With the approach of the holiday season there is a natural increase in advertising, and we ask it as a special favor that advertisers will hand in their advertisements to-day for Sunday's Express as early as possible.

The Virginia bourbons are not only repudiators like Mahone, but they are cheats. Mahone openly avowed his belief, but the bourbons pretended to be debt payers, while in fact they were as eager for repudiation as was Mahone. __________

There are many complaints of the failure of the county prosecutor to bring certain cases to the attention of the grand jury. The last one was the escapade in a saloon when a young man's pocket-book was taken from him, the parties taking it refunding the money the next day, but not until after the police had threatened arrest. The prosecutor says that no indictment could be found. May be not. Perhaps it is a case of ignoramus.

Beforo Mr. Carlisle was elected speaker, but when he was engaged in the contest for the office, he wrote to Prof. Perry, of Williams College, a freetrader: "In my opinion a retreat from our present position on tariff would be disastrous. If we shall find ourselves unable to go forward we can at least stand still and hold the ground already won, which is far safer and more honorable than to go backward." But on taking the chair as speaker Mr. Carlisle evidently concluded that it was wise to "stand still" liefore any obstacle had been met which would warrant him in saying he had found himself "unable to go forward." In his address to

it,

the house on that occasion he said: "Sudden and radical changes iif the laws and regulations affecting the commercial and industrial interests of the people ought never to be made unless imperatively demanded by some public emergency and, in my opinion' under existing circumstances, such changes would not be favorably received by any considerable number of those who have given serious attention to the subject."

General "Dick" Taylor, in bis review of the causes of the rebellion, wrote as follows: "We made two great mistakes. Had we avoided them we should have conquered you. The first was that we did not substantially destroy the protective features of the tariff In the winter session of 1857 and 1858 by an act which provided a rapid, slldlng-scale to free trade. We could have passed such a law anil held It tight on you till It closed the furnaces, workshops, woolen and cotton mills and Steel and bar iron works of the whole north and west, and scattered your workmen over the prairies and territories. When the war was ready for you, you would not have been ready for the war. You could not have armed and equipped and put in Ihe field a large army, nor built, a nary. You woul£ have been without supplies, machinery, and workmen, and'you would have been without money and credit."

General Taylor was a leading spirit of the Confederacy and was an acknowledged authority, being closely associated with Jeff Davis and otherwise fitted to speak with accurate knowledge of the condition of things that led to the war. He tells us what would have resulted from the removal of the protective features of the tariff. Of course the ultimate object recited above was the victory of the Confederacy. But what he says as to the closing of the furnaces, workshops, woolen and cotton mills and other industries is as applicable to-day to the contest over the tariff as it was in 1857 and 1858.

A man who is supposed to be a tramp laid down life's burden yesterday in a decidely novel and plucky fashion. He lay down by the side of the Burlington railroad track, placed hia head on the rail between two freight cars, and let them run over him. His head was completely severed from his body. The remains were taken to the morgue, and an inquest will be held to-day. There was nothing on the man to reveal his identity, but he carried a cane on which was engraved ''William Rankin." He appeared to be about 40 years of age, was of medium size, and wore a black mustache. He was dressed in a gray suit and blue calico shirt, and wore rather heavy, low shoes.

THE MINSTREL FESTIVAL.

The Living Pictures of Southern Life to be Given—A Steamboat Scene.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Bpeaking of the coming Minstrel festival, eays: The scenes which will be given on the immense stage of Music hall will be living pictures of Southern life. In fact, the entire interior of Music hall be turned into one enormous garden. Tropical plants and flowers will be scattered about everywhere and the new proscenium arch, which is being painted expressly for the festival, will represent a Southern landscape. This arch will have an opening of sixty feet, and the stage will be enlarged so as to give a depth of fifty feet. In making this addition to the stage it was found necessary to remove about five hundred seats. Mr. Welch, the amusement director of the festival, says there is to be five hundred performers on the stage. There are to be forty end men, and the well drilled choruses will be backed by a brass band consisting of eighty mouth pieces. All of the voices will take part in the choruses to the songs which will be sung in the first part. This portion of the performance will terminate with a grand musical burlesque, and here the brass band will have an opportunity to do some very effective work. It is not our intention to dissect the entire programme here. However, there is to be a transformation scene at the termination of the first part, which will disclose a levee on the Mississippi, upon which the numerous picaninnies and plantation hands will disport. Everything which will give a realistic appearance to .this scene will be brought into requisition. Among other things, a Mississippi river steamboat will make a lauding at the levee and unload her cargo of cotton. There will be a fancy drill by forty-eight zouaves, to which the deck hands of the steamer will be interested spectators. After this scene the famous Hyer Sisters will sing classical and jubilee songs. These ladies have had superior advantages in the cultivation of their voices, and their singing will be ore of thf most enjoyable features of the per jance. Specialty acts will follow in rapid succession, each -of them introducing some new feature, which will show the negro to he a natural-born fun-maker. The finale will give us plantation life, pure and simple. It will depict the Old Kentucky Home, and wiii Bhow the possibilities and capabilities tf the stage. Director Welch is a man of fertile brain and large experience, and Messrs. Frobman and Miles, the projectors of the Festi val, have promised him their heartiest support. The performance will last two hours and fifteen minutes, and popular prices of admission will rule. The tickets, we understand, are to sell for twenty-five and fiftv cents, with the exception of a few, which will call for the more select seats, and these will be sold at a slight advance over the figures above named. Of course there are to be street parades, which will gladden the hearts of the young generation, for they are to be grand in the extreme. Twelve drummajors will lead the procession. At night the military band of one hundred pieces will play in front of Music hall. The Minstrel Festival is attracting the attention of people in all dassee of society, and already the demand for seats is quite large.

THE O'KJSILLY CASE.

Tile Ume Kxtunefor tfie Failure.to Prosecute Staff and Early.

Says the Evening Gazette: Detective Dwyer desires the Gazette to say there weiff" several mistatemehts in the report of the O'Reilly affair as published in the Express this morning. In regard to the luggestlon In the Express that DWyer go before the grand Jury, Mr. Dwyer said he laid all the facte In the case before Prosecutor Shelton and that Judge Shelton had stated on the presentation of the facts, as stated, that no indictment could be turned. Mr. Dwyer says O'Reilly stated In the presence of nlwself and John Staff that at the time he had the money he did'nt know whether to tell that he had it or not, as he was not sure who owned it and did not want to be drawn Into the difficulty.

Things begin to lohk a little queer, don't they? O'Reilly had bis official powers taken from him because he did not tell Detective Dwyer that he had borrowed $20 from Lawrence Staff when Detective Dwyer thought that Staff had stolen the money, Detective Dwyer recovered the money by following the clew that Staff was the thief. If Detective Dwyer recovered the money he certainly knows how he got it, and if the money had not been stolen it surely would not have been recovered. Will Prosecutor Shelton please state how it is that a man can not be indicted for robbery, especially in a plain case like this, when the alleged thief i* trailed and the money recovered. The wholo case smells as if a felony had been compounded.

The police board thought it a case serious enough to cause them to revoke O'Reiltrs police power for the part he took in the-affair. But we understand that since then the board has informed O'Reilly that the powers will be restored to him if he secures a petition from the persons whose property he has been guarding. What has sunh a petition to do with his culpability in the case referred to? „It begins to, look as if the board had_ been tipped the wink in this peculiar instance of how not to prosecute persons accused of crime.

There have been other glaring instances of failures to find indictments when the attention of the prosecutor was directly called to the violations of the law.

O'Reilly's Statement.

Officer O'Reilly makes the "following statement: "I was in Confare & Cassady's saloon talking to Harry Early. I dld not see Staff or Farrows'come Into the saloon. When I first noticed Lawrence Stafti. he fell against a table, and I noticed he had a pocket book In his hand. Staff and Farrows were fooling with each other, and I did not think anything of Unas I supposed they were friends. I did not know the pocket book belonged to Farrows un til James Newsoms, the bartender, 'old Staff to return the pocket booV to Farrows, which he did.. Staff and Early then went to the rear of the saloon, and after they were there a moment or so I went back to see what was going on, or If anything was wrong. Nobody had claimed that anybody had lost money, and on a mere suspicion I tried to find out if anyone had taken money, and he (Staff) told me he had taken no money from Farrows whatever. Staff said: 'He hasn't any money, for I shook dice with him for the oysters at my brother's saloon, and had to pay for them after winning them. Wc got them at Leo. Warner's saloon.' Staff started for the alley, and Harry Early, Coffin and myself followed. I seen he had $10, and I trot it from him. I knew Lawit asked him to loan me 820, and hesald,'I'll Just go you,' and loaned me that sum. He handed me this money in the presence of Early.and Coffin, who heard me ask for It, and in sight of a man painting the Are escapes on the National house, and a colored man who cooks for W. H. Gilbert, and a gentleman looking out of Kicliaid's barber shop. I borrowed this money to save it for him. I told Coffin to take Staff and put him to bed. They started off to Staff's room, and Early and 1 walked out of the alley, and went to the corner of Sixth and Main. I asked Early to go with me to Bren nun's clothing store, as I had a message to deliver to Brennan's son. As we came out the fire engine came down the street We supposed there was a lire and went down, but found It was a test -of the water works. In the crowd we were separated. After the test I went over to Confare & Casady M, to see Mr. McChesney, for whom I work. I was there but a few moments when officer Dwyer and ^McLaughlin came In, and Dwyer told Early (who wtte In the saloon when I got there) they wanted to see him. They went away together. I did not know then that there was anything wrong, but heard some one say Staff bad been arrested, and that they had taken Early to see who had taken the money. I saidto Wiley Coffin, 'Let's go down and see what is wrong,'and as we started out of the door we met officer McLaughlin. He said, 'Joe, I want.you to go with ns.' I said, 'Dean, am I under arrest He sat

J, 'No, Harry Wants to prove

his innoconce by you,' I asked Dean what was the matter, and he said Farrows claimed that Staff had taken money from bim, and that Harry was Implicated. I went with McLaughlin and Early to John T. Staff's saloon. There, in the presence of John T. Staff Lawrence Staff, Harry Early, Wiley Coffin, Wm. Dwyer and Dean McLaughlin, Early asked me to state if he had anything to do with the taking of any money from thl» man Farrows. I stated that I saw Lawrence Staff have the pocket-book, and If anything was taken from It I did not know anything about it, and that I thought I saw everv thing going on, and I was perfectly confident that all parties accused were Innocent. Thinking this I told Mr. Dwyer that 1 believed the boys were innocent. William Dwyer never asked me anything about It In the presence of these witnesses and everything I told him was voluntarily, and at the solicitation of Harry Early. As Mr. Dwyer never asked me anything, consequently 1 never told him anything. I thousht there was nothing to conceal, and the reason I didn't tell that I borrowed this money from Lawrence Staff was that I considered it my own private business. The boys were released on my statement. Later in the evening heard that It was a Bure thing that Lawrence had taken ihe money. Knowing that I had $20 that I had borrowed from him, I sent thfe money to his brother John, and told the party to tell him that I had fcorrofved this 820 of Lawrence, and If Lawrence had taken this money that It might betbe me*ns of saving trouble by me sending him this mo»ey .and telling him the circumstances. Even at this time I believed Lawrence tl be innocent"After I had given tils statement Coffin was asked to give- hist and he said that I hod told all it was possible to tell."

TOM OCHIIjTREK QUEFX

AND

THE 1

The Texas Congressman's Interview with Mrs. Gaelpb, and Whit He Told Her Abont John Brown.

An eastern newspaper, which has been interviewing Congressman Thos. Ochiltree, of Texas, about his late visit to England, describes the Texan's interview with Queen Victoria as follows: "The quwen waa graciously pleased to hopo that Mr. Octiltree found his viait to London enjoyable. 'Enjoyable, yotir imperial highness well I should pause to hesitate,' eiclaimcd the impulsive ranger. 'I'vebeen dragged ont to dinner, after dinner and garden parties galore, nntil I'm completely done brown.' The qaeei looked sad and glanced at a portrait over the mantlepiece, which repwsented a rather hard-visaged, shock-headed man in a Glengary t$p, who might have been a Fiesbyterian elder. Mr. Lowell shiftel uneasily in his chair. The conversion was returned, and the Hon. Tom recommends her majesty to make up a trip to the Yellowstone park, assuring her if she shonld abandon for a while her old Balmoral and Frqginore and effete Windsor and try it she would come

back from hor trip as bull?aeaded aaa bear and sis brown as a berry.' 'My God!' exclaimed Mr. Lowell under his breath, 'if I only had a dozen New York policemen here to kill the Texas steer as a measure of safety. They might do it in twenty-four or twentyfive hours.' The queen burst into tears, but, refipvering herself with flattering condesension, said: 'Ah, well, really, Mr. Ochiltree, scenery is all very fine. But, after all, sir, as a statesman, don't yon think the grandest thing, your country has done was the abolition of Blavery, and that dear Mr. Lincoln did?' 'Mr. Lowell tarned pale and groaned, for he saw the hidden possibilities involved iri the answer to the question. The queen's Ique&tion gave the new member of congreeajust the opportunity he wanted. 'Yes,

rvras

vqu

are right,

Mrs. Gtwflph,' said he, nn! &tying that the emancipation of the riave.was the

ndest act of thenineteeath century, the grandest act, because it cost more lives of whiter men than all the niggers in the world are, $r ever will be worth! But, madam, you err in supposing that Abraham Lincoln, wise and good as he was, alone emancipated the negro. Madam, you never heard of old John Brown,"did you? John Brown, who died execrated and de spised by the people of the south and regretted only by a few people of his own sort in the north.' Mr. Lowell gasped for breath and faintly muf mured: 'This is simply awful! don't see how war is to be avoided What shall I say to Mr. Freelinghuy sen for bringing on this entanglement? War, war, war, and we've got no navy!' Tom was not going, and he was bound to make a brilliant peroTation if it was the last act of his dissipated career. He saw nothing in the plainly apparent emotion of the queen. 'Yes, your majesty, the work begun by John

It Hi

Brown at arper'0 Ferry, when he by the marines'—'Sir,' interrupted the queen of England, 'Mr. Brown was never in the place you call Harper's Ferry in his life, and if he had I would like to have caught any marines laying their hands on him. I'd have made it hot for them by my hadlidom 1' 'Oh, ves he was. Highness,' said Tom. 'I say the work begun by John Brown at Harper's Ferrv culminated at the close of our long" and bloody struggle When the echoes of the guns had died away 100,000 veterans of the Army of the Potomac marched down Pennsylvania avenue singing in chorus. I'll try and give you the air: 'John Brown's body lies a mouldering In the grave,

was captured Dy

But his soul goes marching on.' "The queen uttered one prolonged shriek, and fell fainting1 to the floor." "Exit Mr. Lowell and Mr. Ochiltree."

A colored dramatic company could not find hotel accommodations at VicksburR, Mich., and they were obliged to take a freight train for Kalamazoo, where they found shelter with some members of their own race.
