udo of Ibero, do not feel like tors' private practice and compelled them to attond A MISSOURI COLONY. OUR CORRESPONDENTS' COLUMN make it a private affair and spend their own money, nobody will objeat to their riding their hobby for the next century, if they live so long but the publio money should not be handled by private parties, especially in trying quack experiments on jail birds. selves or their official informants. The Evening Post, Republican, after quoting the figures showing how the bonds fluctuated under what it satirically calls somebody's "luoky guessing" at what the Secretary meant to do, says: Wo respectfully Migaoat to Mr. Boutwell that Buoh lucky gueesers as those who, week after week, have divined liis intentions before he made them ceded to, we are told, Sickles iB inBtruotod to say that the United States will at once reoognize Cuban independence.

Our diplomacy is sufficiently degraded, but it can hardly have sunk to this bullying level. Muoh of tho old glory and power have departed from Spain, but even Spain would promptly give his passports to the Minister making a proposition so insulting. during business hours to the duties they ware paid for, he forgot the couplet that Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do. There is no possible honest work for a whofe regt ment of doctors in either olty, as health officers. Work that one active doctor used to do, for this city, could sot bo split up among a dozen or more we don't know how many there are, bin tbeir annual draft on the otty treasury amounts to and yet leave enough for all to do.

They might as well have Kept at their private praotice, for the city has no use for a quarter of them. So the time bung heavy on their hands, and for want of better occupation they began to plot against tho layman interloper who had been the cause of disturbing them from their quiet slnecurlem. Unable to attack the elder Lincoln direct, they seized on the son, and reported him as lazy and inefflolont. The father took the son's part. Dr.

Crane took his brother doctors' part, and now there is a general embroglio, which bids fair to go on till the next Legislature, when the Democrats, having both houses, and the Governor, will sweep away the entire brood of medicine men who have been so successful, first in opiatis ing publio opinion, and since in phlebotomising the public treasury. More power to the Lincoln in putting down the dootor sinecuriat8; more power to the doctors in extinguishing the Lincolns, is the aspiration of the citizens of Brooklyn on beholding this intostino contest in the Health Commission. OUft COUNTY INSTITUTIONS. Annual Reports of tbe Warden of the Almshouse, Physicians of the Lunatic Asylum and ISospita.1, keepers of the Nursery, Interesting Statistics for Taxpayers The annual report of the officers in charge of tho various County institutions under the control of the Superintendents of the Poor, were presented to tho Superintendents this morning, and will be presented to the Board of Supervisors ac their meeting this aftor. noon.

Several matters of incidental publio interest arise out of the legal proceedings in the case of Mr. Litchfield's canal outtina; through Third avenne.

To some of tbese we adverted on Saturday. One vory important question, not only for the legal profession, but for the publio at large, is, whether our Courts are not too facile in the issue of ex parte temporary injunctions The Judges, when applied to by one man or company to enjoin some one else from doing or interfering with anything, are too apt to act like maohines, and grant the injunction for the time being, without taking the slightest trouble to refloat on or inquire into the circumstances, or to see what practical effect the operation of the injunction will have. It seems to be regarded as a settled rule of law that the mere faot of anybody asking for an injunction is proof that he ought to obtain it. Now in this case of Third avenue, had the city authorities asked for an injunction against the men who were cutting the street in two, no one could blame a Judge who on euch a representation of facts had decided that private parties must be restrained from out ting th9 street for a week, until he had time to inquire whether they had a right to cut it. The presumption of law and common sense would be that a man who is digging a ditch across a publio street, contrary to the will of the city authorities, was a trespasser.

But when a private party'comes into Court with this case I began to cut a publio street in two, and the Mnyor and acting Street Commissioner forbad it and had the police stop me will your Honor please allow me to go on undisturbed for a week, and then, when I have finished cut 101 480 071 625 1,465 2,090 816 1,945 2,71.2 595 801 1,896 259 320 579 .2 1 3 18 28 46 874 1,150 2,024 286 451 737 Total.

It was that of a mechanic, who, being out of employment aud ill, attempted to end his existence by swallowing a full pint of brandy, and tben tried to hang hiintclf.

Il was discovered beioro liio wbb distinct, and eut down and sent to the Hospital. At tho timeof his arrival ho was almost pulseless and in a state of complete collipso, but he was, by proper treatment, entirely restored. THE SURGICAL OASES during tho year were but few in number, and tho proportion of surgical cases of minor importance had largely increased. THE CONDITION OF THE DEAD HOUSE at the Hospital is represented as being vary bad. It is so oia ana so neany aecayeu as to do entirely unfitted for its present use.

It furnishes but little protection against the weather, and tho friends of deceased persons may well be shocked at its condition. Dr. Scheuck recommends the construction of a now Dead House, with ail the necessary facilities. THE HEALTH OP THE CHILDBEN at ihe Nursery during tbe past year had boon remarkably good. During tho lust two mouths tuoro had been a eliqnt epidemic ot measles, but it had been neither prolonged nor severe.

He says that he was unable to distinguish between "Yankee Doodle" and "Old Hundred," this was probably owins rot to defects in the buldmgbut to the la.

that the gentleman wa3 payiug more attention to tbo young lady with him than to the music In one respect however he was perfectly correct and that was in regard to smoking. It has long been a desldoratum in this city to have a place of summer evening resort to which the most refined or fastidious could go without moating anything it was hoped that tho Rink would supply this want yet as long as smoking is allowed in the manner that it is now it tends to do moralize the place and finally bring it to the level of a lager bier saloon. There are some people in this world and unfortunately there are a groat many of them who seem to have no idea of what constitutes a gentleman, for no gentlonian would smoke to the evident annoyance of those around him, yet at the Rink persons presuming to call themsolves suoh, sit and smoke until the whole building iB filled with suffocating fumes from which there is no escape except by leaving. Now it seoms huraly fair that those who wish to enjoy the music should be deprived of that pleasure in order that a parcel of over grown boys may smoke. Hoping that the proprietor will endeavor to stop this rapidly growing evil and thus mBke it (the Kink) more pleasant for ladies and non smokers.

Unripe Fruit and Vegetables To the Editor of tlie Brooklyn Eagle; Cannot something be done to prevent grocers and others from selling green ana unripe fruit to small children.

Tlie Siicbrintes' Home Complaints ot the Inmates, To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I desire to state a few facta in regard to tho management and transactions of tho "Homo for lue brlotes" jn this county.

Ho is a member of tho Close Corporation one of tho Trusloes a Director iho Secretary of tho Executive Committee, aud tbe Superintendent of the Homo. Hecousid ers himself tbo head centre, and acts as such. At this Houie, situated on the Shore road to Fort Hdrailton, L.

there are three classos of patients admitted. 1'bo first are paying bo.rdere, who pay from 85 to 10 per week, and are allowed to get drunk as often as thoy please, eo long as their bourd is paid, or until the getting drunk is carried to an extreme, when one of the poorest of them is kicked out by tho Lord of tho Mauor, os an example and a warning to the others.

Tho second class are those who can pay 83 por weok and also liiute of uifoliiyeuco who cannot pay but give their talents instead. In case any of those patients bo come bliRhtly intoxicated they aro hauled over tho coal', and ii not a valuable man, diBChaiged. Thothird class compriEO a qu er mijituio ol nations aud creeds.

The "Home" is 'or tho benefit of Inebriates who are rosident? of Kings County, but owing to tho power of John Wnlott it matters not they never lived iu tbe county, if ho feels dlsposod to take them. I havo known men admitted almost immediately upon their arrival from a foroigti country and nevor resided in tho Unitod Statos aud never been actual drunkards. A lurjro nutnbar of patieutB bail fiom tho Fourih Ward, Now York Olty, The free class of patients sleep iu a largo barn, tho lower patt of which is used for keeping two cows, two horses and ihieo Roots.

Manuro aud garbago aro thi own in elopo proximity, making it a pleasant and healthy place to bleep. Tho womou patients are mostly of the free class, and are kept hard at work at vurlous duties. They occupy a largo shod near tho main building. And now in regard to food. At tho first class table thoy havo the best of everything put before theiu, almost mini to first class hotel board.

Tho second class are glad to get tho leavings of tho first, cooked or hashed over. At times they get a fair slico of cold fresh beef, but as a general thing it is corned beef, highly dosed with Bultpetre. I have seen meat pluod upon that table unlit to eat, and thrown it to tho dogs and they have refused to eat it. The coffee is made mostly of chickory, tho tea is hot water with a am ill amount of Buhea and Soda thrown in it. The faro at tho lowest table is high a trifle but not much better than jail foddor.

Coffee and tea bad, the meat served out iu small quaatities to each persoo, which as a gou eral thing is corned beef off tho horns. Sometimes stewed lights aud liver, broad and molasses or suit codfish, and they aro expected to do a hard clay's work eilher in tbe field or about tho house upon that poor and scanty allowance. They are not treated by tho great I am, like human beings. The cause of thiB great wrong fs in consequence of bad management on tbo purt ol tho Superintendent. In tbo first placo ho has a largo and expensive family to fako euro of viz: John Willett, w.fo one daughter (n widow) having two children sua daughter ol eighteen summers aud a nephew of about rbirletn years of age.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: On till questions affecting tho growth and prospoiily of Urookl.wi, I think you take a large, liiieiit, und enliiiliteiied view.

Aud spreadiug such views dully beli.re yi.nr numerous readers, a public sentiment, based ou broad idoa of the present netls nd future growth ot our city, is rapidly acquiring force, and is citing io manifest itself in ways that shall commend themselves to the understanding and appreciation of nil good eilizons. I wish to add a mite to the puih you are giving the various plons aud suheim's now tool for improving our city, aud thus commending it to now comers anrl strangers as a place of residence. You rejoice with all Brooklyn at tbo announcement that old Fulton Market, ou tho other side of the rivor, is to bu replaced by a docent structure. Will we thou bo allowed more space in which to truverso the walk's in that vicinity But I notice that there has been a feeblo altempt to clear our owu walks of morch.mdi"0 and peony burkslerp, so (lint cuo mny with comp irauvo comfort walk along our business streels. Fulton street at.d avenue ara tendered utatost dangerous to podos triuns; and whore buildings aro going up, or cellars going down, tho wallis nro made and kept in a dangerous condition.

Why is thete not a "Union" formed among respectable merchants to keep their mnrchandiHo in their stores, and then thoy cau holp tho authorities keep the ui'ruly and reckless law breakers tin Hie mark, aud so give us acleurand.puoioux walk? Builders are notoriously can lees ol tho lives and linvs of walking people, and, in fact, bo. ddo leaving opr huge ditches across bidewallis, aro accustomed to moiMpolizo nearly ihe entiro street opporflo tbeir work. I nolico that they mannae, where thero is a rail track, to gi along nith ouo quarier or ono tliird of Iho street, but where there is no rail (rack, they fequire two thirds or three quarters of tho roadway. Believing it to bo thelHtli conveniences that aro fl noticed by strangt rs coming iu(o a large, crowded city, I wish tu call attention to somo discrepancies iu tin management of our city cars. Every one who has ridden in them must have noticed tho prominence given to a show bill, headed "Regulations for Passengeri." And everyone so riding aud so reading has discovered that it is invariably tha fact, that tho "passengers" are tho only portion of tho apparatus which dou't tifed "regulatiiins." For instance, a stranger cotueB off tho firry, and aeks tho first ho sees you go to Mate ttieet?" "Ye.

No attempt is made to scat them, only as they crowd, and jostle, aud ouarrel with each othi often filling one tide of tho car with muo passengers, while wna more are standing; and allowing people to ttaud on tho stops, crowd ou tho nsr platform and htaud at th door, when there is room iu side. AU these evils con bo easily eradicated by au efficient conductor, and it will keep him so busy mornings and evenings, that he will not forget to collect a portiou of his far s.

I hope thoy will all sec, read and heed this hint. "llie MiHHlug Jrl Sill."

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I know nothing of the merits or demerits of Mr. Litchfield's right to cut a canal across Third avenue, neither do I wish to do or say anything to prevent bucu aD improvement as he has iu contemplation. But I would like to ask bow we are 1 1 got rid of the wator flowing from all (hat district lying between Fourth avenue and tbe Gowanus Canal, if he is permitted to out off the eewer on Third avenue as contemplated? I can see no alternative but to make the Gowauus Oaual tho receptacle ior all Ihe ewerage and fllth of that largo district. Ceitainly this is not desirablo or practicable as you know tbo cnnal would not carry it off, having no curreut except the natural tide. Now what will be the result if we have to resort to such an expedient.

Why, tbe canal would soon fill up with filth too intolerable to hear, and navigation would be so impeded by Buoii an accumulation as to destroy tbe value of tho canal for commercial purposes.

Tho mooting last evening was attended by about thirtv flve individuals, including one young woman. Those who were present.

apart from the officials of the colony, comprised ohleOy laboring men and mechanics, who had assembled to Us ton to what might be esld In favor of enlisting Is the organlzatten, and to make euch inquiries as might seem pertinent to the subject A following brief oat line of the proceedings last evening will best serve to inform the reader as to the nature of the organization: The meeting having bean called to order, circular addrt seed "To the enterprising waa read. This represented that the "Miasloari Colony" Is to consist of five hundred families, whioh are to locate upon a traot of land to be selected in Missouri, and there form a village, or "colony." It also set forth in an attractive manner, the advantages to be secured by colonization, and concluded by stating that "Persons wishing to Join must be temperate and of good moral character, and willing to abide by the laws of 'the colony, as adopted." At the conclusion of the reading of tho circular, questions were invited, whereupon one of the audience called for a reading of the laws, which was done la part, the main requirements being as stated in the circular; the payment of an entrance fee of five dollars and the possession of a limited amount ef ready money. This question having received a satisfactory the meeting having become fairly started, questions, answers, and addresses, or rather, perhaps, conversations, were uninterrupted until half past ten o'clock, when the meeting adjourned. The substance oi the remarks was as follows: According to a law of Congress, land may be preempted at a dollar and a quarter per acre, a perfect title being thus secured. Under the Homestead Aot, land may be secured by payment of the Burvey.amount ing to about a shilling per acre, provided the person seeking the title shall have resided upon the desired land during five successive years.

Under one of these laws it was proposed to secure land and settle upon it, locating near a railroad, or river, or both, founding a village, and dividing tho land into farms, embark in various industrial pursuits, but relying mainly upon agriculture. The President of the Colony stated that the Erie Eailroad, the officers of which had treated him with far more. courtesy than he had received at other railroad offices, would transport the colony to St. Louis, at a discount of one third of the regular fare, and allow two hundred pounds of extra baggage to each number, which would place the fare at about twenty dollars each, and give each transportation for three hundred pounds of baggage. The Erie would also give freo tickets to tho Locating Committee while prospecting for a site.

A RESIDENT OP SPRINGFIELD, in South western Missouri, in which vicinity it is contemplated locating remarked, in BUbstanco, as follows: Springfield is 230 miles south weBt torn St. Louis. There are tbroe railroads in process of construction in that portion of the State. The richest lead diggings in the world are at Granby. Missouri has a limestone eoIJ.

Some of the plantations have been regularly cropped for tventy years and are still good, and no doubt will be good lor a hundred more crops, without resort to fertilizing composts. Tobacco is a very lucrative crop, and Missouri tobacco is not excelled by any in the United States; in same parts of Kentucky, however, an equal qnallty is grown. There is some cold weather, but the winters are short and mild. There is so Utile snow that stock does very well without feed, but a little betttr with it. Pilot Knob covers an area of 640 acres, is 350 feet high and is of solid iron ore, of which about ninety per cent, is pure iron.

Iron Mountain is a similar wonderful curiosity, and a rich tin mine is reported to have been recently discovered. The locality is a prairie country, but the prairies are small and there is plenty of timber. EMGBANTS ABE TAKING UP LAND fifty miles west of the Missouri rivor, and it is "just us good land as God ever hung out doors, but there is no timber on it." Ten Western men emigrate still farther West, for every Eastorn man who goes West. There are no poor men in the West, excepting in the cities and towns, unless they are lazy and IdJe. They are all rich that is, they have got a farm, and can provide themselves and families with tho necessities of life, consequently are Independent and therefore, rich.

Southern and Central Missouri lie in one of the richest coal fields in the United States. The coal is bituminous, and in some places the cannol coal is found. Tho coal mines are not developed, but plenty is washed bare by water in ravines, and the farmers go into the ravines and shovel out what they want. Springs are abundant, and there are surface indications of plenty of oil, though no boriDg has yet been done. The State is also proverbial for its bealthfulness.

OTHEB STATEMENTS were made, and the President read a report which set forth the wonderful resources of Missouri, stating that it contains an area of 67,000 square miles, is one and a half timeB as large ai Now York, eight times the size of Massachusetts, and would make a dozen Ger man Principalities. The cbiof defect is the sudden at mospheric we are subjoot to as bad changes here in this State. The Locating Committee will proceed to tho State and select a site, and their expenses must be paid by the colony. But they want no extravagant salaries and wiU proceed economically. The fees of membership will pay all incidental expenses.

There are now forty five members. Each man will handle hia own cash, and will have all tho advantages of protection and society which cannot be enjoyed by an isolated settler. An old moid or a widow can enjoy the same benefits as any other member, and it is unnecessary for either male or female to be married in ordor to become a member. There are plenty of 'chances for matrimony in Missouri. Aliens oan hold land by previously declaring Intention to become citizens.

It will be perfectly safe for any industrious person possessing two hundred dollars in ready money to join the colony, and with that amount to start upon they can obtain a farm and pay for it by instalments. THE MISSOUBIAN asked several questions in relation to the' lands in Missouri, and the following reply, in substance, was thus elicited: The country has been settled for some years and most of the land is in private hands. Good land may be purohased for from five to twelve dollars per aero. The State has some land and the government some, but moBt of the desirablo land has been already taken up. Some years ago the Federal Government made a distribution ot lands to the different States, and the land underwent considerable manipulation.

The land was given to tho States as "swamp and overflowed land," but the commissioners whose duly it was to locate tho lands fdr distribution, managed to get arouud their oaths and give the States land neither swampy nor overflowed. The Hta'tes distributed the lauds to tbe counties and the counties sold their apportionments and devoted tbe procoeds to perpetual school funds. Iu this manner, Jutper and another county upon the Missouri River had raised about 8300,000 each, which was loaned at ten per cent, interest, aud the seiaools were thus entirely supported upon tbo interest of the fund. Some other similar statements were made, and short ly after half paBt ten o'clock tho meeting adjourned to next Monday evening, at eight o'olocli, at the same place. JChc Health Commission at liOgg cr lioads 'J he smecurisls Quarrelling Over the spoils The Metropolitan Board of Healtb, tbe most ineffective of all the brood of Commissioners, foreseeing its abolition In tho rising tide of Democracy in the State, is rent with intestine divisions in view of the near approach of its dissolution.

When these Com nussioners fall out, tho honest taxpayers will learn how they have contrived to spend so much monoy in doing so little good. The following version of tho quarrel now going on between some of tho mombers, is from the Sun: For some time past a coolnoss has been visible between the TWO BROOKLYN MEMBERS of the Board of Health. it culminated in an open rupture. Mr. Lincoln (so it is said) accused his colleague.

Dr. Crane, of shirking his duty, and remarked that only one Commissioner in Brooklyn attended to his duty. He added that Dr. Oraue did absolutely nothing, except once a week to attend the Board of Health meeting, sit there a few hours, and tben attend to his private business. Dr.

Crane retaliated, that he had done his duty in every respect; but iu one instanco he had done too much for him (Mr. Lincoln), inasmuch as ho had ascertained that his son was drawing a year us a clerk in the Assistant Sanitary Superintendent's office, and was doing nothing whatever for his money iu fact, Dr. Crone exclaimed that young Lincoln had a sinecure position, and insisted that he should either do his duiy, like any other employee of the Board, or re Bign. At this Mr. Lincoln waxed wroth, and, it is said, totally forgot hiB Chesterfield, and indulged in unseemly epithets.

Dr. Crane appealed to the in secret session, appointed Dr. Stephen Smith, Dr. Stono, aud Judge Bosworth to investigate tho churgos. Dr.

Smith, Chairman of the Committee, will prosont the report to lhe Board at their weekly session to morrow, and a lively time may be expected. It is whispeied sy a little bird, who is in the confidence of the Committee, that tho report will be unfavorable to the Pr. tident, and that the Board will attempt to legislate him ouc of office. This is the first instance in which Dr. Crane has figured as a combat taut since he joined the Board, iu I860.

This matter has been talked of for some time in local political circles. It is understood in this city that the resignation of Dr. Conkling as Sanitary Superintendent, grew oiigiiially out of the presenco of thh son of Com miesioner Lincoln in tho Brooklyn Court Houso; that Dr. Stilep, Dr. Conkling'a successor, has also similarly fallen under the displeasure of theLincolns; and that the trouble between Dr.

Crane and Mr. Lincoln, senior, arose out of the former taking the part of Dr. Stiles againBt Lincoln junior. On the other hand, there are very many people who think that Mr. Lincoln senior is the only one in the concern who is disposed to do anything UEtful with the great powers specially legislated into the hands of this Hoalth Commission.

That he come into the Commission and found it a mere CLIQUE OF DOCTORS drawing large pay irom the cities, and quietly spending their time in visiting their patients and dispensing their advice and drugs. The public attention began to be drawn to this Health Commission more and more as time went on When Mr. Lincoln was put at the head of it the doctors regarded him as an interloper. He regarded them as a pack of old women. Tuey wore drawing $150,000 a year from tho cilios, and they only spent a year of thiB in work.

All tbe rest was salaries and stationery, particularly red tape. Lincoln was a politician, and knew this Bort of thing could not last there must be at least the pretence of doing something for the money. So ho went to New York and stirred up the salaried health doctors there to meddle with Btrceta, and sewers, and offab and to have paragraphs frequently appear in tho papers about the great things the Health Commission were about to ao free baths, abolition of offensive sightB and smells, Meanwhile he planted his son in tho Brooklyn Court House, to stir up the doctors hero while he stirred up the New York half of the Btaff. But the doctors protested, both hero and in Brooklyn. They demanded to be let draw their pay in peaoe, and to pursue their private practico without being interrupted by pnblto work.

The Lincolns stood firm, and finally Dr. Conkling, after trying in vain to compromise on four and a InJf hours work a day, resigned his $3,503 a year la Brooklyn, and Dr. Dalton, the New York Super intendent, after trying to compromise on three hours work a day, resigned his $5,000 a year. Now it aeomB tbe contest is renewed. This time it is THE DOCTORS 8TTBBXNG TO? TBE LINCOLNS instead of the Linoolns warring against the dootors.

When Lincoln senior Bttcecedod In abolishing tho doc Presidential Presents. One act of President Johnson which had the unanimous approval of men of all parties was his refusal, at the very beginning of his offloial term, of a proffered gift of a carriage and a pair of horses. The reasons by which snob, a comae is sustained are almost too obvious to be repeated. The Chief Magistrate of the Republic should not merely put himself be yond the reach of direct or indirect bribes or appeals to personal considerations he should avoid in this regard even the appearance of evil. He should not only conserve his own dignity and keep olean and pure his ownplaoe, but he should set forth a clear example for all others in authority.

It is absurdly inconsist ent to discountenance the receiving of a pres ent by a Colleotor of a port or an Assessor of Revenue or other subordinate, while the President is the objeot of a profusion of such favors. The President may say, I do not per mit myself to be moved a hair'sbreadth from the path of integrity by these testimonials. but may not the Colleotor, or the Assessor, or other subordinate say the same And if the President by his supreme exaltation is made superior to unworthy influence, does he not cure it to the "weaker vessels" to strengthen them for a like resistance, by showing them how not to be led into temptation The wis dom of Mr. Johnson's deoision is too plain to need the support of serious argument. Whatever political antagonism the subsequent policy of the late President may have aroused, there was, and there could be, no difference of opin ion as to the wholesomeness of the precedent he established in rejecting Presidential pre sents.

It is a pity the preoedent is not recognized by Mr. Johnson's successor. The alacrity with which President Grant, to put it in the very mildest shape, places himself in a reoeptive attitude is the occasion of grave scandal. The taking of presents by General Grant was defended at least plausibly. It was claimed that persons who thought Grant's exploits in the field had laid upon the nation a debt of gratitude to the discharge of which his pay as an officer was wholly inadequate might with propriety make up the deficiency by individual contributions, and that Grant might properly accept such gifts because his work as a soldier was done, and the service which was their consideration was an accomplished The transaction thus became a private matter, subject only to the taste of those immediately concerned.

But this defence will not serve President Grant. His work is but just begun, and whatever of ficial services the public may have to thank him for are held in reserve by the future. A gift to the General who commanded at Vicksburg and in Virginia might well be guided by a worthy impulse. A gift to the President who for three years and a half will have the control of the enormous patronage of the Government, is more likely to be suggested by that kind of gratitude peculiar to politicians "a sense of favors to come. The President should accept presents from nobody, no matter how' assured he might be of the donor's purity of purpose.

But the indiscriminating facility with which he permits himself to be made a recipient in volves him, to the discredit of his high office, with unscrupulous intriguers and political speculators. How reckless of a patent rule of propriety the President is was again proved at Bricksburg yesterday, when the present of "fifty acres of ground" was "thankfully accep ted." Personal friends such as every man in private or public life admits to his closest confidenceare strangely neglectful of their duty to Grnnt. They are either einealarlv insensi ble to the suggestions of decency, or they are shamelessly subservient to one who needs now plainness of speech. In referring to this grave scandal we have sought to avoid a par tisan temper. We believe we have simply expressed the conviction not of Democrats only, but of every self respectful Republican who is anxious also to respect his President.

The Press News Monopoly. The Spirit of the Times, in remarking on the monopoly of news telegrams by tho combination known as the Associated Press, says that One of the evils is tbe absolute power that one man for good or evil over the news columns of the whole American preps. He may publish his own grievance." be may gratify his sploen he may nurBO hia deep revenge It depends upon him more than nnon any human being, what news the people may read, what opinions tney may torm, wna: tney shall think on matters of national policy. A clear instance of the operation of this un safe monopoly of the public ear was given in the Buffalo telegram of Friday, recounting the assault on the editor of a religious paper in Buffalo by a local office holder. The paragraph was wholly one sided and partisan.

It presented the assailed gentleman, who turns out by the mail accounts to have been in the right, as the wrong doer, and the bully's con duct wan treated as something rather chivalrous than otherwise. Not much harm can be done in sending one sided stories from Buffalo, because the mail correction arrives in a few hours. But with news from distant parts the public opinion can always be injuriously per verted until too late, the contradiction coming only after the affair has passed out of mind. A rival association tor press news would be a public benefit, as a guarantee against mono poly and a check on the arbitrary power of ir remediable falsification now possessed by the agents of Mr. Simonton.

A Nuisance that Should be Abated. The Commercial says: A letter writer directs attontion to tho very disreputable advertisements which are received into some of the New York papers. Ho alludes to one Bheet which admits advertisements of a far more shamoloss character tlian even those of tho "Porsousl" column. Libertines are permitted, through its columns, to unblushingly advertise for mistresses, and abandoned women to descant upon their charms. Intriguers boldly make their appointments through this column, and keepers of broihels and assiguution bouses proclaim tho street and number of their hells.

There certainly ought to be a law putting a stopo this. There is a law passed expressly for the purpose of abating this nuisance but the police authorities will not enforce it, and tho city governments have no power over the police, consequently the public opinion which might be effective in stirring up the elected local au thorities to act if they had the power, is inoper ative to compel the Police Commission to have this law executed. TOPICS OF TO DAY. An article which may be accepted as Mr. Bige low's introductory, although it is not avowedly that, appears in the New York Times this morning.

That the stylo is a little stiff is not surprising in view of Mr. Bigelow'a prob suspension of leader writing work. Mj yectionabie is the sermon like mannerism of "firstly," "secondly," down to "fifthly." The article contains what some people are trying to have incorporated in tho Constitution of the "United States a distinct recognition of the divine government of tho world a proposition founded in eternal truth but in the circumatanoes introduced with questionable taste. One of the most satisfactory qualities of tho Times under Mr. Raymond's management was its freedom from cant political, literary, religious, artistic, or whatever.

Any change in this regard can hardly be an improvement. Tho substance of Mr. Bigelow'a introductory is a sound although by no means novel definition of "the uses and abuses of journalism." Tho now editor seems to have abolished "Minor Topics" a department which Mr. Raymond created and to which he contributed much of its vitality and variety. Kentucky went the usual way yesterday.

It seems hardly necessary to say that all the State offices were fillod by Democrats, whoso majority was fifty or sixty thousand, and that the Legis turo will be nearly unanimously of the same political complexion. Tho Sim objects to the coming of tho Chinese to this country because they are sworn as wit nesBCs by an elaborate ceremony involving tho decapitation of a rooBter, the smashing of a plate, and tho burning of yellow paper. "Hen coops," says the Sun, "will have to be knookod up in the Special Term rooms, and the tax levies swelled by items for broken crookery, yellow paper, and chicken feed." This is an important consideration, but it may be doubted that with all this disbursement the Chinese in the courts will cost nearly so muoh as the Suns client or patron Fiek, now costs. Rumors of negotiations between the United States and Spain about Cuba settle upon this statement that Spain shall reoognize the independence of Cuba, reoeiving for tho relinquishment of sovereignty indemnity in a sum to be agreed upon, and payable in Cuban bonds guaranteed by the United States. This is at least a air Beeming offer and might claim the consideration of the Spanish Government, in spite of its persistent declarations that it will not sell the island.

But what follows discredits what goes before. Should the proffered terms not be ac The visit of Horace Greeley to Virginia developed in that agricultural and philosophical but sometimes passionate and profane gentleman an encouraging measure of conservatism. He de clared in favor of the prompt admission of Vir ginia representatives to Congress, and the waiving of the test oath of members of the Legiela. ture. The speech in which these and 'other views were announced was calm and courteous, and from the absence of "outspoken" personalities in Mr.

Greeley's remarks there does not appear to be "a liar" in all Virginia. The Mechanics' Institute of Buffalo proposes to hold in that city in October next an International Industrial Exhibition, designed to initiate a per manent annual exposition, of productions of mechanical art in the United States and Canada. It will include departments of fine arts and educa tion, the dwelling, dress and handicraft, chemis try and mineralogy, engines and machinery, in tercommunication, agriculture and horticulture, It is proposed to make the award of premiums jKdicious and impartial, and to give them an ex' ceptional value. Fair medals and diplomas are usually huge humbugs. Napoleon is busy about what is called "transforming a personal government into a liberal em pire." The important modifications consist in giving to the Corps Legistatif a power concur rent with that of the Emperor in initiating laws and in making ministers responsible.

The details of the so called reforms whether they are likely to prove real ones no French or other man seems to know are incorporated in a de cree of the Senate. Preparations are already making for the oele bration of the completion of the third great co temporary work designed to facilitate communication between remote parts of the world. The Mont Cenis Tunnel will bo finished in 1872, and the important event will be commemorated by an international exhibition at Turin. Sheere Ali, Ameer of CabooL like people in private life, has his family troubles, and his gray hairs, if he has any, are brought down in sorrow by the conduct of his young male relatives, who misbehave themselves after the manner of common and untitled bad boys. Bombay despatches report that one of Ali's nephews had rebelled against certain army regulations, the obj actionable character of which is not set forth, and with two other nephews had been sent to the British at Lahore for chastisement, a bread and water diet or other punishment.

Paraguay's prospects brighten, and the Brazil ians are apparently as far as ever from final success. has a position that enables him not only to defend himself but to inflict considerable damage on his enemy. Recently the rear guard of O'Barrett, a free lance in tho Allies' service, was cut off and captured, and a number of Paraguayan prisoners were recovered. A day earlier than the Tammany meeting a groat demonstration in behalf of tho Fenian prisoners was made in Limerick. Twenty thousand sympathizers marched in procession with music and banners, and an immense crowd was addressed by many speakers.

A letter to Glad stone demanding the instant release of the Peni ans was adopted. An era of industrial exhibitions is opening be fore us. Besides those mentioned the World's Pair of 1851 in London is to be repeated with improvements. The Commissioners who Berved the honor of occomplishiug the greatest perform ance of the kind on record issue a prospectus for another and similar exposition in 1871. The scientific, industrial, and artistic progress of twenty years ought to enable them to bettor their first triumph.

Although summer is not the regular season of mass meetings there was a crowded gathering at Tammany Hall last night in response to a call for a meeting to protest against the policy of the Administration toward Cuba and Ireland. Al though the imprisonment of the American citizen Halpine in an English prison, and the shooting of the American citizens Polhamus and Wyath in Cuba were the immediate occasion of complaint, it was plain that the temper of the meeting went beyond those incidental actB, and sympathy with Irish and Cuban patriots in their struggle for independence was unmistakable and enthusiastic Resolutions asserting the claim of adopted citizens to protection by the Government and condemning the attitude of the Administra tion were passed, and pertinent speeches made by Wm. M. Tweed, Mayor Hall, who presided Richard O'Gorman, Leon Abbett, Colonel Warren, and Wm. E.

This will be subject to a'' considerable subtraction for some months to come, during which time it is conceded there will be an increase of the debt.

The Tribune's London coxcomb finds fault with the debate in the House of Lords on the Church bill and likens the Peers to "a company of cab drivers drinking too much in a publio house." The value of his judgment appears in the fact than when he goes into critical details ho can find nothing worse to say than that Earl Gray fairly matches Eessenden one of the ablest and most statosmanhko of the Republican loaders. When the coxcomb wants to consign any foreign public man to everlasting infamy that is, infamy according to the Tribum he couples his name with that of some Sonator who voted against impeachment. The Presidential programme at Long Branch was vaiied yesterday by a visit to Brioksburg. Quite a large party accompanied Grant, who was elaborately received at the house of a Mr. Campbell.

Among other impressive incidents was the strewing of the Presidential path with flowers by "a large body of girls and boys ranged on each side of the entrance'" just as the grandmothers and fathers, or great grandmothers and fathers, of the people of this generation used to florally carpet the way of the immortal Washington. Another incident if loss impressive mora valuable was the presentation to Grant of fifty acres of ground, which we are told was "thankfully accepted." EMANCIPATION DAY. Tbo Colored Residents of Brooklyn and New erlt Celebrate the West Indian Emancipation. Emancipation Day was celebrated yesterday at Myrtle Avenue Park by tho colored residents of Brooklyn and New York. This was not a celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation of the "late lamented," hut of the emancipation of the slaves in tho British West Indies.

Ever since tho year 1842, these celebrations have taken place, but this year it surpassed any and all previous efforts. From an early hour, equipages and vehicles of every description, from the stylish barouche to tho low bodied rattle trap, camo rolling up to tho gate. Some came dlgnifledly and lordly as became their wealth and distinction in their social world, and others with whoop and yah yah I that startled tho contemplative white man, as he stood, with great humility at the gate, watching the festive scene. Clergymen, with round glassed spectacles, white cravats and largo with pompous air into the ground, well dressed and dignified gentlemen of African descent condescendingly entered (he gate and bestowed a patronizing nod upon the tioket laker, or, heartily and wi'h many bows and flourishes shook hands with Mr. Trower, the head and front of the celebration.

A young man, dark as the ace of spades, clad in impossible garments of irreproachable cut and color, gallantly handed in his dusky belle, whose back bore tho latest fashion. To be sure, there were numbers whose clothes would been fair game for the rag man, but the majority by large numbers were well, even handsomely attired. All the cars running in the direction of the Park, were filled all day long with these dusky celebrationists." lhe Park was well filled and if hearty laughter and much noise be any guarantee of enjoyment, then thcao folks had plenty of it. The affair was under the charge of a Committee of Arrangments, comprising these gentlemen Mr. J.

A. Trower, Charles Smith, Stephen S. Lee, David Johnson, and 3. H. Stanley, The festivities commenced about noon, and from that hour until two o'clock the pavilion was crowded with dauoers.

At that hour notice was given that the party would proceed to another part of the Grove, where the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln would be listened to. This was done by Master Theodore Giles, aged twelve years, and very handsomoly done too. After this, on orator named Powell was introduood by Mr. Trower, and he proceeded to give hia viowa upon the colored man and his relation to the country. But the Proclamation had been enough for the audience.

They had been rudely Interrupted in tbelr dancing and other festivities to listen to a loqg winded address, and they panled to get away. Finally, they got the music playing at tho pavllioD, and when Mr. Powell was finished, his audience hod dwindled down into and he was compelled to give up talking because he had nearly nobody to talk to. Tills was followed by a velocipede tournament, at whioh they had muoh fun, but tho foot race which ensued caused more amusement. Generally, good order prevailed.

There was a time, when a row was imminent. A foolish fellow connected with the beer department, Insulted a very light and pretty mulatto girl, who was a great belle, and the young pen proposed very gallontly to ohastlse him for It but the Interposition of some white men put a stop to it. Later In the day there were unmistakable sym toms of a row between a Brooklyn and WilliameburgU colored base ball club, but up to a late hour it had not broken out. Save these two Instances there was nothing to mar the general hilarity and good humor prevailing. In the evening a promenade concert took place, and over 2,000 men and maidens spent the hours in dancing to lively measures of 8 most singular sound rag ban The inn ran high, and at tunes boisterous, but never indecorous.

Tho Public Counsel. In commenting on Corporation Counsel De Witt's refusal to apply for the lifting of the Third avenne injunction before the end of the week, it seems the Eaglb mada a better excuse for him than he yesterday offered for himself.

Our supposition was that he held the city to be wrong in law and Mr. Litohfield right, and therefore he would not fight a losing battle. But, frbm the Mayor's statement before the Court, uncontradicted by the Counsel, it seems that Mr. DeWitt agreed with the Mayor that the city was right in law, but that, as Mr. DeWitt considered Mr.

Litchfield's work would be a local improvement, he would not resist the illegal way Mr. Litchfield chose to execute it. The Mayor and Street Com missioner, therefore, in order to get their views laid before the Court, had to employ another counsel, and Mr. DeWitt. not content with forbearing to argue the case for the city officers himself, opposed the hear ing of Mr.

Benedict on their behalf, but was overruled by the Court. The important point in all this is the legal attitude taken by the counsel. Ho claimed that without an express order of the Common Council, he was not bound to obey the instructions of the Mayor and Street Commissioner, in a matter con fessedly within their province, and wherein he agreed with them that thoy bad a good legal case on the city's behalf. In short, he claims a right to abandon the city's legal rights whenever his own convictions of the ultimate pubic interest will be best consulted by the abnegation of those rights. Mr.

DeWitt herein is clearly wrong both in law and policy. The charter directs the Mayor to exercise a constant supervision over the conduct and acts of all subordinate officers," and "to be vigilant and active in causing the laws and ordinances of the city to be duly executed and enforced." Mr. DoWitt is the counsel, but it is for him to obey his client or resign. The Common Council is not his only employer and client. He is described in the charter as "the legal adviser of the Mayor, and Common Council, and the several departments." He may endeavor to dissuade them from carrying on certain law proceedings, but it they insist, he, like any other legil adviser, must obey or resign.

In this case it was not only the Mnyor, the general head and supervisor of the city officers, but the Street Commissioner, the head of the department specially concerned, who ordered Mr. DoWitt to proceed, and he refused. He had not even the moral excuse that he thought his clients legally in the wrong. He puts his contumacy simply on the ground that he thought on the whole it was for the publio interest that in this case the law should not be enforced. That is not his business.

So far as there is any discretion in the city authorities to allow of illegal tampering with the streets, it must vest in the Mayor and Street Commissioner, who are specially in charge, the one directly, the other supervisorily, of the street department. The Counsel, as a lawyer, is not supposed, to have an opinion worth consulting about the street work. The principle of this matter is more important than the instance. A company of South Brooklyn capitalists might want the City Hall for an office, and if they had taken possession of it could not be dislodged by legal process, if only the Corporation Counsel thought it was on the whole for the public interest they should not be ejected. Now" the city's rights or her Counsel's duties are not limited by the personal opinion of the gentleman who may happen to be Counsel.

It is unavoidable that in employing standing counsel, great trust has to be reposed, not only in their legal skill but iu their rectitude. Their knowledge is a speciality. Their decisions no layman can question. To a great extent, they are absolutely unchecked because no one else has the means of estimating the force of the evidence which influenced them. We refer here to the District Attorney as well as to the City Counsel.

The one appears for the public in criminal cases, the other in civil. If the one says he cannot get evidence enough to convict the criminal, we are bound to take him at his word. If he chooses ho can make his county a paradise for rogues. In like manner, if the City Counsel says he cannol successfully appeal from an adverse decisions mulcting the City Treasury, or if ho conducts the case so that the city loses and tho claimant gets pay too much or twice over the city has no remedy. A City Counsel can make his city a paradise for contractors and speculators in claims.

Fortunately the legal officers of this county and city are not men who would so abuse their functiaus. But still the power is there. No other public officers can so safely operate against instead of on behalf of the public. Dick Busteed's career as Corporation Counsel of New York, will illustrate th.9 allusion, A bad or wrong headed public Counsel is a dog in the manger, who will not protect the public himself, and who blocks up the only avenue by which citizens may step in by their Counsel. Therefore the power of a public Counsel is already and necessarily very great, and it is not safe to increase it.

We are forced to defer to the Counsel when he tells us that in law there is no case. The city cannot, like a private citizen, go to another lawyer and see if he believes the case is strong enough for trial. But Mr. DeWitt now goes beyond tho advocate's and legal adviser's utmost province, when ho sets up his personal view of public policy as a reason for backing out of a city lawsuit. The city must give iu, when her Counsel decides that as a matter of law she is wrong.

But when tho Counsel goes further, and volunteers his views of city policy as a reason for surrendering to the other parly, it is necessary to remark that he claims an unreasonable addition to the discretionary powers of a functionary whose latitude in dealing with the public legal business is already and necessarily excessive, and unchecked if not unsafe, far any one official to exercise. I'lio Inebriates' Uomoi A correspondent, who has been there severely criticizes the management of the Inebriates' Home. We also have been there simply by way of visit, bo it understood and in several respects think tho correspondent's criticisms harsh and unmerited. The site is a most beautiful one, the temporary lodgings for the patients' are as good as time has permitted to be made, and the food seemed plentiful and good, though not luxurious. In fact, if it be conceded that there ought to be such an institution at all, there did not remain any matter of detail visible to our observation wherein the management is wrong.

Our objection is to the institution itself; first that it is no proper duty of the public to furnish a boarding house for professional drunkards; and secondly, that if such an institution has any claim to public money, it should be placed under public management. A quarter of a million of dollars of publio money have been appropriated for an absurd experiment of reforming drunkards by forgiving their penalty and letting them out of jail and then tho management of this public fund and institution has boen vested in a private irresponsible society, made up almost wholly of people who lend their names, without their services in the way of practical supervision. That is our complaint against the Home. If we grant that it is a good thing to provide at public cost fta place where vagabonds may go and sober off every time they run as near delirium tremens as they dare to, and that such an institution at publio cost should be under private management, why then, for all we saw of the Home, Fort Hamilton iB the right place, and Mr. Willett is a right enough man in it.

But tho whole thing in our judgment is a delusion in its theory, and an imposition on the publio treasury in its management. If it is to get any more publio money, let its operators publish, if they can, proof that any habitual drunkard ever passed through their hands to nermanent sobriety. We oan give them plenty of proofs to the contrary. If they as a to ting the street, I will come here and show you that I had a right to cut it, notwithstanding the objection of the city authorities we say that such an application ought to have been scouted out of Court. Yet this was precisely the case which the Improvement Company laid before the Court.

The presumption and the probabilities and the notorious facts were all against them. The city authorities were in charge of the street, and it was not pretended that they were doing anything to alter the status of the parties. The canal men were the aggressors they were the ones who were seeking to do a new and doubtful thing. The duty of the Courts is to restrain those who are disturbing tho existing order of things. The active party is the one to be enjoined.

But in this case the active party, finding their activity restrained by the passive objection of tho city authorities, procure an injunction to restrain the city from restraining them. It is as if a defeated claimant for an office should walk into the City Hall, eject the de facto elected officer, and then get an injunction to prevent the ejected individual from asserting his hitherto unquestioned rights until the Court had time to look further into the matter. The same principle by which Mr. Litchfield got an injunction to prevent the city from preserving its street from his interference pending the trial of the issue, would not require much stretching to enable John Smith to kick the City Treasurer out of his office, and then get an injunction to prevent his reasserting his rights within one week, during which time the impostor could make away with all the money in the Treasury. A doe3 a wrong to and then gets an injunction to forbid from interfering with him for a week, while be completes his wrong and makes it irremediable.

We insist that in this case Mr. Litchfield was the complaining party that the burden of proof lay upon him. It was not for the Court to assume, upon a mere ex parte affidavit, that the city ought to be stopped for a whole week from discharging its natural duty as the custodian of Third avenue. Nor was it for the Court to assume, on ex parte showing, that it would be safe for a week to allow a private company to go on digging away the substance of the public thoroughfare. There was no room for a temporary injunction against anybody but the private parties who were meddling with the public road.

The law presumes the city officers to be in rightful charge of the street. When therefore Mr. Higbie for the Canal Company made on affidavit that the city would n.ot let him dig through the street, the presumption of law and common sense was that the city had a right to so forbid and stop him. The Court should have simply notified the city to show cause tor its action in the premises, and moan while left matters in sialii quo. But of late years the practico has grown up of enjoining anybody from doing anything that somebody elBe alleges ought not to be done.

The temporary injunction issues as a matter of course upon tho application for it. Tuis may be the law it certainly is so universally the practice, that Judge Tappan in this case only acted as any other Judge naturally would have done, in granting tho injunction. But it is high time the Courts should refrain from being bo ready to restrain. The merits and circumstances of tho ca3e should be looked at the affidavit should be required to bo full and explicit enough to convince the Court that a real injustice may result if the party is not restrained, and that no harm will follow from the week's enforcement of the injunction order. In this case, the fuller Mr.

Higbie's affidavit was, tho more clearly it would have appeared that he was the aggressing party, and not tho authorities of whom he complained. We object to the indiscriminate issue of ex parte temporary injunctions, not only because of their liability, as in this case, to work gross injustice, by being applied by the offender to the uuoiFendmg party but because they put the Courts and Judges in an ignominious position. If the injunction is to bo issued as a matter of course because it is applied for, who is the enjoinor? Not the sovereign power of the law, but tho other party in the dispute. "We hear in the street such romiirks as this: "I'll clap an injunction on you." Anybody regards an injunction as a thing to be bought in a Court, as one bays a tablo in a furniture store. Pay your lawyer, sign your affidavit, and the injunction you ask for, follows of necessity.

The Judge is but an automaton, your lawyer draws everything of the injunction order but the Judge's signature and the Court seal. Our Judges are overworked, and too many of their official acts are getting to be thus mechanical. They have not time to examine the merits. Legislation jobbers pass Acts at Albany saying the Supremo Court shall appoint this and that Commission, or shall examine and certify such and such accounts. It is all meant for a blind.

They intend to go to Court when the Judge is overwhelmed with pass up documents to be signed "as a mere matter of form." There is need for reform in many such details of Court practice. Of all wrongs, those committed by and through the administration of justice are felt as the most grievous. Therefore it would be well only in the matter of applications for temporary injunctions, but of all applications for the Supreme Court to lend its venerated sanction to the ex parte applications of individuals in public matters the Bench of this district would make a practice of announcing in the Brooklyn newspapers the nature of the application before granting it. The public interest would gain and no private wrong could be done by tho two days' dolay. Let the ex parte applications bo reported, whether for mere appointments as commissioners or for tho audit of accounts, or for the enjoining of the city or any other corporation.

Then capitalists will no longer talk of injunctions as if they were able to shape and predict the Court's action; and then, also, a better set of appointees on Court commissions would sometimes be seleoted. If the Grant administration are not making fame and credit by their policy or lack of policy, it is obvious that somebody is making money by Secretary Bouttrell's manipulation of the finances. Instead of having a fired avowed plan, so that every finanoier could calculate for certain what the government operations would be, Mr. Boutwell keeps the knowledge of what he is going to do from all but a few persons, and they convert their Fpe oial knowledge into abundant profit for them New York 411 1 Maine 1 Ohio Virginia 1 29 I Ireland 41 71 23 17 Germany 17 Scotland 5 Frani'0 2 Prussia 2 Poland Sweden Norway 2 Spain Nova Scotia Islo oi Guvrnsey Total Foreigners New Jersey Rhode MaEssuchuBctta.

His name is Cantrell, and be liangs around loose here iu Tennessee.

Cantrell is given to the habit of making murderous assaults on his fellow tneu. A thort timo Binco he aud his brother wore lisbiug near Hinitliville. The stortwas rather slow with biiu, but his brother, not more than fifteen yards dietaut, had an astonishing run of luck, and bauled iu I be nice plump fisb quite rupidly. Denton Cantrell, like Cain of primitive accursedneas eiavled his brother's good tortuuo, aud observing a continuation of it, he becauio exceedingly irate, 80 that bo threw down his line aud rod in a rage, and rushing toward bis inoffensive and smiling brother, ho smote hun down with a Knife, stabbed him in several places, and left him, as ho thought, for doid. He tben fled and lived for several days liiro an outcast on tbe earth.

Last weeTs he went to the houso of Dock who was married to his sister. It was in tho ovoniug. Dock was a remarkably nice, peaceablo, quiet man. Ho was nursing his first born upon hia sueo em lhe porch, while his young wile was reading the Bible aloud by his side. The sun was sinking away in the West, aud the long shadows of tbo trees were thrown across tho lawn, even to their feet.

The tops of tho distant lla were crowned with tho glory of the departing sun. Tho scene holy. Cantrell called to Jones to como to him among the bushes. Tho young wii'o was ttirtled una disturbed at iho requesi, und ouutioui her uus Laud not to go, though she couldn't tell why. James only smiled at her fi ars.

He went, and tbe noxt moment tho loud report of a guu passed through tho bouse.

He immediately fled, and has not been heard of finco. This occurred uoar Sparti. The whole neigh bojhood feel outrngod and incensed at this unprovoked deed of blood.

Young, but failed to connect with them, bb these brethren went on ahead, not knowing of tbeir coming.

Tho family then started alone, though BDflcqusinttd with the country, and about tho middle of the forty mile desort, on tho new road that leads to St George, their carriago broke down.
