-Gas Company applies for permission to vend gas, and we must say yeaor nay to them. As to negotiations now for gas to be sold alter 1890, the negotiations aretor the time between this and 1890 as well.” Mr. Parker gave an outline of the bill, stating tbe amounts to be paid to the city each year in return for the franchise. He did not take either side of the question, and concluded by saying that the city did not bind itself to the company in the bill. WELL’s MAY APPLE (Liver) PILLS ID and25c. J. S.

Following many a recent precedent Sunday morning furnished another big fre sensation. About 4:40 o’clock flames were discovered in the shop of the machinery warehouse of N. 0. Nelson & Co., occupying a four-story iron and brick buila- ing at the northeast corner of Kighih and St. Charles streets. The three lower floors were occupied by that firm, and the fourth by the boot and shoe firm of Phillips, Grant & Co. Had the building been filled with shavings the fire could hardly have made more rapid headway, and it wag booming through every floor before first stream of Water reached it, A second ahd third alarm followed fast, and a stubborn two- hours’ figbt was inaugurated. Owing to the nar- row roadway on the St. Charles street side, and the great danger of taking position there, the firemey were much hampered in their work, but there was no possibility trom the very outset to do any better than confine the fire to the bulld- ing in which it originated. At half-past 6 o’clock nothing of the upper floors of the struct- ure remained, and the walis having little to stead them, began to full away, The south wali felt out on the roof of Thos. Cheatham’s Clover Hl stables, which occupy a two-story brle at No, 406 North Eighth street, which building was very badly damaged. About the same time the east wall fell out on the Alhambra Theater, and crusn- ed through a portion of the roof. causing very seri- ous damage. The rear of Nos. 413 ana 415 North Seventh street sustained on jury also, the sufferers being G. J. ‘ocill and Michael Callerton. The firemen kept close watch on the surrounding property, and prevented the fire from getting a hold at any point outside the wails wherein it originated. The Salvage Corps mean- while did splendid service in covering the heavy machinery on the lower floor of the destroyed puliding, thus saving ty? thousands of dollars. it is estimated that the Nelson loss will reach about on stock, all which is covered by insurance. The loss on buildin is about $30,000, an the losses of the livery stable ani theater firms, to- gether with smaller outsiders, will bardly foot up $5,000. Several accidents occurred at the fire, the most notable being one in Which Arnold Bauer, Cap- iain of Kngine Co. No. 17, was struck on the bead. by a falling joist While oa the third floor of the burning buiiding. He was so badly lujured that he was carried home unconscious, una may die. Pat O’Hearne, of the same company, was injured im the very same manner at tLe same time, but not 80 seriously. James Gray, of Company No. 14, was knocked Of the stable roof and had a leg spraiued, The Nelson stock was insured for $129,500; the machinery in use for $14,500; the furuſture and ae for $5,000, and the engine and boilers for 1,000.

The statement in regard to Mr. Von der Ahe's alleged connection with a pool whose object was ager Williams’ manly card; ia which be states the entire interest and action the St. Louis Club had in the action of Touy Mullane io leaving the Lucas Club and joining the Toledo. The “cont- dential communication” style of statement is a good deal of the same nature as is known to newspaper men as that coming from “a proml- nent business man of Main strent,’’ or it is said by a well known lady on Lucas place,” and has no weight whatever. But it is very poor treat ment to submit a man to who has positively re- fused to interfere with the business of others. The matter rests entirely between Messrs. Lucas, Mullane and the Toledo Cub, and the contempt- ivle attempt to make Mr. Von der Ahe and the St. Louis Club responsible suggest, “an opportunity- long sought for,“ but which was a little preina- ture.

A The first of the two special trains that conveyed the Abbey Grand Opera Company to this city, flashed around the curve at Evansville, III., last evening at 7 o'clock, and threw the long shadow of a Post-DisPatcu reporter upon the platform of that dreary-looking station. There was some trouble in boarding the train after it had stopped, the *rain-guard refusing to allow the reporter to pass him even after an inspection by the aid of his lantern, but Mr. Matthews, the treasurer of the company, came to the rescue, and the news- paper Man was hustied aboard just as the train moved off. “ I don’t think you will be able to see any of the artists,” said Mr. Matthews: they are all Very faiigued with the journey, and the principals are seriously — hid Tits is Mme.

They have been indisposed for some time past, and are not at all prepared to meet anybody. Come into the next car and ITA show you some of our peonte. We have two trainioads, 306 people.

Sessions a few days ago for violation of the excise law, spent Suuday in his cell in the Tombs. On the little white cover of the cot lay copies of all the daily and most of the weekly pictorial papers, which he perused while puffing at a fragrant Havana, In the moruing he attended religious services and joined in singing and prayer. He wasa most perfect specimen of a penitent mau, aud those who saw him while he reigned su— preine in his Hester street palace of sin re- marked the change. ‘The air of bravado had completely left him and his face bore a quiet, dignified look. His wife and several friends called upon him early in the day, bringing him deiicacies.

This coming to the ears of Father O Haven, the pastor, he investigated the whole affair, and as a sequel this mornin from the altar he denounced an ex the managers of the bali in severe terms. “In the future,” he said, ‘I will not only expose the managers of these balls, but also have read from the altar the names of ali those Who participate.” The father has always been opposed to balls of any sort, but the Masquerade he will not permit un- der any Circumstances.

Judge Adams Dismisses the Writ of Certiorari Against the Po- lice Board, In What Respects the Board ig a Quasi- Judicial Body~ Why Caruth and Lutz Were Qualified to Sit as Judges—Eyery Point Urged by Camphbell’s Counsel Overruled —An Interesting Opinion. Judge Adams this morning handed down a Written decision in the case of Ex-Chief of Police, John W. Campbell vs. the Police Commissioners. Mr. Campbell’s application for a writ of certiorari is dismissed. It will be remembered that after the Court of Appeals had decided the first cer- tiorari case In favor of Campbeil, the Board tried ulm on charges formally preferred by Walter F. McEutire, brother of the Coal OW Inspector. These charges set forth that Campvell had been guilty of all sorts of conduct and insubordina- tion. The trial terminated with the reduction of Campbell to the rank of patrolman. Then Cump- bell applied to Judge Adams for a writ of certi- orari to quash the proceedings of the Board. The following is the decision of the court in full; “The evidence on which respondent acted is not before the court, and indeed it is conceded oy counsel for relator that in vals proceeding the court cannot examine or consider such evidence at all. The onty questions now before the court for adjudication are: Did the Board of Police Commissioners have jurisdiction, that is the right to bear aud determine the complaint which re- sulted in the removal of the Chief, and if so aid they, iu the exercise ot that jurisdiction, trans- cead their power in the matter. These general ducstious arè iu argumenutreducedto two specific in duirles: First Do tue charges and specifications ou whieh the Chief was tried state sufficient cause for bis removal? aad, second, were the two Com- missioners David W. Caruth and Frank J. Lutz disqualified to sit in Judgment iu the case. The reluior ipsisis upou 4 negative answer to the first and an affirmauve auswer to the second m- quiry.” Tue court thea recites the Charges aad specifications upon which Campbell was tried. “Oouusel for relator contend that in noue of tuese charges or specificauuons is there sufficient Cause stated lor the removal @f the Chief vy the Board, Their specific claim in this regard is, that neither the charges nor specifications are sufficiently certain and defluite to fairly votiuly ilic Chiel of tue exact charges agalust him. It IS CLAIMED BY THEM that specification rst vi Charge 1 does not set out distinculy What Llaise and slanderous reports were cileulated, or which particular member of the Bourd was slaudered, aud does not disclose Whe iS tieaut by his superior officers; the claim in ar- gUinenht being that Lue Chiet vf Police himseif was ine cet officer, and could have wo superior; tliat specificauon 2 under charge 1 is uncertaia and duubitul, in that u does not name the partic- ular commisstover whom the chief tureatened to uisembowel; that speeification 1 under charge 2 Is uucertain aud mdefinite, in that u does not speci- fy Which of the commissioners haa been contempt- vlisiy spoxen of, aud What tue coutemptuous iauguage cousistea of; that specification 2 under Cuatge is uncertain aud mdefinite,in that it uves nel specily im what partuculars the uchiel egleeted his duty and bow he allowed (ue city to be overrun, etc., that specifi- first under charge three is insufficient in that, ikumits the word “leloniously” or Auten- Lioually” In ecounection with the alleged offers to wive $300, Tue toregouiug is a fair statement, 1 think, of counsel’s criticism of the charges and specifications.

All that is required in my opinion ina cotupiatut against a police officer to give the board jurisdiction to hear and determine the case must, ia the light of the foregoing provisious of Lue act aud ot the Obvious necessities ol the case, be a plain, substautial statement of a cause fur removai relating to THB UNFITNESS OF THE OFFICER discharge his duties. However inarti- this Katemenunt may be drawn, sufficie:t to eoufer jurisdiction, provided Only it be intelligible to senstbie men. li the view contended for by tne plaintiff's coun- sei in this regard were to prevail, taking into con- sideration the available writs of certeorari aud prohibision aud the possible appeals therefrom, it would be as difficull and @xpeusive to remove a police officer in tuts State, as it is to dispose of a ost Complicated Criminaltrial In my opinion tue charges and specifications upon which the relator was tried were sufficientiy substantiated when ineasured by tue test heretofore fixed upon for jurisdictional purposes and sufficiently specific to iuform the Chlef of the cuaracter of the complaint? against alm.

The ony other ground urged by relator’s counsel ior quashing the proceediugs of the Board is, that Couumissioners Caruch ahd Lutz sat in the hear- lug of the Charges, when, as stated in the assign- ment of errors, they were accusers. It does not appear that these two Commissioners were the veiual accusers of the offenses for which the re- lator was tried. The relator’s theory is, Luey had been accusers iu Charges somewhat siuil- iar to those which had been filed with and withdrawn from the Board be- fore the filing of these charges by Mr. Mcintyre, therefore, they were, in effect, accusers In these, and, use their interest resuiting from the fact of their be- ing so the accusers, they were disqualified to sit as judges at the trial, and the actiou of the Board in removing the Chief with the aid of their votes is void and of no effect. The effect of these facts in reality is about this: ' THESE TWO COMMISSIONERS at the time of tue trial had knowledge of some of the facts which, in their opinion, justified the preferring of the charge and o this effect they had expres their opinion vefore the trial. But aamitting that tnese facts mean all that is claimed by relator’s counsel, were the two commissioners disqualified from sitting ja judgment at the tria Counsel cite many Cases Wherein judges of common law courts are held to be disqualified because of personal interest in the cause before them. Those cases upon examination are found to relate to an actual interest bad by the judge in the judgment to de rendered, Guat is, wherehis own property, lioerty or condition are involved. Iu such cases, of course the uuterested judge cannot sit. ON THE RKLATOR’S OWN CONSTRUCTION of the tactauo such case is m de here, No rights of property or person of these two commissiouers were luvolvea in the trial, or could possi affected by their judgmeut. It it uad been that auarues Were preferred against a commissioner for apy cause, and that the Board had jurisdic- tion to hear avd determine such charges, such a case would be like the ones cited by counsel, and such commissioner’s actin sitting in judgment upon himself would have been void. This, I think, is what is meant by the cases cited and relied on by counsel, However this may * it seems Lo me that rules applicable to judges courts of reeord are quite inapt to such à case as this and the nature of the case; the fact that a jurge force of men is under the control of the Board ana that upon their discipline efficiency and harmonious working depend in a large eas ure, the peace and good order of our City; the fact, that the Board, ina administering discipline, is permitted by creating 1. : vd 2 so in manuer, tha tiou is exclusive and thal its judement, after à bear- ing, is fiual, all go to show that in considering its proceedings more practical considerations should vail. 1 the relator’s theory should prevail, its tical working woula, in my_ opinion, rious to the r und efficiency of the po- lice force. On this theory any Pro- vided his offence de agaiust com- missioners or committed only in their presence, cannot be diseipliued or tried because, . the Commissioners wude have exclusive jurisdic- tion over the matter, being the offendea or the 8 cannot sit tin shout Maperenas : 1 nd to will such construction would not beneficia! be operation.

Was it Suicide? a By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, WaRwick, N. Y., February 4—What is generally believed to be a case of deliberate suicide by a dog occurred in this village week. The animal was a valuable and In- telligent bird dog owned by S. Sliker, a well- known resident of Warwick. Mr, Siiker re- cently purchased a new dog, and as he found some difticulty in domesticating it, he treat- ed it with more than usual kindness and at- tention. The old dog manifested great dis- approval of the treatment of the new r. and showed unmistakable jealousy. His dog, and the old one finally attacked his rival, gave it a severe whipping, and then leſt the premises and took up his quarters at the Wawayanda House. e was treated very kindly there and refused to return to his old bome. The dog had always been al- most boisterous in his activity, but after leaving his master he became morose and —1 * He rarely left the hotel.

WASHINGTON, February 2—The most shame- less and corrupt outfit here this winter is proba- ably thp Dakota delegation that came down heré to control the appointments of the territorial offi- cers to be made ip the spring and secure the ad- mission of that Territory into the Union. They have taken a house on Capitol Hill, within a | stone’s throw of the Capitol building itself, and they are holding forth there in great luxury and at great expense. Itisareal old-time lobbying party, one of the kind that too often succeeded during the Grant dnd Hayes administrations, but that does not now meet with much encourage- ment. Itis beginning to dawn upon the minds of honest members of Congress that about the rot- tenest department of the presenj,Government machinery is to be found in the Territories. The Territorial carpet-bagger is turning out to be as bad as the South- ern carpet-bagger. Nearly all the officers of the Territories, from the Governor down, are selected from the States, and the bestowal of these offices is almost every time a reward for political dirty work. Themen sent out to govern the peo- ple of these Territories go there strangers, and are too often without any object save that of making money. If the records are ever properly made up and published, there will be found an astoutding lot of rascality in the public affairs of all the Territories, and espectaily in Dakota, which is a very rich country and to which there has of late years been a wondertul immigration. The public has already been made familiar with the charges against GOVERNOR MURRAY OF UTAH, a half brother, by-the-way, of the present Governor | of Missourl. He was sent out there from hkhen- tucky and went there a total stranger io the cha@@$cter and wants of the population there. It is ullogether probable that enough of his rascally doings as United States Marshalfor Kentucky will be proved against him to force his resigna- tion. It must be a pretty bad case when a Re- | publican Congressman from Kentucky, as Hon. | J. D. White did the other day, will arise in his | seat and declare in open session that the present | Governor of Utah “ought to be wearing striped clothes in a penitentiary instead of filling a Government position.” His career in Utah since ve has held the office of Governor there is said by those who live there and who are honest and competent witnesses to have been ofleusive to the Lignest degree. When the United States Commissioners appointed under the Edmunds law went out to Utah last year to investigate the Mormon question Murray is said to have employ- ed every means In his power to belittle them not only inthe eyes of the very people they had come to serve, but to have seut abroad all sorts of misleading and unjust telegrams as to the | work of the commission. This was done solely | because he was afraid that the commission might | in some Way try to abriage his power, or rob Lim | of the diguity he assumed, The days of Murray | are numbered, and he will soon be retired to an ingiorious private life. He isasample of many i | other territorial carpet-baggers. There is Fre- mont, who lives in New York aud was Governor of Arizona. At the very time he was given this appointment he was a fugitive from justiice—France—having there been convict- ed ol a swindle in connection with the Ei Faso Railroad scheme. His associates in crime were imprisoned and Fremont would have been put there too if be had not fled the country. Schuyler Crosby, whom Garfield appointed Governor of | Moutapa, was but little removed from a groggery bun im Buffalo. He Kuew no more about Mon- taua and the needs of the people of that territory than he did of the quality of the soil on the planet Jupiter. There is old Sener, Chief Justice of Wyoming, another creature of the hypocrite Hayes, who was the loafing associate of negroes at Fredericksburg, Va. He used to hang around Washington à good deal, aud was so disreputable in appearance and carried about with him such a disagreeable odor of old clothes and bad whisky that the administration was besought by the peo- ple here to give him a place where he would have a chance to freeze out. But tue Dakota crowd,as before intimated, is the worst of allthe territori- al carpet bag colonies. It is headed by NEHEMIAH J. ORDWAY, Governor, Who Is said to have made $300,000 out of his office. He is the creature of Hayes in 1880, and his time will expire in May next. He was from New Hampshire, and was Sergeant-at- Arms of the House of Representatives at Wash- ington during 12 years of the history of that body following the war when the Credit Mobilier ras- calities aug many others were hatched and ear- ried out. “When the Democratic Congress came in he was investigated and there was an amount of richness found that would sink an ordinary man, but Ordway had the administration back of him aud he laced the charges against him with bravady, R. F. Pettigrew. ex-Conuressional dele- | gute from Dakota, himself a Republican, pub- i i lished over his own signature THE RECORD OF ORDWAY and the showing was terrific. The article closed with an extract from a letter of Hon. John M. Glover Of Missouri, chairman of the committee that investigated Oraway, the substance of which was that in all the history of the Civil Service of the country there baad no- where arisen a more intamous character than the man who now holds the important office of Gov. ernor of Dakota. I could not undertake to re- produce bere even a Syhopsis of the accusations made against this man by Pettigrew, who is here at this moment endeavoring to secure the ap- pointment of Jim Telie?, brother of the Secretary of tue Interior, to be successor to Ordway, As to | Ordway’s chances of reappointment he has absolutely none, and all he and his friends seek to accomplish now is the selection | of somebody who Will not be uostile to certain | schemes that have been put under way in Dakota. J have it from the best authority that Chandler Secretary of the Navy; McFarland, of the Land mee, and others here, have made large invest- ments in Dakota lands under the direction of Ordway, aud eit is quite natural that they desire him or some one Who will act in accord wiih his policies shall be in power. The whole Territory of Dat.ota seems to have been farmed out to a set of Govermental free-booters and railroad specu- lators. Almost every county seat in the Ter- ritory bas been located for a price, and the capital itself was put upto the highest bidder. A history of all rascalities that have been prac- ticed against the poor Indians out there and against the inhabitants who have gone there to settle, Would Make a record full of STARTLING SURPRISES, The Territory seems to haye been selected as a sort of pension field on which have been picketed scores of relatives and friends of prominent Re publican politicians. Hugh Campbell, United States Attorney of Dakota, was one of the gentle- men whe did the dirty work for Hayes at New Orleaus in 1876, and as areward Hayes gave him this place. It is said here boidly and everywhere that there are lying now here in the department of justice, affidavits of prominent lawyers of Dakota charging him with the acceptaace of bribes in the discharge of his officiat duties. Jim Teller, who is now being urged ‘for Governor by the faction that is fighting Ordway, is,jas before stated, a brother of Secretary Teller and holds the office of Secretary of the Territory. Secretary Chandler of the Na has also a son out therein office. He is a yout booby sort of boy but is in the important position of Receiver of Public Moneys at Yaukton. Teller and Chandler, therefore, seem to have the swing of the Territory, and it may be expected that they will make the Dest of their opportunities. Neither of them is above turning au honest or dishonest enuy. Teller was long ago smirched, in 1879 1 lieve, by some sort of crooked work in connec- tion with the San Carlos Iudian Agency tn New Mexico, and 1 could not undertake to say what sort of a record Chandler is accredite with If a Democratic administration sbould ever come into power there will be such a whooping up of the territorial robbers as never was dreamed of. The gang that nas come dowa here from Dakota this winter have probably 98 to spend in the corruption of Congress. hat President Arthur will do in the face of all this array of corruption is just now an interesting question. THE GREAT RIVER CONVENTION AN The agitation 1 Yaver of th esta on in favor of the im the Mississippi River is now so pronounced aud general, and the convention to meet at Washing- ton February 5 to consider the subject promises to be such a large one, and composed of men of such character and influence, that a shor’ ac- count of the work done ia behalf of the creat cen- tral water-way of the United States during the last few years may just at this time de of special jaterest. The tion of the Eads jetties was e commencement of for the improvement of the agitation the Mississipp on a colossal scale. Before that time there had been a few small conventions, and more or less talk on the subject, but the appro- priations secured were small and oe to local works or to the building of a few snag-boats. There was no definite plan for general hnprove- ment. The Lower Mississippi States had con- structed levees on their own account, but the upper part of the river was almost entirely neglected. The success of the jetties gave im- pulse, and form and shape to what followed. In 1879 the River Commission was created by act of Congress, with certain distinct powers, among them the formulating of some comprehensive ey of improvement which should be uniform or the whole river. The commission examined the river and reported a plan. The next move was to obtain the money to carry it out. THE FIRST STEP taken to accomplish this was the holding of a River Convention in Quincy, IIlinols. The memo- rial prepared by that convention, which, by the way, Was a very clear, ringing and able paper, set before the people such facts as to the cheapening of transportation by the improvement of the river that the whole Mississippi Valley began to take an interest in the subject, and such pressure was brought to dear on Congress that some $3,000,000 was voted for improvement at the next session. Rival interests then began to attack the project, and various schemes were proposed às substitutes for the plan of the River Commission, The people having tull confidence in the intelligence and capacity of the engineers of the commission, determined to sustain that organization. This determination resulted in the calling of the great River Convention at St. Louis in 1881. The expressions of the several States interested, through their respective delegates, were bold and decisive in favor of the plans of improvement inaugurated. The next — —— as a resuit of the public opinion, aroused by the St. Louis Conven- tion, voted nearly $6,000,000 for the Mississippi River. The enemies of the river then renewed their attacks on the commission with great vigor. Hostile committees were appointed to report up- on its work. These disagreed, but had succeeded so far in their fight against the river interests that no appropriation was secured from Congress last year. It was found upon inquiry that Con- gressmen from the Mississippi Valley were not acting in harmony and were not cordially sup- porting the improvement scheme. Only the three states, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana, voted solidiy for continuing the work begun under tae directiou of the commission, Missouri was divided aud Kentucky gave omy two votes for the opposition, while lowa, Illinois, : Minne- sota and Wiscousin were lukewarm, and Ohio went against it almost to a man. It became necessary that something should be done to unite aud barmouize the people that ought to be one on so important a subject. The West and South had in Congress a numerical majority, but members of Congress from those two sections failed to stand together, and to bring apout harmony and united movement a movement was started by THE MERCHANTS’ EXCHANGE OF Sr. LOUIS, a body that has always taken the lead iu this work to combine all available forces Dy a thorough organization. A committee was first created by the Merchants’ Exchange, and through this committee all the trade exchanges and com- mercial bodies of the Mississippi Valley formed committees, and afterwards united under one head as “The Executive Committee onthe Im- provement of Western Water-ways.” Mr. B. D. Wood of New Orleans was made chairman, Mr. Geo. L. Wright of St. Louis Was made secretary, and Mr. Michael McEnnis of St. Louis was made treasurer. This committee called the present convention, which is now just assembling in Wasnington and which is exciting sv much at- tention throughout the entire country. They have recounted in brief the various phases of the movement which has brought America and the whole commercial world to appreciate the fact that ibe improvement ot the Mississippi River ts one of the most momentous questions of the hour. It is now becoming weil settled in the minds of public men of this country that cheap transportation is one of the ggravest problems to be solved by a country that nas so great a surplus of products, and it is pow evident that nothing yet discovered overates as so effectual a barrier to the exorbdi- tant charges of railroads as natural water ways. The Sau Francisco Coronicie, a paper published in a State through which there does not flow a navigable river of any extent, and which has, therefore, been the friend of the Central Pacific monopoly, very wisely and fairly remarks that the National Government can very well afford to give tue Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri Rivers $50,000,000 in Lhe next ten years: GILBERT @UISE. ee FOR THE OPERA.

An opera-giass is one of the most important ar- ticles in the outfitofalady or gentieman, espe- cially necessary to the latter, because, during the theatrical season, one has almost constant need of it. An opera-glass, too, is one of those simail things that so distinctly marks the character of ite possessor. No lady cares to use and no gen- tleman should have acheap, mean and common- looking opera-glass, especially when such ele- gant and dainty glasses mav be purchased now for a comparatively small amount of money. Some of the loveliest novelties in opera-glasses may be seen in the optical department of tbe Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Company at Fourth aud Locust. They are exquisitely decorated in the most delicate taste and possess the two most essential qualitities of lightness and power. The frames of hammered silver, enameled and hand- painted, white pearl and gilt and other matertals, are very handsome. These goods are not only highly ornamental and beautiful, but they are of the best manufacture and are sold at extremely reasonable prices.

LAST CALL! FAMOUS, FIFTH AND MORGAN. — — ee — THE HARRISON REVIVAL. ä a A Sabbath Gathering too Large For Cente- nary Church. - The revival meetings at Centenary Church were well attended yesterday. The afternoon exercises were participated in by a large gathering of peo- ple, the church being crowded to its utmost ca- pacity. Inthe evening hundreds were turned away, the overflow filling churches in the vicinity. The services were degun by singing and prayer, Dr Fry teading in the latter. The preacher, be- fore beginning his preaching, announced that there would be a jubilee before the regular ser- vices this evening and that to praise God for 300 conversions already made the hallelujah chorus would be sung. He pleaded for an even greater awakening and asked all to interest themselves in the good work. He took his text from He- brews, second chapter, third verse and began with Heavenly Father, now help me for the next twenty minutes while I plead thy salvation in its greatness and talk about Jesus in his mightiness. Oh, God, help me, help me, help me! Amen.“ He said his text propounded a question that the Bible did not answer and that the teachers of re- ligion could not answer. “Oli, God,” said he, “here is a question as great as death, as vast as the judgment and as terribieas heil.
