LAST YEAR'S EXPENDITURES.

Too much money was expended last year In these departments fpollee and ilrej, more money than the Gazette hopes t© see expended next year.—[Gazette. g||

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The Republicans have nominated a cred liable city ticket.—[Gazette.

Vote the ticket straight and the straight ticket will be elected.

Mr. Wesley Hauck will not lose ten votes by the "high plane" assaults made on him. And, if he has lost ten votes by reason of the slanders of the Gazette, he has gained many times ten votes by these attacks.

Here are some of the items in the

city's expense bill of last year: Fire de'4' 1 partment, $42,198.22 police department, 828,483.45 streets (in all), S20,591.32 electric light, for street lighting, $19,825,68 water, supplying hydrants, $18,830.(53 garbage, for removal, $2,166.58.

Mr. Ward McAllister, who was deposed as a manager of the centennial celebration, is back in New York eojoying the plaudits of the 400, whom he is __L mi-nnQsed to represent, because the champagne he had ordered sloped over while another was in charge of the Fishball and banquet. 3

All this talk of trading votes to-day nrises from the undisguised efforts of Democrats to elect one man—Fitzpatrick. The whole Democratic ticket is to be traded in his behalf. This in itself is *.f on admission that the Democratic ticket ns a ticket can not be elected and that the Republican ticket can be elected. If A for no better reason Republicans to-day if should not permit themselves to be used in a trade for one Democrat's benefit.

Of the §20,591.32 for streets there was expended in the year ending April 13th for repairs, culverts, etc., $17,411.31. This latter amount can be expended recklessly or not. Whether or not it was so expended last year

may

be judged from

the faot that two-thirds of it was expended in less than six months covering the fall campaign and from the day of the election in November until the beginning of the spring campaign the amount can be placed in the cents column.

A number of prominent Boston citizens have united on a plan of benefit for the poor evicted tenants of Ireland which in brief lies in establishing and -encouraging industrial pursuits in Ireland. The

Bhares

of a stock company to

be organized for the purpose are to be Bold in this country. Here is the American idea of home induBtry carried into the enemy's country, indeed. It is an instructive lesson for those of our free trade friends who love the free trade policy of Great Britain.

Of all the "high plane" campaign tactics of the Democratic Gazette, the sensational paragraph yesterday to the effect that Mr. Greiner had been appointed postmaster reached the depths of triokery. The purpose was to arouse a feeling of disappointment somewhere among Republicans, but it fell short. There was no/'higheat authority" for the announcement. Mr. Greiner may be appointed or he may not, but the Gazette announcement was so transparent a triokthat it evoked more of contempt for the newspaper than any other sentiment.

If there was no other reason for believing that the whole effort of the Democracy to-day, that is of the managers of the campaign, will be to elect Fitzpatrick by the sacrifice of all other candidates, it ia to be found in the course of the Gazette, which newspaper was evidently in the scheme some months ago when it began its insidious fight on all other Democratic aspirants for the nomination by repeatediy declaring that Fitzpatrick alone was to be considered as the Democratic nominee. Its policy was to ignore all other Democrats, whether as candidates for the office of treasurer or any other position in the city government while all of its

venom baa been ejecUd on th* Republican opponent of Fitzpatrick* It bu not undertaken to spit oat it* poison any other Republican candidate.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Detroit Tribune: How much longer Is Boulanger going to star up a tree and tell his rrlends on the ground not to be afraid?

St Louis Globe-Democrat: It should not be forgotten that one of the leading features of Washington's philosophy of patriotism was a Arm belief In the doctrine of the protective tariff.

Philadelphia Press: The public service Is runnine along harmoniously and satisfactorily notwithstanding the fact that the civil service commission still lacks two members. The people are gradually realizing that the best civil service commission ever put into operation is a Bepublican administration.

Chicago Tribune: The state senate has passed a bill requiring that all school children "of suitable age" shall be "Instructed In physiology and hygiene, with special reference to the effects of alcoholic beverages, stimulants, and narcotics on the human system." No teacher is to be given a certificate who cannot pass a satisfactory examination on these points. The Spartan fashion of giving this kind of instruction was simpler. They used to get a Helot drunk and then let the Spartan children see what sort of a beast alcohol made of a man. The principle of this bill Is well.

Detroit Free Press: The centennial anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington as the first president of the United States has come and gone. The day was declared a national holiday, and in most of the states, by the operations of the laws thereof, was made a legal holiday. This special mark applies only to the 30th of April just passed but It would be an excellent thing if It were made to apply to the 30th of April In every fourth year hereafter, and If this were fixed upon as the date at which the presidential term should begin, and upon which the Inaugural ceremonies (with the exception now observed as to Sunday) should occur.

ADMIRAL PORTER'S DEFENSE.

Be Produces a Letter Which is a Refutation of Butler's Charge. NEW YORK, May 6.—The Times' Wash­

ington Bpecial says: Admiral David D. Porter's attention was called to-day to a dispatch from Boston Btating that General B. F. Butler had declared that tbe admiral was the person to whom he referred when in his eulogy of Farragut, Wednesday, the general spoke of "his brave officers, all save one, the high officer who ran away." Admiral Porter had no desire to engsza ia.any controversy witb General

nor 1

about the

latter's accusal^Pt-hat he played the coward at the battle of New Orleans, but as an answer, which he regarded as amply sufficient to meet General Butler's charge, he gave out the following official letter:

NAVY DEPARTMENT, May 10,1862.

Sir: Your dispatch of April 30, inclosing the articles of capitulation ot Forts Jackson and St. Philip, which surrendered on the 28th, after the bombardment of one hundred and forty-four consecutive hours by the mortar flotilla, has been received I bave also to acknowledge the receipt of the flags taken In the two forts on that occasion, Including the one originally hoisted on Fort St. Philip, when the Confederate forces declared the state of Louisiana to have seceded from the Union, which have been sent forward to the department. The Important part which you have borne iu the oganlzatlon of the mortar flotilla, and the movement on New Orleans, has Identified your name with oue of the most brilliant naval achievements on record, and to your able assistance with the flotilla Is Flag Officer Farragus much Indebted for the successful results he has accomplished. To yourself and the officer and seamen of the mortar tloUlla, this department extends Its congratulations. I am tespectfully,

Gideon Wkllks.

To Commander David D. Porter, commanding United States mortar flotilla, etc.

Admiral Porter refuses positively to say more than this in the way of controversy With General Butler. The matter has not now been brought for the first time, but has been again and Again discussed by persons iwho evidently desired to lead Admiral Porter into a defense of himself. He has nothing more to say than he has already said.

New County Bridges. .V

These are the spans tor the new iron draw bridges to be built for the river bridge west of the city two fifty-foot spans for Otter creek, near Moore's farm, about one-quarter of a mile from Fontanet one fifty-foot span over Prairie creek, near Moore's farm, three and one-half miles from Pimento, on the E. & T.

It Wasn't Fanny Davenport's Brother. BOSTON, May 6.—Mr. Edgar L. Daven­

port, lof the Botson museum company, was sean this morning and shown the dispatch from San Francisco, announcing the suicide of one William Henry Davenport, who, theldispatch says, was a son of the late E. L. Davenport and a brother of Fanny Davenport. Mr. Davenport said the statements were erroneous. "I have but one brother," he said, "Harry B. Davenport, who is in New York, and two sisters, Fanny and May. This man I do not know."

A Runaway.

A horse ran away with a buggy on Fourth street, yesterday, and narrowly missed a buggy in which Mrs. John Nugent was driving. The running horse was going south, and Mrs. Nugent and Dr. Weinstein were compelled to drive their buggies oil the sidewalk by the city building to prevent collisions. The name of the driver of the horse was not learned. The buggy struck a poet at the corner of Fourth and Walnut streets and was badly wrecked.

AN AUSTRALIAN BONANZA QUEEN. One of the most remarkable women of the present day is Miss Alice CornweU* says the Otago (New Zealand) Times. Born in England, she, at the age of 9, came over with her father and mother to New Zealand, where, until the age of 17 she remained, unconsciously preparing herself schoalastically at a ladies' school in Duuedin (Mrs. May's Manor Lodge school) for subssquent enterprises which were to startle the whole world.

She was not at school considered a very brilliant girl, neither did she, in those days, possess extraordinary personal attractions. But she gained for herself the smcerest friendship and warmest esteem of her companions, in whose minds Alice was associated with goodness and amiability. Miss Corn well remained in Danedin until she was 1, and when she bade good-by to New Zaaland, to accompany her parents to Victoria, she left behind her ties and friendships which, to-day, remain unshaken and unaltered. The stranger, on introduction, does not detect in ner manner aught savoring of self-conscious-ness or of affectation.

No one who knew not of her fame would imagine her, from external indications, to be tbe possessor of three quarters of a million sterling. She is SB polite ana agreeable in manner to a niny a nobleman.

The subject of this notice married in Victoria an old man, a member of parliament, by name John Whiteman. The union does not ai

'he

,r, however, to have

been a singularly happy one, from the circumstance that the pair have been living apart for the last ten years. And her parents in order to get her away from surroundings which .must necessarily have been unpleasant and distasteful to her, sent her to a college in London, where for a time she devoted herself assiduously to the study of music and art, and where, subsequently, she published three or four songs.

But after .passing several examinations in music and gaining honors in literature, her academic career was suddenly brought to an untimely end one morning by her receiving from Mr. Cornwell a cablegram announcing the death of her mother (whose dying injunction was that Alice Bhould resume her maiden name) and a request that she would return to Victoria. Her father was in Ballarat at this time, and had become heavily involved in mining speculations. He had sunk £40,000 in an estate he leased from Sir William Clarke, and had no return.

It was at this time that the energy and determination of character of Miss Cornwell firs' displayed themselves, and to some extent shadowed forth the brilliant career, the beginning of which was soon to follow in the wake of these events.

Mr. Cornwell's misfortunes would appear to have brought about an abnormally phenomenal change in his daughter's entire character, and from the dreamy, sentimental "young woman, whose interest was concentrated in her studies, she suddenly became a matter-of-fact woman of the world, full of ambition, imagination and energy. She had the interests of her family at heart, and devoted her whole time to thinking out projects which should retrieve their fallen fortunes. She felt that the only way by which she could successfully accomplish this would be, to use her own words, "to make the estate in which her money had been sunk return."

So, having posted herself up in all the geological details of the gold field, and having, after, much inquiry,, satiated herself that gold did exist in its vicinity, she formulated a plan by which she could carry her scheme into effect.

Money was borrowed and a shaft sunk, and within a foot of the point she had indicated the course of the lead was struck. This was the starting point of her mining career. Soon after she became connected with numerous other mining companies in New South Wales, but in no instance where she had not personally inspected and approved the claim.

The idea of revisiting London in the interests of gold mining was suggested to her by the late Lady Brassey, then on a tour of the colonies, who pointed out the facilities and advantages she would meet with in the great metropolis for floating mines of such a character as the Midas. The lady also invited Miss Cornwell to visit her should she repair to London.

Home, accordingly, she went, and Midas—subscribed for live times over—was* floated by her for £180,000, of which the shareholders received £150,000 net. ThiB enterprise it wae, of course, that made Miss Cornwell so publicly known.

Miss Cornwell returned to Australia in April of last year, chiefly for the purpose of (to use her own words) "assisting the management in handing over the leases quickly to the new company." Having done this,Bhe journeyed through Queensland for the purpose of obtaining information for her popular London paper, the Sunday Times. During this trip the Wyong estate—which she thoroughly inspected and explored—was purchased by her for £252,000. The estate covers an area of 17,000 acres a railway line runs through it.

There is a froutage to a lake of twelve miles and a frontage to a river of fourteen miles. In some parts of the estate there is a rich loam thirty or forty feet in depth, and it possesses, moreover, an abundance of the finest timber in New South Wales—cedar, mahogany, etc. From geological reports it is estimated that there are 280,000,000 tons of gas coal on the estate, and the profit on this, if worked, is further estimated, in round figures, at thirty million pounds.

On it area railway station and a township already surveyed. Miss Cornwell contemplates raising £1,000,000 in London for the purpose of working and developing this property, and she hopes in two years to see on it in full work four sawmills and four collieries. So sanguine is she of the ultimate success that will attend the developing and working of this property that she has decided to retain for herself one third of the shares of the company Bhe is about to float in London, and particulars of which and of other things will be subjoined in another article.

Numerous other ventures are engaging the mind and attention ot Miss Cornwell at the present moment, but with them we bave neither space nor time to deal. It may be mentioned, however, that she has partners in London, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, as well as private offices in each of theee places.

Miss Cornwell is at 30, if not a prepossessing woman, at least not unhandsome. Her face and features, somewhat irregular and undefined, it is true, harmonize well with her symmetrical and well defined figure, which is inclined rather to be embonpont than slender. Her principal charms lie,perhaps, in the trueness of her eye and her gracious well bred manner. Those qualities it was, no doubt, that assisted her materially in London in floating "Midas." No one could look into eyes like hers and doubt

the troth at far vttanaM*. Bat she hi i4tisi ilisi mm

siill

She hsseeoCt, womanly Toioe, which even blind am would associate with a character singnlarly earnest and sincere. High intellectual attainments, preceptive faculties of high order, strong and humane feelings, aod kindliness of disposition go to makeup* character harmoniouaijr combining qualities that are unfortunately rarely ever met within a single individual. Such is Alice Cornwell at 30 such is her career thus far.

Much interest is attracted just now in the latest of Miaa Cornwall's plucky commercial ventures a new saaelter invented by two Germans from Freiburg, named Icke and Grosbernd, who are Miss Cornwell's practical partners in the concern. One smelter has been erected tbe in New South Wales court of the exhibition, and one by the courtesy of the directors on the Broken Hill south mine at Broken hilL

Should Miss Cornwell's smelter revive Broken hill many an aching heart will have reason to thank the gnat spirit of fearless enterprise which charaoteriz9s this lady, who, with all ber speculative nature,' has method, shrewd foresight and much common sense in her calculations.

THE "ARIZONA KICKKK" OUTDONt

The Goldsboro, K. C., Headlight Editor Writes AtmatThat CleTeland Interview.

lie New .York World prints the following communication called out by Mr. Cleveland's letter in which he denied that he had 6*id he win no longer in politics:

GOLDSBOKO,

N. C., May

3.—The

inter­

view we had recently with ex-President Cleveland, and whioh at the time waa published in the Headlight, has been largely copied by the most prominent papers throughout the oountry. Only a day after the interview was given, the Associated Press reporters ana correspondents of the metropolitan press called upon Mr. Cleveland, who then did not deny a single paragraph. If Mr. Cleveland, after a lapse of nearly four weeks, brands our report as°Minaccurate and misleading," then we are at a loss to know how to brand Mr. Cleveland.

Mr. Edward A. Oldham, who, by the way, hasn't much business of his own to attend to, if we should judge from the poverty-stricken appearance of his paper, the Charleston World, seemed to be very much worried because Mr. Cleveland invited the editor of thatu obscure little North Carolina weekly" to accompany him while the ex-president and his party were passing through Goldsboro. We thought that Mr. Oldham would be tbe last man to belittle North Carolina weeklies, as the adage is, "Those who live in glass houses must not throw stones." The editor of the Charleston World now Eeems-to think more of himself than other people do, in this state especially. He edited "small-fry" country papers for several years and in every instance had to retire from the field, unpraised, unhonored and unsung. How long the Charleston World will exist we are unable to tell, but our word for it, that small local weekly will outlive its contemporary. Mr. Oldham seems to possess very little confidence in newspaper interviews, because all the news he sends out from South Carolina for tbe entertainment of Northern readers are .cooked up yarns. The most trifling events occurring in South Carolina he manufactures as tragedies in "high life." In view of the character of that letter, as alleged, written by Mr. Cleveland, we have good reasons to believe that the whole story wss made up ia the Gbtwleatoa yprid^ officeln Order to give the paper a boom which it so badly needs. If the editor of the Charleston World can "clear his skirts," now is the time to do it. On his failure to do so, it will be accepted that "Eddie" has fallen into a "pit" from which there is no getting out

And now to Mr. Cleveland. Can the ex-president deny that he told us "that my public life is at an end?"

Can he deny that he gave us to understand that he is out of the race for the presidency?

Can he deny that he attributed his recent defeat, not to the tariff, but to the bribery and corruption of the Rspublican leaders?

Can he deny that he charged the New York World with not being a Democratic paper?

Can he deny that he asked us if there is any foundation in tbe rumor that Mrs. Harrison has discharged all colored servants from the White house?

Can he deny asking us concerning McDow, the murderer of Captain Dawson, and the public sentiment in Charleston?

Can he deny that he told us that his future life will be devoted entirely to the practice of law in New York?

No. he can not. He is too honorable man to be "guilty of denying his own words. By the solicitation of friends Mr. Cleveland may have lately changed his mind regarding "not being in the race any more," but that doesn't release him of the words he uttered in our presence.

In conclusion we must say that we were, are and always will be a Cleveland man, notwithstanding this little episode.—[A. Roscower, Edt. Goldsboro Headlight.

Prasbftarlaa—Dr.Balnea May Go.

The Rev. James McLwd, D. D., pastor of Henry Ward Beecher's old church in Indianapolis, the Second Presbyterian, to the surprise of the general public announced at the servioee Sunday morning that he determined to resign, owing to unsatisfactory relations with his oongnegation. Some of the most famous preachers of the oountry have been pastors of the church, including, besides Beecher, the Rev. A. W. Bartlett, D.D., now of Washington, and the Rev. Dr. Withrow, now of Chicago. Dr. McLeod will retire from the pulpit in November. He is on terihs of intimate friendahip with President Harrison, and it is believed that he will go abroad as a diplomatic representative of the government, probably to China, where he will be able to give important aid to tbe American missionaries in their work. Another report is that he will be appointed to a chaplaincy in the navy. He was in Washington a few days ago as a guest of President Harrison. He was the pastor of the Buffalo church who took Miss Frances Folsem into the congregation.

The report was circulated that the Rev. M. L. Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian Churob, had received a call to leading Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn. As Dr. Haines has been'in Brooklyn the past two Sabbaths, filling some puljpit-, the rumor was quite generally credited. Dr. Haines has been at the First Church but a short time, and is espsciilly well spoken of by the ministers throughout tbe city. As is generally known, the First Churoh is the one of which General Harrison was a member.

The Indiana Congregational Churches,

The thirty-second annual meeting of the General Association of the Congregational Churches and Ministers of Indiana will take place in this city, at Plymouth Church, beginning on tbe evening of May 8, and continuing three days, the opening sermon being by the Rev. E. C. Evans, of Mayflower Church, this city. On May 9 the general topic will be the church and the children, which will bring out a number of interv eating papers. In the evening a reception will be held with addreeses of welcome. On Friday, May 10, the topics will be for the morning, "Work in the Local Church for the afternoon, "Church Work in the Mission Field." The subject of the afternoon will be continued in the evening.—[Indianapolis News.

Sunday Law in Indianapolis.

For the first time in a year an attempt was made Sunday to enforce the Sunday law against saloons, barber shops and cigar Btande. The superintendent of police notified the several classes Saturday evening that they would be arrested if their places were found open Sunday. So far as outward appearances went, the law was observed, but many of the saloons and cigar stands had their back doors open and customers were accommodated in that way. Four saloonkeepers were caught selling and arrested, but all the other violators were shrewd enough to avoid arrest.
