A HEARTLESS MOTHEE deserted her infant at the Watson House, Evansville, on Thursday.

LARGE numbers of persons are leaving Charleston, South Carolina, in consequence of the yellow fever panic there.

TO-DAY is the anniversary of the surrender

of

Sedan, the most important

military event in European history since Waterloo.

E. N. BARRY, for sixteen years Grand Secretay of the Grand Lodge of I. O. 0. F., has resigned, and Hon. T. B. MCCARTY has accepted the position temporarily..

THE suit commenced against A. W. CARPENTER, of Evansville, which was mentioned in our dispatches some time since, han been dismissed. There was probably no ground on which to base an action.

L. P. MII-LIGAN, of SOBS of Liberty notoriety, has commenced proceedings in the Huntington county courts on a writ of error, with a view to having the Democratic Supreme Court of Indiana review the proceedings by which the case was transferred to the United Stales Courts.

A SENSATION was created at Indianapolis on Thursday by the receipt of the intelligence that the banking firm of MCEWEN & Son, at Columbus, this State, had failed for over $300,000. They held large deposits of county and city funds. Their failure was owing to unfortunate speculations.

FORT WA?NE is again afflicted. On Wednesday night ROBERT MATTHEWS, pitcher, and THOS. CAREY, second baseman, of the Kekiongas Base Ball Club, took French leave. Nothing was said to the directors indicating that they were dissatisfied with their treatment. They ha a he a

THE government pays more to.its army pensioners than it does for the support of either the army or navy. The following are the figures for the present year: War appropriation, $30,000,000 naval appropriation, $20,000,000 pensions, $34,500,000. Of the amount appropriated for pensions $4,500,000 is for the survivors of 1812.

It is said that in 1861 Speaker Blane paid tuxes on $1,750 worth of property only, and that he is now worth half a million.—Exchange.

He will be worth half a million when he adds considerably more than $475,000 to his present fortune. But that is quite as^near the truth as a Democratic paper can be expected to get.

A WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT learns that the books of the Treasury Department show that the national currency of all issues outstanding at this date is over 395 millions of dollars. Of this amount it is estimated that from fifteen to twenty millions will never be presented for redemption, the notes having been worn out, destroyed by fire or otherwise lost, and, although it will remain upbn the books as indebtedness of the government for years, payment will never be demanded.

A CONTEMPORARY calculates that one thousand lives have been lost in this country during the last five years by railroad accidents. Within the same period probably half that number, or five hundred persons, have been bacrificed by steamboat disasters. Such a slaughter of human lives is frightful to consider. It should awaken our lawmakers to the necessity of more stringent legislation, and so arouse public sentiment upon the subject that coroners' juries will hereafter do their whole duty in the maltter of fixing responsibility for such melancholy oo currences.

THE "Commercial" is happy in the well-founded belief that the Cincinnati Industrial .Exhibition of this year will be far more interesting in the variety and quantity of articles exhibited than that of 1S70. Although the managers made what was supposed to be the most ample arrangements, adding several large building to those already in existence, and were perhaps apprehensive that they had more space than would be occupied, yet they find, as the day for opening approaches, that it will be necessary to apply some restrictions in order to accommodate all exhibitors who solicits place for their articles.

Railroad Engineers.

The Cincinnati "Commercial" has some sensible views of the qualifications and responsibilities of a locomotive engineer:

Here is a position out of a thousand demanding at the hands of him who fills it the constant exercise of some of the very highest faculties with which men can be endowed. Think of it for a moment. On the capacity, judgement and absolute trustworthiness of this ..man depend the safety and the lives of 'all the multitudes whom his engine carries. A single mistake, an error of memory, a certain thing don* a moment too soon or too late, ana his precious cargo of human lives may be hurled into wreck and destruction. The officer on whose single will ar* suspended such fearful responsibilities should have, not 6nly the com* mon virtues of character and sobriety and the easily acquired education of his profession, but he should have at command the highest faculties of nerve, of prudence, of memory and the truest balance of judgment. And for all these talents, to whose harmonious action are entrusted the lives of the whole community, how much do the railway corporations pay? Ninety dollars a month. A. turn barely sufficient to hire a journeyman at any of the ordinary trades. The day laborers in our streets have been earning almost as much, and the bricklayers, who received more, have struck for higher wages.

TWENTY-FIRST YEAR.

AN interesting address to laboring men,

treating

particularly of Building and Loan

Associations, was recently prepared by Mr. GEO. RCGAN, and a copy has been furnished us for publication. It will op pear in the EXPRESS of Monday..

THE best evidence of the existence of the Ku Klux Klan in the South, .as well as the strongest commentary on the civilisation of that section, is found in the census statistics. Theae give us as nearly as possible the number of homicides in each of the States and Territories during the year ending May 31, 1870. Their incompleteness, however, will be manifest when it is remembered that one of the distinctive features of Southern society is a toleration of mut^, der under certain circumstances such, for instance, as the murder of a negro who has become offensive on account of taking an active share in politics. They are, notwithstanding, a forcible indictment of a people already convicted of the most horrible crimes of the century. By the figures referred to it appears that Georgia, with a population of 1,184,109, had 108 liomicides in 1870, and New York, with 4,382769 population, 56. In Georgia there was one killing for every 11,000 of the population in New York one for every 79,000 Texas, with a population of 818,879, has 304 murders Massachusetts, with 1.457,354, only_ 16. Between Pennsylvania and Louisiana, New Jersey and South Carolina, &c., the comparison is no less striking and suggestive.

BY TELEGRAPH.

WASHINGTON.

THE PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—The President declined the invitation of the Canadian authorities to visit New Brunswick on the occasion of the opening of the European and North American railway.

MAIL SERVICE.

The Postmaster General to day ordered mail service on the Marietta & Pittsburg Railroad, between Marietta, Ohio, and Caldwell, thirty-five miles back, six times a week from October 1st.

A dispatch received at the Postoffice Department from the Postmaster at Savannah says, that the mails and also all cars and passengers from Charleston are refused, advent into Savannah, in consequence of the fear of an epidemic of yellow fever. It is also stated that the mails from Charleston will be sent by way of Augusta.

FREE TRANSPORTATION.

The Baltic Lloyd steamship line from New York to Russia, has given the Smithsonian Institute transportation for all books, specimens of natural history, &c., between Russia and the United States.

UNITED 8TATES AGENCY IN LONDON. The reason given for taking the State Department Agency in London from Baring Brothers is, that that house had incurred the displeasure of ourauthori-* ties at various times. For fifty years past tliey have had constant use of the cash balance, amounting to $50,000 worth of 3 to 4 per cents. During the late war their conduct towards the United States was very reprehensible, a fact which lias been a State secret until now. During one quarter -in 1861, the State Department made an overdraft of $700,000 on Baring Brothers, and they sent an agent in haste here to collect the balance, a much larger sum having been sent to them before his arrival in this country. The agent was so anxious, that when he got to Washington, he repaired at once to Seward's house, long after the Secretary had retired To his Bleeping room. Mr. Seward arose and adjusted the matter to the relief of the apprehensions of the agent, and returned to bed. The Barings have made a handsome fortune off our government during the last half century, but for the fact of their long connection with the State Department as agents, the government might long ago have made arrangements to our advantage with private banking houses there, and at considerably less rates of exchange.

COUNSEL FOB GSNBVJA^F. 1

The selection of counsel for our arbitrator at Geneva under the treaty of Washington, has been made, but his name will be officially withheld from the public until it is known whether he will accept the office.

PERSONAL.

The President left Washingtci tonight for Long Branch. He will resume his residence here about, the 1st of October.

Secretary Delano on Tuesday will return here from Ohio, for a few days. He thinks the Republicans will carry that State by 20,000 majority.

CABINET MEETING.'

At the Cabinet meeting to day all the members were present, except Secretary Boutwell and Postmaster General Cress* well. The latter was represented by First Assistant Postmaster General Marshall. The most important matter considered was tbe condition of the South, and especially disaffection and the reported acts of unlawful violence in certain counties in South Carolina. Along letter on the latter branch of this subject, addressed to the President by Senator Scott, chairman of the Congress Xu Klux Committee, was read for the information of the Cabinet. It was determined to enforce the laws, and as a preliminary, the letter of Senator Scott, with other papers, was refeired to the Attorney General, who will report upon the law applicable to the case, when a proclamation will be issued by the President, and afterwards embraced in a general order of the War Department. Meanwhile that department will mature measures considered necessary in that connection.

It is probable that another Cabinet meeting will be held next week to take final action on the subject.

The Cabinet also had an expression of views on the Corean trouble. Three reports from Admiral Rogers were laid liefore them by Secretary Robeson. The United States will not now renew attack upon the people of that country, but will await the result of the English expedition. It is thought ultimately that the United States. Great Britain and the German Confederation may form an alii* ance against Corea.

CHARLESTON, S. C., Sep. 1.—The cool weather seems to have had a favorable influence in abating the fever. No new cases are reported to-day, and only one death took place. To correct the erroneous rumors, it should be stated that the business of the city is proceeding without interruption of any kind, and that all railroad trains arrive and depart with accustomed regularity.

VALUATION OF KINGS COUNTY. NEW YORK, Sept. 1 .—The Committee of the Board of Assessors of Brooklyn have succeeded in reducing the valuation of Kings county, as estimated by the StateBoard of Assessors, by at least twenty million dollars.

BRIBERY. -,..

The Tribune to-day attributes Gov. Hoffman's letter to C. H. Marshall & Co., who complained of exorbitant charges, to accusations made, and repeats that Dr. Carnochan, health officer, accepted a bribe of forty thousand dollars for granting to a certain company the privilege of pl.undering.the commerce of the port..

MARTIAL LAW. '•&?-

It is stated in Washington specials that the object of the visit of the President is for the purpose of issuing a proclamation under the Ku-Klux act, declaring mar* tial law in some sections of the South. Senator Scott, of the Ku-Klux Committee is known to have been in conference with the President on the subject yesterday, and it is likely that at the Cabinet meeting to-day the course to be taken will be tlecided upon,

POLITICAL.

There is considerable feeling being aroused among the Germans, growing out of the action of the German General Committe on Monday last. Meetings last evening were held in the Sixth, Tenth and Twenty-first wards, to consider the conduct of the General Committee. A meeting of the committee of the 14th ward will be held this evening. Their movements are exciting apprehension and alarm among Tammany. leaders, and the ring generally.

A SCHEME OF PLUNDER.

The Tribune has a chapter on the management of Ludlow street jail, in this city, and says that to the sufferings entailed by the law, sheriff's officers in charge of.the prison add persecution, direct robbery and absolutely impoverishment. Officials are carrying on an abominable scheme of plunder. A prisoner is extortionized on every hand. He in advised to employ a lawyer, who pays the jailer a percentage of his profits. The jailer is a retailer of l'quors without license, and keeps a pa* shop which necessitates prisoners being robbed after the most approved manner of money lenders. He cheats the prisoner and justice alike, furnishing for a consideration worthless straw bail.

INDICTED.

The Grand Jury this morning presented bills of indictment against the President and Superintendent of the Staten Island Ferry Company, and Inspector Matthews, for their culpability in the Westfield disaster.

THE ABORTION CASE.

There is still considerable excitement in reterence to the Rosenzweig abortion 86.

EXCITEMENT AT PATFERSON. The suicide of Conklin, the alleged seducer of the murdered MissBowlsby, at Paterson, creates a great deal of excitement at that place.

CORONER'S JURY.

The coroner's jury fined that Alice A. Bowlsby came to her death from the result of abortion produced hy Jacob Rosenzweig.

CHOLERA AND FAMINE IN PERSIA. Foreign: advices report that cholera and famine are still making fearful ravages in Persia, among the people. On August 5th, a telegram received by the Galatia Board of Health, from Galbreez, reports the rapid spread of cholera in that city. .During the previous week the deaths from the epidemic averaged 200 a day, and when the telegram was dispacthel the inhabitants were flying in thour sands to the villages toward Wooruinich and Khoi. Intelligence also at Galbreez at the same date was, that famine in the southern provinces instead of abatihg, was worse than ever. The Levant Herald publishes a statement that in Korassan, one-third of the whole population has perished from starvation, and at Ispahan no less than 27,000 souls have succumbed to it. Even since the Shah's pilgrimage Jo Kerbela, cholera, typhus fever, small y*x, famine arid cattle plague have combined to ruin the country.

POLITICAL SPECULATIONS.^^ Many prominent Republicans here are already speculating upon the course for the goming Republican State Convention to pursue concerning questions affecting national "politics. It is recommended that tbe State Convention make the issue one of municipal reform for the State government. If the State Convention raises the issue of the next Presidential candidate, the Evening Post thinks many Republicans will refuse to commit themselves by voting for the Republican ticket. Honest Democats who are willing to support municipal reform, will be repelled and further, that it is not necessary to assume that if General Grant's nomination is not recommended, the Stete is opposed to him. The question of the Presidency has nothing to do with the contest. It will be enough to nominate a candidate for President after the canvass is over.

REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE. It is thought that the speech delivered by Horace Greely at a meeting of the Republican Central Committee last evening, is evidence that the committee intend to keep up the organization regardless of the action of the State Convention. The meeting provided for the election of delegates to the County Senatorial Assembly Convention on the 20th inst., three weeks before the State Convention assembles. Mr. Greeley stated in his address, however, that the Convention would take care that there would not be two Republic can candidates in any district, and it would show it was ready to ac^ with the Republican party as the delegates at the Convention from time to time made it plain to them. He said the great issue would be the question of reform of the city government.

ARRESTED.

William Lewis, late -first mate of the ship Enterpa, was arrested and brought before Commissioner Osborn to-day, on a warrant charging him with having scuttled the said vessel on the high seas, whereby she was totally lost. The charge is made by a number of the crew who escaped from the wreck, and but recently reached this port, and who state that they ^ere offered large sums of money to coneeal the facts. Captain George Leach, who is charged with complicity in the crime, is absent in Europe. As the offense is a capital one, the accused was committed withoDl bail for examination on Monday next.

REFORM MEETING.

A meeting of citizens and tax payers of the Irish Protective party will be held at Cooper Institute next Monday evening, to consider what can be done to put an end to the extravagance of our municipal goveuuneat.

It is doubtful whether Mrs. Bowlesby will recover from the shock occasioned by the news of the death of her daughter. She has been in an unconscious state all day.

CHICAGO.

IOWA SENATORSHIP.

CHICAGO. Sept. 1.—A special from DesMoins says that Hon. James T. Wilson has consented to be a candidate for the United States Senate from Iowa. Mr. Wilson is now east, but before going he informed a friend that if the General Assembly when they came together thought it advisable to elect him he would accept the trust.

A STRANGE CASE.

A ew days ago a boat was upset in the lake. A man and woman, the occupants, were thrown into the lake and the woman drowned. The man was picked up, and while on the way to the police station with Mr. Godern, who rescued him, ran away and made his escape. Yesterday the man was discovered in the North* eastern Railway Company's shops, and was arrested. He explains his conduct as follows: He said he had been on a spree with the girl who was drowned, on the street, and asked her to take a boat ride. She consented, and they obtained a boat. When about a mile from the shore she asked him to let her row, and while changing places the boat upset and she was drowned. The reason he says for his running away when on his way to the police office was, that he was a married man and did not want his wife to know he had been boating with a prostitute. He was held for examination to-day,

EPISCOPAL MATTERS.

It is now said that there will be no confirmation in Christ Church until Bishop Whitehouse requests Mr. Cheney to present the candidates, which he probably will not do. It should be understood that the action of Mr. Cheney has from the first had the cordial support of his wardens and vestrymen, in fact, that he follows them, instead of being their leader. At a meeting of the vestry last night, Mr. Cheney offered his resignation for the fifth time, but it mot with a unanimous "no."

DENTIAL QUESTlONi O

While Vice President Colfax was in St Paul on Monday, the St. Paul Dispatch sent a reporter to interview him, particularly to ascertain whether the statement recently published that heintended to retire from public life was not a ruse, and whether he did not really iniend to be a candidate for nomination for President before the next Republican National Convention. Mr. Colfax replied to the reporter promptly and bluntly, that he was for Grant against the field, openly and above boa*d- The reporter having alluded to the recent statement iu the New York Standard, that the GreelyeFenton wing of tbe Republican party in New York were intending to bring him forward as a candidate. Mr. Colfax responded as follows: "There is nothing in it. I have had no communication with them, and I am for Grant unqualifiedly. People laugh at me, and don't believe me when I say I am determined to retire to private life, and I have ceased repeating it, but it is true, nevertheless. I have had all of public life that 1 desire."

COUNCIL BLUFFS.

TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA., August 31.— AFTERNOON SESSION.—Discussion on compulsory education occupied an hour of the afternoon session, and was indulged in by large numbers of members, after which a poem by William L. McCrun, of Dubuque, entitled, ''My Friend and His Friend," was resd by Prof. Piper, and proved an interesting and able production. An address on the vocation of the teacher was then delivered by Hon. D. C. Bloomer, of Council Bluffs. A resolution to memorialize the Legislature for the establishment of the Normal School at Cedar Falls, was, after warm discussion, adopted. A resolution, complimenting State Superintendent Kissel was adopted. His term expires in Janucry. The election of officers resulted in the choice of N. Fellows, President, with L. M.

HALIFAX. ,•

1

BOAT RACE.

HALIFAX, Aug. 31.—The four oared race to day was one of the most brilliant events in the annals of aquatic sports. The course was three nautical miles in length, and as the competing boats were required to double the course, the distance therefore was nearly seven miles. The morning was delightfully clear, and gathered crowds were assembled upon the erected stands that lined the docks, and on the housetops along the city front. Shortly before the race a sea breeze had sprung np, and the water was quite rough, especially at the lower part of the course. The Americans gained rapidly as soon as they got on the course as smooth as that on which the Englishmen were rowing. The contest between the three leading boats was intensely exciting for last mile of the race. The result of the race created little excitement. The Americans believed that if their boys had not been crowded out at the worst part of the course, they would have won. The Biglin crew say that their boat struck a half sunk piece of timber, which they think had the effect to throw them back and lose the race. In drawing for positions the Taylor crew got No. 1, while the BiglinAmerican crew got the worst position, on the outside near the eastern snore of the harbor.

At the start it was impossible to say which got the water first. The Roche boat fell behind after a few minutes, but the other five kept together pretty steadily for the first two miles. The advantage the English crews had gained by getting an inside position, gave them smooth water along the wharves, while the Americans being out in the stream got the full force of the wind and rough water in mid channel. The first turning was made by the Rcnforth boat. The Taylor came next, then the Prior crew next, and the

Americans

last. The Barton crew of

Americans lost two boat lengths in the turning, by the stupidity of some judge or other official, which considerably increased the distance they had to make in turning.

SINGLE SCULL RACE.

In the single scull race this morning seven started. The race was won by Sadlier, of the Tyne crew, by two boatlengths, Brown, of Halifax, second, Kelly third.

SPEECH.

Hon. Joseph Brooks made a speech last night to a large crowd of colored people, in which he was particularly severe on ex-Governor Clayton and his ballot box stuffers.

THE DEMOCRACY IN COUNCIL. At a large gathering of Democrats near here on Thursday last, the following resolution was adopted.

Resolved, That as the sense of this meeting, we recognize the adoption of the late amendments to the Constitution of the United States as settling the political status of all citizens not disfranchised by State or national legislation, and that we deprecate any discussion of suffrage guaranteed by these amendments, and that we earnestly recommend to our fellow citizens the doctrine of universal amnesty and universal suffrage.
