THE Indiana Methodist Sunday School Convention meets in Indianapolis, on the 17th.

OOR BKADER8 will find the chat about the Vienna Lady Orchestra, which we clip from the "Commercial's" Washington correspondence, extremely entertaining. Vf

FROM the Mirror we learn that the Indianapolis Fair Association declared a dividend out of pocket of forty percent* on their capital stock, andof course they are not hajjpy, -r1 si

THE libel suit of Mr. RYAN, against •the Bvansville "Courier,"* is for five thousand dollars, not fifty thousand as stated in our last issue on the authority of the defendant.

Tnu new departure is now a universally conceited failure. The result, thus farj has been such demoralization and division of the Democratic party as to insure their defeat in 1872.

THE "Journal"says lhat Mr. Voorhees will not deliver the address at the Maryland Slate Fair.—Mail.

That is a sad blow, an afflictive dispensation, to the agricultural interests of "My Maryland."

THE liankin Comedy Company will find a cordial wglcome when they retura to our city. Their gentlemanly and ladylike bearing during their stay among us, not lew than their fine acting, has won the esteem of our citizen.".

Ouit sweetly solemn friend, of the Kvansville"Journal," serenely but firmly repudiates the pre eminent and chronic piety which we attributed to that paper. Perhaps we were mistaken. Solemnity is rot always sanctified.

WIIKRE is the wealthy and public spirited citizen of Terre Haute who wants to follow the noble example of Mr. I'ROBASco, and erect, dining his life, a noble monument to his memory, in the shape of a public fountain? The Court House Square would furnish a beautiful site for *uch a work. Shall we ha^e a public fountain to dedicate when onr water woiks are inaugurated? •••'$

A SUPERANNUATED EDITOR, whose abnormal visceral development has been attained at a total sacrifice of cerebral growth, thinks the ideas of the EXPRESS #ra not "bright" enough.

WE ARE indebted to ISAAC M. BROWN, Esq of the Union," for an interesting report of the exercises attending the laying of the corner stone of the graded school house now being erectcd in Sullivan. Mr. BROWN has labored earnestly and zealously to create the public sentiment out of which this enterprise has grown, and to insure its successful inauguration.

TUB progress of luxury in the matter of railway traveling induces the belief that the time is not far distant when every well-regulatad family will own a palAce car, fusnished with all the comforts of home, and contract with railroads for the me of track and motive power. An extension of side tracks would enable the owners of such palatial vehicles to occupy (hem, during their stay in any city or town, instead of paying enormous prices ^or fashionable misery in splendid .hotels.

Tlie Vienna Lady Orchestra. From tht *a»h. Cor. Cin. Commercial.] Washington has got used to women. It has had an awful time of it, but now after the long and arduous experience, I believe she rather enjoys them. Let me see: she has had the Women's Christian Association, the Women's Procreating Suffrage Society, the Women's Social Evil Club, the Woman's Ready Relief Society, besides any quantity of women lobbyists, women claim agents, women clerks, women lecturers, women editors, women correspondents—excuse me, lady correspondents -and 1 don't know how many other kinds of women, less useful ahd respectable than those named. The iaat sensation hero in the woman line, is the Vienna Lady Orchestra, composed, an the bills

say,

of twenty instrumentalists, all young, handsome and highly talented ladies. It performed here last night, at Lincoln Hall, and was a decidedly more agreeable sight than the Women's Club, on the same boards, scolding and snarling because Ood did not consult them before 'making man and women. There was a good deal in the performance last to ad.mire. It was generally pleasing.

The musicians are not remarkable «tar ^s

,r performers, but they are remarkable ladr jierformers, for heretofore, while .a lady now and then essays to play the violin, thafitue and the violoncello, none have attempted to make these distinctive instruments, either singly or together^ for the amusement of the public. That is to cay, that aBy orchestra composed of men going about the country and giving concerts for the best circles would have to play much better than the Vienna Orchestra to succeed and probably an oichestra of men, with the practice the ladies have had, would play better, but it would be very difficult for a director to get together twenty men as young as the

Vienna girls are, who would please as well. Therefore the orchestra is remarkable. .Some spooney New lord writer has »ai4 (t.hat there is not an ugly girl among ihecp, ftbat every one of the twenty is decidedly fcpndsome, Ac. So far from this being yue, t^iere is not ft really handsome .one among tfc*m all. Most of them are pleasant t»ir looking, some are even pretty, but poop are beautiful^ while

come, indeed, are really so plain and (homely lhat the eye rests upon them with too pleasure. They are all healthy lookSag German girls, who are modest, rosy, •well behaved, and clever in the nse of ilheir instruments. Paobably the pretti «st on* in the lot is she who plays the "violoncello. She who clays the harp has •Otf a refined and aultivatea face, while one of s... the drummers is eapecialjy noticeable for UN Jjfr round face, beautiful eves and sweet

smile. It wouldn't be proper for ntefto tell which are the homely ones. lhe ladies of Cincinnati will pick them out enough when they perform there. But I will ask the Cincinati ladies to notice the little white and rosy hands of the violoncello player, and then contrast them with the big, ungainly brown ones of one of the players who sits in plain sight.

A skilled ear will miss the trombone and the cornet, and will, I fear, fail to see the utility of the orgui.^ The instruments used are drums, violins, violon* cellos, flutes, a harp, a bass viol, a piano and an organ. If I nad the management of that orchestra, I should like

trade the organ off for a cornet. The musicians are well trained and in most admi/able practice, but I do not think there is one who would receive special commendation if she played alone. After all I am inclined to think that the novelty of the thing is the attraction. I am very glad I went, but I do not want to,go again. That expresses the whole thing.

The performers were all dressed alike, but I must say they were not well dressed. There was first an underskirt of light maure, trimmed with cherry ribbon in a Grecian pattern around the bottom. Then a waist and overskirt of dark mauve, trimmed with cherry and having plain sleeves ending betwein. the shoulder and elbow, with white under-sleeves, and a cherry silk court train, puffed. The ma terial of the undeidre?s, waist and overdress was either alpaca or some Other cheap material. The costumes were cheap looking, anyway, and they "fitted" as well as ladies' dresses generally do that are made abroad, which is not very well.

Josephene Weinlien, the conductress, wore a white silk dress, long train, trimmed with satin, fringe and lace, but-iulid not look well. It didn't fit her it was too short in front it wrinkled in the back: was too long in the waist, and really rpoiled the appearance of Josephine, who would else have been a very pretty young lady. She stood before the leader's stand, and wielded the baton in her gloved hand with decided grace, and vigor. Each wore in her hair a cherry colored pon-pon, which looked jaunty enough.

The best part of the entertainment to her mind, was the singing ot Ann&Elzer, the chief vocalist. She is said to be only twelveyears old, but I amigine she is nearer lourteen. Iler voice is marvelous, and the cultivation in one so young is unprecedented. Add to these the manners which would grace any -prima, donna, and you have something worth going to see and hear. She is beautiful in feature, her eyes are bright and. expressive, and her smile is winning and sincere. She runs on and off the stage as light as a fairy, is perfectly self possessed, yet mod eat and retiring. She is in no sense forward. She sang in French, Italian and German. I hope she knows those languages. The baritone, Mueller, has a wonderfully powerful woice, and it seems to be under peafect control. I do not remember to have heard a more creditable performance than his. He was twice encored last night. He will be very popular in this country.

BALTIMORE.

EMBEZZLEMENT.

BALTIMORE, October 7.—In the United States District Court to day, the case of General Bowman, late Deputy Collector, charged with embezzlement, rendered a verdict of guilty on the four first counts of the indictments, and not guilty on, the fifth. Sentence deferred.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

A message was received from the Flouse of Bishops transmitting the following report on uniformity of the ritual. The Committee of Bishops appointed by the House of Bishops at the general Conventions consider whether any additional pro vision for uniformity by the Convention or otherwise, is practicable and expedient, to report to the next general convention, having held sunday meetings at several places. The Committee were

Eaving,

resent tnrovgh tfie entire session, and as they believed, given to the subject the latter entrusted them that careful consideration which its importance merits respectfully ask leave to report. The resolution under which the committeejwas appointed raises several questions for examination and answer as to anr legislation touching the performance of divine service and adminis tration of Sacramento* and other rites and ceremonies of the Church practicable. If practicable, is it at this time expedient? If practicable and expedient, shall it take the shape of a cation or canons, or shall it be otherwise provided for, and finally, what shall the actual details of legislation be? 4f

Assuredly these are questions that touch the church and its members in many and very vital points, and^ involve many delicate as well as precious rela tions. In considering these questions the committee have endeavored never to forget that substantial informity is entirely compatible with very considerable individual liberty. That non-essentials should never be unduly magnified, and fir less raised to equality with essentials. That paany troublesome and objectionable things are ephemeral in their nature and perish in using, and that under any circumstances hasty legislation is ever to be avoided. Nor have they omitted to keep in mind the wise words of the thirtysixth article of religion. It is not neces sary that dedications and ceremonies be in all places one, or utterly alike, for at all times they have been diverse, and may be changed according to the diveroi ties of countries, times and men's manners, so that nothing can be ordained against God's word. Every particular ordinal church hath authority to ordain chtfbge and abolish ceremonies or rites of a church ordained only by man's authority, so that all things be done to edifying.

It has been and is their unanimous opin* ion that some action of the general Convention, in regard to the important matters named in the resolution appointing them, is very desirable, if not indeed absolutely demanded.

The tragic^death of Mr. Ed*all yesterday condHteto excite deep interest, and the caut^ems no nearer its solution than twenty-four hours ago. The coroner's inquest has been busy on the case Bince yesterday. A large number of witnesses have been examined, including the wife and servants of the deceased gentleman. No facts have been brought to light which seem to determine positively whether it was a murder or a suicide, although the weight of evidence is in favor of the latter theory. The strongest evidence tgainst this theory is the fact that there were no marks of burped powder on the face of the deceased, wjiife alt experts agree that if he had discharged his own revolver into his temple, there would have been beyond any dopbt such marks, as several showed that at a distance of two feet powder marks were discernible on a piece of white paper, and that at a lesser distance the marks were intensified. .if ::•-i .V" -i— It},

KKYSEKXAKE8CONFESSION. NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—A.confession was made last night by Keyser, which, is deemed of the utmost importance. The step was wholly unexpected, and as ai means of enabling the Committee of Seventy to obtain other proof, is regarded as the most proihising and accurate that has yet transpired. His admission is, that in seven years employment by the city he has received three quarters of a million of dollars, for which'he has done little work, but declared lhat bis signature to many vouchers for exorbitant sums had been forged. In many instances he had been compelled to assign his claims before he could receive payment. This confession will probably secure him im» munity from punishment. Other implicated tradesmen are expected to take a like course.

COMMITTEE OF SEVENTY.'

The Committee of Seventy in following out their determination for the prosecution of ring thieves, will demand of the Governor to forthwith order the Attorney -General to commence the required legal proceedings. They, will employ counsel to assist in this work.

AUDITOR WATSON.

The late County Auditor, Watson, is xnpposed to be the pe^on who altered the Keyser vouchers. The bills of Davidsota & Co. wete also altered. The firm is said,to have received but a small proportion of the amounts charged to them. ti'fi

TM£ GRAND JURY.

The opinion is gaining ground lhat Judge Barnard will dismiss the present Grand Jury. Unless this is done, proceedings against the perpetrators of frauds will result in nothing, besides the fact that the Grand Jury is a packed one. Officials upon whom devolve the prosecution of suits, are under Tammany influence.

EVIDENCE ACCUMULATING. Evidence of a most startling character is accumulating, but the Committee of Seventy find difficulties in their way. The parties giving evidence expect it will cost them their salaries, and desire to be provided with other situations. This the committed hesitate to do.

THE HERALD

The Herald says it will advance the City Treasury a hundredMhousand dollars, towards carrying on the Government until the taxes come in.

BOSS TWEED.

1.7

Tweed says there is a discrepancy between the statement of Controller Green, as to the financial condition of the Department of Pulic Works, and his own. That there shall be no stoppage of work in bis department, and that he intends to take care that his department will pay his nlen rather than see them suffer. He does not regard the Rochester Convention as either a triump or defeat for Tammany. He supports the ticket, and thinks the city trouble an issue in itself.

EXAMINATION.

The counsel for Ingersoli, who was to be examined to-day concerning his claims against the city, desired delay, on account of the absence of associate counsel, which was granted. The opposing counsel wanted to proceed. It was subsequently arranged that the case should come up on Monday.

JUDGES.

There are two Judges of the name of Barnard. The nomination of the Judge of that name for re-election refers to Judge Barnard of Brooklyn.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

nis morning Julius Steinman, a lager beer shop keeper, murdered his wife Julia, crushing her head with a club and a smoothing iron, cutting, her throat with a sheath knife, and then hanged himself with a clothes.line at the shop door. The bodies of both were cold when discovered by the saloon waiter. Jealousy supposed to be the cause.

A correspondent of the Times writing from Wrashingtonf savs that a gigantic Indian fraud has just been unearthed by Secretary Delano. Several well-known Indian officlais of the last administration, among whom is an ex-Commissioner of Indian Affairs, are implicated in a scheme which involves over sixty thousand acres of land, valued at upward of $180,000. The Secretary has had a special Commission of the Interior Department probing the matter. Most startling developments are anticipated.

TSE sAttAfciok.''

Horace Greeley, in review of the situation states, that Oakey Hall has embezzled public money and converted it to hi« own use. He thinks he ought to resign. There seems no evidence that Peter B. Sweeney is a public plunderer, ditto rather more as to Judge Hilton. My judgment as to Tweed is very different, but believe that a good share of the millions paid out of the Treasury on his order are immensely exaggerated, and are utterly fraudulent. The bills of Ingersoli, Garvey, Keyser, Schuyler, Smith & Co., have wound their devious way into his pocket, and have been employed to defray his enormous expenditures at Albany and in this city, and elsewhere, and to add block after block to his ever growing possessions.

The State authorities of several other chieftains have joined the movement. Their sombined forces are said to be marching on Camargo and Matamoras, with the view of occupying the Custom House on the frontier. The final step taken by the author ites of Neuva Leon was to throw into prison all the employes of the Federal Government. It is exbected that the fevoluton will become general. The Matamoras frontier is yet quiet. Geneaal Palaere Cortenas has issued a proclamation urging a fight for Juarez. Great preparations are making at Mata moras for defense. All the cavalry has left for the front.

The fire originated in Lull & Holmes' planing mill. The saddest resalt of this fire was the burning to death of Mrs/Margaret Hadley, living on the north side of 'Jackson street, who, being suddenl/ surrounded by the flames was unable to escape. Her remains, burned to a cinder, were found this morning in the place where she was last seen in her house. It is impossible to learn to-night, the exact amount of insurance, and all the companies that are victims. The entire insurance will probably fall below $150,000.

CARD.

To-day Keyser publishes a card in which he states on behalf of his firm, that his communications to the Committee have been misconstrued, that monies he received in 1869 and 1870 covered work done since 1864, on all city and county buildinsg, including plumbing, gas work, iron railings, repairs to city parks, castings for croton water and sewer departments and bureau of lamps and gas repairs, On streets connected with sewers and culverts, apd with sewers and alterations, and that some of these he is still at work completing. He was put to heavy expense for the new building of machinery and experiments^ and charged but a fair price to cover air, having been often obliged to sell bis claims to raise money to carry on his operations. He further says he never received a cent of the.sum of $800,000, but that the vouchers and his endorsement thereon were forgeries. In answer to other' newspaper charges he also says, that Tweed had never any interest in his firm, but that the company are his employes, among whom last year he distributed $35,000 as their per cenlage of profit. He feels indignant at the insinuation that he lived luxuriously, and gives the following details. His town house cost him $12,000. The island near South Norwalk but $150. The house on it $4,000, and $7,000 more in improvements, and fRs costly statuary he bought in this city for $300.
