TAPPING THIS WlUtS.
The Potter Committee yesterday exam
ined J. H. Birch, one of the Presidential
electors in Louisiana. He stated that he
signed the second set of certificates, having
been advised that there was informality in
the first set. Witness Kelly was recalled
and after much pressure, stated he knew
positively that one name was forged to the
second set of certificates, but was not quite
so sure that Levissee’s name was likewise
forged.
In the Senate yesterday Mr. Anthony sub
mitted a resolution providing that at one
o’clock on Friday the Senate will conside
bills on the calendar not objected to, to be
discussed under the five minutes rule. Mr.
Butler, of South Carolina, submitted t
solution directing the Secretary of the In
tenor to inquire into and report to the
Senate what raiiroad company, individual
or individuals, are building a line acros
the territory of Arizona, and by what
authority they are so doing. Mr. Davis, of
West Virginia, spoke at length upon a rest
lution offered by him to promote the agr
cultural interests of the country.
Bismarck's bill to discipline the member!
of the Reichstag creates very considerable
opposition among the German Liberal press
Greater opposition, however, is manifested
abroad than in Germany. It is thought that
Bismarck will gain his point, and the mea.
lire will pass with no material amendment
The House.Appropriation Committeehav
recommended that the salary due tb
’ late Hon. Mr. Hart ridge for the remainder
of his term be paid to his widow.
Advices from Central and South Americ
state that the threatened revolution in
Panama lias been settled by the peaceful
retirement from the Presidency of General
Correoso. Honduras is said to be preparin
for war. A new line of steamers is to b
established between New Orleans and cer
tain Honduras ports.
The boot and shoe house of Jenkins, Lane
& Co., Boston, is embarrassed. They clair
that they have suffered heavily from losses in
the Nouth.
A reprieve was granted the Pcnnsylvani;
murderers, Sharpe and McDonnell, hung
yesterday, but it arrived by telegraph one
minute too late.
The reason why the reprieve granted by
the Governor of Pennsylvania to the mur
derers McDonnell and Sharpe did not reach
them in time to prevent their execution, i
said to be because the Governor did not
reach his office untii a quarter before ten
and did not decide to grant the repriev<
until 10:20. A dispatch to that effect was
written out at 10:3oand sent at 10:30. but, as
before stated, it arrived too late. A scene
of the greatest excitement ensued at the
gallows when it was ascertained that the
reprieve had been issued.
Several additional disasters to shippin
and obstructions to navigation on account
of ice and the late severe storms are re
ported.
The theory that the late explosion of the
thirty-eight ton gun on the British ship Thun
derer was caused by a depression of the
gun in loading, whereby the bail slipped,
leaving a space of nearly six inches between
the ball and the cartridge, is confirmed.
A violent explosion took place in the
Dinas colliery, Rhondda Valley, Wales
Monday night. Sixty persons are reported
killed, and great excitement prevails.
The Virginia Assembly has authorized the
Governor to extend the time for the State
conference with her creditors ten days after
the 22d inst. if necessary.
It is officially reported that there have
been two hundred and ninety-two cases of
plague in the village of Wettliaska, gov
ernment of Astrachan, and that two hun
dred and forty-six have proved fatal.
The Teller Committee examined several
witnesses yesterday, and elicited some very
satisfactory bloody shirt testimony from
Deputy United States Marshal and others.
The Potter Committee upon reassembling
examined at some length the witness Kelly,
who testified regarding the forgery of the
names of Joffrion and Levissee to the Hayes
electoral certificates.
Congressman Potter says he has been
unable to offer a resolution in the House
asking for authority for his committee to
examine into the famous cipher dispatches.
He will offer such a resolution on Monday
next, the only day on which he can do so
without obtaining unanimous consent and
he understands that Butler and others will
object.
A Berlin dispatch states that up to the
end of last year the total number of in
junctions issued against the German press
and clubs under the workings of the anti
Socialist law were four hundred and seventy-
five. Sixty-two persons were expelled the
empire in the same time under the same
law.
Arrest of an Army Officer.—The
New York Timex states that Captain
Thomas Blair, the officer of the Fif
teenth United States Infantry who mar
ried the widow of General Gordon Gran
ger several months ago, was arrested in
that city Thursday evening, at the in
stance of the War Department, and is
now held a prisoner on Governor's
Island, to await further orders from
Washington. The Timex says but little
is known as to the nature of the charges,
but it is supposed that the forgery of
official signatures to a paper purporting
to be his discharge from the service will
be the leading charge. It is alleged by
the American Consul at Glasgow that
Captain Blair, whose real name is
Nichols, has a wife and children in Scot
land.
The Chinese Minister at Washington
has been in no hurry to discuss Mon
golian immigration with Secretary Evarts
and the President, who have been wait
ing for bim to show some sign of inter
est in the subject. The Cabinet talked
the matter over the other day, and came
to the conclusion, as it was necessary for
the Republican party to carry California,
that a Republican movement to restrict
Chinese immigration should be com
menced soon, which will be supported
by the administration. It is believed
that the Republican vote in California
will be very greatly increased by the
Chinese dodge.
Senator-elect Pendleton’s recent speech
at Cota mbits, Ohio, will, in connection
with Senator Thurman's letter on
“Jacksonian Democracy/' it is said,
furnish the keynote for the Ohio Demo
cratic campaien. Both gentlemen re
ferred to anu sharply criticized the
national banking system. Mr. Pendle
ton’s arguments against it were that the
system is of doubtful constitutionality
and expensive to the people; that it con
fers privileges on a business and a class:
that it has become a great political in
strumentality, controlling elections and
demoralizing politics. The greenback
currency, he said, was better and cheaper,
it avoids political complications, and pays
iebts and taxes.
The Garrard Bonds Again.
Since the passage by the Legislature
of the act authorizing the issue of the
Garrard 4 per cent bonds by the State,
a great many inquiries have been started
as to whether such issue can be success
fully carried out. It has been promi
nently objected that since the bonds are
proposed to circulate as currency, their
issue will be in violation of that clause
in the United States Constitution which
prohibits any State from coining money,
or making anything but gold and silver
legal tender.
This objection, as we have already
noted, is very far fetched, and is with
out the slightest foundation. The pro
posed bonds are not coined money.
They are not made legal tender for the
payment of debts; nor, indeed, are they
strictly speaking, money at a)!. They
are regular coupon bonds of Georgia,
bearing 4 per cent, interest, and will be
issued both to afford safe investments
and to enable the interest on the
State debt to the extent to which
they are to be put forth—$300,000—to
be very materially reduced. It is true
it is anticipated that their convenient size
will enable them to circulate as money
and thus tend to relieve financial strin
gency, but there is nothing in the law
authorizing them, to make them a circn
lating medium, and if they become such
it will only be through private transac
tions between individuals.
We notice, however, that another difE
culty has been raised to the feasibility
of the general circulation of these bond;
This is that national banks cannot secure
and pay them out without incurring
liability of ten per cent, tax to the gov
•eminent. This objection is as untenable
as the one above mentioned.
Section 2412 of the United States Re
vised Statutes, in regard to the issue of
national banks, states that “every na
tional banking association, State bank
or Stale banking association, shall pay
tax of ten per centum on the amount of
notes of any person or of any State bank
or State banking association used for
circulation and paid out by themand
in section 2413 it is farther provided
that “every national banking associa
tion, State bank or banker, shall pay
ten per centum on the amount of notes
of any town, city or municipal corpora
tion paid out by them. ”
Now, it is very clear that neither of
these sections dan be construed to appiy
to the circulation of these bonds through
national banks. They are not the notes
of any person, corporation, municipality,
State bank or banking association, pub
lic or private. They are simply lawful
State bonds, and no reference is made to
taxing the banks for paying out any
such bonds in the sections of the Revised
Statutes above quoted. As a contempo
rary truly remarks on this subject, “to
prevent a national bank receiving and
paying out State issues will require fur
ther legislation, and we opine that with
Democratic Congress Secretary Sher
man will find it somewhat difficult to
obtain legislation which will further re
strict tiie State for the purpose of increas
ing the national bank monopoly.”
Railroads axd W eatiier Reports.
According to the St. Louis Gbbe Demo
crat, the Chicago and Northwestern Rail
road Company has been able to initiate a
very important movement, which is like
ly to be imitated by other railroads in re
gions where severity of the weather
must needs affect traffic. This is in ob
taining from the Signal Bureau at Wash
ingjon the privilege cf having telegraph
ed to every station of the companjjthe
midnight weather report and “indica
tions.” These weather notes are “wired”
to each station, “manifolded'' and posted
up so that every one can see them. They
will serve as warnings to the employes
of the line, enable them to prepare them
selves and guard the company's property
;ainst sudden meteorological changes,
to anticipate severe storm3, cold weather,
etc. They will equally benefit shippers,
especially of live stock, poultry and per
ishable articles generally, and will serve
as the entering wedge for the much de
siderated general diffusion of weather
probabilities through the agricultural
sections. A man Who has a field of grass
ready for the mover will soon learn the
profit of riding a few miles to the next
railroad station to find out what sort of
weather to-morrow will be likely to give
bim; and so with him who has grain to
thresh or to sow, or pigs to kill.
Sens Against States.—The Wash
ington correspodent of the Baltimore
Sun says : “In consequence of the dis
honest action of certain States in refus
ing to meet their lawfully incurred obli
gations, there is considerable talk here
among members of Congress of bring
ing in such an amendment to the Con
stitution as will permit States to be sued.
It is well knowu that the provision pro-
hibiting'the suing of States was adopted
as an amendment to the Constitution to
put a stop to suits brought in consc
quence of acts done during the revolu
tion, and which were becoming very
embarrassing. But the public scandal
and disgrace brought upon American
credit of late very naturally prompts
the inquiry whether the removal of this
constitutional prohibition is not de
manded by common honesty and de
cency.”
It is greatly to be deplored that some
States of the Union are unwilling or un
able to meet their obligations, but we
ery much doubt the right or propriety
of the proposed change of the Constitu
tion, or of Federal legislation on the sub
ject. When the Federal Government
takes the financial affairs of the States
under its control, it might as well wipe
out the boundary lines of the States.
Tiie Saccharine Scare.—A Wash
ington special says; “A dozen or more
of petitions from different parts of the
country were presented in the House of
Representatives on Saturday asking Con
gress to pass a law to prevent the adul
teration of sweets. These are under
tood to be the forerunners*'if petitions
for legislation to prevent adulterations
generally, over which a panic appears to
be springing up. The ‘disclosures' as to
adulterations have been so dreadful of
late that timid people think they see the
shadow of death in everything they eat
or drink. There is a feeling among
members of Congress that eventually
legislation may become necessary on this
subject, although the strong probability
that there is more or less of exaggera
tion in regard to the extent of it.”
The Election to Fill Mr. Hartridge's
Unexpired. Term.
We learn that the point has been raised
in regard to the election ordered by the
Governor to fill the vacancy in the Forty-
fifth Congress caused by the death of
the late lamented Mr. partridge, that,
on account of the shortness of the time
which his successor would have to serve,
it would have been better for the Execu
tive of Georgia not to have issued h : s
proclamation at all, and by thus quietly
ignoring the matter save the expense at
tending such election.
Those raising this objection have evi
dently not studied and are not familiar
with the provisions of the United States
Constitution bearing on this subject. In
paragraph 4 section 1. article 1. of that
instrument is to be found the following
explicit language. “When vacancies
happen in the representation from any
State, the Executive authority thereof
shall issue writs of election to fill such
vacancies.”
Here then in the organic law of the
land the Governor's duty is made man
datory. No discretion is left to the Ex
ecutive of any State in the premises, and
no exception is made on account of
the shortness of the term of ser
vice of the one elected to fill such
vacancy. If it be possible for an elec
tion to be held, it must be held, and the
Governor of any State in which a va
cancy occurs must issue his writ of elec-
ton. Therefore, had Governor Colquitt
failed to issue his election proclamation
on this occasion, he would have directly
violated a plain provision of the highest
law known to our government.
The provision of the Constitution
making it the duty of the Executive im
perative in such cases is wise and proper,
for if a Governor were free to exercise his
discretion as to filling a vacancy of only
a few weeks, he might also neglect or
refuse to order an election to fill a va
cancy even though it occurred in the first
month of a session of Congrees.

FROM WASHINGTON
The Tobacco Tax Question.
Special Telegram to the Morning Netc*.
Washington, January 14.—The Senate
Committee on Finance will very likely com
promise on the tobacco tax question, and
recommend a reduction to twenty cents.
The friends of reduction say that when the
subject comes before the Senate, a further
reduction to sixteen cents will be had
accordance with the bill a J read}’ passed by
the House.

remainder of his salary as a member of the
Forty-fifth Congress.
MIDNIGHT TELEGRAMS
Bismarck's Reactionary Policy.
Prince Bismarck, having consolidated
the German Empire by means of his
favorite specific of “Blood and Iron,"
conjoined with a judicious compliance
with the wishes of the National Liberal
party, seems now disposed to return to
his first love. He began his political
career as a vehement opponent of liberal
reforms, ot parliamentary government,
and was the founder of tiie Junker party
which longed for a return to the old
feudal regime. His present course
shows that his connection with the libe
rals was but a stooping to conquer. He
now proposes to invade the privileges
and in effect destroy the independence
of Parliament by putting it in the
power of a committee of the majority of
the members of the Reichstag to punish,
to expel, and te render ineligible for
re-election any member whom the com
mittee may pronounce to have been
guilty of “improper utterances.” Re
marking on this new encroachment upon
the liberties of the German people, the
Baltimore Sun says; “Liberty has been
bought at too high a price iu Germany,
and freedom of speech is too precious a
property for even Bismarck, with all his
power, to be able to deprive the German
people of them. It is safe to assume that
the German Reichstag will never consent
to set up a star chamber over itself, no
matter how ardently the mighty Chan
cellor may desire it.”
The New York Bulletin, alluding to
the same subject, says: “There seems to
be no limit to the despotic assumptions
of Prince Bismarck; and it really seems
to be; a question whether the statesman's
intolerance of temper is not running into
some form of insanity. His now pro
posed restrictions upon freedom of de
bate and the liberty of the press is such
an outrage upon the spirit of modern
freedom that, if the German people
should tolerate its enforcement, it can
only be because they inherit much less
manliness of character than their history
has credited them with.”
PROCEEDINGS OF THE TELLER
AND POTTER COMMITTEES.
Various Important Measures Pend
ing Before Congress.
A suit by the city against the St. Louis
Gaslight Company involving a large
amount has been for some time pending
in the Missouri courts. The Gaslight
Company now proposes to release the
city from all unpaid claims for gas,
amounting to about $820,000, sell gas to
consumers at $2 23 per thousand, with
the usual discount for prompt payment
of hills, pay t^e cost of the suit and
counsel fees, and release the city from
all damages because of said suit, the
city to secure a decree of the Supreme
Court, where the suit is now pending, re
versing the decree of the Circuit Court,
and turn over to the Gaslight Company
all the works, records and property of
all kinds now held by the city, and exe
cute a full discharge of all claims of the
city against the Gaslight Company to date
on account of said litigation.

The message of (jov. Robinson of New
York, sharply criticises the cost and
utility of the new capitol; condemns
the Binghampton Inebriate Asylum as
a hotel for entertainment of wealthy
inebriates;” argues against further taxa
tion for high schools and free colleges;
recommends the formation of sinking
funds in 4II towns: adopts Lord Duf-
ferin’s project for an intern itional park
at Niagara Falls; calls for the abolition
of Insurance Agent Smyth and his cor
rupt bureau; boldly throws the gage to
the large Republican majority in the
Legislature on the subject of Federal
interferences with .elections ; begs for “a
clear, systematic and complete statute
on excise,” and concludes with a brief
Jacksonian essay on hard money and the
labor problem.
Tiie Illinois Sexatorship.—A mem
ber of the Hlinois Legislature, who ar
rived in Washington on Saturday, says
the Senatorial contest in that State is
now at white heat. General Logan, he
says, seems to be the strongest candidate,
although he does not consider his elec
tion at all certain. He says that Logan
has been considerably damaged by state
ments which have been published, with
responsible signatures attached, to the
effect that during the Senatorial contest
two years ago, when Judge Davis was
elected, money was expended among
members of the Legislature, furnished
by Col. Tom Scott, to influence votes
for Logon.
The “cipher dispatches” are to be in
vestigated by the Potter Committee, and
the day of the New York Tribune's
tribulation is consequently near at hand.
It will be asked to makegood its intima
tions of holding a reserve of unpublished
ciphers;” its failure to publish any dis
patches relative to the Louisiana election
will be inquired into; its failure to bring
forth any Republican “ciphers” will be
investigated; and the accuracy of its pre
tended “key” to the “ciphers” will
doubtless be impeached. In brief, says
the Bridgeport Fanner, the investigation
will put the Tribune, instead of Presi
dent-elect Tilden, on the defence.

The Congressional Vacant j.
Editor Morning Ncirs: Permit me fully
to indorse the communication in Tues

Col. Thompson's worthy character,
judicious mind, and great labor for the
good of his section, all appeal in loud
terms to the people of the district for
this handsome compliment Let there
be no opposition to him, and then, in
deed, he will feel it as a compliment.
Yours, Not a Politician.
A Good Showing.—Indiana has a
school fund amounting to $9,000,000,
and the school property of the State is
valued at $12,000,000, and the State
spends $4,000,000 a year for public school
instruction.
THE PENNSYLVANIA DOUBLE EXECUTION
SCENE OF GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Harrisburg, January 14.—The Governor,
who returned from W ashington early this
morning, finally agreed to extend the time
for the execution of Sharpe and McDonnell
to the 20th inst., but the news of the execu
tion in answer to his telegraphic reprieve, of
course put an end to all further efforts to
save the men. No hopes were enter
tained for a final pardon, and the
Governor would only grant a reprieve!
for a few days. The Governor
dhi not reach his office until a quarter be
fore ten. After hearing the Attorney’s
plea for a respite, he decided about 10:30 to
graut it. A telegram was then written and
tiled in the telegraph office at 10:35, and
sent at 10:36. No further reason for the
delay in issuing the respite is given, but the
fact that the Governor did not reach his
office until the time above indicated, show
that very little time was lost after hearing
the reasons for a request for the reprieve.
Mauch Chunk, January 14.—When the
Governor’s reprieve arrived at the jail this
morning a scene of intense excitement oc
curred, but, although the culprits had only
been hanging a few minutes, there was no
movement made toward cutting them down.
The telegraph messenger reached the jail
door before the drop fell, but no heed was
taken of his knocking and ringing, the wife
of one of the culprits having previously been
extremely violent outside. When the drop
fell the knocking and ringing continued,
and the Sheriff sent out a man to arrest the
parties, whom he imagined to Oe creating a
disturbance. It was then found to be the
telegraph messenger with the reprieve. A
brother of McDonnell, who had been kneel
ing by the scaffold, arose and excitedly
charged the Sheriff and bystanders with the
murder of his brother. The excitement
spread, and the Sheriff appealed to one of the
priests, who exonerated him from all blame.
Amidst this excitement, the reproaches of
the!maddened brother of McDonnell, and the
wailing of the bereaved families of the cul
prits outside, seem to have been forgotten,
and they remained hanging for thirty min
utes after the drop fell. There is no reasona
ble doubt, however, that they were both
dead when the reprieve came. After the
bodies were cut down they were placed in
coffins and given to their families, whose
cries could be beard for several blocks, add
ing greatly to the prevailing excitement.
THE POTTER COMMITTEE—AFTERNOON SES
SION.
Washington, January 14.—Upon reas
sembling, Jthe examination of Kelly was
continued. In reply to the inquiry of Mr.
Cox as to how he came to write a letter to
the chairman of the committee, witness said
at the time Hayes was elected the Re
publicans of Louisiana thought he had not
treated them as he should, considering the
circumstances under which he was elected,
and witness therefore thought he would re
turn the compliment, and for this reason
wrote the letter. He disclaimed personal
pique in the matter or disappointment be
cause be was not successful in obtaining
office. The witness testified that Blanchford
forged the signatures to the election certifi
cates. Witness declined to write 1 he name of
Joffricn as he was requested to byButler,
but consented tb write his own signature,
which he did in two different styles. In
answer to the question why he made a dif
ference in his signature, he said it suited
his pleasure. Witness further said that
when he saw the forgery of the names to
the electoral certificates he did not think it
a matter of importance to be talked about.
General Butler next referred witness to the
sentence iu his letter to Potter, iu which he
said: ‘‘If I could see the electoral certifi
cates I could 6bow the forgery of the name
of Joffrion as well as that of Levissee. I
have made marks on them to prove this
beyond a doubt, and to show you the men
who did it.*’
Butler exhibited the certificates, and
asked him to point out the marks of which
he spoke of in his letter. Witness replied
that the difference was in the handwriting
aud make up. These were the marks; he
designated no others.
VARIOUS BILLS—THE CHARGES AGAINST
ROBESON—THOSE CIPHER DISPATCHES.
Washington, January 14.—The Ways
and Means Committee to-day agreed to re
port favorably the bill making United States
notes receivable for duties on imports, the
bill authorizing the Secretary of the Trea
sury to exchange four per cent, bonds for
six per cents, at the pleasure of the holders
thereof, aud a bill providing for a remit
tance of taxes upon insolvent saviugs
banks.
It will be determined Frida?, by a ma
jority of the House Committee on Naval
Affairs whether the report heretofore drawn
up and signed by the Democratic mem
bers of the committee sustaiuiDg the charges
preferred against ex-Secretary Robeson shall
be submitted to the House.or whether since
hearing additional testimony in Robeson's
behalf it is admissable. A modified report
will be framed. The committee expect to
hear Robeson’s personal defense during the
week.
Mr. Potter says he could not, yesterday,
introduce his resolution in the House ask
ing for authority to examine the cipher dis
patches and for an appropriation to pay the
expenses attending the proceedings, because
of the funeral of Mr. Schleicher; uor can he
offer the resolution until next Monday, as
on any other day unanimous consent is re
quired* and this cannot be obtained, as be
understands that Butler and others will ob
ject. Re will therefore offer the resolution
next Monday for adaption under a suspen
sion of the rules.
EFFECT OF THE ICE ON NAVIGATION.
Norfolk, January 14.—Several steamers
engaged in the North Carolina trade arrived
here to-day, after having been delayed at
various points for ten or eleven days by ice.
The Captain of the steamer A. Y. Stout re-
iorts that moving ice has swept all the
•uoys out of Croaton sound. 1116 light
house was deserted, its boats having been
swept away. No light has been seen for
several nights. Considerable ice is re
ported in the bay, about the Craighill chan
nel, making it dangerous for small craft.
The ship Tunis, which went ashore at Cape
Henry, having teen surveyed and had her

THE TELLER COMMITTEE.
New Orleans, January 14.—The Teller
Committee to-day examined Edwin Craig
head, of the Time*, and Nimes T. Gordy,
Sheriff of St. Mary s parish, regarding the
attack upon Newman and the destruction
of the election returns. The testimony was
circumstantial, and proves the object of the
destruction of the returns was to render the
appointing power of the Governor a neces
sary.
K S. Schafer, of St. Joseph, was recalled
and testified to the killing of an Irish la
borer by negro constables, and the lynching
of a coustable by a band of armed whites.
Jaspey D. Cult, of Point Coupee, a mem
ber of the Legislature, testified to having
heard that negroes were whipped by whites.
Chas. DeCenig, of Caddo, Deputy Mar
shal, saw eight dead negroes at Caiedonia
the day after the election. He understood
they w ere killed on election day.
EFFECT OF THE GERMAN ANTI-SOCIALIST
LAW'—THE RINDERPEST.
London, January 14.—The Tunes' Berlin
dispatch says: “Up to the end of last year
the total number of injunction* issued in
accordance with the anti-socialist law was
475, which were applied to 18D clubs and so
cieties, and 58 periodical and 210 non-peri
odical publications. The number of per
60ns expelled from the Empire under the
same law amounts to62.'’ The Times states
that several places iu Prussia are still infest
ed with the rinderpest.

AN ORIGINAL NOVEL.
"AS IT MAY HAPPEN,”
A STORY OF
American Life and Character.
12mo. Extra Cloth. $1 50.
The Washingtou Republican has been
accustomed to lecture on the proprieties
and amenities of journalism. What its
idea is of the aforesaid proprieties and
amenities may be seen from the fact that
it recently reproduced with great gusto
a remark from a stalwart Republican
contemporary to the effect that Wade
Hampton had never been in thorough
accord with the decent people of the
United States but once, and that was
when, during his recent illness, he said
he was willing to die. If such indecent
flings as this are the effects of the
higher civilization” of the North, we
think barbarism could excel it. For
even barbarism respects virtue, worth
and courage.—Mobile Register.
T HE following are brief extracts from letters
of Critics who have read advance copie j
of “As It May Happen.’
Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie says:
“It is a story truly original in design and sue
cessful in execution. The dialogue is natural
all through. There is infinite variety of action,
some humor, and a great deal of mystery. The
author displays great power and skill in con
structing and teiling a story, the interest of
which never flags.”
A Prominent Man writes:
“Nothing has interested me so much for
many a long day as this story. It is admirably
written, and is entirely original in its plot and
development. Its humor, especially in i r s por
trayal of Irish character, is simply inimitable,
id its pathos is most natural and effective.”
Opinion o a Distinguished Clergyman:
“It will excite unusual interest, and find a
rare degree of favor with all lovers of pure fic
tion. It is decide <ly a ‘wholesome - story. Its
wonderful interest depends on nothing ques
tionable in matter or method."
From a Brilliant Literateur:
“I pronounce it the best American novel that
has appeared for years. Most of its charac
ters are strikingly original. "
