Old Series-Vol. 26, No. 18. ‘THE VACANT TREASURY. An Order from Governor Smith—No Signs of a Successor—The Matter in Statu Quo. [Atlanta Herald, 28th.] There were no new movements in Treasury circles oh yesterday. The Governor did a piece of routine work in sending an order to the Treas urer, notifying him that his office was vacated by operation of the law, and that in ten days he might turn over hie books and papers to his successor. The following is the official order. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 26th, 1875. John Jones, Esq., Atlanta, Ga.: Whereas, On the 15th teat., an Ex. urer of said State, in termsTof the law in suoh cases made and provided, a copy of which was, upon the second day, served upon you personally ; and Whereas, You have failed to comply with such requisition within the ten days allowed by law, therefore, You are hereby notified that, by op eration of law, you are removed from said office of State Treasurer, and a vacancy declared. You will please, within the next ten days, state your accounts and deliver the books, papers and money of the Treasury to your successor, , as reqimw’by section 91 of the last Re »d Ctfde of Georgia. iven under my nand and the seal of Executive Department, at the Cap itol, in Atlanta, the day and year first above written. By the Governor! Jas. M. Smith, J. W. Warren, Governor. Secretary Executive Department. HIS SUCCESSOR. From all the information we could gather it is quite probable that Dr. C. L. Redwine will be appointed to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term. Should this be true, Dr. Redwine will be an excellent choice and the mantle could hardly fall on more capable shoulders. WHAT TREASURER JONES WILL DO. The natural course of events, now that Treasurer Jones is out of office, would be for the Governor to proceed against him and his securities in the courts in case he finds him indebted to the State or behind in his accounts. Os course there can be no impeach ment for the Legislature has no juris diction. Col. Jones can, if he so de sires, demand an investigation at he hands of the Legislature, and promptly settle the issues that now beset him. This course we earnestly hope he will see proper to take. Without speaking by authority, we are inclined to be lieve that he will demand a hearing before the Legislature. He persistently demanded an impeachment, during the last Session, and it was denied him. His only object as far as we have seen, has been to get a full and fair hearing. This he will be abt to demand next January. WHO WILL BE HIS SUCCESSOR. It is impossible to even guess at his successor. Indeed there is an air of vague uncertainty pervading the Execu tive department that justifies the opinion that the Governor himself has not arrived at any determination. Dr. Bozeman has announced definitely and positively that he would not accept the office from either the Governor or the Legislature. “I will not have,” says he, “any office that requires a bond of $200,- 000, and only allows $2,000 salary.” No written application has been made as yet for the place, though it is said that Mr. Renfroe, of the Comptroller’s de partment, is a candidate for it. Dr. Redwine did not come to Atlanta on any business connected with the Gov ernor about the office. It will be difficult for the Governor to find a man who will make a $200,000 bond for a mere months tenure of office. The appointment must be made, however, within the next seven days, and the right man will doubtless be selected. The St. Louis Railroad Convention. Most of the delegates from this sec tion of Tennessee to the Southern Pacific Railroad Convention at St. Louis, returned here Thursday after noon and yesterday morning. The special train from Georgia and South Carolina, on which a good many Ten nessee delegates took passage to St, Louis, returned last evening via the Iron Mountain and Northwestern roads. Sixty Georgia merchants were on board. Twelve of these were enter tained at the residence of Col. E. W. Cole, by that gentleman and hi 6 lady, while the remainder were conveyed in the elegant hacks of the Nashville Transfer Company, to the Maxwell House, where they took supper. They left for the South at half-past seven o’clock. Many expressed their inten tion of revisiting Nashville and form ing a closer acquaintance with our citizens and merchants. At a meeting of the Tennessee and Georgia delegates, held on board the cars while en route home, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we, the delegates to the St. Louis Railroad Convention from Ten nessee and Georgia, who have been so well cared for by Colonel E. W. Cole, President of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad, desire to add our testi mony to the wide reputation he enjoys as a Railroad officer and courteous gentleman; and for the many kindnesses he has shown each of us on the trip, our hearty thanks are due and are hereby tendered, C. L. Ross, for the Georgia Delegation. Thos. Claiborne, for the Tennessee Delegation. —Nashville American, 27 th inst. Som] m ous r^H ’-’ll port, ia^H in for that the crop was likely to be a pretty large one after all. The Agricultural department of this State has put the present crop at 400,- 000 bales, against 550,000 last year. There, has already been received at Savannah 258,0CQ bales, against 288,000 last year, making*a decrease thus far of 30,000. Is it likely there will be a decrease in receipts of 120,000 bales for the balunce of the season? It does not look reasonable. The per cent, of the receipts at the ports for the past seven years for the first three months of the season was as follows, beginning with 1868, 32, 29.4 25.4, 32, 31.7, 27.5, 38.5. In consequence of the crops tribu tary to-tie At'anta ports being early and those of the Gulf ports being very late, we have put the per cent, this year at 39, making the receipts at the ports, 3,900,000 balos, to which add 350,000 for Southern consumption, and we have a crop of 4,250,000 bales, and from our present standpoint we do not think it will be more and cannot see how it will be less. When there is a good crop in the west as there is this year, a large portion of the receipts in January, February and March are re ceived at the Gulf ports. But last year, in consequence of the failure of the crops tributary to Galveston, New Orleans and Mobile, the receipts were very small. There wero but three weeks last year after Christ mas that the total receipts were over 100,000 bales per week, and even then but very little over. The receipts are already 150,000 bales in excess of last year. Now supposo the receipts in December are the as last year. But, in consequence of the better and later crop In the West, we wilf put the receipts for January, February and March at 25 per cent, more than last year, and the balance? of the season no change from the year before. The total receipts fbr the three months named wero 1,080,000; 25 per cent, added, 270,000 baldfr, this, with 150,000 already received,Vwill make the crop just four and a4m!f millions. The crop 'Of this Statir was injured by the July drought, and will pro bably fall short of last year about 10 per cent. Many farmers and sections have as good and better crops than last year. These we do not hear from. But it is from those who are habitual grumblers that wo hear that the crop of the State will be only half to three quarters of last year’s crop. The crop tribuary to this city is about 5 per cent, less than last year, but in consequence of some local causes the receipts are likely to be 10 per cent, less. Some towns that sent us several hundred bales last year are not send ing us any this. Last winter freight to New York from this city was 50 cents a hundred, whfct this year it is 100 cents per hundred pounds. This makes a large difference in our recepts by rail road. situation. There was a long and steady decline from March to October—six mouths. Then a reaction for October, and now a dull arid lifeless November, and the prices for spot cotton at about the lowest point for the year. The prospect for a very large crop and a stock demand for cotton goods with the price constantly falling, caused the bears in the cotton market to sell contracts down to so low a point by the last of September that they have been unable to drive it any lower since. The continent has been a heavy buyer of cotton, and taken much the largest amount it has ever done since the war. Money is very cheap everywhere, and cotton goods are lower than they were when cotton was selling for eight cents a pound; so it is not likely they will fall any more for this Winter at least, as a very much larger amount of cotton goods than at the prices of two years ago, There is an active demand in Manchester for cotton goods for India. Also, there is a growing demand for bleached and fine crown goods for Africa from thi3 country. It is not likely that even large receipts will have much effect on prices for the next month. The price of cotton may be lower than the present within the next two weeks, but it is likely to be nearly one cent a pound higher in the next six weeks. A Duel Fought. Wilmingtor,'Del., November 29.—R. W. Baylor, of Norfolk, Va., and Col. Jas. F. Kegan, formerly an officer in the United States army, fought a duel. Blows had been exchanged in Phila delphia, during a quarrel, Saturday af ternoon. At the first fire, Baylor re ceived a flesh wound in the left side, when friends interfered, preventing fur ther bloodshed. Wilson's Remains. Boston, November 29. —The day was fair. An immense crowd viewed the remains. The ceremonies were very impressive. Business in the neighbor hood of State street and the burned district was almost entirely suspended and the stores closed on account of Wilson’s obsequies. Flags were at half-mast all over the city,'which in many localities wore a Sunday aspect. At Lowell, Lawrence and many other New England cities bells wero tolled and cannons fired. lEDNESDAY MOpNING.

The members of the Immaculate Conception Church of Atlanta purpose holding a fair. It will oommence on the ninth instant. All regular practicing physicians and surgeons in the counties of Hancock, Warren, Glasscock, Jefferson, Johnson, Laurens, Wilkinson and Baldwin, have been invited to meet with the physicians of Washington couDty, on‘next-Tues day for the purpose of organizing a medical society. Rev. Moses Brazeal, and his two sons, Reese and Charles, Quamly Walker, Joe Solomon, Sharper Solc mon, Nat McCormick, Matt Kemp and Bob King, all negroes, have been arrested at Irwinton, charged with “Ivu-Kluxing” several of their black neighbors who disagree with them politically. On Saturday last, Master Eddie An derson, a nephew of Colonel Alston, of Atlanta, was loading the left barrel of his shot gun, having thoughtlessly left the other barrel, which wa3 loaded, cocked. In ramming the powder home the loaded barrel exploded, the shot ploughing through his face, putting out one of his eyes, and possibly both of them. Atlanta Constitution: Matters were exceedingly quiet about the Executive office yesterday. Concerning treasury matters there was nothing to be gleaned further than that Mr. J. A. Richardson and Mr. W. B. Lowe were tfamed as aspirants for the vacant office. The Govenor has given no public in timation as to whom he will confer the trust upon, but it is certain that he will select the coming man within jhe next two or three days, In the meantime, Captain Jones is preparing to deliver up the office. He refuses to make any public statement at present. Newnan Star: The very latest from the - -Brinkley ease is, that Judge Bucbanau, who is now holding court in Columbus, refused, on Sunday last, to hear a motion for anew trial. A bill of exceptions to this decision, was sent down lavt night by Mr. Rhode Hackney. This he will doubtless refuse to sign. A mandamus writ has already been prepared in anticipation of Judge Buchanan’s decision, which will be presented to the Supreme Court to compel Judge Buchanan to sign the bill of exceptions. Should this be granted, it will stay the execution be yond next Friday, but it is very doubt ful. Mr. Brinkley, of Memphis, was expected here to see his brother last night. Atlanta Commonwealth’: The num ber of escaped convicts since January last is fifty-nine, only seven have been recaptured. John Howard has lost thir teen in four mouths out of an average of thirty-five. J. T. and W. D. Grant have lost fourteen and recaptured four out of an average of two hundred and twenty-five. F. J. Smith has lost eleven, has killed one and has recap tured three. Dade Coal Company has lost but one man, Wiley Redding, out of two hundred and fifty-nine. North eastern Railroad have lost three out of thirty. Henry Stephens has lost six out if fifty, and has recaptured four. Fields, McAfee & Cos., have lost two out of one hundred. Henry Taylor, out of forty, has lost none. Hard Tijies in the Gay Capital.— Paris, notwithstanding that glamour of faith which resulted from the pay ment of the Prussian debt, ha3 come to see very hard times. Not only are the poor affected, but the fashionable world also. This shows that the cause is a deep one. Worth, the man milliner, who was to Paris fashion buyers what a General is to an army, has lost very heavily by the pressure upon his business by the stringency of the times; and though his horses prance as daintily, and he buttons his pearl-colored kids as lack adaisically as ever, it is feared that financially he is embarrassed to a great great extent. But, if gossip is to be trusted, he has lost mainly thtough the failure of fashionable Americans during our present panic. Another Herod in the Field. Kingston, Jamaica, December I. A Hindoo employed at the Constant Spring estate, beheaded five children from religious frenzy. A circus is about to visit Memphis, and the Planet, organ of the colored people, warns them against it thus: “Teachers, tell your pupils. Preachers, impress it on your congregations.— Fathers and mothers, tell your children to let this show go by; there will bean other next year.” A pretty and_sensible young lady re marked in the presence of seven bare faced young men the other night, “that it just doubles the value of a kiss to have to burrow it from under a mus tache.” The next morning one of our druggists sold seven bottles of a pre paration to encourage mustaches, in less than half an hour after opening his store. —Norristown Herald. THE WWF VIRTUOUS GIRL. CrowntfflK the Rosiere in France—A Remaijnible Coincidence in the Name sfthe Queen of Virtue. ICorrespbtßence of th > New York Times.] Yesterday was a superb autumnal iiStle cool but very fine—and all our “ hlfdlifeurs ” went to the races at Chantilly? .They were not extraordi nary, mtslfof the horses being little known, tui the great event of the day was the success of Colchique. This superb jgplinal has for a long time come within;®heiad or so of winning each race forlwlyich he has been entered, and has proved a fortune to the book mak ers. ®e outside public made largo bets updh Colchique, so great was the in him, and in each race he came in second. Still M. De Caumont continued to back his horse, which're mained a favorite with the public, aud yesterday Colchique’s friends were re warded, he winning the Prix de la Table, and making sad havoc among the book makers. But while the grand monde went tdiChantilly, the rest of Paris went out to Puteau, to see the ceremony of the clowning of the rosiere. This ceremffihy differs from that of other vil lages in one respect, it being purely laeiaßjone of the conditions attached to the legacy beiug that neither the priests nor the church shall have any thing to do with it. At Nanterre the disappointed virgins maliciously de clare that it is necessary to please M. le Cure, in order to get the crown, aud that virtue has less to do with the choicmthan an affectation of excessive piety, [ Doubtless this is true to a cer tain extent, for tho cure always desig- rosiere. The girl who was crowned last year, for instance, was in the hiibit of getting up before light to hear 6,o’clock mass before going out to dig her potatoes, aud very frequently she found herself alone at that hour. Vpry few girls of of that age could stand this throughout the year. At Puteaux it is the mayor that designates the rostere upon reports made by scores of persons to give their advice secretly on the subject. The girl chosen thisjjear was prodestiued to wear the croTO, for her name is Bertha ltozier. She works in a paper mill whore about one|iundred girls ure employed, and to hbr greater honor it must be added that-this paper mill is next door to a caserne full of superb dragoons. Most of her companions have the reputation of being on the most amiable terms with tho dragoons, but Bertha Rozier would, not look at one of them, and aftellfc -trial of twelve months her for titude Tins been rewarded by a rosier’s crown and a sum of money amounting to seven hundred and fifty francs. The selection of a girl from the paper mill caused a considerable commotion at Puteaux, the rule being to take a rosi ere from among the laundry girls, since they are exposed to temptations which can not reach the girls confined all day in the paper mill. My own im pression is that the blamhisseuse who wins the crown of roses ought, in jus tice, to have her dot doubled. The ceremony at Puteaux has been regarded as laical, but this year it has been made Republican. Let me say, however, that this is only the second time that tho Cartault prize has been bestowed. M. Jules Simon was chosen j as the orator for the occasion, and upon the platform, with the Radical munici pal council, were some of the notabili ties of the Republican party. Beside them sat Mile. Rosseau, the rosiere of last year, whose virtue has not been further rewarded with a husband. M. Jules Simon made good use of the oc casion for making a political speech, and once more affirmed his doctrine of tho “amiable Republic,” first declared at Cette. He called upon all per sons present to show themselves mili tant Republicans on all occasions, and begged them to stand up firm ly for the government of their choice. That form of government reposed upon virtue, he said, and they were there to celebrate the virtue of a young citoyenne; and then the ora tor went into the past to bring us ex amples of virtue which made Bertha Rozier open her eyes with wonder to find herself classed among the great of the earth. All this was a little out of place, but there waa one part of M. Simon’s speech that was superb. He said that tho reason ho would not dio was because his work was not finished, and he had no idea of passing away until his earthly task was complete. This task was to bring about obligato ry instruction in France. Under the empire he had worked for it as a pro : fessor and as a member of several com i missions appointed to examine the mat ter; he had worked for it as a deputy and as a minister of his country; he should continue to work for it until it had taken root in France. “ If we have obligatory instruction,” hoadded, “but a few years will close before we shall see here not one rosiere but a whole bouquet of rosieres, for the greatest safeguard of virtue lies in the educa tion of our daughters.” Here M. Simon was on the right ground. In France ignorance is the mother of vice. Os the hundred young girls that heard M. Simon speak, perhaps not half of them could read or,write ; perhaps not ten of them could write a sentence correctly. In ten years’ time obligatory education would make a great change in the morals of this country. The ceremony of the day ended with banquet at so much per head, the Mayor inviting the rosiere and her friends at the expense of the town. “Isn’tyour husband a little bald?” asked one lady of another, in a store, yesterday. “Thero isn’t a bald hair in his head,” was the hasty reply of the wife. THE MAN OF SEDAN. Astounding Revelations of Napoleon lll—Wliy France was so Easily Whipped by the Hermans. [Chicago Tribune.] The accumulating facts about the monstrous inefficiency of Napoleon Ill’s preparations for the war of 1870 have already exhausted all our ca pacity for being surprised, but still they come. We quote a few fresh in stances of criminal stupidity. All the eight thousand artillery-wagons were in a strong enclosure at Yernou, which was provided with one narrow en trance. The wagons were so ingeni ously and intricately piled together that it would have taken eight months to merely get them out. Gen. Ducrot testified that, of the two thousand can non in Strasburg, less than five hundred were fit for use. The arsenal was full of stone cannonballs, made in the time of Louis XIV. There were cook ing-pots for only two thousand men and canteens for only fifteen thousand ; there were no halters or picket-ropes; but there was enough black cloth to dress one hundred thous and men. Ducrot said he “spent five years in asking uselessly for indispensible things.” In Metz, which was the basis of supply for three army corps, the supply of biscuit and oats was exhausted within a week. There was not an ambulance, wagon, not a cart, in the town. Os the three million three hundred and fifty thou sand muskets, only one hundred thou sand were chassepots, and many of the others had been sold for old iron, al though not yet delivered. There were only one hundred and fifty rounds for each ehassepot. The troops were han dled with shocking incapacity. More than one huudred thousand of them, who were absent on leave, were left without orders, without transportation, .without arms, and without rations, to join their regiments as best they could. Men who were ordered to the frontier from Paris were actually sent thither by way of Algiers, iu order that they might be clothed iu the moth-eaten uniforms which were lying there. It is needless to pile up more proofs. These are enough to convict Napoleon 111. of a degree of incapacity such as his bit terest enemies never dreamed of im puting to him, before his bubble-repu tation burst and France fell a victim to her faith in him. FOX HUNTS. IN. Y. Herald.] If Mi. Bergh has ever visited the scenes he describes, he must have as sociated with some very queer speci mens of the “London Club men,” or the “habitual idler.” “Feeble mind” and “perfumed body” are not pretty epithets to apply to the Dukes of Beaufort or of Grafton, to the mem bers of the Pytchley or the Quorn, or the long list of gentlemen whose names, although they may appear in parlia mentary annals or on tho lists of noble charities, are forever damned in Mr. Bergh’s eyes and subjected to his scornful vituperation because they are to be seen weekly during the hunting season in a godless sheet known to the unregenerate as Bell’s Life in London, which advertises, under date of November thirteen, the follow ing “meets” in the United Kingdom, viz: Five stag hounds, one hundred aud thirty-five fox hounds, eighteen harriers, all, according to our letter writer, largely attended by “feeble minds” aud “perfumed bodies.” It would be impossible in the limited space of this article to correct all the mistakes or misstatements in the little extract wo have given of Mr. Bergh’s notion of a fox hunt; but one can ima gine, for instance, Mr. Talboy’s expres sions both of face and feelings, if, after a ringing “view halloo,” “dogs, horses and men scamper pellmell after the miserable animal.” Dear Mr. Bergh! if you had ever chanced to have had the luck once in your life to find your self, well mounted, in an easy country, with negotiable fences, smiling along over grass land in the “first flight,” you would have been spared an awful exhibition of yourself in the way of writing about what you do not under stand. Who own a good steed they know how to bestride, Tho’ blind to the fences and brook deep and wide; With nerves that ne’er falter, whatover the pace, L.t what may delight others, their joy is ciiase! Our letter writer, in his lycanthropic zeal, may, perhaps, forget that the fox i3 the most destructive of vermin; the farmers, therefore, who join in the hunts he denounces have a reason for joy beyond the pleasure of the chase in their protected poultry yards; and, really, in considering the abstract cruelty of fox huntiug, it does not seem of great moment whether the vermin is hunted and destroyed by the dogs, or whether caught by the leg in an iron-toothed trap during the night, he should linger in torture until he is clubbed to death by a farm servant in the morning. It seems almost needless to defend a noble sport which has done so much to improve tho breed of horses and to strengthen the nerve and give vigor to the frame of men in England; but it is well to remember that the grand old Duke of Wellington was a celebrated fox hunter ; that the gallant cavalry whose resistless charge at Waterloo, whose brilliant riding at Balaklava are things of history, were led and officered by men who had learned their riding, their coolness and their pluck in many Ia hard run with the Pytchley, the I Quorn or some of the hunting meets I which take jglace four times a week i during the soifeon all over the United 1 Kingdom. New Series, Vol. 3, No. 17 BERGH ON FOX-HUNTING. Thomas T. Kinney, Esq., President New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelly to Animals: Dear Sir: You will, I am sure, par don me, as the representative of the senior society in America for the pre vention of cruelty to animals, for call ing your attention to a dangerous and cruel “sport,” as it is called, namely, “fox-hunting,” which has just been presented to the admiring suffrages of the farmers and other land-owners of your State. This impudent and aggressive relief to indolence is of aristocratic lineage, and to the feeble mind of the average London clubman iu particular presents great attractions; firstly, because it is of very high "ton," and,' secondly, that it exposes his perfumed body once a year to the semblance of physical exposure. It is true that royalty itself, as well as “meaner things,? does sometimes engage in this “noblesport,” just as it does in shooting, cock-fighting and bull-bail ing, but then, in my opinion, thegreater the offender the greater the offense. I don’t know whether the frugal and in dustrious people of New Jersey qufl.o understand this elegant innovation, but, in a few words, it is this : On a given day a number of habitual idlers issue from their do-nothing abodes, aud meet at a stated locality in close proximity to what is termed a “ tap,” or, In American phraseology, a “sam ple room.” The convention, all mounted on horses, and having imbibed suffi cient air and liquid, starts for an open field, followed by a numerous naek of hounds, which locality, on bein - reach- - ed, a teirified fox is liberate rom a box, aud the dogs, horses a i men scamper, pell-mell, after the t> .‘table animal. Now the fox, exercis ; that cunning for which he is distim .ished, generally takes that route wL re his pursuers can do the most damage to hedges, gardens, and crops, the conse quence being that those noble “sports men” usually leave behind them an irregular track, characterized by its widespread devastation. Iu these predatory incursions, it is true, the “dashing huntsman” is sometimes brought in contact with something harder than his head ; and the “in ferior animal,” as the horse is erron eously called, often gets disabled ; but intelligent sympathy, as in bull-fight ing, is always with the horse. Sufficient injury having been dene to the farmer and the landlord, the precious pack of men aud hounds re turn to their usual covers, dragging along a wretched fox as a trophy, and the following day the sporting papers paint the “daring and exhilarating scene” in glowing colors ; just as tho “Hackensack Hunt” was done. It is almost superfluous to add that a “high old time” usually terminates these meets, whereat meat is of secondary consideration. This pernicious pastime should be “ nipped iu the bud” by the farmers of New Jersey, and that illustrious Celt named Donohue, who “entertains hopes that these fox-hunts, now in augurated, may soon become an estab lished institution in New Jersey,” should be emphatically told that' if either he, or his followers, the gallant Classon, Purdy, Skinner, Levy, Bias son, or Brennan and Murphy, of Dickel’s Riding Academy in New York, as well as all other similar tresspass ers. are discovered again engaged in such depredations they will be prompt ly arrested by the police ; or, failing which, then by the aid of some swifter traveling agent, known t b and feared by certain other malefactors, who prac tice their . sporting proclivities in the night time within the country houses of retired citizens. I am yours, very faithfully, Henry Bergh, President. The Last of Wilson. Natick, December I.—The day was bright aud cold. The funeral ser vices took place at Mr. Wilson’s house. Natick, December I.—At the conclu sion of private services at the house of the remains of the Vice-President, they were removed to the Town Hall, where public and final ceremonies took place. The services were conducted by Rev. Francis N. Peloubet, assisted by Rev. A. E. Reynolds, Rev. J. S. Whedon and Rev. Edmund Dowse. After the bene diction by Rev. Mr. Peloubet, the re mains were conveyed to the hearse aud the procession formed. The line of march embraced nearly every street in town and it was not until four o’clock that the hearse reached the grave in Dell Park Cemetery. Tiie Grand Army Post Band formed a square abou’- the lot, while the military escort were drawn up in line, and in the drive-way mourners and invited guests having assembled in body, the band mean while playing a solemn dirge, the casket was gently lowered to its final resting place. Rev. Mr. Peloubet spoke a benedic tion, the relatives and friends took a last look, dropped a few flowers upon the casket-lid and the last rites attend ing the demise of Henry Wilson, the Natick cobbler and illustrious Yice- President of the United States, were at an end. The town was crowded with people during the afternoon. After the ceremonies ended, the military escort immediately departed for Boston. The day is clear and cool. They 3ay it was a rare and touching sight at the Dayton, Ohio, depot the other day, to seo a Democratic ex candidate for Attorney General chased through three cars by a revolver, with an irate female behind it.
