Stephens, in which that gen tleman stated that he was so very unweil that he bad little hopes of getting to Wash ington next March. Mr. Stephens theu re quested General Gordon to repair to his residence iu Crawfordville, at once, as he «leair*-d to consul’, him npon some matters of importance. Iu response to this urgent call, General Gordon left on Wednesday morning for Crawfordville, where he is at present writing. We sincerely trust that.

On starting to the ball he walked into Kiose’s store, aud went back to the desk, wrote a note to his mother, telling her that this was his last night ou earth, as he was going to kill him self. Marietta Journal: Mr. Cyrus Dial’s gold mine, twelve miles from Marietta, in Chero kee couuty, is turning out gold in surprising quantities. It is by far the richest mine discovered iu Georgia. The dirt iu his yard ml garden are lit rally full of particles of the 1 precious staff. Mr. John Durham visited -Mr. Dial’s place, and he informs ns that he saw Mr. Dial take a frying pan full of dirt from his garden and from it he extracted « ue pennyweight of gold, while from two small rocks he got two pennyweights with out any trouble. Gold as large as grains of ■•heat shine in the rocks, true indications of abundance. Mr. Durham says in two hours’ time Mr. Dial washed out eight dollars worth of gold. We have two specimens from this m ne. Mr. Dial was a poor man, but he now finds himself suddenly rich. Atlanta Herald : Yesterday we had a talk ■with Andrew Bates, Esq., relative to a gold mine nut in Douglas count*, of which he has recently become part owner, iu connection ■with Gen. Barnes and Dr. Hape. The mine has been iu operation by Messrs. Lawra-on, Blanchard A Co., until they sunk all the money at their command. Gen. Barnes lias au old California miuer with him, who had been out in Douglas prospecting when he r »nie across this mine. He examined it and louud it would “pan out.’’ He told tho Gen eral, aud he told Mr. Bates, kuowiug that he bad plenty of fnnds at h.s command, and then they told Dr. H tpe, because he knew all about gold. One day last week T his party got a phaeton and went "fit to the mini and prospected fora couple "f days. They found a rich vein of gold quartz of about half a mile in length. The "Id miner said he knew of but one mine richer than tnis one promised to be, and that was in California. The result was General Barnes, Mr. Bates and Dr. Hapo bought ont the machinery of the old firm, mul dosed a contract by which they be - ••ome lessees of four hundred acres of tbe land for ten years. Mr. Bates was induced *° f ugage iu the enterprise through the judgment of Gen. Barnes and Dr. Hape. They will iuvest ibont *20,000 to begiu ^ith, but will increase it if the prospects ■warrant it. A shrewd countryman who went to New Haven last w’eek to get his dividend from the Townsend Savings Bank, and found ft large number of people in line before him, bribed a neighboring peanut vender t-o engage with him in a mock fight. Of course the line broke up, and the coun tryman was on© of the first to start after- get his money. PROPRIETOR. SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1875. ESTABLISHED 1850. THE MOKMXJ NEWS.

New York, November 14.—The details of the shooting of Mrs. Burroughs by her husband in Brooklyn, yesterday, re veal a most sbockiug domestic tragedy. About three mouths ago. after an angry dispute between husband and wife, she determined to separate from him, and ou the following day she left their residence aud hired rooms, where she continued to live with her child. Burroughs was a drunken, dissipated fellow, and most un justly jealous of his wife, who was a most faithful aud industrious womau. During tLe past week Burroughs paid two visits to his wife—the first ou last Monday eve ning, aud the second on Wednesday evening. On the first occasion he came aloi; 3, and finding that his wife had closed her door on discovering his presence iu the house he burst it open, and thr< at- eued to kill her. Some of the neighbors interfered, and a police officer being called he was removed, but was not locked up, as his wife said she did not wish to have him punished, but that ull she wanted was to be left alone. On the following Wednesday eveuiug, accom panied by his married Hister. a very re spectable lady', he again visited his wife, and made au urgent appeal to her to for give his past offences and come and live with him again. It is said that he plead ed very piteously, and, takiug up the Bi ble, swore that if she complied with his request he would live a sober, temperate life, and never give her any cause to find fault with him. The wife, however, was inexorable. This was the last meeting between the ill-mated couple till yesterday morning, when they had their final aud fatal interview. At about 8 o’clock Burroughs burst into bis wife’s apartments as she was preparing her breakfast. She hud her little girl on her knee, when the door suddenly opened, aud she was confronted with the pres ence of her husband, who had noiselessly walked up stairs. After husband ami wife had been closeted together for about an hour a loud scream aud two shots fired in rapid succession were heard. Before the terror-stricken residents of tho house could fairly realize the situation, they were startled on beholding Burroughs with a wild look and manuer, and with a four barrelled Sharp’s revolver in his hand, rush dowu stairs, and walk hur riedly to the station house. When the neighbors entered the wife’s rooms a shocking spectacle met their view’. Stretched on her back on the floor was the dead body of Mrs. Burroughs, the blood pouring in a warm stream from two siuaII wounds, one iu tbe throat aud the other in the face, just below tbe right ear. In the small bed-room adjoining the little girl was found covered np in the bed clothes, trembling with fright. A messenger has tened with the startling intelli gence of the tragedy to the station house, where, however, it had been al ready briefly communicated by the self- confessed murderer himself. A physi cian at once dispatched to the scene of the tragedy. The murderer, however, had fully accomplished his purpose, aud there was no use for the doctor’s services. When the murderer made his appearance at the station-house he showed no con cern whatever. He walked up to the desk and said: “I have shot my wife, and have come to give myself up.” Bur roughs was known to the police from the reason that he had been at times dissi pated. . A book agent called on a farmer near Oriskany the other day, aud was told that the farmer was too busy to talk with him. “But,” said the agent, “your farm work is all done: you have nothing to occupy your time.” “Yes I have, too,” retorted the farmer;” “I’ve got to plant my foot and raise a book agent,” and he did. He raised the hook agent about four feet. Evening Telegrams. TURKEY’S DEFEAT. What the London Times Thinks of the llerzo^ovinlau Mi nt'ale. SOME INFORMATION AS TO THE REVENUE. CAPITAL NOTES.

The com missioner, at the suggestion of Young’s su- pei visor, demands certain dismissals. The internal revenue receipts for July, August, September and October, compared with last year, show two and a half millions mcieasc. This November will probably show au increase of a million and a half over the last. The customs for July, Au gust, September and October show a Jail ing off of three millious.

THE SICK MAN. London, November 19.—The Times says, editorially: “Herzegovina is as fairly oat of the Sultan’s grasp as if destiny had settled it by a conference of the powers. Peace can only bo brought about by the extinction of Turkish authority; but if the disturbed provinces are ouce iu the safe-keepiug of Austria, that power might take a leisurely survey of the situation aud provide for the future.” PROM MOBILE.

James Hotel the Pride of “The I.and of Flowers." [Special Correspondence ot the Morning News.] ItOYTON’S NEXT. Three Hundred Mile* Without the Water. [London Cor. Boston Globe.] I have recently several times seen Cap tain Boyton and his brother, as well as Mr. Merriman, the inventor and proprie tor of the life saving dress, and had the chance of talking with them on what they are engaged on aud hope to do. The Captain is now in Germany making ar rangements for a little trip of three hun dred miles down the Rhine from Switzer land to Rotterdam he proposes soon to try without leaving the water during his journey; and although this seems an almost impossible feat to accom plish, it would hardly be safe m these times to predict that it could not be done. Mr. Merriman is now on his way back to America to see if be cannot get the dress more extensively adopted, and cer tainly it or one of the snme kind should be taken up and used by all the steamship lines aud humane societies. He has already some agreement for sup plying our Navy Department with them, and from this beginning he wishes and expects to have its advantages seen and availed of by others. At the meeting of the “Association for the Reform and Codification of the Law of Nations,” just held at The Hague, one of the topics be fore the conference was “greater safety at sea,” and the committee appointed to work up the subject in all its bear ings and report at its next meeting are to consider, among other points, what kind of life preserving dress can most advantageously be adopted by steamship companies for passengers and crew, as few travelers are satisfied with the present means at hand for saving life in case of au accident occurring. Some thing better, both in the way’ of boats or rafts, as well as dress or life-preservers for the individuals, is greatly to be de sired, and public opinion ought to force the companies to carry them, which would be done by having laws passed to give no ship a commission until properly supplied. The two Captains, Boyton and Webb, are important characters here now, and their photographs can be seen in all the shop win dows. Apropos of their relative ex- ploits. an American lady not long ago, I hear, made a very good answer, to an English lady who, shortly after Webb's swim across the Channel, was good- naturedly twittiug her aud asking, “Where the Americans were now?” aud that they must admit that Boyton was outdone. “On the coutrary,” was the reply of the daughter of Columbia, “there is no comparison between the two cases. What Captain Webb has done is simply an interesting exploit of personal courage and endurance, but of no particu lar use to any one ; while what our Captain Boyton has proved is in the interest of humanity.” Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 17, 1875. There is abont as much necessity for me to paint the iilv and perfume the rose as to attempt to add anything new to what has already been written in regard to Jackson ville as a winter resort for the people of the colder sections of the country. It has been “done” most thoroughly, and in a thousand different ways, by male and female tourists, and the Bohemians of the press have “writ ten it up” in the most glowing language, while guide books an J directories, and works of a more extensive and dignified character, have recorded its history and presented itB attractions iu a more peimanent if not re liable form. JACKSONVILLE FOB SETTLERS. In this series of letters my purposo is chiefly to give an outline guide, to people who desire to settle permanently iu Florida, of the country. For particulars they can address the parties to whom I shall refer as being able and willing to impart all such needed information. In a future seiies of letters I shall have something to say of Florida as a winter resort for tourists. There are many persons in the North and West who desire to kuow what opportunities there are here for business investments and industrial employments. Not a few have an idea that during the winter months there must be a great demand for e'erks, assist ants and laborers, and that by coming here they can at once step into lucrative and profitable sitnatious. This is a great mis take at any time, and especially so this year, when every branch of business is fully sup plied, aud a large surplus of help is vainly seeking something to do, satisfied if it will but pay board bills during the cold months in theistatoH from which they have come. Jacksonville is delightfully situated on the west bank of the famous St. John’s river, some thirty-five miles from the Atlantic ocean, aud is really the metropolis of the State. It is to Florida what Atlanta is to Georgia, a live, cosmopolitan city, and must in a few years become the capital. Talla hassee, which now has that honor, is a very healthy and attractive place, but, like Mil- ledgevllle in your own State, is removed from the great lifles of travel, and lies out side the circle of the rapid develop ments of tho nineteenth ccutury. Witn a population of from teu to twelve thousaud, to which can be added nearly as many more visitors who spend here tho winter months, Jacksonville cannot fail to be lively for six months of the year iu its business and social circles. Bay street, which runs parallel with the river, is the principal business street, although the cross streetH, many of them, are used for that purpose. Fine brick blocks, from one to four stories iu height, are to be seen for nearly a mile along both sides of Bay street, and some of the stores are as commodious aud beautiful, and filled willi as valuable stocks as cau bo* fouud in the largest cities of the South. The new dry goods establishment of Messrs. Farcbgott, Benedict A Co. is a really at tractive place for visitors, as the rear en trance affords a oharmiug aud extended view of the St. John’s river, from which a cool, refreshing breeze is almost sure to bo enjoyed. The residences, for the moat part, are pleasantly located ou level ground, and sur rounded by a profusion of evergreen slirub bery, with oraugeand banana trees scattered about the yards. The style aud size of the dwelling houses are characteristic of the people here. Some are very small aud very plain, while others are quite large aud quite showy. There can be seen the snug little wooden cottage of the poor working man, and near by tbe elegant brick mansion of the wealthy merchant rises to notice in the midst of a rich profusion of orange, banana and other desirable trees, while beautiful and fragrant flowers of every hue and tho choicest varieties, make you feel that yon are indeed in the wonderful semi- tropical “Land of Flowers.” On nearly every corner is a large boarding house or family hotel, or a church edifice for white or colored people, the latter churches being exceedingly numerous. The number of commodious first class boarding houses is very largo indeed, and during tbe winter months they are all well patronized. The St. James Hotel, the leading hotel ot the State, is in the centre of tho city, while the Grand National is at the railroad wharf, and Greenleafs celebrated “Free Museum of Floral Cariosities,” which every tourist should be sure to see, tilled me with the most delightful surprise. Iu addition to his live rattlesnake, wild cats, alligators and other animals and birds, he displayed an immense quantity of sea beans, shells, corals, alligators’ teeth, feather flowers, shell flowers, scale flowers, bird skins and eggs, insects of every variety, aud other things too numerous to mention. The sea beans are elegantly polished and mounted in gold for watch charms, as are the alliga tors’ teeth. Ladies’ sleeve buttons, ear drops and breast pins are also made of these articles, aud some are sold as high as $15 per set. The feather flowers are per fectly magnificent in color aud finish, and the shell and scale flowers are very exquisite and delicate iu their purity and pearly lustre. Orange sticks, cut from orange trees and polished, are sold in large numbers for walking caDes. In fact, I feel safe in re peating a common remark here that tbe visitor to Jacksonville does not feel “all right” until he has an orange walking stick iu his baud and a sea bean on his watch chain. Aud tbe ladies cannot r st until they have a sea bean or alligator's teeth charms or jewelry, or can dress «heir hair or ornament •their hats with feather, shell or scale flowers. At E. F. Gilbert’s jewelry store I have also seen a magnificent display of the»e articles, and examined several valuable natural curiosities. Roth of these gentle men (and especially Mr. Groeuleaf, who is about to remove to more commodious aud attractive quarters,) arc quite attentive and polite to visitors, and cheerfully show them many very valuable curiosities peculiar to this 'State. There are other smaller dealers, aud tho aggregate sales ot all who engage m this traffic amount, I am informed, to thousands uuou thousands of dollars, nearly every cent of which, (for pennies are taken here) except for the gold used in mounting tho jewelry, is for home products. Mr. Greenleaf showed me in oue little paste board, the size of my baud, $500 worth of alligators’ teeth, gold mounted, ready for sale. Before the season is over this aud several such lots will be sold. Here, theu, iu the preparation of these stuffed birds, tn- socts, flowers and triukots, is au important and profitable branch of industry, and I am told that very many ladies ot culture aud high social position make a handsome sup port by preparing tbe more elegant and ex pens ve styles of featlur. shell and scale flowers. Still, with all these small industries iu operation during the winter months, aud thousands of visi’ors spending the season in this city, I would caution persons against coming here with a confident hope of secur- inf^^jy kind of manual labor or light employ- i:i-W Every position seems to bo filled, and during the past few days I have seen several parties sadly turning their faces homeward with less money in their pockets and more good sense in their heads than when they came here a week ago expecting to find immediate employment. There is work, however, for all who desire to culti vate the soil. Lawyers, coming here, lay up their law’ books ; doctors pack up their surgical instruments; clerks aud daudies hang up their fancy clothing, and, clad iu plain, substantial material, they all take up the shovel, rake or hoe, if tho axe is not first needed to clear the trees away, aud commence the honorable and praiseworthy occupation of digging an honest and well- earned living out of the fruitful soil of this semi-tropical region. There are cases iu which persons desiring the benefit of this climate, aud who have not the means to board themselves here during the winter mouths, obtain employment iu stores or offices, but suen cases are rare, aud shonld not influence others to come hero without means to fail back upon in case of failure to secure a situatiou. Tho cheapest board, iu the commonest boarding-houses, is about thirty dollars a month. From this the prices run up to fifty aud sixty dollars per month, according to the grade of boarding-house selected, and the style of accommodations required. House-keoping aud boarding are as cheap iu Jacksonville as iu any city of its size in the .country, tho expense of either depending upon location aud style of living. There is nothing in tho climate or sur roundings to prevent poor people from being economical aud contented in their humble homes, around which heaven show ers many blessings that falls upon no other portion of this broad laud of ours.

Togni, the energetic proprietor, is a public spirited citizen, and has done much for the prosperity of Jacksonville. Tho front view of his popular hotel is not attractive, butthe grounds in the rear are handsomely laid out, audl saw figs and bananas ripening on his fruit trees to-day. There I also saw several curious and valuable plants and beautiful flowers, all of which this singular “old bachelor" landlord is as fond of as if they were his children. Oranges, bananas, lemons, tigs aud other fruits can be seeu in the poor man’s little yard as w 11 as on the beautiful and extensive grounds abont the rich rnau’s stately mansion. Thero are blessings aud privileges here of a most de sirable and beneficial character, that are shared alike by the rich and the poor, neither class having a monopoly. OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVESTMENTS. To men of means and euergy, who wish to come to Florida for the purpose of in vesting their money in aud devoting their energies to business enterprises, Jackson ville offers a good field of operation, as do many of the smaller growiug cities and towns iu other parts of the State. Business men here, as in all portions of the world, get dissatisfied and want to change either their business or location, which constantly offers an opportunity for the new comer to invest. In many cases men come bore for their health, and as the climate proves fa vorable to its restoration, engage in busi ness, but after a time find themselves un successful, having neither the tact nor the experience to carry on any kind of commer cial pursuit. There are, in consequence, frequent favorable opportunties to go into almost any variety of business here, or to purchase stores, hotels, boarding houses, or small “truck” farms near the city. As to beiug successful iu those investments, it will depend greatly upon the energy, busi ness habits aud experience of the parties making them. Florida is like all other States, and the shoemaker can hardly expect to prosper here as a jeweler, or the far mer as a merchant, but each in his proper sphere cau hope to win success by a faithful attention to his own business af fairs. Jacksonville is a growing city, is sur rounded by a good country, and investments made hero by prudent men cau hardly fail to be safe and remunerative. “Truck*farm ing” aud fruit culture cau be carried on in the immediate vicinity, if farmers prefer to locate near a large city, and homes can be purchased in or near Jacksonville at all prices, from $500 to $20,000. City lots, un improved, can be had at reasonable prices, according to location. There are many mechanical pursuits that ought, iu time, to be established here, and which, I should suppose, could bo made profitable. The rapidity with which the government aud State lands are boing taken up for immediate settlement, with the equally rapid growth of towns along the St. John’s river, must eventually make Jackson ville a moBt desirable point at which to es tablish various important manufacturing enterprises. A good cotton factory, properly managed, would absorb all the cotton raised in this vicinity, find a ready s de for its fabrics, aud do a great deal to help diversified farm labor throughout this sectiou of Florida. Steam saw mills are numerous, aud lumber iu largo quantities is shipped from this port to tbe Northern aud Western markets. This one branch of industry, on the 8t. John’s river alone, has iuvested iu it, and generally profitably, several huudred thousand dollars, r nrniture manufactories ought just now to be in demand, as but fo v settlers bring any articles of household furniture with them. At Ellaville, ou the J., P. and M. R. R., iu Middle Florida, a factory of this kind has been established, and promises to be suc- cessfuL Jacksonville is fast waking up to the importance of establishing within or near the city limits large mechanical enter prises. Already a palmetto factory in at work, an extensive cigar factory is being established, and shortly a marmalade fac tory will be put in operation, which will con sume teu thousand sour wild oranges per week. This establishment will be a great benefit to thousands of settlers up the river, to whom it will open a ready market for the wild oranges which abouud in that sectiou, and which are most desirable for the manu facture of marmalade. TRAFFIC IN CURIOSITIES. I had supposed that Niagara Falls was the greatest place in the worl i for the sale of curiosities and fancy work peculiar to that region; but I am satisfied that Jacksonville is far ahead in the quantity and quality of both her cariosities aud her fa-icy work, as well as in the araonnt sold each season. This immense trade gives profitable employ ment to a large number of persons, who prepare these curiosities ana make this hue; work tor Mte. A viiit to Dmbob large aud well printed, and from Colonel Brett, of its city department, I have re ceived many kind favors during my stay here. The Press is a small, but no less lively and popular sheet. Dr. W. H. Bab cock, oue of its editors, a highly cultivated geutlemau, aud formerly connected with the Morning News, I have fonud a very ac commodating and instructive guide to the natural curiosities aud most desirable scenes of this vicinity, for all of which he can fur nish the usual jaw-breaking technical and ludian or Spauish names. He is not only au able and live editor, but no man has more at heart, or labors more earnestly to secure, tho prosperity of the city. Strangers, especially those who are really sincere iu wishing to obtain au intel ligent knowledge of Florida, should meet Dr. Babcock. The editor of the Xeto South, Mr. Pratt, is quite ill, and I have not met him. The office was closed when I called, so that I have seen no one connected witti this paper. The Semi-Tropical, a haudsom 1 and valuable agricultural monthly magazine, is published here, aud the office of the Florida Agriculturist, printed at Tal lahassee, is also in Jacksonville. The Press is a red iiot Democratic paper, the Union a moderate Republican sheet, and the X> to South a full blooded Radical organ. All, however, are liberally supported, and have their warm frieuds and adherents. Per sons in other sections of the country cau get a good idea of the business character of J tcksonville by sending for a specimen copy of each of these papers, from which they wiiralso glean some important information in regard to local and State politics. THE ST. JAMES HOTEL. I cannot close my ietter without a special reference to this splendid establishment, already widely known as the largest and j most elegantly furnished hotel in the State. The location is admirable, beiug on St. James Park, aud covering tbe entire block. It presents a very attractive front of two huudred aud ten feet on the Park, and has an imposing side view on Laura street of the same leugtn, including the uew extension to the wing iu which the commodious dining room is situated. For families aud invalids this house offers peculiar advantages, boing removed from the noise aud bustle of the business part of tbe city, and having very comfortable and handsomely furnished rooms on the ground floor. In the centre of St. Jam*'8 Park thure is a mo^t tastefully con structed arbor, where guests can find out door recreation for themselves aud children. Every amusement needed in a hotel con taining rooms for three hundred guests can be found iu the St. James, which has its band of music, its dancing soirees, bowling alley, billiard hail and bath rooms, all h.'hted by gas and heated by steam pipes. Mr. J R. Campbell, the manager, is not ouly experienced in the business, but will always be fouud a most pleasant aud accommo dating landlord, one who at all times is ready aud willing to make liberal terms with families or parties desiring board for the whole or a considerable portion of the season. With a well supplied table and at tentive waiters, comfortable rooms and a del ghtful location, 1 can confidently pre dict the most gratifying success for the S resent popular manager of the palatial St. arncs, the pride of the “Laud of Flowers.” And with this prediction on my lips I leave its hospitable root fora voyage np the beau tiful St. John’s river, by Brock’s well-known daily line of steamers. Sidney Herbert. Some Additional Election Returns. —Oue of the wearied judges of election in Baltimore city had occasion yesterday to correct some irregular returns of his five-year-old son, and in figuring up the matter found in the youth's pockets the following interesting articles, which had not been previously counted among the election ballots: Eleven slate pencils, one lead pencil, six marbles, two tops, one clothes hook, broken and demoralized; one tin whistle, two pieces camphor, two pieces of slate, fashioned for brudder bones; one piece zinc, sponge, one tidy, oue pair mittens, one calico bag for the marbles, one piece of chalk, one diagram of Ford’s Opera House, twenty buttons of various shapes and nationalities, one pin-cushion, and a chunk of cast iron weighing a pound a half.—Baltimore Sun. The ubiquity of Mr. Smith is strikingly indicated by the fact that he preaches to one hundred and sixty Baptist congrega tions in this country. The total number of Parliamentary electors now on the registers of England and Wales is 2,301*200, Montreal, Can., November 1G. burial of Joseph Guibord iu his famili’ lot in the Catholic cemetery took place to-day, the body being transferred from its temporary resting place in a vault in the Protestant cemetery. HISTORY OF THE C4?>E. Joseph Guibord was a French-Canadian Roman Catholic, an excellent man character, a printer by trade, aud enjoyed a first-rate business. He was a scientific printer, and was the first to introduce stereotyping into Canada. He became a member of the Institut Canadieu two or three years after its establishment. Vicar- General Moreau, iu giving an account of the trouble, says that the Institut Cana dian. wheu first started, was not objected to by the church, but a number of mem bers of secret societies having joined the society the church withdrew its support. The library of the Institut was shortly after supplied with the works of Moliere, Voltaire aud other objectionable volumes, upon which the members were informed that so long as they were connected with the society they would be refused admis sion to tbe sacrameuLs of the Church, and would be refused ecclesiastical burial. Several members left the society, aud Guibord, who did not, shortly after fell sick and sent for a priest, who refused him the last sacraments till he renounced his membership. Guibord promised, re ceived extreme unction, aud recovered, but did not leave the society, ami a year or so afterward (November 18, 18G9,) died so suddenly that there was no time to fetch a priest. The Church refused burial ou the above grounds aud a law case was instituted. The case finally reached the privy council and was there decided in favor of Guibord. An at tempt to bury him in his lot in the Cath olic cemetery iu September last was frustrated by a mob. The bishop of Montreal, however, sent out assurances that if Guibord’s frieuds insisted on burying him iu the Catholic cemetery the earth that covered him would be accursed, and iu accordance with these assurances the bishop sent a letter to the churches declariug that “the spot iu the cemetery where the body of the late Guibord shall be buried, even though iu the future it be exhumed in any manner whatever, will be in fact and in manuer interdicted and set apart from the rest of the ceme tery." A bloody conflict was anticipated notwithstanding this and the advice of the Catholic clergy against disorder, and preparations were made accordingly. POLICE PREPARATIONS. Chief of Police Ponton was ordered to rep rt himself this morning, with oue hundred meu to the Mayor of Cote des Neiges and Outramout, and a body of men were ordered to proceed armed to the Catholic cemetery to protect those engaged in digging the grave. At half past eight o’clock Chief of Police Penton met the Mayor at the residence of the latter and received instruction to march his whole reserve force of about one hundred men to the Protestant cemetery. The force left the central police station at a quarter to nine o’clock, led by the chief himself, and accompanied by de tectives. Forty of the men were armed with breech-loading rifles, the remainder merely being armed with batons. They proceeded in column of fours to the Protestant cemetery. Iu accordance with instructions, the volunteers turned out on Champ de Mars this forenoon. The Victoria Rifles was the first battalion to put in an appear ance, nud to the number of about 250 officers and men they collected in the drill shed opposite the Champ de Mats. At 8 o’clock they were formed in com panies. some of which were ordered to stand at ease, while the remainder passed the time iu company drill. About 8:30 Colonels Fletcher and Boem rode into the Champ de Mars. The water police were armed with Spencer rifles. Judge Coursol, iu order to be prepared for the worst, had au extract from the riot act got ready yesterday afternoon. The Victorias were followed to the Champ de Mars by the Mounted Engineers, num bering 30 men ; the Sixth Hochelagar,- 25 men; the Prince of Wales Rifles, 250; the Garrison Artillery, 200, the cavalry aud Colonel Stevenson’s battery at this time appearing at the command of Colonel Fletcher. - The troops moved to the right iu fours, and marching down the hill at St. Ga briel’s Church, proceeded along Craig street, the artillery leading. Crowds of people lined Craig street, aud evidently enjoyed the spectacle. OPENING THE GRAVE. At the Catholic cemetery, about 8:30 o'clock Mr. Reid and Mr. Boissenu, su perintendent of the Institut, accom panied by a couple of the former’s men, attwe up to the Protestant cemetery with their tools and a quantity of Portland cement, and about 9 o’clock entered the Catholic cemetery from the back, aud commenced operations at the grave. The ground was found to be frozen about six inches down, while there was a thin layer of snow above. However, by 9:30 o’clock the two diggers had reached the coffin of the late Mdme. Guibord, without diffi culty, and au opening was made on each side and at the ends in order to admit of a thick layer of Portland cement being introduced. At 9:15 o’clock a sqnad of police, eighteen iu number, arrived, under Ser geant Fekonninck, and were marshaled round the burial lot, forming a hollow square, from the inside of which all civilians, except Messrs. Boisseau, ltied aud the reporters, were excluded. The scene was quiet, only a few members of the Institut aud two or three boys being present, besides those officially engaged. Some twenty or thirty young French Cana dian roughs gathered near the vault, aud as a reporter’s carriage drove up, about 9:15 o’clock, t *ey stood comparatively in the way till the driver was about to stop or shout out to them, wheu they slowly opened, and peering into it intently, let it pass. When Messrs. Boisseau and Reid first arrived, Mr. Choquette, secre tary of the Fabrique, aud Mr. Deltoche, sexton, carno over and took official cogni zance of the grave-digging, after which they departed. At 10 o'clock the grave was finished and was ready for the coffin, which will rest on the lid of Madame Guibord’s coffiu. At 10 o’clock not over twenty specta tors were to be seen, but were collecting from both ways. At 10:10 a number of members of the Institut, wearing their badges of mourning, came and became attentive spectators of the soLernn scene. The Mayor appeared.upon the Champ do Mars for a few momenta about half an hours before the troops set out. Colonel Lovelace accompanied Colonel Fletcher. guibord’s body. The troops proceeded along Craig's street to St. Lawrence and Main street, marching at shoulder-arms forsom-j little distance, after which they were allowt-d to march at ease. The police formed a hollow square around the cemetery vaults, and Mr. Spriggins, producing the keys, unlocked the massive iron doo;s. As they swung open he and his men en tered, followed by the friends of the de ceased. After a little delay the coffin containing Guibord’s remains was pro duced, when Mr. Boisseau asked if those were the remains of the late Joseph Guibord, kept by him for six years, de livered up by him agaiu on the 22d of September, and returned to him for safe keeping on the same day. Mr. Spriggins said they were the same. Mr. Boisseau thanked Mr. Spriggins and the Directors of the cemetery for their kindness in keeping the remains for so long a time. Thereupon Chief Penton gave the com mand to shoulder arias. The police did so, aud the funeral pro cession started, which at that time only consisted of a couple of carriages. It proceeded at a slow walk down Montreal avenue into Cote street, Cathedral road, and so aronnd' the mountain, the police being the sole guardians, as the military were far behind, never going up to the oemeteiy at all. The procession drew all the reaidente along the road out of their houses, and men and women followed it ou to Cote des Neiges. SCENE IN THE CATHOLIC CEMETERY. From here into the Catholic Cemetery the road was crowded with people of all classes, in cabs, carts and on foot. Great quiet prevailed, and no oue showed by look, word or deed, any feeling of hostil ity toward the procession. About five minutes after the Catholic Cemetery gates had been taken down the funeral procession entered between the gate posts. Chief Penton at the head of the column of police, a portion of which preceded and the balance followed the hearse. The military did not follow closely after the police, and were halted at the village of Cote des Neiges. The crowd began gathering from every direction, and ran with all speed up the various avenues toward the grave. The police wheu they arrived formed a large square around the grave aud kept the eager crowd back, while the coffiu was brought out of the hearse, looking some what dilapidated, aud borne by four men aud placed in the centre of a bed of ce ment. As this was being done Rev. Cure Ronsselet came up. and going alongside Mr. Boisseau asked to what depth the grave was dug? Mr. Boisseau replied that it had b^-en dug four feet in depth by authority of the cemetery. Cure Ronsselet next askod if the body had been promptly identilted. Mr. Boissean replied that it had, and there was no mistake. FILLING UP THE GRAVE. The process of filling in the grave then began, and the cure went away. The Mayor, who represented the civil arm of the law, both for the city and the two municipalities, while Judge Coursol ap peered on behalf of the military, was desirous of conducting the funeral with the least possible parade or ostentation, aud so w’lien he hail, in company with Judge Coursol, ridden on ahead of the procession and found all quiet iu the cemetery aud at the grave, rode back, and orders were given to halt the military in Cote des Nieges, while the procession proceeded. The moment the coffiu was lowered into the grave the work of mixing cement with water was commenced. The workmen industriously plied their spades, shoveling iu the liquid cement, mingled with odds aud ends from tiushops and scraps of sheet iron, which, when the ce ment hardens, will weld the mass firmly together and prevent brittleness. The comments of the spectators were various as the work went on. Borne thought if an additional desecration of tbe cernett ry, and hinted that it was one more reason w r hy the cursed Guibord would havu to come out of that. As the filling-in process continued the police grew less strict iu holding the crowd back, ami the assemblage speedily environed the grave, getting in the way of the work men and compelling Mr. Ried to order them away. Mr. Camyre, a distant relative of the deceased, said a few words bearing testi mony to his excellent character, and the esteem in which he was Ifeld by those who knew him. The speaker’s remarks were not received with approbation from a number of roughs, who hooted at Mr. Camyre. Beyond this there was nothing publicly said on the side of the Institut Canadieu. The animus of the crowd col lected was unmistakable. THREATS TO DIG HIM UP. Threats to dig Guibord’s boues out of the grave if occasion offered were so openly expressed that Mr. Boisseau de termined to secure if possible a guard of police from the mayor to watch the grave for at least twenty-four hours, thus giv ing time for the cement to harden into solid rock. The mayor and Judge Conr- sol had departed ou seeing the burial q'jet’v commenced, and Air. Boisseau dispatched a special messenger with a note asking the mayor to provide protec tion, or el«K he feared the grave would be opened. The mayor promptly consented to this, and wrote out an order for a suf ficient body of police to be sent out as a guard until such time as tho note re quired. Tbe cement was filled in over tne coffiu to near the surface, and when the top dressing of earth was piled ou and Guibord was BURIED AT LAST. A drizzling, cold rain fell down ou the snowy, muddy ground and ou the specta tors who witnessed the closing act in the drama commenced six years ago. When all was over Chief Penton rode up in front of the grave, aud the police formed into two divisions and marched off. A crowd of about twenty-five or thirty degraded looking loafers then gathered around the grave, aud one of them, in mockery, put a dead thistle stalk at the foot of it, which was snatched up by a bystander, at whom they began to jeer. They at tempted nothing further for some time, and looked rather uncomfortable, as the rain, which was then falling, hail the effect of dampening their ardor. As the last cab, containing Mr. Boisseau, moved off, the military, after waiting a short time a little way from the gate of the Catholic cemetery till the burial was completed, advanced down the rood, halting at Cote des Nieges toll-gate, wheu they continued their march to Champ de Mars, where they again halted. After a few minutes orders to disband were given, aud each battalion marched to their armory. The Louisiana Sugar Crop.—The New Orleans Times says: It was* found a month ago by those who turned the first wheels that the cane was yielding poorly, and bad reports were seut off in relation to the sugar prospect of this year. Now the mills are all grinding and the smoke from the bagasse furnaces, boiler stacks and sngarhonse chimneys may be seen night and day all over the sugar region of Louisiana. The next two months will be busy months in this section. We are happy to state that the yield is not only satisfactory but in many cases surpasses expectation. The yield last year was equal to the best days before the war. Iu parts of St. Alary parish, three and oven four hogsheads were made to the acre, and we learn that as good, or better, crops are in that region this year. The weather his indeed been most favorable for sugar, and the sugar interests of the South are looking up. Xrpl Salts.

The London Times takes the following view of American diplomacy. It is in sulting enough to make the American eagle scream: A war between the I'nited States and Spain on account of Cuba would be all but inevitable if American dispatches could be coustruod as literally as those of European countries. No European government would seud such a note as that which President Grant has caused to be delivered to the Cal inet of Madrid unless it were ready to fight; and any government with a sense of self respect would fight rather than yield to such dictation. As there is, happily, little reason to fear that President Grant means to be taken at his word, we may look at his demand quite calmly. Bamum has been lecturing at Chicago, and he tells the following story' : In his museum, a gentleman and daughter stood gazing at the Siamese twins. The show man said they were the most remarkable phenomenon in the whole world, were born in Siam, etc. “Brothers, I sup pose,” remarked the gentleman, interro gatively, still looking with wonder at the tied ups. “Yes, sir, brothers ; natural brothers, too,” said the sbowmau. “My dear,” said the vmitor, religiously turning to his daughter, “think of the goodness of Providence in thus linking two natu ral brothers together, instead of two strangers.” A report that the new consolidation bonds of South Carolina, issued in ex change for con pons alleged to have been fraudulently outstanding, would be repu diated, is crutradirted by the Governor and other S .ate office s.
