THE SENSATION
of the week liee been the bog as dispatch about the
President seeking advice of A. Honey Stanberry, rela
tive to ignoring Congress. It was one ot the most
glaring gold-gambling specnlative affairs ever con
ceived by a shrewd WalT&treet broker. It had its ef
fect, and somebody must have made “a pile." Had
such a thing occurred daring the latter part of the
war it would not have been half as successful, for Jt
is said to have been a common thing than for thfae
scamps who dabble in gold to forge the names of edi
tors, Associated Press agents, the name of the Seero
tary of War and others to bogus dispatches, ‘and en
deavor thereby to “bull'* or “bear" the market in
their favor. It Is, per haps, fortunate for its author
that military law is not in vogue, or he would have
some of the Government detectives after him with
Fort Lafayette in prospective.
THE BIO STOBM
reached us in its strength last evening and has con
tinued to-day. Awnings, weak chimneys, flag-poles,
and other loose material has been pretty well shaken.
Htages and cars are more crowded than ever. Mud
prevails, aud almost everybody has a sour-krout
look.
THE MUHDEREH*
of Otero were hung to-day in presence of an audience
of some five hundred people, who stood umbrella-
less in the rain to witness the avenging hand of jus
tice. It is said there were several ladies present, but
this is doubtful. The place where they were hung
was almost within sight of th^ spot where they cqm
mitted the shocking murder which they to-day ex
piated on the gallows. The principal is yet to be tried,
the man Viele, who instigated the horrible crime.
A MODEL BRIDGE
has been built up town, which probably has not its
1 counterpart in the world. It cost only twenty dollars
I per foot; is built of wood; is six hundred feet long;
| and the man wbo built it has received from the city
finances tw elve thousand dollars. The peculiarity of
this bridge is that it begins in the watej* and ends in
the water. It accommodates po ope, and is used by
no one but- river thieves. It was intended as the con'
tinuation' of 19Gth street, and is a quiet monument of
the scandalous manner in which this city is outrage
on sly swindled by pets of our municipal officials.
THE LOSS OF THE EVENING STAB
caused a thrill of horror throughout this community.
Your correspondent bas been prepared at any time
within the last two years to hear that this vessel or
her consort, the Morning Star, had gone to the bottom
with all on board. People who have voyaged upon
them have repeatedly told me that they were not
strong enough to breast the terrible gales which fre
quently sweep over the North Atlantic, and that they
would never again sail on them. The newer ships of
the line, the Guiding Star, and Rising Star, have the
credit, and probably correctly, of being much stronger
and better-constructed steamers, aud are doubtless as
safe as any of the vessels which ply along our coast.
Among the near tliree hundred lives which fell a sacri
fice to the disaster to the Evening Star, were those of
over ninety of the “unfortunates" of whom Hood
wrote so touchingly. Not “ one," but nearly an hun
dred of them “have gone to their death," and the
wipl Atlantic will for ages chant their requiem. Poor,
lost creatures, they have perished from off the face of
the earth; no rocord remains that they have ever,
lived, for their history was unknown save to them
selves, aud there are none to weep for them. Yet
most of them had jloubtlyss once been the cherished
inmates of happy homes, abandoned in the hour of
their shame for a life of humiliation and despair.
HOW BOBBEBIES ABF. COMMITTED.
Everybody knows" the difficulty experienced by
housewives in obtaining good servants. Somehow or
other, it has been quite generally ascertained that a
considerable portion of the female representatives of
the “finest pesantry in the world," who cook our din
ners, do our washing and ironing, and sweep and
scrub our houses, .are nothing more nor less than
sneak-thieves, or the private confederates in crime of
some one or more male geniuses of that description.
Yet it is 3 very difficult matter to prove, as for Siam-
pie: A lady friend of mine had, not long since, what
she suppo-ed to be a treasure in the servant girl line,
and would have repelled with indignation any suspi
cions as to the'character of her “help." But after a
while the girl became impudent, and she was dis
charged. Not many days had elapsed ere the house
was robbed. The property taken was of such a na
ture, and w as obtained in such portions of the house
as to occasion the belief that the discharged servant
had aoihething to do with the theft Still, there waa
no proof, and how to get it was a puzzle. Without any
confidence in the witcheries of clairvoyants, the lady
paid a visit to one, and before she had time to explain
her errand was told of it hefself by the medium, and
not only that, but wus furnished with an accurate de
scription of the very girl who had been sent adrift for
impudence. To test the information given by the
Clairvoyant, a detective was put upon the truck of the
girl, and after some Weeks ipent in the search, found
that she Lad procured another situation, that the lady
of the house had also been robbed, aud that the thief
had flown with her ill-gotten gains, leaving no trace
of her whereabouts. 8be doubtless had a male con*
federate, who, in the guise of a “cousin*' (all Bridgeta
have cousin*) visited the house, and between them the
robbery was planned. Moral—kind reader. If your
servant girl has a beau, don’t let him visit your
house, for it is ten chances to one he is trying to rob
you.

of President Johnson. The constitution ef the “Al

The delegation of Southern loyalists visited the
tomb of Lincoln at Springfield l*rt week, escorted by
a very large procession. Within the cemetery, a short
distance from the entrance, and on the left of the road,
was stretched a large placard, on which was inscribed
the following words : “The murdered President—can
a political party prosper under Gud. the fruits cf
whose counsels ripene t in this deed ? Peace Demo
crat this is your only contribution to tin history of
an age otherwise unparalleled in glory!** A few yards
farther on the right, was another with the words : “In
memortam. Let ns this day resolve that the dead
■hall not have died in vain; that the nation shall, un
der God, have a new birth of freedom, and' that a
government by the people and for the people shall no 1
perish from the earth 1“ The scene at the tomb is
thus described in a special dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune :
“The decorations were plain, but touching and aug-
i festive. Extending over the top of the tomb, and
! longing gracefully over the door, were festooiyB ot
leaves, of oak and maple, brilliant with the colors o*
autumn, and large wreaths of flowers with crosses of
immortelles and dahlias 4ung over the door. On each
aide of the tomb were 1mgo rustic vases filled with
beautiful flowers. Immediately over the door was In
scribed the words, * Abraham Lincoln; let his name
be spoken but in reverence, for, although he is dead,
hia great deeds live after him, and the lowly shall not
hope in vain.'
“The procession, with the flag at its head, marched
slowly np the ascent and lurmed in double lines near
the door, leaving a space in the centre where, near the
door of the tomb, stood Colonel 0. T. Branscombe, of
Missouri, and Rev. Dr. Newman, of New Orleans. A
feeling of the deepest solemnity seemed to pervade
the vest assemblage, and many eyes unused to weep
were filled with tears, although no word had yet been
spoken.
•* Colonel Branscombo then slowly read the following
oath of coneecration:
Standing at the tomb of the Illustrious dead, recall
ing his sublime words, his heroic virtue, his unswerv
ing fidelity to the great trusts committed to him by
the American people, we here make a new consecra
tion of oar lives, our fortunes and our country, aud,
with uncovered heads and uplifted bands, solemn.y
resolve, with the help of Almighty God, that wo will
never surrender the contest with despotio power un
till the fell apirit of rebellion shall be utterly crushed,
until the right of free speech shall be maintained on
every inch of American soil, and all men arc estab
lished in the foil possession of those inalienable rights
wick God has given, and to secure and protect wliiicb
is the object of all good govern m nts.
At the words, “with uncovered heads and uplifted
hands." the loyalists removed their hats and raised
their right hands. The entire audience then kneeled,
and Dr, Newman gave utterance to an impressive
prayer, after which the assemblage silently dispersed.
How tbs Radical* Propose to Dispose® of
Mr, Davis,
No intelligent man can shat his eyes to the fact that
occurrences are transpiring all around us, and daily
and hourly, which evidence a growing disregard for
the forms of decency and law, and for the princi
ples of honor, truth and justice. When men’s baser
passions were unloosed during the struggle their bit
ter instincts were, in too many cases, swept away ab
solutely and forever. Individuals now utter witlioui
shame, and the public hears without indignation,
propositions aud doctrines and falsehoods that a few
years since would have aroused aud shocked the
heart of tl)* country. Recreant to its first and noblest
duty, the Northern press led the way in the disgrace
ful path which multitudes have been pursuing, and a
large portion of it is to-day guiding and urging the
Radical party to follow still iu the road that leads to
destruction. No barriers interposed by the laws aud
the Constitution have thusfar been permitted to siand
between that party and the object of its desires, and
it apparently does not intend to be bound by any
legal restriction until its vengeance and its greed are
fully satiated, We could illnatratfc^tbese views by a
hundred examples, but content ourselves for the
present with referring to one only. A correspondent
of the Boeton Daily Advertiser, in an article protost
ing against sending Mr. Davis before £ court and jury
for trial, says:
“To my mind the sovereign and victorious majority
of the people of these United States. arc superior to
the courts they have created to serve the ordinary ad
ministration of justice. I can, therefore, see no dig
nity nor sense in having Jeff. Davis fried by a court,
when the people themselves, in a four years' session
of overwhelming majesty, have already tried him and
unanimously found him guilty. In the very act cf
resisting him by force and arms they judged hiui a
traitor, deserving depth. To try him now iu a peace
court is to admit a doubt of their own rectitude iu the
war. The ouly queatiou which uational setf-redpect
appears to me to admit is, what shall be done with the
traitor’s forfeited life ? Shall it be cut off lgnomiu-
iously, or allowed to reach its natural term in disfran
chisement and disgrace ?"
The author of the above thus coolly proposes that
the Government of this country shall simplify Ml
questions concerning Mr. Davis by resorting to mob
law. It is assumed that the people want Mr. Davis
lulled or banished, and that ho has no rights, and
thereiore he may be put out of the way summarily or
dealt with in inch manner as may be deemed ex
pedient. It is a business that is to be determined
according to tlie precepts of some divine higher law,
snd human courts and governments ought to be lor
the time being ignored. Such is the enbatauce of the
proportion mbniiuad to Uie highly rtiocuti-d, iitelii-
gent and pious citizens of Boston. There wax a turn-
when every decent journal iu the country would liuve
scoutsd with contempt tad loathiug such struciouu
end Infamous suggestions. There wo* a day when no
ordinsrily sue and honest men cou-d have been found
wbo would here entertained or uttered tbi nn But
now that ere treated as being worthy of great consid
eration, and as being, in the language of the New York
Times, “not without force." That journal, now one
of the leading journals of the country, not only re
produces the infernal paragraph we have quoted, but
appaud* to it aoma viowa of its own that are scarcely
less outrageous tad disgraceful. The Times savs:
"But it is perfectly fair to look totbe probable re
sult tad effect of a trial before deciding upon sub
jecting him to that process. If he could be arraigned
on charge of treason, convicted by a Jury, under the
charge of a dignified court, and sentenced to tlie pnu-
lshmeut prescribed by law, something would doubt
less have been done to vindicate the law by jodicirt
process, and to -make treason odious.- The principle
would also be judicially established that an attempt (o
eeceue from the Onion, supported by arms, is treason,
and thus the right of accession claimed by tbo South
ern States would be Judicially urefUinrwn.
-On the other baud, it must be born, in mind that
bis conviction befbre a jury cannot be deemed-
absolute y certain—and the cbancea of failure, and tlie
effect of bdlure both damaud consideration."
We are here given to understand that It la a per
fectly fair tad legal thing before we try Hr. Davis ou
the charge preferred against him, to consider tlie
probable result or teat proceeding. IT it is at all cer
tain that ha will be convicted, then by all mows iet
Kim be tried, bat if there be. any chance of hia ac
quittal than it were better to hang him out of baml.
He has no rights,"ahd tbit it a peculiar case, which
the law and the gospel in no way touch. Perhaps it
la better than to fall back on the dootriac propounded
by the Boston sage, for as the Times observe*:
-* It is not easy to tea how tha decision of the tribu
nal which, after foar years' trial by war, has delivered
its augqit verdict on the attempt of tha South to se
cede, and enforced it upon all concerned, can be made
more impressive or imposing by the confirming ver
dict of a jury. But It is very easy to see that some
thin* msy be donh to detract from its solemnity by
such an adverse result as is certainly within the limits
of possibility."
A court might hang Ur. Davis, but then again it
might not, and it is safer, therefore, to aceept "the
decision of tha tribunal which, after four years' trial
of war, has delivered its august vet4iet.-’ That
tribunal la tha "sovereign and victorious majority of
the people" according to the Pundit we have first re
ferred to, and wp all know that "the voice of the pe<W
pie la the Voice at Sod." Jt waa evtp so, we suppose,

present and prospective glut of paper money
in the commercial centres. The price will,
