Grand Jury's attention. Heinvolrtfl Beecher in the business Beeohor eaygf he was influenced chiefly by Greeley. As Frothinghamvis a member of the 2W6une staff ho was probably detailed for the nuptial work. As for poor Field, the third clergyman, he tearfully and with much pious platitude assures the publio he would never have attended the wedding but for his brother Beecher. So that tJreoley is really responsible for the disgraceful affair, and if anybody is indicted he should be.

All this frightens Greeley and he falls to cursing and swearing with characteristic volubility, but as it would hardly do to print the profanity ho compromises on "ho" and "liar." pomons against whom theso harmless epithets are hurled to hurl thom back On thoir osauil.nts.tliuofToot would be tho same. Ho ono on oither side would bo hurt. Assumptions may bo true or falsi). They hurt nobody till their truth is established. Tho writer in the Times (I know Mr.

Bennett too toug and too well to recognize in tho his hand or bis sanction) will learn, if ho givo the matter duo consideration, that it is ono thing to say to fl penitent woman "Arise, dopart, ein no moro." and qnito a different thlricr for ministers of God to offer' what it was not their privilege to givo, God's countenance and sanction to an adulterous alliance Christ properly rebuked those who clamored against tho penitent. He did not marry her to hor partner in guilt. As to stono throwing, tho writor in the Times will never, I fear, be in such a condition that ho will bo oblo to throw tho smallost pebble at any one who sins against grammar, logical propriety and good sonso.

The porf oo tion of he machine is absolutely wonderful, aud girls can operate on them already with great skill.

By this machine it is claimed that a girl after a few weeks practice can mako four times as many cigars in a dav as tbo most expert cigar maker enn by band, while on the cutting machine, which is also patented by the Company, 100,000 wrappers can be out in one day. With these machines in general use, a new avonuo of labor, for which they are eminently suited, will bo oponod to girls, while smokers will have their oigars considerably oheaper. AU tho machines exhibited wore manufactured by Hugeot Fanning, of Front this city, and are good specimens of Brooklyn workmanship. NEW PUBLICATIONS. whether with the county increasing in population, the fees of all such officers ought not to be cut down.

The fact that tho Coroners presumed to ask such an inorease only shows how wrong" it is to have the same man holding two offices, in, one of which ho aots upon the bills he sends in in the other oapaoity. The Board did another good thing in directing more detailed report to be made of the building work now going on at Flatbush. There ib one point that ought not to be lost sight of, among all that has been said of the lavish outlay of this Board they have borrowed very little. They have helped raise the taxes this year by their policy, but they have added very largely to tho real estate of the county. The extensions Of the county buildings have been enormous, and, being paid for as the work progressed, were necessarily very costly.

But nobody has any assessment to pay next year on account of Supervisors' work this year, nor is the treasury burdened with interest on bonds, for years ahead. The Supervisors crowded things into last year very steeply but if they stand by the policy they evinced yesterday next year they will be able to get along with very muoh less expense than this year, and for a generation to come the county will have the benefit of the work they executed, and for which the tax payers of this year are now paying in lump. The Savings KanSt.s By an advertisement in another column it will be seen that one of the Savings Banks of the city has declared a semi annual dividend of four per cent to depositors, a higher rate of interest than has ever before been paid. This bank has prospered and makes tho depositors sharers in its gains. Depositors in Savings Banks have as much right to share in the profits of the Banks as the stockholders of any company or enterprise have to whatever earnings may accrue from their investments, and there is no reason why the former should be restricted to dividends of five and six per cent when they are able to pay seven or eight.

The Eastern District. Times replies to our comment on the action of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, undertaking to defend the Bank. The Times has a pettifogging way of arguing any question of this kind. It always assumos to be the special guardian of the reputation of that section of the city, and holds that no other newspaper has a right to notice anything that transpires there. The Eagle recognizes no such sectional distinctions, it represents the City of Brooklyn in its entirety, and treats all sections with equal fairness and candor.

So far from misrepresenting the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, the Times admits that we under estima ted'the cost of the building the Bank is putting up on Broadway, instead of a quarter of a million it will cost between four and five hundred thousand dollars. Our objection was that no part of this building can be lot out and made a source of revenue, the Bank is to occupy the whole of it, making its rental upwards of thirty thousand dollars a year. The Times says this money was made by the good management of the Trustees, and they have a right to use it as they may see fit. Tho Times is wrong; this money does not belong to the Trustees in any sense, they hold it in trust only and are accountable for its use. Fine looking buildings attract custom no doubt, though the Williamsburgh Savings Bank built up the enormous business it boasts, and earned its immense surplus fund in a building of no architectural pretensions, situated on a cross street and at some distance from the main business thoroughfares.

People who patronize Savings Banks are generally of a practical and prudential turn of mind, and they, may prefer larger dividends to gorgeous architecture. The Savings Banks are not only doing injustice to their depositors, but running a risk in accumulating such large surplus funds the Legislature has tried to make the Savings Banks pay over to the State the amount of unclaimed deposits, and these large surplus funds may again tempt the cupidity of the Albany So lons. A remedy that will soon work a healthful change in the management of Saviags Banks has appeared the old uniform rule of Umiting dividends to six per cent, in all cases has been broken. Higher dividends have been and will hereafter be paid by shrewd Trustees of Banks that can afford it, and the competition for custom will take the form, not of architectural display but higher rates of interest. This will avert the accumulation of enormous surplus funds, and save Trustees from the necessity of smiting half a million dollars in fanciful displays of architecture.

Pakturient Montes RroiotiLUUs Mtjs. The peaceful citizens of Brooklyn, have hardly recovered from the startling effect of the great military invasion of this city a week ago, when all the military garrisons in the harbor were mustered in their might and marched upon us early one morning and captured the district adjacent to tho Navy Yard. There wera seven hundred Soldiers, and fifty revenue officers with four generals in command. We read a glowing account from the pen of one of these officers of their brilliant operations, of the illicit stills soiz od, of the flood of whisky captured, and a contraband trade of enormous extent broken up. Now we have the facts from no less reliable a person than the United States Marshal of the district.

All tho spoils of the campaign have been turned over to him to dispose of for the benefit of the Government, and after taking an inventory of stills, mash tubs, whisky and so on, he finds that the "demnition total" as Mr. Mantellini would call it, amounts to thirteen hundred and fifty dollars. What the expenses of the grand military movement were has not yet been reported. The Mormon Missionaries. Brigham Young has sent forth a hundred of his chosen Elders to preach the gospel of Salt Lake among us outside heathen.

They come here at a good time, when the public mind is somewhat agitated over the marriage relation, and old fashioned notions of its sanctity have been unsettled by the actions and preaching of oertain eminent clergymen. Under existing circumstances Mr. Beecher could hardly refuse Brig ham Young, who is now in this oity a hearing in Plymovth Church, If it be proper for a woman to have two husbands it cannot be wrong for a man to have two wives. And if two, why not a dozen? Brigham Young has said he would like to have Mr. Beecher preach in his churoh.

Mr. Beecher would only be re turning a compliment in inviting Brigham or Elder Taylor to occupy his pulpit some Sunday morning. The Plymouth congregation have not had a sensation for some time, and hore is a fine chance for one. or DIY MOODS AT HBTAII ARNOLD1, OOSTABtK A 00., DAVE DKTJmMlNED TO fl TIt I KM WHOLESALE!

$10 and upwards, BURKEi Broadway, N. V. de4 Ut T6rancUt 188 Fulton at, N. V. Our rural neighbors in Queens Connty are deeply interested, just now in the question of toll gates.

There is a strong and aotivo popular party crying out for free roads and free bridges. TJhey say they can scarcely get their teams fairly trotting after a stop at one toll gate before they have to fetch up at another gate and pay again. They compare their travelling to ours in the city horse cars, where no sooner has the vehicle got well in motion after stopping to take in a passenger or let out one, than some one elao wants to get out or in, and the bell rings and tho horses have to be stopped again. The nuisance of toll gates on country roads is greater in Winter than at any other time of the year. The toll house is always built so as to narrow the road and compel the whole concourse of vehicles to file slowly one at a time through a narrow aroh way.

The snow in Winter often drifts and banks up and makes the narrowed road still more difficult of passage. The drivers are buttoned up to the throat and their fingers are cramped with the cold, and it is worth double the amount of the toll to extricate the change from one's pocket. With all these complaints against country toll gates, it would seem the people should be unanimous, in demanding to be relieved from them. But the contrary is the case. The Jamaica comes out strongly against the free road movement, and in the name of the "masses," and "taxpayers," and of the people of Queens County in general, stamps the free road movement as a selfish crusade of the small number who use the roads frequently, to transfer the burden of the tolls to the great number who use them very seldom.

Newtown has of late years been saddled with a number of Special Commissions" for making new roads and bridges. These are just being completed, and they are free of toll. And it is probably the contemplation of them that has stirred up the people of the other towns in Queens County to demand free roads. But the Democrat thinks the Newtown free roads dear at the prices the Special Commission jobbers have made the people pay for them in the shape of increased taxes; and it warns its neighbors that free roads cannot be had without high taxes following. The bulk of the roads in Queens County have been made by private companies, who have been authorized by law to levy tolls to compensate them for the expense of making the roads and of keeping them in repair.

The nnti fveo road argumeut is, that if these companies foil to keep the roads in repair they forfeit their charter, and their tolls ought to be extinguished without compensation; but that if they do keep the road in repair the tolls are the finest and best way of levying the money, each man paying for road repair in the same proportion that ho uses the road. The free road people have our sympathy entirely on their side in this niStter, and for these reasons The roads benefit the whole community, not simply the men who happen to use them more or less frequently. The uses of the roads are, mainly, to convey portable articles between Queens County and the city. Now the whole population of Queens are in this road tiaffic equally interested. If the country storekeeper brings out goods from the city, or the country farmer brings his produce to Brooklyn, it is not merely the storekeeper on the other who is benefitted by the road.

Every family that buys of the storekeeper, and all his neighbors to whom the farmer pays any portion of the money he receives for his produce, do, as really though not so directly, use, and benefit by, the road, as the individual who owns or drives the horse and vehicle. If there is any one thing which is wholly a public and general benefit, and which the entire public should pay for, and not a class or individuals merely, it is a road. Besides, the manner of collecting the cost of road repair by tolls on the passengers is the most costly and aggravating that can be invented. The amount might be put in the tax bills every year and not cause a single dollar's extra expense for collection. Whereas, by collecting tolls on the road, the expense of collection is often one half or more of the total proceeds.

A toil house has to be kept np and a toll keeper and family supported, and it takes a great deal of travel to do that, before there is a single dollar available for the repair of the road or the payment of interest on its cost. The collection of road repair funds by a toll on the travellers is as absurd, inconvenient end costly a way of getting the money as it would be for the Federal Government to collect its tobacco tax by the Collector stopping every man on the street whom he found smoking, and getting three or four cents tax on the ignited segar or as it would be for the revenue assessors to watch the bar rooni3 and charge whisky tax on each man according to the number of drinks he was seen to imbibe. It is folly to waste money, time and trouble in collecting taxes of the men who ultimately use the article taxed. All taxes, to Be productive in total, cheap in percentage of collection, and just in apportionment, must be levied in gross in the wholesale, and not by retail. If a road benefits a town, let tho town taxes pay for it, and make it free to the town.

Let our Queens County neighbors devise some plan of assessing the value of the road corporate rights they seek to extinguish, and if they do not pay more than tho roads oost, or are worth, they will find in two or three years that the making them free to travel has built, up their land and added to their taxable value ten times more than enough to compensate for the extra tax it needs to buy and repair the roads. Cain a Politician bo JPian Estied in the Federal Courts? It is now stated that Blatchford, the absconding and arrested Deputy Collector of tho Port of New York, is not to be punished, or even tried, for complicity in the drawback frauds, District Attorney Pierrepont having received orders from Washington to let him go on condition of his giving evidence against the other parties to the fraud. In confirmation of this it is alleged that Blatchford has not yet seen the inside of a prison, but is "under surveillance in the house of a friend np town." This Mr. Blatchford is a near relative of Republicans high in station under the federal government and must himself have been possessed of no small influence in the Republican party, or he could not have reached the post of Deputy Collector of the Port of NoV York next in rank to Collector Grinnell himself. Without some official of very high grade had co operated with them, the Drawback fraud men could not have swindled tho Government in the way they did, to the extent of a million dollars or more.

Now which is worst? whom of all these frauds should the Government make an example of The othors were merely outside swindlers, on the lookout to defraud the Government. They owed to the Government no special obligation, nothing but the ordinary citizen's duty of common honesty. But Blatchford was fixe trvfsted and highly honored and promoted servant of the Government, sworn tp be faithful to its interests. His joining in with these others was tenfold more guilty than their participation; yet he is to be let off, and they alone to be prosecuted. The Federal Government, as now run, seems to be operated so as to make it easy for any man, no matter of what personal character, to get a high office through "loyal" professions; and then, if he joia with outsiders in stealing any sum from a dollar to a million, the same political influence that appointed him will ensure Ms protection while his less guilty confederates are held at least till the easy going public that have been defrauded have forgotten the circumstance, or have had their attention called away from it by newer and greater frauds.

flic Supervisors. The Supervisors seem to have turned over a new leaf. The revelations of the canvass did them good. They saw that by being too complaisant to one horse ward politicians they had allowed those worthies to ''perpetrate frauds which disgusted and shocked the Board almost to a man. In future it will not be so easy to get men appointed and resolutions passed through the Board of Supervisors, simply by saying "this is a party measure." No fraud, no extravagance or waste of public money, can possibly be Democratic; for Democracy means honest popular government.

One of the Coroners is a Supervisor. Relying on this, probably, the Coroners asked for fifty per cent, increase in tfieir fees. The Board yesterday bluntly refused the request. This county has no more Coroners now than it had twenty years ago, when its population was a fraction of the present. Consequently, they, like all Kings County officers paid by fees, make niore money now than ever.

As well might the Register ask for more fees as the Coroners. The only question is, Shard Bay of tbe Fair Blow it Pro gresscs TKo Names of the Ladies InterestedAn Incident off the First i Great was the assemblage that gathered at the Bazaar, yesterday afternoon and evening. From the hour of opening to the hour of olosing, the immense throng cane and went, keeping the good looking Austin busy in dealing out the pasteboards. The continued success of thoBazaar, has had the off cot to inorease tho interest of the ladles in the undertaking, and not only do they manifest their interest in their bright and hsp pjtaceB, but in the eagerness with whioh they resposd to tho call of the purchaser. The various alcoves, os scmod a different appearance last night, so many new articles had been placed in the place of those which had wen sold on previous nights.

The business of the Bizaar ia really immense. On Tuesday the first day of the Bazaar, the receipts were on vTodnosday tbo receipts reached making an aggregate of $1,935.84 in two days. At this rate the proceeds will amount to, if the Bazaar is continued for a week or ton days, over $10,000. Last night the assemblage was dooidedly brilliant. Young men having been'informod by tho Eagle that all tl ladies, whether as managers or as visitors woro handsome, gathered in large numbers and fell easy victims to the wiles and guUes of the ladies.

It was a mat. tor of interest to watch tho fascination of tho innocents. Did you ever see a bird oharmed by a Berpont? No? Well tho sorpont doesn't run after the bird.but catching tha little thing's eye, it draws it within easy reach by tha power of ita fascination, whon it falls a victim. So with thoso young ladios. Their bright eyes fixed upon those of tho innocent young man so charmed him that unwilling aBhe might be, ho involuntarily roached tte alcove and fell an easy victim to "the syren who had not even asked'him to como and buy.

Thon what remarkable things they purchased, too. One young man, who is Bworn to seen in a help" leis state of imbeoility bargaining for that $75 infant suit in the Nursery Alcove. By the way, what a blessing N. S. Tha preceding word is "sarkastical," the Eigee reporter got last night because instead of "Nursery Alcove" it was printed "Musoum Itis at the Nursery Alcove, the printers will please tako notice, whore the $75 infant suit is displayed, and where tlie doll with three suits of clothes and a Saratoga trunkj puts up.

Well, it was at this Alcove where the aforesaid gent, who many a time and oft" has announced hia intentions of remaining single, was seou endeavoring to buy this infant suit. Said a young gentleman, who has been lately married? "Eagle my old bird. This is tho fir3t time I'vo boon to this thing. I brought my wife with me, that I might be kept out of temptation, but it's boon no use. I've been hero fif tben minutc3, I've dropped Ave dollars and this is all I'vo got to show for it." And ho hold up a package so neatly dono up in white paper, that tho first glance showed that dainty fingers had handled it.

Ho wes forgivon on tbo spot. ABkiug what ho purchased, be answered with an air of perplexity, "I'm blessed if I know," and tho last that was soen of him was iu a corner, trying to find out what he had purchased. There was one young man who attendod the Bazaar onthe first night, howover, who retained his souso3 to tht last, in open opposition to tho majority that gathered there. On Tuesday night he removed his ovorcoati and prevailed upon a pretty black oyed damsel, to place it lehind the table for him, and thou ho saunterod off to enjoy the scene and revel in the smiles of the fair beings that Burrounded him. Later in tho evening( when Uoj)roposod to quit tho spot and demandod the ovsicoat.

He was to Id tho charge was twenty cents. Ho demurred and said the usual chargo was but fifteen. Tlie littlo beauty said that tho fivo cents extra was for the squeeze which she had given him, when she helped him on with his coat. "For another squeeze like it" said he "I'll give twenty cents more" No sooner said thin done and the little lady gayo him tho jolliest kind of a hug. Tho young man, was boside himself and ho said "For a kiss I'll give you a dollar." The lady was giimo and thoso in the immediate vicinity were startled by an oxplosion and looking around saw a very demure looking little lady blushing to her temples and a young and blushing man, whose countenance boro tho mixod expression of baBhfulneBB and exquisite pleasure, N.

No other gentleman need apply, the lady has retired from the business. Below wo publish the names of tho ladies, who are interested in each alcove, italicising tho name of tho chairman of each alcove committee Emdroidehy Mrs. Marchant, Mrs. Conkliu, Mrs. Moran, Mrs.

THE MEMORIAL CHURCH FAIR. rEIse Second Bay A NoveJ Presentation Yesterday was the seoond day of the Annual Fair of the Memorial Presbyterian Church, of Warren streetj between Fifth and Sixth avenues, at the Atho neum, and the success of tho project was even more apparent than upon the opening night, a full report of which appeared in tho last issuo of tho Eagle, The various departments wero still agreeably managod, aud tho ovident diminution of stock indicated encouraging sales. Tho novel Shaker Department" had been especially well patronized, a fact whioh redounds to the credit of its originator, the Bov. Theodore S.

Brown, Pastor. Tho Now England kitchen and the well managed Refreshment Department wero also enjoying a liberal patronage. The alitoscopic views, kindly loaned for the occasion by Mr. W. Poweiij a member of tho congregation, proved a source of active employment for tho bright littlo sons.of that gentlemen and a source of income to tho Fair.

Tho Memorial Church Chronicle Eeemed to have a good circulation, and doubtless has proved a profitublo adjunct. During the evening many of tho Presbyterian clergy visited tho handsomely decorated hall, and wero cordially entertained by tho Refreshment and other cornmittoeB. A pleasant episodo of tho evening cons'sted in the presentation by Mr. Kissnm on behalf of tho congregation, of an claboratoly wrought infants' robe to Mr. Durfey and lady, on opportunity which had been patiently awaited during a full decade.

The Fair will continue this afternoon and oveuing and will closo before midnight, an announcement which will bo generally reooived with regret and which will undoubtedly load many to participato'in tho closing scenes. fbc JScal Estate Copartnership Allegred ifalae Pretence Case.

Senator Trnmbull, of Illinois, by bis independence shown in voting against the impeachment of President Johnson, gave hope to the country that he was not one of the extreme consolidationists among the Republican leaders, who seek to absorb all powers in Congress, to the overthrow of State rights and the humiliation and degradation of the judicial and Executive branches of the federal government. But a bill which Mr. Trumbull yesterday introduced into the Senate is so worded as to indicate that ho is prepared to go the full length of the most radical of his colleagues in annihilating the checks and guards of the Constitution, and leaving the property and rights of the people of every State at the mercy of the temporaiy partisan majoiity of the federal legislature. His bill proposes to enact Tlint under tho Constitution the judicial nower of the United Stat 63 does not embrace political power or give to'tho judicial tribunals any authority to question the decision of tho political departments of the Government on political questions nud it is hereby declarod that all Courts of the United States in the admiuislra lion of juBtice shall be hotrod by tho decision of the political departments of the Government ou political Any lad who has been a year in the commonest eommon school should be ashamed to propound such a statement as this, which involves an entire misapprehension of the meaning of one of the most frequently used and familiar words in the language. Mr.

Trumbull proposes by authority of kw to define the word political in the vulgar partisan use of it instead of in the sense in which its derivation and its use by oreiy one above the standard of intelligence of a ward politician uses it. The word political relates to the whole body politic to society as organized for governmental purposes. To speak of the political departments of the Government as excluding the judicial is as absurd as it would be to speak of the bodily components of the body as not including the brain or the nerves. Law is a part of politics. Politics is the science and practice of public affairs.

Under the Constitution the Judiciary is as essential a part of the political framework as the Executive of the Legislature. If the Judiciary is not a political department in the only true sense of the word, it is no department at all and has no place in our system. Neither in dictionaries nor in the words or works of statesmen living or dead, can Mr. Trumbull find the distinction ho imagines between the judicial and the political departments. There are three co ordinate departments of the United States Government they tiro all political, all constitutional, and the exclusion of any one from its proper relation to the others ai from its due share in the exercise of governmental authority, is simply revolution, utterly destructive of our American republican form of government.

The Constitution provides that the Legislature shall make laws, the Executive approve or veto them and the Judiciary, if they are disputed, shall decide upon their Constitutionality. The Legislature has no more right to forbid the Judiciary from passing on the constitutionality of its acts, than it has to forbid the Executive to exercise the veto power, or than the Judiciary would have to enjoin the Legislature from passing laws. Mr. Trumbull's bill is usurpation, it proposes absorption of the Judicial function in the Legislature, even as that self aggrandising department has already appropriated to itself a large share of the Executive function. This Bepublican Congress is rapidly and determinedly transforming itself into a revolutionary junta it is none the less illegal and monstrous in its assumptions because its usurpations are carried on without physical violence.

Its mandate to the Judiciary not to examine whether its resolutions are constitutional and have the true force of law, or not, is just as revolutionary as if the Executive were to send a squad of soldiers into the Supreme Court to prevent by force the rendering of any decision which he wished the Court not to utter. CongTess Affter Sew Sfork. Having the South prone at their feet the Republican party leaders are meditating next a Congressional raid upon New York. Mr. Drake, of Missouri, too impatient to wait until the Fifteenth Amendment has some color of ratification, and till under it Congress may lawfully proceed to control the elections in every State, has introduced a bill in the United States Senate, which proposes to order every State to hold its election for the Presidential Electoral College, and for Congressmen, on the first Tuesday of October, instead of, as in this State now, in November.

If this pass, the first step' will have been taken toward thrusting the fraudulent fingers of the Congressional King into the ballot box of every State. The Republican party in each State, careless of State rights, and hasty tt co operate with their leaders at Washington in transferring all State functions to the federal government, will alter their State elections to correspond with tbe new and uniform regulation of federal elections in the State, and thus the Drake scheme will operate to control in all now Republican States, not merely the Presidential and the Congressmen vote, but the votes of the people for all State and local officers. But the mere absorption of all political power in the federal government does not suffice. The Republican leaders include men who are more greedy even of money than of power; to whom political power is valueless except as it can be cashed into gold or greenbacks. Hence, while Drake is putting forward his Senate bill to abolish the present election day in New York, Butler has his evil eye fixed upon the hoards of glittering coin, jewelry, spoons, and so forth, in the wealthy metropolis.

In a speech on the census, in reply to Mr. Fernando "Wood's exposure of the Depow census fraud of 18G5, in this State, the plunderer of New Orleans denounced New York city as one living mass of corruption and fraud," and ho "Wanted to know tho statistics of railroad transportation, of the express business, and of tho telegraph business, Because he looked forward to the time within the nest ten years, when tho country would havo to grapple with those great interests and take control of theui." Butler ought to have made money enough by playing Verres in the chief city of the South. But a taste of such power, and the escaping unhung from one such pro consulship, only wbets the appetite of such a man for the richer spoils of the greater city of the North. Butler itches for a larger spoonful of spoils from the vaster wealth of the capitalists of Now York. It is well that he should have given a hint of his ultimate purposes, simultaneously with Mr.

Drake's and Mr. Trumbull's proposals in the Senate. Mr. Drako wants the Federal Government to regulate New York elections Mr. Trumbull proposes to take from our citizens the appeal to the Judiciary against Lsgis lative oppression and extortion an3 thon in comes Mr.

Butler, with his hopes of fingering the wealth of railroad, and express and telegraph companies. By this conjoint assault upon the political rights and throats against the personal property of our citizens, the capitalists and millionaires may see that it is they also who are monaced by this revolutionary legislative party as well a3 the people at large. The masses have no surplus wealth in these times only political rights ore at stake in their case. Tho capitalists have also their motions at stake. "When Drake has taken away Now York's control of tho ballot box, and Butler comes to "grapple with the great money interests" of New will bo tho wealthy that will suffor specially, and it is they who will have most cause to deplore the apathy they now exhibit they see these Republican leaders openly proclaiming their intention, and legislating to that end, to lie the hands of the Supreme Court, that neither property nor personal rights may have any protection against legipla tive aggression to vest in Washington the control of our ballot box and to transfer to tho federal government, by such men as Butler, the management of the great moneyed institutions that' have been built up by the.

capital and individual enterprise' of the citizens of New'YorL What Next The diseussion of Woman's Rights we had come to regard as one of the" inevitable afflictions of the period, and we have borne it as patiently as we might. Now another rights" question is sprung upon us. Mrs. Burleigh, who is one of the oratorical luminaries of tho Women's Movement, proposes to lecture us on Monday next on Children's Rights." Gracious, what next? The New York papers surrender considerable space in report and comment, to the address of Father Hyacinthe last night. The topic was not one to promote controversy, everybody accepting its controlling idea, charity, whatever tho practical realization of it.

The World, which has a long leader on the subject, pleasantly patronizes the Pere, and seems to think he is entitled to public confidence and respect chiefly because he has been "interviewed" by one of its reporters. Tho person who can pass through that experience without any damaging consoquoncos must indeed be no ordinary man. Koehefort pursues his personal warfare against tho Emperor in the Corps Legislatif. A speech abounding in offensive allusions created great excitement yostorday. Rochefort said that when Napoleon addressed the Chambers at then: opening he "gave tho signal for the members to laugh at him." His Majesty is thus exhibited as an imperial Tom Acton.

The late Police President, it will be remembered, brought the members of the force to so advanced a state of efficiency in the joke drill that they never failed to lapse into mild convulsions of merriment at the proper point. It would seem however that the French Radical leaders might be better employed than in listening to Kochefort's absurd abuse of the Emperor. If the Opposition has no other political capital than personal and extravagant satiro of this sort it mustboindood sadly impoverished. The cause of universal freedom is in a bad way if it must be entrusted to the Rocheforts. Sumner was up in tho Senate again yesterday with his African, grievance.

Tho Medical Society of the District of Columbia has refused to admit colored physicians to membership, and Sumner asks Congress to repeal its 'charter, and proposes to organize another similar society on the basis of equal rights. If Sumner's ideas and thoir legitimate conclusions bo adopted Congress will have to pass some negro bills besides that relating to the Medical Society. The churches must be compelled to recoivo colored momborB, all associations must be deprived of tho right to regulate their business and prescribe the qualifications of mem boislup, and finally the police must be instructed to break up all balls, receptions, and dinner parlies which do not include black men among the guests. The Now York Times prints a summary of decisions showing that tho Courts of this State rofuBa to recognize a divorce grantee1 in any other State unless the defendant appeared iu the proceedings or was a resident of the State whorein they were had. As long ago as 1806 it was held that a wife who wont to Yermont and procured a divorce had simply sought "to evade tho force of our laws." In 1814 $5,000 damages were awarded against one Fitch who had obtained a divorco in Yormont and married a Miss Borden, the Court deciding that tho divorce was "absolutely void." Several other cases are reported, and as late as 1864 a de dieo in favor of a widow's claim to dower was granted, although she had been divorced from her husband one Todd, a landholder in this city by tho New Jersey Legislature, the Court holding that tho Act was a nullity and could not affect his interest or hers.

The case of O'Donovan Rossa, the Fenian convict elected to Parliament, is exciting considerable attention in England. The British press regards it as an unpleasant iudication of tho temper of Ireland, and probably the rumors of an early ris ng grew out of the panic created by the election as much as out of any acts of violence. It is said a bit of sharp practice is contemplated by the friends of Rossa. Not liaving been pardoned he is ineligible to a seat and it is proposed to claim the votes cast for him for his nephew who has the same name. But as Parliament is the judge of the election of its own members, it will probably take care to judge that neither nephew nor uncle can take a place in the House of Commons.

SPECTRAL ANALYSIS. Professor Barker's Lecture Before the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian As. eooiation. Professor Barker, of Yalo College, gave another lecture last evening at tbe rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association, ou tho now and wondorful Bcience of Spectral Analysis, his explanations and illustrations being directed to some of tho astronomical applications of the spectroscope. Tho lecture room was crowded with a doHghted audience, and large numbers wero turiiod away at the doors unable to obtain admission.

Rev. Dr. Buddington presided. Rev. Mr.

Martin, Chaplain of the Association, said ho 'wished Et tho outset to announce that theso scientific lot hires would bo given freo to members ovory Thursday evening, until the warm By oi'chungo of typo iu one of tho local papers, it was mado to appear that the next lecture would bo snvon on Monday evening. This was incorrect. There was to bo a break in the chain of scientific lectures, when Mr. Gough would on Thursday lecture at tho Academy of Music, tho proceeds of which would bo dovoled to teaching French find Gorman to members gratis. On the 23d icstaut Professor Eaton, oi Packer Iustituto, would lecture at the rooms, corner of Fulton avenue aud Gallatin Place, on tho "Earth and Sky." Another thing Mr.

Martin to mention beforo he sat down: Tho lecture about to bo.givon was in many respects an expensive one. A large quantity of acid was required to make tho experiments, and his Honor, the Mayor, had generously given J2u worth for that purpose, (Applause.) Professor Barker then came forwar.l and was received with applauBP. He said that at the previous lecture, if he had made himself understood, he demonstrated that while light, from whatsoever source it comes, carries with it all tho colors that wo seo iu nature. If whito light is passed through a triangular piece of glaeB called a prism, it will be eeen that these colors aro separated from each other; if it comes through a round hole in tho window shuttor, instead of having a round spot nftor it passes through tho prism, wo have au elongated image with the colors red, orange, yolloiv, green, blue, indigo and violet in order upon it. Bat thero aro also red, yellow, green, and other colored lights and if thoao are examined through the prism, instead of having all tho colors, we only have a portion of them.

This was illustrated by some very beautiful experiments. A sodium, or yellow light, produced but one color after pat sing through theprism a potassium, or purple light, two lines of colors a red light, only one lino, although a vnry iaint light appeared by its side. There aro two kinds of spectra, the spectrum, whioh gives an uninterrupted line, and that which gives an interrupted light, or lines separated by dark spaces. Light which comes from any solid or liquid body raised to such a temperature as gives light, produces the first of theso spectra; while flame coming from gas or vapor gives a spectrum of the second kind, an Interrupted spootrum. All that needs bo done to mako iron, or any of the heavy metals, give its light, is to raise Its temperature.

To mako gas emit Hb light, Professor Barker passed an eloctrio wire through a tube filled with hydrogen. The result wis a l'aint purple light, the spectrum of which was an inter? ruptud one, consisting of threo lines. Tho spectrum produced by nitrogen was very complox, consisting of rjo leeB than thirty Bevon lines. By the color of tho light produced it is easy to determine the character of the gas through which the electrio disehargo passes. For instance; the purple of the Aurora shows that tho olec tric discharge takes place in nitrogen.

The nest experiments wero made with light produced from iron, copper, brass and other metals; and the lecturer showed that it is only necessary to get a little light to be able to give a chemical analysis of the sub stanee which gives the light. Theso simple bnt wonderful discoveries wero applied to the light from the sun and it was explained that the following elements aro to bo found In that luminary: Sodium, barium, strontium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, cadmium, aluminium, iron, manganese, chromium, nickol, cobalt, copper, titanium, and hydrogon. Some of tbe eleaients in Sirrus, Aldcbaran aud Betelgeux wore also given. Tho Bpcotrum produced by the light of the sun is crossed by over 3,000 dark lines, and it was ahown that these correspond with the marks upon the spectra produced by artificial lights. But why aro tho lines black instead of colored 1 All flames which aro colored are opaque to rays of their own color.

At the cIobo of the lecture, Professor Barker declared that with the aid of the speo troaoopo tho theory of La Place was established, and that irom the nebulous matter, which exists in space, plantts have been and are being brought into existence. He also showed that through it, it was possible to weigh tho atmosphere which surrounds the sun. Professor Eaton, who was present, said that such a series of brilliant and eucceBsful illustrations of the Bcienco of Bpeetral analysis had novor before been made in this country. A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the lecturer before the meeting adjourned. Opening and Closing of Navigation.

vnuiamB. snecnargcu donnwnn aouso ana ill treatment, and sundry other oifensos which good and loving husbands are not guilty of. John failed to answer tho charge, and Louisa proved he had been guilty of ovorytbing sho charged, and, maybe, moro too; and tho result was that on Monday of last week she obtained a docreo divorcing hor from tha bonds of matrimony with John, and also an allowance in tho way of allimony from his property provided ho had any. Now, any one would naturally supposo that ended tho matter, but then it didn't. Somo how or othor (thero is no accounting for tho vagarios of a woman's heart,) after the decroe was rendered, Louisa discovered she made a mistako in reference to her footings toward John, and that sho wasn't near as mud at him as sho thought she was.

John had committed many errors but, then what of that "To err is human, to forgive divine" and woman is suppoaod to approaoh as near divinity as anything on this terrestrial sphere. LouiBa forgave not only so, sho forgot. All John's littlo peccadilloes wort buried the memory of his virtues, howovor low tho latter might be. As wo havo said, Louisa obtained a divorco on Monday. On Tuesday she sought hor lato loving liegojord.

Explanations, instead of recriminations, followed, and tlio result was the separated couple were reconciled. They agreed to live together again and that night, on the ono o'clock train on tho Council Bluffs Eoad, Jolm and Louisa loft together for the Paciilo ooast. Biasiiond iSOpoijory. From tho St. Louis Itepublioau.

Quite an excitoment was occasioned at the Southern Hotel yesterday morning, by tho discovery that a very serious robbery of diamonds had been perpetrated in room No. 230. The apartment was occupied by a gentleman from Now York, named D. N. Hawloy, who arrived at the hotel on Wednesday.

Ho had in his trunk about $40,000 worth of jewelry, as agent of manufacturers of jewelry. The jowelry was of a mixod character, including wathe3, chains, Sec. also, a very valvable lot of diamonds, in the form of rings, pins, brooches, The particulars of tho robbery, aa authored from the report to tho Polico Department, are as follows Mr. Dawley left, his room botween eight aud nino o'clock, and as he was going out told ono of tbe cliam bormaids, who was about entering tho apartmont to clean it up, to lock the door when she had completed operations, and so ho doparted, trusting, apparently with implicit faith, to tho strength of tho trunk in which tho jewelry was locked up. Ho went down on Main Dtrcet on business and returned to the hotel between ten and eleven o'clock, and on going up to his room ho was greeted by a spectacle of a very disturbing character.

His strong box was broken open, and only a glance was necessary to make it evidont that robbors had been after his jowcla. At first the conclusion was that the whole $10,000 worth had been swopt away, but an examination showed that probably owing to kaBto or some sudden alarm, only a portion of tho jewelry had been taken, consisting of diamond ornamonts, in all forty seven riuga and three brooches, there being among the former four beautiful cluster rings. The value of tho property i3 estimated at $1,000, but it may possibly to more tban this. The dismay of Mr. Dawloy on discovering this startling robbery can "bettor be imagined than described." Tho information was hurriedly convoyed to tho office of the hotel, and ere long the Cliiot of Police was placed in pocseseion of the facts, and the detectives wero set at work to hunt the thief, but up to Into hour yestorday no arrest nor recovery had beeu made.

A reward oi 55 per cCut of the value of the diamond ia oil'orod, or of any proportion of thom, for recovery. The robbery in its character is not a sipgular one, aud it is not greatly to bo wondered at; ftra largo amount of in an unlocked room in a hotel requires no great address to captutocven if locked up in a trunk. In the room was found a short crow bar of "jimmy, which hart evidently been mod in the forcing open of the trunk. The robbery was so clearly perpetrated by some peisen who had a knowledge of the valuable contents ot tho trunk that suspicions are naturally turned in the direction of a certain individual who cei tamly had that iEformation. At Columbus, Mr.

Duwley was introduced to a geutlemauly looking man by a respectable mercl'cnt ol that place. Some conversation took plaso between Mr. D. and his new acquaintance, and latter said he also was oing West, and that tiiey would probably meet again. During the time thoy wero to gelher it iu not unlikely the stronger bocamo fully in lormed of Mr.

business and his valuable effects. Subsequently thoy met at Louisville, and yestorday morning Mr. D. waB a littlo surprised to again moot his Columbus acquaintance on the corner of Fourth and Olive streets. After cordial greetings, Mr.

in reply to a question, said that ho was stopping at the Southern' Hotel, and his friend said bo would come down and seo him iu the evoning. Mr. D. also recollects that during tho course of tho conversation ho even mentioned tho number of his room, They parted and havo not met since. In the cyea of tho detectives the stranger is looked upon with extreme suspicion.

He is, in fact, rogardid aa a "profe.iaijrul" rem New York, who peraiBtontly followed Mr. D. from place to place, waiting for an opportunity to got at his jewels. This, of course, may all bo falso, aud if this mif sing party is as rcspectablo as ho seemed ho will bo terribly scandalized at tha suspicions which havo become directed toward him. Wo hopo tho full truth will be developed in a few days, and It is quite probablo, for Captain Lee, Chief of Police, is always luoky with diamond robbers.

We are told that shortly after tho robbery, a man offered an eight cluster diamond ring in a j6welry store on Fourth Btreet for $100, but aid not succeed ill selling it, Mr. Dawloy himself is said iot to participate in tho s'usptcioiw attached to hU Qdjirjjb.ijk4 acquaintance. Across America and Asia" New York: Leypoldt Holt, and Brooklyn J. T. Bollos is Raphael Pumpolly's account of his voyage arouud the world and observations ia Arizona, Japan, China, Siberia and other places.

Tho volume isonoof varied interest. Tho contrasts offered the traveler by the Apa chos, the Mexicans, the Chinese, tho 'Mongols, and the Russians wero not greater than thoso oxporlenood by him on tho hot American dosert with the thermometer at 12G in the shade and on the table land of Contral Asia with the mercury 0 to 30 degroes below zoro. Tho scenery and natural features of tho remote 13ast and tho far West present corresponding variety. Tho author encountored much hardship and many perils with remarkable cheerfulness, and whothor contending with threatening insanity superinduced by sloeple3s days and nights in a crowded coach on tho plains, with murderous savagos in ambush, with treacherous companions, with suspicious Orientals, or with manifold minor annoyances, developed a most commendable measure of pluck. The book contains valuablo information of tho manners, customs, history, governmental systems, and politics of China aud Japan, and the relations of those empires to more enlightoucd nations.

While considering the Celestials he visited Mr. Pumpolly does not overlook thoso who will probably viBit us, and in a chapter devoted to the subject reaches tho conclusion that it is well upon tho wholo that tho coming Chinese shall come. Tho pages which aire of the most fruitful of ad vonture and which will probably claim tho largest share of attention are those relating to Arizona, and a moro striking picture of tho stato, of affairs existing a few years ago in a groat territory of tho United Statos has rarely been given in so briof a space. Brought into close contact with tho brutality aud cruelty of some of the Indian tribes tho author strongly condemns tho bloody and exterminating policy often recommended and sometimes enforced agaiMt tho Indians, and insistB on the duty and maintains tho practicability of mild and poaceful measures. Ho shows, what has boon frequently shown, that savage violence is provokedby civilized violoncc.

Uore is an oxamnle of white men's treachery to rod men who wero decoyed into a military camp by a flag of trace: After a long parley, during which tho chiefs protested theinoocenco of their tribe in the matter, tlicy wore seized. Ono of tho number in trying to esc.ipo was knocked down aud pinned to the ground with a bayonet. Four others were bound, but Caehces seizing a knife from tho ground, cut his way through the. canvas and escaped, but not without receiving as he afterwards told, throo bullets fired by tlio outside guard. It is not surprising that "a war of extermination was immediately declared against tho Tho author says: If it is said that tho Indians aro treacherous aud cruel, scalping and torturing their prisoners, it may bo answered that thero is no treachery und no cruelty loft unemployed by tho whites.

Besides the facts of general interest tuoro are many of special valuo gathered in the geological and miniag observations which wero tho business of the author in tho several countries described.

In an editorial, howover, in your paper of last evonlug. on tho appointment of tho new Circuit Judge, you say Ex Congressman llcibiiison worked strongly against Benedict." I presume your reforeuce must have been to Ex Congressman UobertsoD, of Westchester County, but as most of your, readers would apply the remark to myself, I must depart from my custom and correct the error into which you havo fallen. I not only did not work against 'Judge Benedict but proferred him to tho other distinguished Kopublican jurists who were his rivals ior this among many other reasonn that ho ia a cifizim of Brooklyn, and ewinoutly qualified for the position. Very rcspeotfuUy, W. E.

Hobduon. Locked ut by ttio 5f. WL. C. A.

To the Editor of tlie Brooklyn Kaqle Anxious to hear the lecture last ove beforo the Y. M. C. A. on tho "Spectrum," as no single tickets wore sold, I paid two dollars for a year's subscription to secure the opportunity and took my ticket.

With several others I found the door of. tho lecture room locked on the insido, and, finding myself "out in tho cold," started for homo, some two miles distant, disappointed. Tho room had been packed to its utmost capacity and then (ho door locked inside! Will you tell me, first, if an individual or company, other than a Christian Association, had dono aa above, what it would havo beon called? Second, I want to know whether (under existing laws andiu viow of disasters to publio gatherings from lack of ogress) the managers of un entertainment, like that last evening, have the right to pack a third story room almost without tlie chance of moving, with only ono door for exit, and thon lock tbo d.or in tho bargain. Had anything happened to disturb that audience, what disaster might have resulted. Now, Mr.

Editor, wo will give money to the Y. M. C. A. if they ask us, but is it right to sell us tickets and thon by locking us out say, "You can't come in." Why dot taKO a church and give us our equivalent.

In this work almobt any of our ohurch8 would gladly furnish an audience room sufficient aud safe with but a trilling expense. Iviuht. 'jCIse ffi. U. 'fimes and tSie KieJiardHtm lilcFayland Cast, To the Editor oj the Hrocklyn Eagle Your remarks on the editorial which appeared in the Brooklyn Times of Monday, ou the latest sensation, woro woll timed and well put.

Strong in argumentative advantage, you wero yet merciful. You did not assail the article aa you might have dono, on tho scoro of confused and illogically connected ideas. Perhaps you did not have lime to read the article critically enough to do so. Farhans a mercifal forbearanco withheld yon from seeking much where littlo waa to bo expected. The MeFarlaud Ricbardson case has cvokod considerable discussion, and.it was meet and proper lhat it should do so.

It vitally concerns tho well being of society here as well as in New York. Tho discussion ior the most part has not beon favorablo to Messrs. Beecher and Frotbingham. 'The most reputailo papers" in tho country yon truly say, havo pronounced adversely to those gentlemen, and havo given satisfactory reasons for doing so. They do not moroly condemn.

Thev rive uncontradicted facts and condemnation is the inevitable sequence. Their decisions aro but tho concurrent verdicts of so many jurios and the facts and tho verdicts predicated upon thim, aro open to the eyes of tho world. And yet, forsooth, no later than yesterday, the Brooklyn Times, (shame on such subserviency do nounccs all those who do not say Amen, to its dogutatio assertion that Beeohor Co. are immaculate and infallible. Those who presume to think otherwise are in tho eye of tho Kmes'.

throwers of slimo "cohorts from (he slums" persons "covered with moral doformltioa," To all which tho proper answer ia that, "to vouch this is no proof." If these persons bo what tho Times would make them out they certainly show an intelligent concern for tho cause of morality, which is not very consistent with the character Imputed to tnem. Wero tho The Woman's Rights people are sometimes singularly infelicitous in thou illustrations. In support of the demand for rights they cite examples of feminine success which prove, if they prove anything, that women have their rights. Why, they ask, cruelly oppress and limit this downtrodden sex when we can show you that Bistori and Cnshman havo gained fortune and amo on the stage, that Patti and Kellogg are brilliant lyric artists gathering laurels and making money wherever they go, that Mrs. Browning has a place in tho front rank of recent poets, and that Goorge Eliot is hardly second to any novelist of tho age? The obvious reply is that tho sex is not cruelly oppressed and limited, or tho women named would not have accomplished what thoy have.

On the contrary women often havo holps hot extended to men in like circumstances. Lucj Stone, one of the cleverest of tho aggressivo women, was thus unhappily illustrative in Newark yesterday. She snid she knows in Brooklyn a female physician whocloars $15,000 a year. Clearly that woman is not downtrodden or limited or oppressod. There are in this city many malo physicians who would like to have rights and patients to that amount.

Tho Plymouth people as well as the Plymouth pastor blunder sometimes. The Tribune publishes "a card from a parishioner" in defence of Mr. Beecher. The writer says very little of the Bichardson McFarland case, contenting himself with the general assertion that Mr. Beecher "never knowingly did or will do (prophetic parishionor!) any wrong whatever," and revives, of all things in the world, the history of the Cleveland letter.

Happily for this blunderer he coverB himself with the shield of the anonymous. Cassiun M. Clay, who has not been prominently before the publio recently, made a Bpeeoh in the New Jersey Woman Suffrage Convention lasts night. He said ho could not withhold his sympathy from the cause, although he thought he had made enough sacrifices "in family, reputation, and interest." The suggestion that a sacrifice of family and reputation is the necessary result of identification with the Woman's Rights people is the severest thing yet said about them. Since Recorder Hackett advised the Grand Jury to indict everybody concerned in the marriage of Richardson and Mrs.

MoFarland Greeley has be como greatly alarmed, and, according to his usual habit when excited, is calling poople Greeley knows that he will bo the first object of the WBsiacBCTa "reiSB5aa.
