ury* It appears that in 1872, a merchan
doing business in liichmond, Ky., hat
occasion to dig a cellar for the purpose o
enlarging his business premises. One
night a resident of a neighboring villag
fell into it. He alleges that he broke hi*
arm and was paralyzed in the right side,
as the result of the fell. Suit was entereo
for $10,000, and judgment given the suf
ferer in the sum of $4,500. Subsequent
iy the merchant ascertained that the in
jured man was a pensioner upon the gov

Tee Cuban Butchery.—The following
is one of the last orders issued by Valrna-
seda previous to his removal from the
Captain Generalship of Cut .:
“All countrymen bringing in one of I
these bandits, called insurgents, dead or
alive, to headquarters, will receive ten
gold doubloons, and eleven if bringing
also his musket. A recompense of from
three to ten doubloons will be paid to all
countrymen bringing information ena
bling the troops to destroy or surprise
insurgent camps. Farmers killing a rebel
prefect or sub prefect, or giving informa
tion producing that result, will be paid
fifteen doubloons.”
No rebellion was ever put down per
manently by such barbarous policy as
this. Butchery begets butchery, and we
have no doubt that the Cuban insurgents
are now doing quite as much throat-
cutting as their enemies. It is literally
“war to the knife, and the knife to the
hilt.”
Sensational.—The Washington cor
respondent of th6 New York Herald says
that among the Democrats of the House
a determined effort is to be made to force
the passage of a bill thrusting both Sher
man and Sheridan, two of the three Ma
jor Generals—Hancock, Schofield and
McDowell—and three of the Brigadier
Generals from the army and consigning
them to civil life, with perhaps, one
year’s salary to begin the business of
life upon.
The correspondent of the Herald doubt
less knows whereof he is speaking, but
he fails to give the public his authority.
That such a politic movement, just at this
time, has been determined on by the
Democrats of the House will be news to
them as well as to the country.
Even Harper 8 Weekly is constrained
to say of the crowning outrage perpe
trated in South Carolina : “It is in vain
for some Republicans to declaim abou^
negro outrages in Mississippi if other
Republicans make Moses and Whipper
Judges in South Carolina without a Re
publican protest. The voice of the
Republican press of the country should
unite in such a chorus of condemnation
of this act of the Legislature of South
Carolina, that that body and its abettors
in such acts may know how the party ab
hors and repudiates its conduct. Here is
an ‘outrage’ which the simplest can un
derstand, and which strikes at the root of
civil society.”
A Thought fob Oub Centennial
Gusheks.—Donn Piatt is in a retrospec
tive mood. He says: “In skipping the
parenthesis between to-day and a hun
dred years ago the mind naturally takes
to contrasts, and the most striking one is
afforded by comparing Sumter and Moul
trie in the field and Moses and Whipper
on the bench. The Huguenots then set
tled secure from religious persecution in
South Carolina, and their descendants are
now oppressed by ignorance and corrup
tion. Let the whole country glorify the
hundredth year, whose progressiveness
presents such a picture.”
Home Manufactubes and Home In
subance.—The Missouri State Board of
Agriculture have adopted resolutions of
regret that the farmers should be obliged
to send millions of their hard earned
money out of the State for the purchase
of manufactured fabrics and implements,
and pledging the support of the board to
the State Grange in the effort to promote
home industries. The board also recom
mended the establishment of county in
surance associations in accordance with
the existing statutes of the State.
Taxation in New Yobk.—The board
of estimate and apportionment of New
Y<grk city have determined on what it
apall cost the tax-payers for that city’s
government next year. The total esti
mates foot up $30,898,295, against *32,-
367,744 for 1875, showing a reduction of
nearly $1,500,000, not quite five percent.
The Tribune says: “This will be an ac
ceptable relief, though it scarcely reaches
the average economy which our citizens
are practicing in their private expendi
tures. ”
I he Reopening of the Beecher-TIl-
ton Case.
We have no doubt that ninety-nine
one-hundredths of the readers of the
News have long since dismissed the
Beecher scandal from their minds in utter
disgust, and with the settled conviction
that the Plymouth oracle entirely failed
in his efforts to disprove the charges on
which he was arraigned in the Brooklyn
court. It would be well for the interests
of society if the matter could be thus put
at rest, and that public decency should
not again be outraged by the details of
this most revolting scandal : but
it seems that the case which
was left undecided by the court, is again
to be opened, and that efforts are being
made both in the church and the courts
to place the pastor of Plymouth Church
in his true character before the world.
The public will therefore have to bear
another infliction of the details of the
evidence. This, it is to be hoped, will
not find the same publicity in the press
which was given to the first trial, but as
the public will feel more or less interest
in the progress of the case, a statement
of its present status and the attitude of
the parties to it would seem proper.
The issue in which the guilt or inno
cence of Beecher is involved is, it seems,
to be again revived, first by the suit
brought against Beecher by Moulton for
having set on foot the prosecution which
resulted in an indictment against the
latter, subsequently disposed of by the
District Attorney of Brooklyn entering a
nolle prosequi by consent of Mr. Beecher;
and secondly by an ecclesiastical mutual
council called for by Mrs. Moulton. This
application of Mrs. Moulton has caused
good deal of agitation in Beecher’s
congregation. Beecher and his friends
were willing to have what they call an
advisory council, which is practically ex
parte council; that is, a council called by
ODe party to hear and decide upon ques
tions which that party submits to it. This
device, however, was not successful, as
leading Congregational authorities pro
tested against it, and it may be doubted
Beecher could have obtained the
services of influential men in his denomi
nation on such a council, nor if he had,
would any weight have been attached
to th6 decision of an ex parte body. On
Monday evening of last week Beecher
undertook to say that Mrs. Moulton was
only used as an occasion by people who
stood behind her and who were de
termined to force the issue. The allusion
was to some of the most eminent and
respected men in the Congregational de
nomination, whom the Plymouth pastor
had the presumption to call “un
scrupulous.” The question raised by
Mrs. Moulton is whether a member or
members proposed to be dropped by the
congregation have not a right to a trial
examination if they demand it ;
whether they may not be “vindicated” in
thu conduct for which they are dropped ?
On this point the weight of experience
and authority in Congregational churches
is probably against Plymouth Church.
The pastors who have advised Mrs
Moulton have clearly done nothing more
than their duty.
Beecher now consents to the mutual
council, to which shall be referred the
general questions of Mrs. Moulton, whe
ther the church had valid and sufficient
reasons for dropping her, or whether she
had valid reasons for staying away from
the ministrations of the pastor. These
questions, rightly pursued, will lead to
the investigation of the bottom facts of
the scandal; but Beecher’s carefully con
sidered address on Monday evening shows
that his tactics will be to keep the dis
cussions of the council far away from the
true issue, and confine them to questions
of congregational order and practice.
Efforts are being made by Beecher and
his adherents to injure the character of
Mrs. Moulton, whose testimony was so
A Southern War Secret Revealed.
As has already been announced, Hon. A
H. H. Stuart and J. N. Opie, of Augusta
county, V a. ,are rivalcandidates for theLeg-
islature of that State, and made speeches
at a political meeting held in Staunton
recently. A correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch says that, among some
personal reminiscences related by Mr.
Stuart in his speech, was one connected
with the peace negotiations of the late
Confederacy that has never been made
public. He read a note from Hon. Judah
P. Benjamin, dated March 25, 1864, ask
ing him to come to Richmond for an in
terview with President Davis on business,
the subject of which was too important
to be committed to paper. He went,
and was informed by President Davis
that the Confederate Congress had voted
a oecret service fund of $3,000,000 in
gold, to be used in creating a peace senti
ment at the North. After looking over
the whole country, the “President” had
selected Mr. Stuart as the man for the
mission. He was to sail for Nassau, and
thence for Halifax, and there, from the
border of Canada, could operate on prom
inent men. The fund of $3,000,000 was
to be at his absolute disposal, and he was
not to be required to furnish vouchers
for its disbursement. Mr. Stuart de
clined the tender, and C. C. Clay, of Ala
bama, and two other gentlemen were ap
pointed. The Greeley correspondence
and the “ To whom it may concern” of
President Lincoln followed this mission.

The Wab Against Ritualism in Eng
land.—The autumnal conference of the
Church of England Association was held
at Liverpool November 17-18. The ob
ject of the association, which was formed
ten years ago, is to check ritualistic inno
vations, by the publication of pamphlets,
by the holding of public meetings, and
by suits at law. Six ritualistic suits have
been prosecuted at the instance of the
association, which has expended in these
trials upward of £30,000. A million and
a half of publications have been circu
lated, giving the doctrines of the Church
of England. At the conference essays
were read upon the public worship regu
lation act, the best means of counteract
ing ritualistic instruction, and other
topics. In conclusion a resolution was
passed calling upon the clergy and mem
bers of the Church of England to avail
themselves of the provisions of the pub
lic worship regulation act to suppress
ritualism.
Bishop Haven has been talking about
the third term, away out in Omaha. He
thinks Grant is going to be re-elected,
and that Mr. Blaine will defeat himself
by trying to imitate Grant too closely.
The Bishop has noticed a slight spirit of
contradiction between two departments
of Harper's Weekly on the third term
question, and makes this prediction:
“George William Curtis is going to get
out of there, notwithstanding his elegant
English and fine writing. You see that
Nast has never touched the third term
and he wouldn’t do it, and Nast makes
that paper, and not George William Cur
tis. It won’t do to have the pictorial and
the editorial clash. Nast has got more
political foresight than all the rest of
them put together, any how, and the
Harpers don’t care as long as they can
make money, notwithstanding they are
Methodists.” Old Praise-God-Barebones
talks too much.
damaging to Beecher in the late trial,
but their attempts can only recoil on
Beecher himself, who has been the most
emphatic of all men in testifying to her
rigid and exemplary morality. It is to
vindicate her character, which is assailed
by Beechers denial aud by the failure of
the jury to pronounce a verdict,that Mrs.
Moulton now persists in a hearing before
the church council and her husband
brings his suit in the courts. The Moul
tons have able counsel and as their ve
racity is consistent only with Beecher’s
guilt they are certainly justified in their
efforts by a fair investigation and trial to
make both appear.
The only newspaper in the United
States to censure Gov. Chamberlain, of
South Carolina, for trying to keep Moses
and Whipper from the bench is the fa
vorite White House organ, the Washing
ton Republican. It thus comments:
“Gov. Chamberlain has been inveigled
into a path of political turpitude, which
must eventually end his personal political
destruction. By a shrewd and carefully
prepared scheme the Democracy has suc
ceeded in making him a pseudo-apostate
from his party constituency, and securing
his gubernatorial influence to further
their efforts in overthrowing the Repub
lican power in the State.” So Moses and
Whipper are admitted to be the repre
sentatives of the “Republican power in
the State?” That is justification enough
of the Governor's “pseudo-apostasy.”
A memorial, signed by one hundred
and twenty-nine clergymen and sixteen
magistrates of the county of Derby, Eng
land, has been forwarded to the Home
Secretary, praying that in any bill which
the government may introduce relating
to the observance of Sunday, no permis
sion may be given for the opening of
aquaria or other places of amusement or
of secular instruction on that day for
money payment.
A Difference of Opinion,—A Wash
ington dispatch says : Several leading Re
publican Senators have recently express
ed their intention of subjecting the work
of the House Appropriation Committee
to the severest scrutiny, in so far as the
cutting down of estimates is concerned,
and there are strong indications that the
Senate will not cordially second the ef
forts at retrenchment in the expenses |of
the War and Navy Departments.

the citizens of Philadelphia, from the
hotel keepers to the boot-blacks,are anti
cipating a rich harvest from the crowds
of sight-seers who are expected to vieit
their big Centennial jamboree next sum

six lines of Philadelphia street cars—the
Chesnut and Walnut. Market street,
Axch, Race and Vine, Fourth and Eighth,
Spruce and Pine, Lombard and South—
whose routes pass through the centre of
the city, will cross the Schuylkill, and
run direct to the Centennial Exhibition
grounds. The capacity of these cars
will be hourly as follows: Seated, 8,800,
crowded 16,000, and packed, as they
usually are on' pleasure days, 24,000.
New and handsome cars will be built.

The people of South Carolina are de
manding the organization of the Demo
cratic party. The State committee and
the county committees are at work, and
on every hand Democratic clubs, com
posed of young men, are in process of
formation. Says the Columbia Register:
“The culmination of outrage and wrong
in the judicial election, and the terrible
prospect which it opens to the view of
all, have intensified the public feeling.
At last men realize that the State is both
ruined and disgraced, and that honeyed
words of conciliation and compromise are
no longer fit to be taken on their lips. At
last they see that all is lost unless they
bestir themselves and put down the cor
ruption which is gnawing at the vitals of
the State. Thank heaven.”
ttlden’s message.
New Yobk, January 4.—Governor TQden
dwells at length upon the financial condi
tion of the country. Among the causes of
the great and protracted depression, he in
cludes the extravagant expenditures of pub
lic money. Federal, State and local taxation
was in 1850 $3 57 for each inhabitant; in 1860
it was U 90; in 1870 it was $18 91. It is
difficult to add anything to the force
these startling figures. The whole amount
of money raised by taxation in the last
eleven yearB is more than $7,500,000,000.
The remedy for existing evils, the Governor
holds, is in a return to sound principles of
government. Prosperity mnst rest upon
the old foundations. There is a popular
revolt at financial quackery. The Governor
comments severely upon the expedients of
quacks, and he finds no Bafety but in the
restoration of an honest currency. He has
no sympathy with the theorists who, after
eleven years of convulsion without restora
tion, are now clamoring for restoration with
convulsion. He sees no danger of convul
sion in a return to specie payments.
A LAND CASE.
St. Louis, January 4.—The celebrated
land case under the title of Benjamin Scull
et al., heirs of Don Joseph Valliere, We,
H. Duryea et al., grantees of the heirs of
Valliere, and John Wilson, plaintiffs, vs. the
United States, defendant, was argued yester
day before Judge Krcbel of the United
States District Court, at Jefferson City.
The case involves some sir million
acres of land along the White
river, in Southwestern Missouri, and
Southeastern Arkansas, estimated to be
worth $15,000,000. The plaintiffs geek con
firmation of ceratin land grants alleged to
have been given to Col. Valliere by the
Spanish Government for military service.
About one-third of the contested property
is owned and occupied by persons under
grants from the United States, and numer
ous towns, villages and cultivated farms ex
ist thereon. Judge Krebel took the case
under advisement, and will render a decis
ion about the 1st of February.
CUBA AND AMERICA.
Vienna, January 4.—The Spanish Cabinet
learned from a confidential quarter in the
middle of December the contents of the
circular note of the United States to the
Enrope&n powers regarding Cuba. Spain
thereupon instructed her representatives to
explain to the various governments that the
Cuban question was not only of American
but of European interest and that the com-
lications between the United States aud
pain might have incalculable consequences
for Europe, as they would encourage the
Carlists to make a prolonged resistance
and revive the hopes of the Federalists, Re
publicans and Socialists. The Austrian
Government received these declarations in
a iriendly manner, aud will not reply to the
long American dispatch, which was only
read to Count Anderossy, and which not
only repudiated any intention of the annexa
tion of Cuba, but in reality contains no
definite conclusion.
ENGLISH NOTES.
London, January 4.—The adjourned meet

subject to such modification of details as
the committee may think necessary
expedient. After consultation with
President Jewett and the American bond
and stockholders, a resolution was passed
that a committee be appointed and empow
ered to execute the scheme, aud that Gov.
Tilden, of New York, be invited to act as
referee and decide all questions that might
rise in its completion and^execution.

Paris, January 4.—The Moniteur pub
lishes a letter from M. Buffet to the Prefect
of the Department of Lot. The minister
says the government deem it their duty to
take up Marshal Canrobert as a candidate
for the Satiate, because of bis patriotic con
duct in declining any nomination which
might appear to be hostile te President
MacMahon. This letter is regarded in some
quarters with dissatisfaction, as open to
the construction of designating Canrobert
as MacMahon’s successor.
Seniors Charge Against a (Federal
Officer.—Mr. Anthony Comstock, the
secretary and special agent of the New
York Society for the Suppression of
Vice, has brought an accusation of per
jury and embezzlement against Peter R.
Carl], United States Marshal for the dis
trict of Connecticut. Mr. Pierrepont,
Attorney General, has written to Mr.
Comstock on the subject, in which he
says:
“Go to the United States district at
torney, Mr. Childs, at Stamford, and
present him this letter. Tell him that in
addition to the charges you have made
ether and serious charges have lately
come to this department against Mr.
Carll, the Marshal. Present all your facts
to the district attorney. If they war
rant an arrest proceed with promptness
and vigor. If any officer of the govern
ment has been guilty of frauds in his
office he deserves the severest punish
ment which the law can give. If he is
guilty let no favor and no leniency be
shown. ”
’The Baltimore Gazette says Mr. Mor
ton has no more right to take up the
time of the Senate in “inquiring into”
the Mississippi election, and no more
pretext for it, than has Mr. Lamar to in

Pennsylvania. The Senate ought to
promptly table Mr. Morton's imperti
nence when it meets next Wednesday.

rpHE BRITISH BARK
If we haven’t, s says the Baltimore Ga
zette, an administration to be proud of,
and though third-termers and whisky
ringsters and other emissaries o f the evil
one harass us and make the future dark
and threatening at the centennial new
year’s dawn, we can still take hope from
the philosophy of Emerson that “Huge
animals nourish huge parasites, and the
rancor of the disease attests the strength
of the constitution. We prosper with
such vigor that, like thrifty trees
which grow in spite of ice, lice, mice and
borers, so we do not suffer from the
profligate swarms that fatten on the na
tional treasury. ”
We could find more consolation in Em
erson’s philosophy if we could realize
the fact that, despite the affliction of
Radical misrule and corruption in every
department of the government, the whis
ky nngsters, carpet-baggers and all ranks
and grades of thieves, we really were
prospering. But the trouble is we, down
South, can’t see it.
Imports and Exports.—The statement
of the Bureau of Statistics at Washing
ton for the eleven months ending No
vember 30, shows that the total imports
of merchandise at the ports of the United
States, with a few comparatively small
exceptions, have amounted to $471,087,-
838, a decrease of $54,175,184 ; total ex
ports of domestic products $502,732,099,
a decrease of nearly $50,000,000; foreign
exports .$11,214,299, a decrease of over
$.3,000,000. The imports of gold and sil
ver amounted to $21,406,862, an increase
of over $8,000,000 ,• exports of domestic
gold and silver $67,707,527, an increase
of abo 1 * $i4.oo r '.00° foreign gold and
aiivei $£8,j45,687, an increase oi* over

The Conkling faction in New York have
changed their tactics once more. They
started out with a plan for a pledged
delegation to the National Convention,
without mentioning any particular candi
date. That didn’t work at all as they had
hoped. Then they boldly demanded a
delegation pledged to him. This propo
sition received more opposition than the
first. Now they have dropped both and
are begging for a delegation favorable to
the Senator, without being pledged to
him. Their anxiety to have a Conkling
delegation of some sort gives weight to
the suspicion thit such a delegation would
be only a third term move in disguise.
Stealing to Escape Starvation.—A
case in a New York court last week ex
cited universal commiseration. George
Smith, a man of respectable appearance,
was accused of snatching a silk umbrella
from a lady’s hand in the street. He ad
mitted it, anfl said that he did it for the
purpose of being arrested and “sent up”
to save himself from starvation. The
Judge remanded him to the Tombs for
sentence. His petition to be sent to the
Island had previously been denied by
several magistrates.
Washington society is said to be ab
sorbed by the high rank and soenic dis
play of the Russian Minister’s establish
ment. The Minister and his wife go
about on visits of ceremony accompanied
by a chasseur, who wears a sword and a
cap with a long drooping white feather.
This chasseur sits on the box alongside
the coachman, and dismounts when the
carriage stops, and, with drawn sword
uplifted, assists Her Royal Highness
and His Royal Highness to alight, and
conducts them to the house, and then
stands military fashion until they appear.
The Cuban Question.—There is reason
to believe that the circular recently ad
dressed to the European Governments by
Secretary Fish, of the State Department,
in relation to Cuban affairs, embodied a
suggestion of intervention in the shape
of arbitration between tlje Spanish Gov
ernment and the Cuban insurgents, pro
vided an arbitration could be proposed
without implying a recognition of Cuban
beUigorency,but p" have been taken
by our government r-f ; var-like nature,
and none are contemplated.
arrested.
Haverhill, January 4.—Arthur P. Dev
lin, who has been lecturing as a Reformed
Catholic, and severely denouncing the
Catholic Church, has been arrested and
committed in default of bail on a charge of
blackmail. His speeches and denunciations
of Catholicism created quite an excitement
here.
A NEW INDIAN VICEROY.
London, January 4.—The India office con
firms the appointment of Lord Lytton, Vice
roy of India in place of Lord Northbrook.
Lord Northbrook retires because he does
not feel able to sustain the heavy labors of
the office during another summer. He will
be created an Earl.
THE CARLISTS.
Madrid, January 4.—The Council Minis
ters, under the presidency of the King,
finally settled a plan of campaign against
the Carlists.
El Tieinpo states that Gens. Campos
and Quesada will leave for the North imme

Albany, January 4.—The river front in
this city is entirely free from ice. The sud

fastened in above Steuyvesant.
SETTLED.
New York, January 4.—The Bowen libel
suit against the Eagle and Mr. McDermot
has been settled by agreement of counsel.
Carl Schurz writes an open letter to the
St. Louis We.stliche Post, in which he says
that “any suspicion of Grant’s participa
tion in the whisky frauds he holds to be
unfounded and unjust,” and adds: “Let
us cling to the belief and let us hope that
there never will be cause to change this
belief; that the fall of a President of the
American Republic to the actual mem
bership of a band of thieves, who liter
ally rob the people of their money, is
simply an impossibility.”

Jefferson Davis is unable, from previ
ous engagements, to address the Lee Be
nevolent Association of Mobile, but says
in his letter: “It is very gratifying to
me to know that those close ties and ten
der memories which are formed in times
of a common danger and a common
sacrifice are being preserved for the com
mon benefit of the survivors and the
honor of the dead.”
Everybody should be careful to give
prompt attention and rational treatment to
a severe cold, or & racking cough, as these
are commonly the chief primary symptoms
of a disordered state of the lungs,involving a
tendency to develop into a settled consump
tion. Persons of a delicate constitution, or
those having weak or unbound lungs, should
be especially solicitous to treat the earliest
symptoms of a cold, in order to head off
more dangerous complications; prudently
keep by you, therefore, Dr. Jayne’s Expec
torant, that you may administer at once a
judicious curative during the first stages of
any throat or lung disorder, for not only
are special symptoms of these comDlaints
more tractable and easily controlled then,
but the general strength and tone of the
system has not had time to be seriously
affected, and is therefore more amenable to
the recuperative and healing properties of
the Expectorant. A little attention to what
may seem a trifling cold, may save you from
the fate of a lingering consumptive.
