THK DISCOUNT ON CITY TAX.
It strikes cs that the City CoaDcil did a
good thing when they offered a discount of
five per cent, to all who wonld pay their city
taxes in fall before the 1st of August
As a d’rect practical result of this, the tax
collector, Mr. Anderson (and quite a good
one he is, too), has already collected $73,000
of the taxes.
This is about $12,000 more thau the collecor
last year collected during bis whole term of
office, he taking in only about $60,000, and
the city marshal collecting the balance on
fi-fas. This was not the fault of the officers,
but the fault of the system.
The discount has cost the city about $3,000,
bat toe treasurer has money in hand to meet
all claims, and to protect the credit of the
city.
To have borrowed the $73,000 for the two
months it would otherwise have taken to col
lect it, would have cost at least as much.
It is simply a question of allowing the dis
count to the body of prompt tax-payers, or
paying it in *be form of inttrest and commis
sion to a few* money lenders.

The session of the investigating committee
Ibis afternoon was strictly private like all of
the former meetings.
District Attorney Winslow, in reply to
anxious inquiries by members of the press re
garding Moulton’s statement, said it was im
possible to obtain any developments at the
present time, but in a little while they should
know all.
Tilton and Butler have been at Moulton’s
house to-day, but their doings are a mystery.
It has been stated that Butler is here in
connection with the Jayne Custom House suit,
in which $200,000 are involved,and in which
Moulton, being a member of the firm of Wood
ruff Kobiusou, A Co., is also involved. The
Jvojle publishes a letter from O. H. Beecher,
in which be explains the circumstances con
nected with Mrs. Hooker n alleged threats of
[exposure. She was laboring under violent
mental excitement at the time, and threatened
to invade his pulpit. She did not pretend to

Gen. Beu Butler, Thos. Kinseller and B
Tracy, cnlled on Moulton this morning, what
for no ene knows. Beecher is in the city at
his hom*'. Tracy says that he will not cross
«-xamine Monltou. as his statement is a
sheet ot lies. Sherman says Beecher’s state-
of Woodhnll, Stanton and Anthony. She
desired that Beecher should place himeelf at
the head of the new womens' movement, and
she aud others would uphold him. Beecher
talked the matter over with her and soothed
her considerably. He made no denial of the
charges for the reason that it would have in
volved an explanation of matteis which he
did not wish to confide to her.
The statement to be presented by Moulton
this evening will most probably be read in all
the morning papers, provided Moulton, Til
ton and Beecher are agreable.

criminal suit against Beecher, states that he

CHARLEY ROSS.
THE ALLEGED KIDNAPPER ARRESTED IN VERMONT.
Troy, N. Y., Aug. 10.—A special to the
Times, from Bernicglon, Vt., announces the
arrest of a woman named Flynn, who has a
child answering to the description of Charlie
Ross, the kidnapped boy. She tells contra
dictory stories.
SEOOND DISPATCH.
Bennington, Vt., August 10.—Mrs. Fred
Hamilton, formerly Mary Flynn, of Benning
ton, has been arrested with a child iu her
possession corresponding to description given
of Charley Ross. It has the same colored h.iir
and eyes. His bair hi8 been cut. He is
a’oont the same age, talks plain, and says his
name is Charley, that he had a nica home
once. It is a singular coincidence, but other
circumstances connected with the case makes
it impiobahle that he is the lost child. Fred
Hamilton is in the employ ot 1*. T. Barnum s
circus, now at Ronton,and is iu correspondence
with his wife. She says the child came from
New York. The officers here await furlbir
rcpeatei
that he has preserved his friendly relations
with all.parties to the case, during the long
period covered by the documents in his pos
session, acd that he has sincerely desired to
effect a reconciliation between Tiltcu and
Beecher. When the attacks on Tilton were
made public by Beecher’s friends, Moulton
felt compelled to come to the support of
Tilton, and approved ol the course taken by
Tilton in scii-defensc. Moulton finds it nec
essary to recur to the beginning of the con
troversy.
While the difficulty having originated in
differences bttween Henry (’. Bowen and Til
ton, be gives the history of Tilton’s serious
complications with Bowen, and step by step
traces the progress of the breach between
them, leading up to the final complications
between Tilton and Beecher, ont of which
grew the tripartite covenant.
Moulton makes incidental allusion to some
of the iur. or»aut interviews mentioned by
Frank B. Carpenter, oepeoudly thos? winch
relate to Bowen’s connection with the case.
Moulton’s narrative comes in due course to
the scenes between himself and Beecher, in
the house ot the latter. The letter written by
Mrs. Tilton, at the request of her husband
aud Beecher, the writing of Beecher’s apolo
gy, the whole text of which has already been
made public, and the remarkable letter iu
which Mr. Beecher describes himself as living
on the sh up and rugged edge of remorse,
fear and ifspafr. The last letter has remain
ed in the ^custody of Moulton Irorn the day it
was written up to the present time. The small
portion of it included in Mr. Tilton's sworn
statement was all that w r as placed by Monlton
at Mr. Tilton’s disposal.
The whole letter occupies two whole pages
of foolscap, and the intensity cf expression
revealed in the extract already published is
its prevalent tone throughout ali the letters
from iBeccher, from which quotation are
made in Mr. Tilton’s statement have been
lead in full by Mr. Monlton before the Com
mittee. It is established by Moulton’s evi
dence, that the letter of apology writt n by
Beet her ou the evening of January 1st, 1871,
was. as has already been intimated, written by
Mr. Monlton at Beecher’s dictation and
Beecher himselt wrote the lest line and ap
pended Lis signatnre.
The statements made by Mrs. Tilton in
ebr published denial and in her cross-exam
ination before the conmittee, are not sus
tained by Moulton’s evidence. Ho states
that Mrs. Tilton communicated with him
freely, and confidentially in regard to the
complications of this scandal, regarding him
I as a like friend of herself, bor husbau 1 and
Mr. Beecher. Mrs. Morse also made a confi
dent of Mr. Monlton, depositing with him,
some important letters, bearing ou this case.
These letters, together with others to Tilton,
go far towards strengthening his position,
it is now understood ill it the statement re
vised by Mr. MoultoD, will be furnished to
|the press for publication about noon to
morrow.
New Yolk, August 10. — The Beecher-Tilton
commute# o» investigation met this afternoon.
Mr. Moulton did not make his appearance for
an hour after the committee assembled. The
side walk in front of the house was blocked
up with reporters and crowds of curious spec
tators, anxious to obtain, if possible, a glimpse
of “our mutual friend,” Moulton.
When taking his d* parture, alter a session
of about two hours and a half, the committee
adjourned. The members on coming down
the steps were surrounded by a number of
the press. They stated that they had bound
lbcmsclves to secrecy, and would not make
the statement public till they had held a con
sultation. Mr. Moulton said he would give
copies of his statement to the press at 11
o’clock to-morrow. The committee will hold
its next session to-morrow night.

REJOICING OVER THE VICTORY.
GREAT REJOICING IN RALEIGH OVER THK DEM
OCRATIC VICTORY.
Raleigh, Aug. 10. The city is a blaze
with enthusiasm, celebrating the Democratic
victory of Thursday last, and torched light
procession and speaking at various points in.
the city. Among the speakers is Mayor W.
F. Cleregory, of Petersburg, Va. Good feel
ing exists in the State democracy by not less
than 10,000, white and 7 democroatio Con
gressmen and Legislatures.
A Vbby Loose Man.- For the past day or
two there has been in this city a colorod man,
who presents in himself a queer physiologi
cal freak. He is thirty-four years of age, thick
set,of medium height, of fair intelligence, and
was born in Manchester, England. He gains
a living by exhibiting himself to physicians.
Hih abdomen is naturally full, but at will,
without the use of bis hands, he gives it a
wave-like motion, and^t gradually sinks in, as
if being wound up, until it apparently rests
close against the bnck-bone, and he presents
the appearance of a man with no abdomen,
aud then in the same manner he rolls it out
to its oripiual form. He then drops from un
der his ribs a duplicate set of ribs, with a
breast-bone, when the original ribs and tbe
duplicates can be distinctly felt and counted,
and the whole front of tbe body is, as it were,
iron clad. Or, at will, he apparently drops
his heart from its DAturnl position some twelve
inches, puts it back aud sends it to tho right
side ot the body, opposite its natural position,
puls it back and sends it to tbe lower part oi
the body on tbe right side, thus piittmg it in
four different positions. During these changes
the two sounds of the heart can be distinctly
beard iu either of these new’ positions, and
not where they usually are beard. It seems
uccessary, however, tint utter each change
it should go back where it belongs before be
ing sent to a new quarter. Ho also has the
power to slop tbe boating of his heart at will,
from five to ten seconds at a timo, the pulse
stopping at the same time. He seems also to
have cousiserable strength, easily bending by
a blow ou tbe aim, a heavy iron cane which
he carries. Several ot our promineut phyai
cianshave examined him, from one of whom
we have obtained these facts, and pronounce
him to be the greatest curiosity in physiology
they have ever seen or heard of.— Providence
Journal.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
THE POSTAL CARD CONTRACT - THE VICTIMS OF
THE GRASS-HOPPERS—APPOINTMENT—
POST OFFICE MATIKRS.
Washington, August 10. — It is stated on
tbe authority of a prominent official of tl e
Postoffice Department that the contractor for
lurnishing postal cards, have never yet lur-
nished a card equal in quality of paper to the
requirements ot the original contract. Tho
contract is for four years and has three years
yet to ran.
Capt. Munson, commanding Camp Buggies,
in a communication dated July 31, 1874, ai d
received at the headquarters ot the army to-
d>iy, states that tho grass-hoppers have de
troy ed almost the entire crops of corn, oats,
potatoes, etc., in tbe Loup and adjoining
valleys.
Copt. M. suggests that tbe farmers who
have suffered this loss be employed in build
ing iho post or in hauling material lor tbe
same. He thinks it would prevent suffering
during tbe coining winter. The report is for
warded from Geu. Sheridan’s headquarters to
tbe Adjt.-General of the Army, whose atten
tion is invited to tbe suggestions of Capt. M.
Attorney General Williams returned this
afternoon and w ill resume bis official duties
to-morrow.
Messrs. Coughlin, James, McBlair, and
Trailx, memb is ot tho Potomac Club, left
hero last night, on their way to Saratoga.
They carry with them two tour-oared shells,
and will participate in the regatta to be held
there ou the 31st iust.
The Post Office Department has ordered a
third trip per week on the mail route irorn
Napa City to Kerrville, California; abo a
third trip on route lrom San Louis to <’ mi-
hrica, California.
At its last session. Conei05s ordered the
manufacture of a medal of reward lot the res
cue of the Metas: also one to be distributed
to persons employed at the life-saving sta
tions who might hereafter risk their lives in
rendering service to vessels iu danger ot ship
wreck. The [Director of the Mint, having
barge of the construction of the medals, ha*
issued a circular to artists to compete for
designs for tbe same, offering $200 reward lor
ach design accepted. Tne latest date at
vhich snch designs can be submitted is Sep-
einber 15th.
TLe Herald to-day contains the following
dated the 9th inst.: Supervisor Perry, ol
South Carolina, arrived here this evening en-
routo for Maine, where he will spend a lew
weeks. He siys that tbe Civil Rights Bill is
what killed the Republican party in North
Carolina and concedes a Democratic majority
of 10,000. Two years ago, it will bo remem
bered, this f.ffi ial was leader of the R'publi-
|an patty in South Carolina, and organized j
tho State fo ns to secure a Republican j
uu»jorityJto effect tbe Presidential campaign iu
November 1872. The sudden change bewil
ders him, and be thinks it would have foen
better bad Congress disposed of lh« Civil
Rights measure. So great a victory ou the
part ot the Democrats, he tears he will encour-
ge illicit distilleries, and he will ask military
posts to be established in some parts ot the
State where it Las been suppressed.
A new board of public school trustees were
pprintcdj recently by the district. Tbe com
missioners met to-cight, G. 1\ McClellan wa.->
lccted president and -T. II. Brooks appointed
secretary. Mr. Brooks offered a resolution
tor the revision oi the mb s and discipline of
all* district schools. Mr. Brown offered a I
resolution to divide the District of Columbia
into fifteen school districts, one fir each irua-
■ee, which would give to each trustee
barge of both white and colored school-!.
I The resolutions were refcried to a commit
tee ot which a colored man is the chairman,
and a majority of such committee are in favor
jf both rer?ointioEs. One member of tbe
committee (white) declared himself in favor
mixed schools. Of the 25 new members
10 are white and 15 colored. There was no
dissent expressed from tho white man’s dec
laration in favor of mixed sell m s.
The Prac ical Man.
[From the Scientific American')
lie sat beside us iu a street car. He looked
over our shoulder at the ne* copy ot the Sci
entific American, which, fresh from the press,
was receiving our final scrutiny, aud rtquested
the loan of the paper for a moment when he
bad finished. He glanced at the first page,
skimmed over the middle, and peeped into
the inside.
“I suppose that paper interests agientmany
people,” he remarked.
We modestly signified our couseut.
'•Wu’ll, it don’t me,” ho interrupted, .sharp
ly. “It dosn’t take no papers or books to learn
me my business, you know. Never learned
nuthin’ from books in my life. Didn’t have
but a quarter’s schoolin’, aud theu I went into
the shop. Served my time with old Peter
Reynolds, of Boston. Youknow'dhim inebbe;
dead now. Was his foemau; now I’m boss ot
my owu work iu this city. I’m a practical
man, I au. All yer hollergeys and hossorp'uys
may do well enough to write about, but they
ain’t no gote’r use in tbo shop. They just
git inter men’s heads and set ’em a tbinkin
about other things thau their work, and
then they git inventiu, aud that’s tho
ast of ’em. Why, I had a likely youug iel-
for, who used to buy that paper and read
it, dinner hour. Sometimes he’d stick it up on
his lathe,uatil 1 stopped that, mighty sudden.
Wall, one day I caught him scribllm’
with a piece of chalk on a bit of
board: then I knowed tho invention
fit bad got hold of him and that
ho was a goner. A few weeks after be comes
to the office, and says, he : “Boss, I’ve got
a little arrangement hero that'll make the old
lathe do better work, and he out with one of
them reg’lar printed paytents, and showed
me a new attachment for making gearing and
sick ‘ Wall,’ says I, to humor him, like,
•sonny,’says I, ‘you can go make yer un-
sheen aud sot it up on the lathe, if you want-
■r.’ Bat tho ungrateful villin began to say
ometbing about royalty aud shop rights, and
I told the bookkeeper to pay him right oft
and let him clear out. Blow mo if ho didn’t
go over to Smith’s across tho street, and rig
his affair there ; and tbe first thing I know'd.
Smith was turnin' out work at halt my prices.
Theu J bad to go find that foller, and pay
bun his blamed royalty, aud a heap it was,
too.
Now, thero was a good hand just spiled
a read in’; if lie’ll let that ere paper of vour’u
alouo he might ha’ been a good stiddy mau,
gittin his three dollars a day comfortable and
reg’lar. Now, they say he’s makin' stamps l»y
thousands, but he’s spiled. Wont be worth
nuthin ever fer work again. Whero’ud I have
been if l*d pegged away at books and noocz-
papers - eh ? ”
Our practical friend did not wait for an an-
.er ; for while we were cogitating a suitable
response, he suddenly made a bolt out of the
car aud rushed flown a street toward a dilapi
dated-looking edifice, which, we conjectured,
was none other thau tho “ works.”
Our acquaintance carried off our paper. -
He honestly mailed it back to us the other
day. We smiled as we saw the thumb marks
all the pages, and opposite an engraving
there was a pencil note of : “ 1 kuo a bettor
plau tbau this ” Perhaps after all a lateut
idea iu his brain bos been aroused, or has ho
taken the invention fit? Should be see this,
he will promptly scout the idea that our hum
ble efforts have awukinod him, lor "i‘
doesn't take no papers to learn me my busi
ness, you know.”
