CHEAP ENGLISH BOOKS FOR THE MILLION. PEOPLE'S COPIWUIGHT L'DlTfOW chase, the tradesman has to offer inducements to his customers by contenting himself with a very moderate profit At the present time the range of prices at different stores, is full twenty per cent for the same kind of articles in different localities. In the article of meat there is a difference of ten cents a pound, and on butter from ten to fifteen cents. This is a wide margin, representing the elasticity of conscience on the part of dealers, and unthrifty carelessness on the part of the majority of their customers. It seems to the latter hardly worth while to walk a block or two to save two or three cents on a small purchase, so they pay the difference to save a little trouble, and console themselves with the reflection that ecqnomy in little matters is meanness.

Yet these same people may be struck with the figures presented by the co operative advocates, which show that they may save a dollar or two a week on their grocer's bill, which amount represents the aggregate of the difference of a cent a pound on sugar, five cents on butter and so on, which they might have been saving for two or three years past by taking the trouble to find out the cheapest market and to purchase in it, though it might not be quite so convenient as the nearest corner grocery. The co operative movement will certainly accomplish one good in promoting the study of economy, leading people to examine into the differences between wholesale and retail rates, astonishing them with the aggregate of small savings on every day purchases. The Collcctoralilp of the Third District. A dispatch from Washington states that Secretary McCulloch has named Mr. James F.

Pierce for the office of Collector of the Third District, made vacant by Callicot's Sue pension from office. The nomination is now before the President, and only awaits his concurrence. The dispatch adds that, as soon as it was known Mr. McCulloch had made his selection and submitted Mr. Pierce's name for Executive approval, General Eagan, who is an applicant for the place, and who is now in Washington, and the friends of other candidates there, rushed to the White House and so far succeeded with the President as to induce him to delay the appointment Without intending to disparage other applicants for the place, we trust that Mr.

McCulloch's action will be immediately ratified. We believe that Mr. Pierce will be able to redeem the character of the District, and that his appointment will afford at once relief and gratification to the very few honest officials in this Ticinity who are struggling against great odds to protect the government and to maintain the character of those in its service. We are assured that Mr. Pierce is a gentleman of high personal character, and that on these grounds he has received the endorsement of citizens of standing, without regard to politics.

Mr. Pierce is a lawyer by profession; is a member of the New York firm of Scoville Pierce, and has resided in Brooklyn for some years. He was. formerly a resident of St Lawrence County this State, where he was born, and was elected County Clerk ol that county six or seven years ago. Our political readers know that St Lawrence is the most reliable Republican county in the State, and seldom faHs in giving a majority of 7,500 in favor of that party.

Mr. Pierce never claimed to be in full political sympathy with the majority in the county, and hence his election was a marked evidence of the estimation in which he was held by those who knew him longest and best. Even the present Senate can hardly reject a man who has been endorsed by St. Lawrence. The 'question of his rejection is not, however, now in order.

We believe that Mr. Pierce, if appointed, will show that if capacity and honesty are the accepted requirements for reyenue officers, he can present them in the redemption of the Third Collection District, which has acquired so unenviable a notoriety. The Lincoln Family Troubles. Apparently with the consent of Mrs. Lincoln, several letters are published, which will, if nothing else, secure a widely extended advertising notice for her personal effects now on sale in New York.

The publicity given to this business cannot be otherwise than mortifying to the admirers of the late President, and indeed to all who would desire to prevent a conspicuous instance ot a violation of good taste, in the parading of family private matters before the public. Mrs. Lincoln somewhat querulously complains that with an income of seventeen hundred dollars per annum, she is reduced to the verge of want, and is under the pressing necessity of immediately disposing of the most valuable portion of her wardrobe. She is very severe on the friends of her late husband, in withholding from her the amount of salary to which Mr. Lincoln would have been entitled if he had lived to the close of his term of office.

The lady cannot have notified her friends that she proposed to make her grievances public, or else the necessity for doing so would almost certainly be avoided. Seventeen hundred dollars is indeed a moderate income for a lady who has presided at the White House but Mrs. Lincoln would be more honored while living in Republican simplicity, than if enabled to dispense the hospitality which she complains he cannot afford. Her son, too, is of his appeal to the public on the ground of indigence, is more or less a reflection upon him. Mrs.

Lincoln has either been cruelly wronged, or she has good reason to complain of the action of those at whose hands she had good ground to expect the most considerate treatment When it was proposed, after Mr. Lincoln's assassination, to appropriate lor the use of his family the salary of the office up to the close of his second term, the proposition was opposed by Mr. Stevens and other leading Republicans under circumstances which made their opposition peculiarly offensive. It was stated that when the family of the Verr Bitter tetter front tbe Icly Tonch lne tbe Ingratitude of tbe Pomtclans. We yesterday had occasion to comment on the statement that Mrs.

Lincoln, widow of tbe bite President, bad offered her Jewels and a portion of her wardrobe for sale in New York. We would not bave felt justified In referring to what would seem to be a very delicate matter if it were not for tho fact that we bad a precedent in the Tribune, whose friendliness for the family of Mr. Lincoln it would not be proper to question. It now seems that Mrs. Lincoln desIreB that as much publicity as possible may be given to th sale.

Looking at the matter from a pecuniary point of view, this determination la a wise one, as a question of taste tt 1b open to discussion perhaps. This morning the following facts and letters are given apparently with Mrs. Lincoln's consent: Upon the death of Mr. Lincoln an effort was made to appropriate for his wife and family the sum that he would have received from the United Statea had he lived to finish Mb second term of office, to wit 100, 000; but it resulted in appropriating but $25,000, the amount of one year's salary as President. Of this sam, 3,000 were required to discharge certain standtag obligations, leaving about $82,000, which, with the bouse and lot In Springfield, 111., owned by Mr.

Lincoln previous to his election to the Presidency In 1860, was all the property whtch'fell to Mrs. Lincoln. Her present Income, she slates, Is but $1,700 a year, of which $300 comes from tbe rent of berold house in Springfield. It appears from this that Mr. Lincoln not only saved no money while ho occupied tbe White House, but really lived beyond bis income, which, in connection with the natural reluctance of his widow to return to the simple style of living to which she had been used before herrejidence in Washington, haB compelled her to part with some of her personal effects at the present time.

LETTER FROM MRS. LINCOLN. Appended are several letters written by Mrs. Lincoln In relation to this most unpleasant bnBiness, the contents of wbich will surprise the public. The first in order of their date, appears to be the following Cuioaoo, September 1, 1807.

Mb. Bbadt: A notice in a New York paper having attracted my attention, that you sold articles of value on commission, prompts mo to write von Tne articles I am sending you to dispose or were gifts' ofdear friends, which only urgent necessity compels me to port with, and I am especially anxious that they shall not be sacrificed. The circumstances are peculiar and painfully embarrassing, therefore I none you will endeavor to realire aa much as possibles from mew. vF.ft nvtu juu, i remain, verv respectfuuy yours, Mas. A.

Ldiooln. THE ARTICLES FORWARDED TO HEW YORK. The next letter, bearing the same date as the Dre ceding, iB aB follows CmcAoo, Sept. 1, 1807. Mr.

Brady, Commission Brtker, 009 Broadway, New York: I have this day sent to you personal property which I am compelled to part with, and which you will find of considerable value. The articles consist of five camel's hair shawls, lace dress and shawls, a parasole cover, a diamond ring, two dress patterns, some furs Ac. Please have them appraised, and confer by letter with me. Very Respectfully, Mrs. A.

MRS. LINCOLN'S OPINION OF REPUBLICANS. A significant feature of tho subsequent letters and memoranda iB the Jceling entertained by Mrs. Lincoln towards leading Republicans. She complains bitterly that men who beBought her influence to secure their official positions, ana were profuse with promises if she would gratify their wlshCB, now give her tho cold shoulder.

Certain persons of thatparty, snch as Thur low Weed, Henry J. Raymond, WiiUam H. Seward, and others, she 1b particularly severe against, and claims tbat it was through their Influence that the plan proposed by the Tribune to raise a fnnd for her by the voluntary subscription of the people was thwarted. 'At this point tbe following memorandum, the original being in Mrs. Lincoln's own handwriting, is given The question was asked Mrs.

Lincoln what her feelings were in regard to the Republican party, in consideration of the unklndness and ingratitude displayed by them in depriving her of almoBt all means of support, the reply was, "I could not relinquish my attachment for tho party to which; my husband belongod, and in whose cause his precious life waa sacrificed, notwithstanding it is composed of snch mon as Weed, Raymond, and Seward, who nominally belong to it, and who to accomplish their purposes would drag it down to the lowest depths of degradation. The late President thoroughly tCBtoi theso had become fully aware before his death of their treachery and falsenesB." MRS. LINCOLN UNDER. AN ASSUMED NAME. As the negotiations with Mr.

Brady proceeded, Mrs. Lincoln deemed it best that her name Bhould not appear, the reasons for which aro given in the following extract from a letter written by nor Extract of a letter from Mrs. Lincoln. Through tho ingratitude of the Republicans towards the memory of the lamented President, the family of mcir cnei una oeen icu 10 saner want ana aostltn tion. Therefore it is natural to Bnppose that when it became imperatively necessary for Mrs.

Lincoln, the honored and beloved wife of the late President, to dispose of apparel and jewelry to enablo her to meet the common daily necessities of life, it was certainly in better taste tbat Mrs. Clarko, rather than Mrs. Lincoln, should appear in the proceeding. Although in bcr overwhelming sorrow she was by an ungrateful Republican party deprived of her rightful maintenance, they should appreciate her delicacy in desiring her true name and their own ignominy from being known to the world. SUBSEQUENT LETTERS.

The next letter presents more in detail the reasons for her action In this sad matter, and at the same time expresses her regret tbat the ingratitude of Republicans may do injury to the Republican party Chicago, Sept. S3, 1867. IV. B. Brady, You write me that reporters are after yoa concerning my goods deposited with you which, in consideration of my great wants, I assure you I am compelled to relinquish and also that there is a fear that these' newsmen will seize upon the painful circumstances of 5 our having theso articles placed in your hands to injure the Republican party politically.

In the cause of this party and for universal lrcedom my beloved husbands precious life was sacrificed, nor fur the world would I do anything to Injure the cause. My heart is ever anxious for its Bncccss, notwithstanding the very men for whom my noble husband did bo much, unhesitatingly deprived me of all means of support and left me in a pitiless condition. The necessities of life are upon me, urgent and imperative, and I am scarcely removed from want so different from the lot my lovinj; and devoted huBband wonld have assigned me and I find myself left to struggle for myselr. I am compelled to pnrsuo the only course left me immediately within the next week to sell these goods, and if not whally disposed of by Wednesday, October 30th, on that day please Boll them at auction, after advertising very largely that they are my goods. Very respoctfully, Mas.

A. Lincoln. A STILL FURTHER EXPLANATION. Tbe last lotter of wbich mention will be made at this time iB the following Private. September 25.

W. H. Brady, Esq. I have reflected upon your remarks, and have concluded to leave everything to your good judgment and excellent sense. Afygreac, great sorrow Btxdloas hare made me painfully sensitive; but as my feelings and pecuniary comfort were never regarded or even recognized In tbe midst of my overwhelming bereavement, now tbat I am pressed in a most startling manner for means ol common subsistence I do not know why I snouid shrink from an opportunity of improving my trying position.

Being assured that all you do wlU be appropriately executed, and in a manner that will not startle me very greatly and excite as little comment as possible, again I shall leave all in your handB. I am passing through a very painful ordoal, which the country, in remembrance of my noble and elevated husband, should have spared me. I remain, with great respect, very truly, Mns. Likcolh. P.

a. As yon mention that my goods have been valued at $24,000, 1 will bo willing to make a reduction of $8,000. and relinquish them for $16,000, in flve twentieB nothing less. If this ib not accomplished, I unntlniiA tn iirlirnrlffln lnvrvnlv nmll nvnm n.Knln ta sold. I must have means to five, at least in a medium comfortable state.

Mns. L. Police Trials Two Brooklyn Cases. The Police Commissioners held their usual meeting for bearing complaints against policomcn yesterday at headquarters, New York, Mr. Acton in tbe ohalr.

Two caseB, In which Brooklyn offlceers arc concerned, were called, but only one was investigated, the other being adjourned for a week in consequence of the absence of tho complainant. FAILED TO DISCOVER A BURGLARY. Henry C. Glucker, a shoe store proprietor in Greon point, charged Officer Marshall, of the Forty seventh Prcc'nct, with falling to discover a burglary, which was committed on bis premises on the 19m of August lost. Glucker deposed that he closed his store at 11 o'clock on the night of the 18tb, and shortly after went to bed In a chamber above it between three and four o'clock he was awakened by the barking of his dog, and the noise of something being rolled about he thought that the disturbance was next door, and did not get opto sec about it.

About seven o'clock his clers went down to open tbe store and found the lock hanging to tho door In a broken condition; as tbe lock was a padlock there was no appearance of its having been fractured. Entering tbe store with bis clerk, who bad called him down, Mr. Glucker at once saw that burglars bad been in the premises; tbe safe bad been wrenched open and all the drawers rifled, bat as nothing was in them nothing was taken. On further Investigation it was found that about twenty pairs of shoes bad been stolen. Mr.

Glucker asserted that the burglars could not have been less than half an hour in the store, and complained against Officer Marshall for not discovering their presence in or around the building. Officer Marshall said in defence that his suspicions were aroused on the night in question, and that he was therefore very careful in his examination of tbe doors along his route. Between two and three he tried every ono of his 125 doors, and found Mr. Glncker's lock all fast; he then went to the end of bis beat. When coming up again, about half past three, be met two men, bat as there was nothing suspicious about their appearance, he did not stop them, but he tried tbe doors again and found them all rieht.

Between four and five I tried the lock in question and lound it net; when I came np the next time I was in a hurry to get to my relieving post, and did not get time to try it. Mr. Acton What is the first thing yon are Instructed to do wbengolng on duty Officer Try my doors. Mr. Acton What fa the last thing before you go off! Officer Try my doota.

Mr. Acton Thieves generally pick relieving time for the commission ol their depredations, and therefore we devised tho plan of testing locks Immediately before and after every change. If you had obeyed your Instructions yon might bave caught these men. Decision reserved. AN INDECENT ASSAULT.

The case in which Officer Brennan. of the Forty ninth Precinct. Is charged by Ann McNally with an Indecent assault, was adjourned until next week. Mrs. McNally's affidavit sets forth that Brennan deliberately entered a bonse in which she waa, took indecent liberties with her there, and subsequently carried her off bodily to a stable, wbere ba made attempts to commit an outrage upon her, but was fortunately frightened away by the advent of another woman.

No. 8 Alden street, kept by a woman know as Frank Howard, was tbe scene of an attempted murder and suicide between nine and ten o'clock last night, the particulars of which we detail below: It appears tbst among the Inmates of the house Is a girl named Florence A.

Blake, alias George, of handsome ftice and figure and cultivated manners. A'weck or ten days since a man named Frederick A. Bibcock, about thirty years of age, a man apparently with plenty of money, balling from Cincinnati, was amon" tbe callers at tbe bonse, and he at once apon seeing this woman became enamored of her to such an extent that he left the hotel wbere he had been stopping and took up bis quarters entirely with her, totally regardless of conseanences. So comnlitRir 1 was he with her charms that, as we learn, heproposed lite and fly with him on wings of love to the West, where, surrounded by all the luxuries which his plethoric purse could procure, and joyons in each other's affection, they might forget her past shame and both live honorably and happily together To his fond entreaties and to the brilliant picture be drew she dfiered objections, urging that tTailty like hers could not long remain concealed, and discovery would involve film and bis family in irretrievable ruin and shame; anduhe held forth as another reason why all other circumstances being favorable, sho conld not comply, the fact of her having a husband Hvtn nrhinh alone would orecludo the consummation of so mack nt in finite of these and other ntmtnr1oa nhut. inrew in lua way 01 ms pjan ne continued unreasonable and finally Imperative in bis demand giving her the alternative of death or tbe acceptance of hiB proposal.

Jihc placed no credence In the threat and con tinned ber association with him. But Babcock was more terribly In earnest than she supposed, and meeting ber again in one of tho chambers ot the house, again told nei she must consent to marry or die. She again refused, whereupon be produced a small Smith Wesson revolver and presenting it to ber head, fired. Sho waa quick enough to dodge it, however, and the ball struck In the celling. Baffled In his attempt he took aim again, bnt Florence was quick enough to jump behind a sofa and to save herself a second time.

Babcock then placed himself between the girl and the door to prevent her escape, and prepared to fire a third Lime, ijiugin, uuwerer, oaanjy maae lor tbe folding doors which separated tbat room from the next and happily succeeded la escaping a third time from the Infuriated man. Babcock next turned his attention to himself. He presented the pistol to Mb head and fired, but instead of reaching oblivion he succeeded only in making an ugly wound high on the left cheek. The ammunition being exhausted, Babcock produced a penknife and stabbed himself several times In the left breast onca penetrating the lung. At this juncture the other inmates of the house aroused by the pistol shots and screams of the Blake woman, had reached the Bcene, and lound the young man faint with excitement and loas of blood, sinking to the floor, and the walls and carpet atalned with his blood.

A phyBlclan who was speedily summoned pronounced tho wound dangerous, and adviBed the removal of the patient to the Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was taken by Officers Leavitt and Sleeper. At a late hour he waa sensible and comfortable. The girl manifested an attachment for him by going to the hospital and obtaining permission to nurse him during hia sickness. The Tiger Vanqnlsed A Qnartermas. ter's Clerk Loses $950 in a Faro Bank Tho Gamblers Compelled to Bis.

gorge. From the Nashville Banner. On Saturday evening a clerk employed in theOuartcrmaster's Department, waa entrusted with $700 to carry to the express office. He arrived after bueineBs hours, or, as otherB have tt, the office was closed. He was in need of money.

Here tbe temptation "was presented of using the funds ia bis possession for tne purposo of relieving him of his embarrassments. There was no barm In Tt he did notmean to steal the money it waB simply borrowing on short time he would win hia pile and have Uncle Sam's greenbacks safe in the express office by ten o'clock Monday morning. Tbe doore of a gambling saloon on Cedar street were wide open to all each specious reasoners, and he entered After a brief boat with the tiger, tbe clerk found himself minus every dollar he had brought with him. Driven to desperation he lll.n Bll tAnAH)annJ nan.M 1 1 line ail iucAri.iigui.cu gaiuuaiD, BCl auum atlCmptlllg to repair bis loss by new ventures. Posting ofi toa friend, ho borrowed $250 "for a few momentB," returned to tbe faro bank, and waB again cleaned out.

The defalcation could not, of course, be long concealed from Colonel Moore. That officer thought half a loaf better tban no bread, and offered to compromise with the gamblers for $400, but tbe winners couldn't see it in that light. Last Sunday a gentleman, who docs not desire his name to be mentioned, bnt who held a very high position In the Quartermaster's Department at this point during the war, took the matter in hand, and swore he'd have that money back, Repairing to the saloon on Cedar street he boldly bearded the tiger in his den and actually succeeded in recovering the $700 belonging to tbe government. Whether he succeeded by threats of Interference on the part of the military authorities, and hints at imprisonment in the penitentiary, as in tbe old war times, or by the display of a stern courage and determination which were not to be resisted, we did not learn. The most singular part of tbe affair was tbat the $250 which ho did not recover belonged to himself.

The clerk had borrowed it of his neent a fact of which the gallant tiger fighter was not aware when he entered the den. Imagine his disgust at learning tbe real facts of tbe caae, Tronble Among the Freedmen Tragedy tn Charleton County. IFrom the Savannah News, Sept. 21. We are informed that a serious difficulty took place at Camp Plnckney.

Cbarleton county, on last Saturday afternoon about 8 o'clock, between Mr. Lancaster. overBeer for Col. E. Bucks, who has a distillery at that placo, andsome negroes employed, resulting in the shooting in the thigh of one of the negroes.

No further difficulty occurred during that day; hut on Sunday afternoon two negroos, armod with double barreled gnns made their appearance at Mr. Lancaster's house and demanded satisfaction for the injury done the other negro on Saturday, stating at the same time that tboy intended to take his life. Three persons who were in a back room of Mr. Lancaster's residence beard the reports of eleven shots, and on repairing to tbe front of tbo bouse, they found Mr. Lancaster standing in tho door, pistol In hand, ond one of tho negroos lying dead about sixty yards from Hie house and another wounded, with their guna near them, which were found to have been recently discharged.

Mr. Lancaster was seriously wounded, having received several buckshot In his hands and body, and his horse, wbich was hitched In front ol the door, was killed. On the succeeding Monday Mr. LancaBtci and Captain Tim Nungazer, a gentleman who was In the house at the time ofthc difficulty, were'arreatert, but after a full hearing before Judge R. A.

Baker and a magistrate, were acquitted. On tbat day Messrs. Lancaster and Nungazer started for St Mary's, and on arrival there tbey were arrested by a sergeant ol the Federal troops, but upon showing thai they had been examined by the civil authorities and acquitted, be released them. Soon after thfs abont twenty armed negroos seized them and threatened vengeance. Mr.

Nungazer succeeded in escaping by swimming the river, but Mr. Lancaster was taken off by them, and It ia feared he has been murdered. Much excitement exits in Charleton county. matrimonial Inconvenience. From tho New Albany Ledger, 27.

The mailhoat Potomac came down from Cincinnati loat night crowded to overflowing with passengers. Every state room In the cabin, as well as every foot of space on the cabin floor wsb occupied by passengers. In fact, the Potomac was jammed, yet like an omnibus tbat is never full, she took on passengers at every landing. At Madison a bridal party came down to see a bride and groom who had JnBt been married, off on the boat. Tha boat only stopped a few moments at the landing, and they came on board, llttlo thinking that every foot of spaco waB occupied.

Tho bridegroom soon made bis way to tbe office and called for a room, but was informed tbat there was none vacant. He begged, plead, and entreated, but all to no purpose, as it was Impossible, the clerk said, to give him a room. The young Benedict even told the clerk he bad just been married, but even tbat failed to excite the compassion of tbe man of quills. Finally, in despair, tbe bride room seated himself in a chair alongside bis virgin ride, and slept until tbe boat reached Jcffersonvillo thiB morning, where ho disembarked. The last beard of him he was ascendlng the hill in search of a hotel; despondently singing 'Thou art so near and yet so far." Cowhldlng Extraordlnary i From the Lafayette (Ind.) Courier, 2gd.

About ten o'clock this morning a well known grocer, whose name we have been nnable to obtain, was seen emerging from an alley on South street with a pair of number nine boots in close proximity to his coat tall. He was evidently In a hurry. It seems tbat bo bad become enamored of tbe personal appearance of a respectable married lady, residing on that street, and had intimated to tbe sorvant girl that fifty dollars would be no object to obtain an interview. In fact he was ready to squander tbat amount of currency for tbe felicity of a single hour in hor sweet preEence. Tha proposition was made in thiB form by the servont girl to her miBtress, who, like a true wife, told be husbona of tbe insult and asked bis advice.

Tbe first impulse of the enraged bnsband wsb to wring hia nock, bnt upon reflection, he determined to set a trap for the gentleman and warm his jacket. By his advice tbe wire assented to an Interview at the house, and ton o'clock this morning was named as the blissful honr. Prompt to the minute the festive dealer in dandelion coffee, brooms and snch, mado his appearance, disguised in a clean shirt, a broadcloth coat, and other stunning paraphernalia. He was evidently gotten up for tno occasion. He knocked timidly at the front door, and was ushered Into the parlor by the servant girl.

He was not kept long in suspense. The back door opened and In came the lady with her bnsband. Mr. Groeer turned very red in tbe face, and grew very pale. The husband made no apology lor an appearance in bis shirt sleeves, but proceeding to business, drew a heavy raw bide from his vest pattern, and began to lay it on In fearful earnest.

Tho blows fell thick and Mr. Dandelion begged pfteouely. but tbe Irate husband only Bandoapered him the more fiercely, and he was glad to escape by tbe back door with bis life. He went out tbe back gate and ontthe aUoy, as though he had been shot out of a cannon. A clerical 8ensatlpji 1b Louisville, Ky.

Calvert, the Treasurer of theatre, we learn tbe following, which is tbe correct version pf tbe affair; On Wednesday, a clergyman of our city, well known to Mr. Calvert, called at the box office of tho theatre, and expressed to Mr. Calvert a strong desire to see the great play of the Black Crook," but felt apprehensive of pnbUc sentiment in the event of his being seen in such a place. Mr. Calvert informed him tbat he wonld permit him to occupy the box office in front, and would open the Inside door, through which ho could get a fnll view of all tbo charms In the last scene.

That be conld como in at abont tea o'clock, and tbe gas wonld be lowered In tha office, so that no one would observe him, after which he could slip out of the front door, without tho slightest danger of his being discovered; The clergyman, accepted tbe offer, and it was understood that he should attond on that night. Mr. Calvert waited for blm to come, and had all things arranged, but he did not moke bis appearance. On tbe following day, however (Thursday), tbo infatuated clergyman called at the office again, tn company with a distinguished minister from a Bister State, whom be lntrodnced to Mr. Calvert, stating that be tn hia lffa aoAn V.

A JUKI 111 ma iuw fcuu ubiiic ui a llinwili nun UkehtmBelf, was very much afflicted with "Back Crook on the brain." Mr. Calvert Invited them into the theatre, and showed them all through, it una then arranged that tber Bhould attend that night, and avail themselves of Mr. Calvert's offer to keep them from public view. Night came and so did the clergymen, bnt Instead or carrying out the programme, they appeared at the door In dlsgnise, both having false wbukers worthy the face of a Black Donald." They got a Uttlo boy to purcbaso two tickets for tne sccona tier, on wmcu insy possea m. Ths dnor keener at once saw through their disguise.

After watching them closely for some time, he sent word to Officers Gallagher and Scay that he had two Bnsplclous char t.tr?nr, ataira. whom It wonld be well to arrest The officers accordingly went up stairs and (bond the two gentlemen slttlnsr in the second tier, apparently very much absorbed In the play.

The Grading and Paving Committee of the Common Council met last evening at the'Clty HaU Aid. O'Reefie in the chair.

The petition of J. P. Strykerand others, dated Sept 10th, asking to be granted a lease of tbe tunnel under Atlantic street, between Hlcka and Court streets was taken up. The petitioners asked for the privilege of cutting entrances from property at or above Clinton street, under the Bidewalk, and gas, water and sower pipes, to the tunnel, and to partition tbe same with walls, for the purpose of general storage, excepting explosive articles. Mr.

McCue, Corporation Counsel, gave it as his opinion that there exists no authority for the oxprrloa of the power aBked for, the title to the land wi thin the tunnel not being, In his opinion, vested in the City of Brooklyn tbe public Saving acquired only casement or right of way over the land, the tmblic jurisdiction Is therefore limited to the exercise or such powers In relation thereto as are necessary for the Dre servatton of the street; subject to this servitude the title to tbe land remains undisturbed. The Committee will therefore report adversely to the petition. In relation to paving Fort Greone place and Portland avenne with Nicolson pavement the Committee decided to report adversely. As to the paring of Cumberland street with Nicolson pavement, rarlhar time was given the Corporation Counsel to render an opinion. After the transaction of some farther unimportant routine bUBlness the Committee adjourned.

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. Tho Committee appointed to investigate the mat rer of several petitions for paving having been lopt, met last evening at the Bame place as the Grading and Paving Committee, Aid. Hinsdale in the chair. Aid. H.

L. Guck, of the Grading and Paving Committee, being Bwom and asked if he remembered having seen or bad in his possession petitions for the paving of Seventh street from Third to Fourth avenues: street, between Franklin and Classon avenues; Wvckoff Noitrand avenue from Broadway to the Cityllrie.and Pierrepont street, Bald that he did not to the best of his recollection, but that if his name was attached to the Pierrepont street report, he must have seen that petition aid not recollect ever having seen that petition had no recollection as to whether Nicolson or Belgian pavement was recommended in the report, though he bad Bald that Aid. O'Eeefie Bald he (O'Keeffe) had the petition in bis possession; persons having a key to the Committee box bad access to such petitions, but witness had not such key, never tookany petitions from the Street Commissioner's office, and know noth ing aooui me ucmvivu ui quctiuuu. Aid. O'Keeffe, chairman of tbe Grading and Paving Committee, was sworn and asked similar questions He said he did not know where the petitions were now; had seen them in coarse of duties on the Committee; did not know where the Pierrepont street petition was now, or where he last saw.it; one of the clerks had said that he showed the witness the petition and had never seen it since, but witnesB has bad no knowledge of It, and la positive never saw it since laid it on the clerk's desk at the time did not recollect having Bald he knew where it was, but did think at one time that the Portland avenne petition (In witness's possession) was the one in qeestion had no knowledge as to how the word "Belgian" was put in the report instead of" Nicolson," as that must have been done by some of tbe clerks.

Aid. O'Keeffe said he desired to have some of the clerks in the City Clerk's office examined, to show how the reports and petitions were put together and thus sent to the printer's bands. The chairman said he would do so, and the Committee adjourned. THE BATLROAD COMMITTEE. Tbis committee, before whom the matter of allowing tbe South Side Ballroad to enter the city, was to have been heard last evening, adjourned for two weeks at the request of Mr.

McCue, who deBired further time to coneider some points bearing on tbe question. A laree number of citizens ol the Eastern District were present last evening, desiring to bo heard in the matter and probably a stUl greater number will be on hand at the next meeting.

THE FASHIONS.

More About the Fall Styles. We noticed one opening by Brooklyn milliners of the FallBtylee. Tho subject was not then exhausted, fashion is an exhaustible subject, though it is liable to exhaust some exchequers. Some of our emporiums of fashion delayed their opening day until tbis week, either to prolong the pleasures of the ladles, or for fear, of dazzling them too much by; opening all at once. The fine weather, suggesting an amendment to the poetical figure about Winter and Spring to the effect of Summer lingering in Ihe lap of Autumn, snggcBted a postponement of the introduction of Fan and Winter styles.

Biglow 185 Fulton street, have their opening to day, and are fully prepared to meet tbe consequences, an avalanche of lady visitors who bave dono the earlier houses, and come with critical eye to compare notes. In the millinery line, the busy B. Co. devote themselves to ROUND HATS, of which they have a bewildering display. To begin with they bave fifteen different shapes and an endless variety of trimmings, which may be understood when it la stated that no two hats aro trimmed allko out of some two hundred on exhibition.

The most attractive Btyles are the Lotto, piquant and pretty like their nameBakc, the Berlin, very stylish, and the Cora, simple and elegant. The material is felt or velvet, and the colore, white, pearl, brown and black. A new Bhade of brown, called the Bismarck. Is the novelty of the season, it 1b a delicate and beautiful tint, and is used both for the body of the hat and for trimming, it shows to best advantage in velvet. A feature of the prevailing styles Ib to match In color tho hat and trimmings, avoiding all glaring contrasts.

Biglow Co. fit all ageB with head attiro, and they have children's hats in all varieties. There are three very pretty styles for small children, known as the Melrose, the Star and the Daisy, either of which Would be a crowning glory to mamma's pet. Finally B. Co.

FUB8. On such a day as this It seems unseasonable to talk of furs, but the winter will Boon bo here, and we shall be glad to nestle in their warm embrace. It is consoling to know that furs are a good deal cheaper than they have been for a few years past. Tuerc are changes in the fashion of furs qb in all other things, not In tbe description of fur. sable still reigns bu Jircmc, with mink, squirrel, In order, and ermine or the opera and for children.

But the style Is changingthe boa which comforted our grandmothers Tb coming In'agaln. Its dimensions are modest as yet, and tied once round the neck tho ends will not tail below the waist. The simple collar is still worn, but a new style, something between the collar and tbe victorlno, with crochet trimmings and tassels has been introduced. The fur bnsineas is one of the specialities of Messrs. Biglow who are prepared with a heavy stock, among which are some superb Itnsaian sables, and some unique and pretty designs in children's furs.

Fur cuffs seem to be dispensed witb, the muff and collar only being worn now. GENTLEMEN'S HATS. After giving so much attention to the ladiea we clnan with a word about the gentlemen's Btyles of hats. Gentlemen's hats will bo worn as usually on the top of the head. Wearing them on one side, or over the left eye, subjects the wearer to.

suspicion of knowing too much. Wearing the hat on the backoftbe head suggests rural Bimplicitv. ana invites tho attention of patent safe operators. The variety of materials used for gentlemen's hats shows great fertility of resources on the part oi the batters, comprising as it does silk and felt, varied by felt and silk. Cloth, too is sometimes used for soft hats.

Straw hats will not be worn much this winter. The shapes are almost as variouB as the material. In colors, every shade of black is HBed, and occasionally brown. The hats are not so high In the crown as they used to be, but the brims are wider, bo that you get about the same quantity for your money, hatters being more conscientious than the milliners. Tho form iB bell shapodt with the brim gracefully curled.

The soft, shapeless folt hat Is out of date, and the styles are an improvement, a trifle larger in size and wialh of rim, and in place of tho fiat cop, the gracefully ronudod dome is restored. Amusements. The Opera. Our new Mexican prima donna, Angela Peralta, will make her ro entree at the Academy of Music, In the role in which she captivated us last season, Elvira, in "I Purllani." She will be supported by Signor Anastasi, the new tenor, Slgnors Bellini and Antonucci. The new ballet dancers, Mile.

Sand and Mods. Harnig will make their debnt here this evening. The Park Theatre. A. crowded house greeted the appearance of Mr.

E. L. Davenport kcre last evening. One of the first of American actors, Mr. Davenport has always been cordially welcomed to Brooklyn.

He appeared as Othello, and his performance was characterized by that evenness throughout, which marks all his impersonations. Shakspeare has not a more scholarly representative on the American stage than Mr. Davenport. Avoiding all stage clap trap.tdeclamatory vehemence and effort to make 'points' which others actors use to win applause, Mr. Davenport gives a noble, dignified and natural Impersonation of the Moor.

Mr. Conway appeared as logo, in which since he first appeared In it at tbe old Broadway Tl ta with Forrest, twelve years ago, be has had no rival, the performance Is a consummate piece of art. Mr. Claude Hamilton was an excellent Cassia, and Mr. Chippendale, a worthy Srabantio.

Miss Laura Queen was the Desdemona and Miss Violet Campbell Emilia. To night Mr. Davenport will appear in "Hamlet supported by Mr. Conway ot the Qaost, Hooley's Opera House. The gay and festive crowd flock to Hooley's, Insisting upon it that laughter Is the great end of entertainment, and the present bill being good for an unlimited number of laughs, without Intermission, its merits need be no further disclosed.

People are bo addicted to laughing that even the tragic end of "Me'dear" will not move them to tears, although It Involves the wholesale slaughter of aU the dramatis personae. A Disgusted Auditor. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Allow me a line or more to express my disgust at last night's performance of "Myrrha." Tha prompter could be beard all over the bouse literally reading the entire play to the actors, Btstori not excepted. What would he thought of our own theatres and actors did they allow such an indiscretion It was enough to make a nervoas being quit his mortal abode To ub It seems surprising that actors who have been over the Bame ground a hundred times cannot remember their parts better.

The New York Times endeavors to account for the against the Radical party on the ground that the peoplo are not moved by increasing love of the Democrats so much as repelled by disgust with the extreme measures of the Radical leaders.

It says "Tie Democrats ore counting largely on the reaction' said to bo eoinjr on for victory in the coming elections. President Johnson, it la evident, aleo believes in the alleged political reaction in public sentiment, and expects ftom tt similar results. That the public mind has become disgusted with the extreme measures of many prominent men in the Union party we have little doubt. The evident determination of some among them, not only to secure the colored race in the enjoyment oi equal rlght3, but to give them absolute ascendency in the government of the country, has repelled very many who have hitherto acted with the Republican parly. Tbero is no doubt, moreover, that the violence and reckless partisanship which has marked much of the action and more of the speeches of Republican leaders, the disregard of Con slilulional obligations, the maniffest determination to keep political power in their own hands, by whatever means, and the evident purposo to exclude the Southern States from the Union vntl! they can rely on their support of the most radical tnersures of public and of party policy, have caused very many members of that party to distrust the wisdom and the patriotism of those who have usurped to leadership and control.

This is precisely "what's the matter." From the nature ot things the extreme men of the Republican party must continue to rule it, and to shape its policy as they have done almost from the first day of its existence. It is unfortunate for the party, and still more unfortunate the country, that Republicans are united only on the single issue growing out of negro slavery. If the position of parties were reversed on the question of tariffs, or on the necessity of maintaining the control of the States over their own concerns even now that the disturbing element of slavery is removed, the Republicans could afford to settle the question of reconstruction, and could hope to go before the country on other issues with a chance of success. The virtual leaders of the Radical party never claimed nationality of sentiment. Their whole lives have been spent in abusing and vil lifying a section.

The true friend of his country hopes for thercconcilliation of its people the moment it is effected the men who have fomented strife will be remembered only to be avoided. Having but a single point of unity, while holding power, even in the North by slender majorities, the party cannot break with any of the factions of which it is composed. The boldest, the ablest, and most exacting leaders, are those who either desire no office for themselves, or men in office who fairly represent the views of extreme States or Districts. Of the first class; Mr. Phillips is the representative.

He never hesitates to assert his right to rule or his disposition to ruin. Personally, he cares nothing tor office, nor do his followers. A "split in the party" is the chief of all misfortunes to the professional politician. It has no terrors for Mr. Phillips.

His main ambition is to be before the public, and to occupy a position in advance, as he thinks, of a majority of the people. The influence of men of this class on a party may easily be imagined. They have the co operation, too, of men who represent the more extreme New England States, who may count on being sustained at home while at issue with everybody abroad. Here is a party with still a single issue, and despite the prestige of carrying through a great war, struggling to maintain an ascendency which they hold by weak and lessening majorities; is it to be wondered at that Phillips and his adherents are powerful, always coming to the attack with the rallying of ascendency or division? Nobody ought to know better than the editor of the Times tbe power of the minority, of whose truculency so many Republicans feebly complain. When the associated leaders are driven to choose between Phillips and Raymond, for instance, they seldom hesitate.

The latter was cuffed out of the National Republican Committee, and was ridiculed in Congress for unavailing opposition to the Radical element, but is he not now begging to get back To the Syracuse Convention hiB co offenders were willing to enter by the back door. They claimed no voice there; only the poor privilege of being recognized. Has anybody ever heard the Wendell Phillips faction piteously appealing to a Rspubli can convention He dictates his terms and if the Republican party does not at least attempt to comply with them, they may count on liia opposition. Of course they might defy him, if the negro was out of politics, but unfortunately, as we have said, it is on this negro question alone the Republican leaders can hope to agree. Butler and Greeley can be in direct antagonism on the mo3t important questions of finance; Wilson and Schurz may be at vaiiance on liquor prohibition; the Post and Tribune may quarrel daily on free trade as against prohibitory tarriffs, but a coalition is always hoped for on the inevitable darkey.

Phillips and his associate extremists have so shaped the policy of their party, and through it of the country, that the negro element will be for years to come a political power. There is far less chance of eliminating the negro, from politics than there was the first hour Phillips and Garrison opened their anti slavery agitation. The unnatural relations of the two races at the South will afford occasion for interference on the part of the general Government The negroes henceforth will be a direct power, and Phillips already boasts of his ability to use it. The Times truthfully enough states the grievances of the more moderate Republicans; they can escape from them only by pursuing a course exactly opposite to that which its Editor has followed in his recent political career. If all Republicans like Mr.

Raymond were ambitious of such distinction as is to be won in public life we might well fear that men would sacrifice parry to country. But as it is not so we have no apprehension on that score. Co Operation and Prices. Under the inspiration of high prices and high rents the co operative movement is making great progress. Co operative stores are springing up in different parts of the city, and there is a co operative land association which promises to rid the poor man from the tyranny of landlords.

Although this principle holds good at all times, it is only in seasons of universal dearness of living that the people seem to think of it. We hear nothing now of the mutual coal companies which wore called into existence three or four "years ago, when coal sold at double the present prices. Dealers must make' a profit on coal at six dollars a ton, and there is as much room for co operative principle to work to profit as when coal retailed at fourteen dollars. The object of co operative purchasing agencies is to save to the consumers the profit made by the middlemen, who stand between producer and consumer, and speculate at the expense of both. As the coal dealers, more probably from necessity than choice, have made the mutual coal organizations obsolete by selling coal at reasonable prices, so the grocers and provision dealers may render co operative stores un nccessaty by selling their merchandise a reasonable profit over the market rates, eperative stores will force them'Aato this sooner or later, and the more support the XT movement, the sooner tbe j.

,1 5' ueaiers must come down to lair nrices market rates" are' rear their family suppT geerally paymg a great deal more than a iVr profit to the dealer The people are them. selves largely to blame for this. Many of them carelessly pay whatever is asked, and keeping ignorant of the wholesale rates' cannot tell whether they are imposed on or not There is by no means a uniformity 0f prices amcng the grocers, butchers and general dealers of the city. Prices differ according to neighborhoods. In sections of the city where the population is of the well to do class who let their servant girls do the marketing, the grocer and butcher charge what they please.

Where thehead of thefamily makes the purchases the dealer is more moderate in his demands; and in the poorer localities where the residents find it a tight pinch to lire, and have to ponder orer erery little pur fied that "an Sunday he went 19 Mr. Shield's livery stable in East Houston street, and engaged two carriages. He complimented Mr. ShleldB on the style of hls.tnrn outs, at the same time asking him whether there was sot some place near where they could get some beer. Mr.

Shields thought there was, and there upon conducted blm through a rear entrance to his stable, communicating with the lager beer saloon kept by William Sayre. Not supposing his new patron to be an officer, Mr. Shields introduced him to his neighbor 'as all right on the The officer, after im bibing and paying, arrested his host; after which transaction he countermanded the order for the car riages." The dealer's license was revoked, tt would seem that it ought to be difficult to secure respectable men as officers of a force a part of the duties of which is such stoolplgeoning as is here described. The sys tem is bad enough at best, but when it is employed for the purpose of keeping npa show of business before the Excise Commissioners, 'while large dealers are permitted to drive a brlBk trade with impunity, it is more tban discreditable. It is a familiar fact that no cities of near tbe magnitude of New York and Brooklyn have so limited market facilities.

On this slae absence of accommodations 1b noticeable on the other inconvenient arrangement, fUth, and general mismanage ment are apparent. walk through the markets of other cities is a breakfast appetizer an inspection of tbe principal markets in the largest city of America disinclines one to eat for a week. It appears that the value of tbe market property owned by tbe city is $5,000,000. The revenues for the last four yearB amounted to $778,270 80, and tho expenses $829,419 88. The city really received $148,850 97, or $110,963 74 a year.

America was well represented at the Pan Anglican Synod, not only by clergy but by laity of both soxes. There were New Entrlandere and Southerners, New Yorkers and Westerners.

The law requiring tenement houses to be flro proof is not popular with the owners of such houses. They hold meetings, and protest, and organize for mutual protection.

Their objections aro based on tbe fact that houses built in the, manner prescribed by the Legislature are costly, while tho towering Bhella which now adorn the city may be run np at comparatively little expense. True, the men, women and children who crowd the houses will be safer In life and limb if the terms of the new law are complied with, but what of that In case of fire, insurance will cover the landlord's loss, and if a few people perish it is no possible concern of his. Therefore, tho owners meet, and resolve to employ counsel, and "test the matter In the conrtB." They Bay that while last year 814 large tenement houses were built, not one bas been began this year. The object of the movement, of course, is to influence the next Legislature to ropeal the law. We hope tbe measure will fail.

Not only tenement homes, but places of amusement, and all buildings wherein crowds are collected, should be fire proof.

So the agony Is over for the present. Some months ago Barney Friary was hung for the murder of Harry Lazarus. The salutary punishment and the ImpreBBive lesson of the early cutting off of a reckless life do not seem to have have had much reformatory influence on Barney's former partner, Eocky Moore. Rocky bas not committed murder, but he bas engaged in a brutal business, the object of wbich is to come as near manslaughter as possible.

Nearly a thousand children were in attendance, and without desiring to detract from the merits of the entertainment, we must confess that to witness the perfect order and general appearance of the pupils assembled at tbe Atheneum on this occasion was worth as much as the admittance fee to the exhibition. After they were aU seated, the pianist commenced a popular prelude, when tbe "little ones," much to the surprise of those of older growth, united with their voices, and combining' perfect time and harmony, gave snch an exhibition of their vocal powers as made the walls of the old Atheneum reverberate with thclrmelody.

The Keystone Club of Philadelphia reached here yesterday morning, and played their first game with the Excelsior Club or this city on tbe Capttolinc Ground. The until tlie eighth Innings, was closely contested, but in this Innings by some superb mnfflnlsm on tbe juri: of the Excelsiors, the Keystones ran far ahead, eud eventually won the game. The Keystones played finely all through the game, and certainly deserved the vic tory iney tneo so naro to win. un ine otner nana tne ExcclBlors did more mnfilng than tbey have yet done this season, and were by no means up to tbelr usual standard neither were their batting as fine bh they usually 00. nor anything like that shown In the Eureka or Eckfurd games, while that of tho Keystones was fine indeed.

Flanley, Jewell and Channcey bore off the polm of fleldlnc on the Excelsior side, and Dick Woods and McMulien on the Keystone Bide. Tbe Koystoncs took the lead at the commencement and kept it nntll the fifth innings, when the Excelsiors having scored six runs, toOK tne ieau ny lurec runs me bixiu tuning resulted in a wbitowash for the Excelsiors, and three runs for the Keystones, thus making a tic; from this point tbey went rapidly ahead, and the "Otne stood at the close of tbe ninth 15 to 20 in favor ot the Keystone club. At the conclusion of the game and when the players had changed their "rigs," Col. Woodward elevated himsell on a bench and stated that as he had at one period of his life been counectcd with a target company (rather rough on the Thirteenth) ho propojed to give them a lesson on military tactica. He "assembled the Keystones in single file and tha Excelsiors lu another, and then ordered them to come together, so as to make a double file, and they were then marcbea Into the dining room of the building, where an cl gaut entertainment was prepared.

After doing ample Justice to the feast, a short season was spent in listening to the speeches of Messrs. Woodward, Duffy, Jones aud Gill, and in eongs by Mr. Slater. The gueBts of the club went then escorted to tlie railroad, and in cars chartered lor the purpoie were conveyed to tho ferry. The Keystones left Brooklyn with an Increased Idea ol tbe hospitality of the Excelsiors.

present Executive entered into possession of the Presidential mansion the house had been denuded of its furniture, even to the window curtains. It was publicly stated that the missing articles had been removed to Springfield. The Tefusal of a Congress, entirely under tho control of the late President's adherents, to support a claim which, under all the circumstances, was not unreasonable, was an endorsement of this charge, and it was indeed of fered as an excuse for the action of a Congress never accused of stretching economy to the verge of meanness. We trust that Mrs. Lincoln will not be under the necessity of carrying out her threat to sell by auction her personal effects.

If the leading Radicals do not come to the rescue we shall urge the ancient Society of Tam many to take advantage of this occasion to perform a graceful act, by purchasing the very handsome things on exhibition in Broadway, and presenting them to the lady interested in their disposal. Re nnmberlng the Streets. The appropriation for re numbering the streets cut down to seven thousand five hundred dollars, passed the Joint Board, and will be available after the first of January, when we hope the work will be commenced. The Committee who objected to the Mayor's recommendation on the ground that ten tnou sand dollars would not be enough, very singularly proposed to allow only seven thousand five hundred dollars for the numbering of the houses, and putting the names of the streets on the corner lamps. For the latter work twenty five hundred dollars has been appropriated At present it is a very difficult matter for a stranger to find his way about the city without inquiring every few blocks, the names of the streets are posted up at such rare intervals.

The appropriation for re numbering the houses may not he sufficient to do the necessary work throughout the city, but it will accomplish a great deal if judiciously expended, and obviate much confusion, inconvenience and loss of time.
