Samuel E. McKinley, of St. Louis, is the plaintiff, and the Mother Superior of St. Ursuline Academy of Louis ville. the defendant. McKinley's daughter, a'girl twelve or fifteen years ot age, was- placed in the Ursuline Academy in 1S67. The Mother Superior now refuses to surrender her to her father, on the ground that he is unfit to care for her. People who pretend to know say that the true secret of the contest over the girl is the fact that she will, on the death of her grandfather, come into possession of a fortune amounting to not less than a million of dollars. The Cincinnati Chronicle says another big job the Sutro Tunnel Bill" has been introduced into the House by Mr. Ashley, of Nevada. Parties interested have been working it up for some time. They have concluded, we presume, that the machinery is properly oiled now, and that the tunnel will go through Congresses easily as the contractors will be aie to go through the tunnel after it is completed. The estimates only call for an expenditure of a few millions, which is nothing to a people and Government like ours, whose burdens are so light and growth so rapid. The "Corrupt Correspondence." The eagerness with which Democratic papers seize upon the resolution offered by Judge Hughes in the Stattf"6enate, calling upon Governor Baker for a certain private letter ad. dressed to him by Mr. Cgjiback previous to the lat Republican State Convention, ought to convince Republicans of the folly of such proceedings. That the Democracy misrepresent all the facts in the case occasions no surprise. It would be surprising if they did otherwise. As a sample of the statements circulating through Democratic papers, we clip the following from the Cincinnati Enquirer, which it prints under the head of Indianapolis Correspondence: In the Senate this afternoon, there was an exciting discussion on the resolution to call out the correspondence between Cumback and Baker, while the former was acting Lieutenant Governor. Judge Hughes said the paternify of the resolution was not with the Democratic side of the Senate, but it came from Republicans and he assumed the responsibility. From the representation made by Hughes, the letter of Cumback was a proposition to administer on the estate ot Morton when it wa3 thought he was about shuffling off this mortal coil. Cnmback offered, in consideration of Baker appointing him Senator to the unexpired vacancy, that he would withdraw from the contest for the nomination for Governor. This the Governor indignantly declined to consider. Mr. Hughca regarded this proposition as an attempt to influence the Governor by corrupt considerations, and therefore demanded an investigation. He believed that these facts would not be developed by the publication of the correspondence, but he believed the charges to be true. Mr. Cumback's friends profess a willingness to let the letters see daylight, and a confidence that he would be vindicated from all improper motives. The Senate passed the resolution requesting Governor Baker to furnish a copy ot the correspondence, by a vote of twenty-five in the affirmative. The vote was not partisan. Republicans voting for, and Democrats against it, because they thought the Senate had no right to require the publication of private letters. We do not believe there is any newspaper correspondent at Indianapolis ot average intelligence who does not know that Mr. Cumback's letter did not refer to Senator Morton at all. The existence of the letter, and, in the main, its contents, were known to Republicans at the time of the State Convention. Some, who are now active in the effort to defeat Mr. Cumback for the Senate, attempted, ' both directly and indirectly, to defeat his nomination for .Lieutenant Governor by the same instrumentality, at that Conventior. One would suppose, from the virtuous indignation manifested by certain politicians: whose past history, of course, places thain above susDicion, aod entitles their great thing efforts to purify politics to consideration that such a as one aspirant proposing to another a plan by which the aspirations of both might be gratified, was a new thing under the sun. But everybody with intelligence enough to read a newspaper knows that this thing has been going on from the very foundation of the Government. The correspondent of the Enquirer says the vote on the adoption of Mr. H cghes' resolution was not partisan Republicans voting for and Democrats voting against it. The following was the vote on the passage of the resolution: Yeas Andrews, Beardaley. Bradley, Carsoo, Cravens, Fisher, Fosdick lreen, Henderson, lies. Hooper' Huey, Huffman, Hughes, Humphreys' Johnson, of Montgomery: Kinley, Laseile, Lee, Morgan. Reynolds, Shflrrod, Srein, Tagnart, Turner, and Wolcott 26. Nays Armstrong, Bellamy, Case, . Caven, Church, C5iley, Eliott, Gifford. Grav. Hadlev. Hamilton. Houghton, Jaquess, Johnson, of Spen cer; luce, -Tigmnson, ot Madison; ioDinson, oi Decatur: Scott, and Wood 19. We have scrutinized the list of nays

pretty closely, and we find the name

of only one Democrat among them. Did he vote nay with the full assurance that the resolution would pass anyhow, in order, by his vote to proride for the statement of .the Enquirer that Democrats voted against the resolution? It looks so. Carl Schcrz. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial gives what he expects people to accept as a pen and ink portrait of Carl Schtjrz. He says : Carl Schurz is a man of great talent; indeed, I my say that he is a man of genius. But he has no more heart than a hollow turnip. Nature, true to herself, has harmonized his outer man with his inner parts, and it i9 not lovable. Tall, thin, and angular, he looks like a hawk in illhealth ugly enough to scare horses, and as self-opinionated and egotistical as that elongated agony, the pronoun " I," always is when endowed with two legs and set in motion. Nevertheless, I would like to see Carl ia the Senate. His brain-proud votes and speeches would srir up the heavy dullness of the chamber like a huge forty-pounder booming throueh the fog of a morning. He would stick up like a whale's bask from an even sea of sameness. His phase of character is never so onensive as when it comes in the German type. The German seem' to aggravate the evil. Egotism is offensive at all times, but egotism in German is enough to make saints howl, and Carl is" personally unDonular. and having no money to spend, I supp03e we will not see him uj the Senate. Carl Schuhz's history proves him to be a man of intense sympathy and affection. EEis sacrifices and success ful efforts to liberate his preceptor and friend, Kinkel, from one of the dungeons in Germany, demonstrated that he was a true mend and cad a big heart. He may be egotistical most smart people are not excepting the Commercia l's correspondent afore said. This correspondent is also mis taken with reference to General Schurz's finances. Our information is to the effect that the General has plenty of money to spend, but that he is too proud and has too much self-respect to spend it to secure a seat in a body that is already dis graced by men who obtained their places through so discreditable an instrumentality. Huanclal. The regular Washington correspondent of the Toledo Blade concludes a lengthy letter upon the various financial plans submitted to Congress, as follows: In short, whatever may be said of other plans, it in clear to me that Mr. Mortou will succeed. We should begin to redeem, however, not at the end of two yeaas, but whenever the gold reserve shall amount to the sum deemed sufficient, or when (taking Mr. Morton's figures as a guide) the snai of two hundred millions has been accumulated. There may be a little stringency while this sum is in course of accumulation, but I do not see why it should amount to anything like the disturbance suggested by Mr. Greeley. If it has to be drawn, to any extent, from abroad, it will shorten up our imports to that amount, but nothing further. As gold does not enter into our currency as circulation, hoarding it will be like hoarding flour or corn. The first teudenjy will be to make it dear, but this wilt be counteracted by the approaching measures of resumption, a cause which will grow stronger and etronger as we near the time. Then when the necessary amount of gold is secured, and we finally come to resumption, there will not be, as Mr. Morton suggests, an inflation, because a dollar of the currency redeemed will be replaced by exactly a dollar of gold, and the amount in circulation will be precisely the same as before. Nor can I see that there will be any other change of values than this: goods imported will have fallen as the difference between gold and ereenbacks has diminished; and the knowledge of this fact will more or le?s affect the amounts ordered. I confess I do not see why the banks should noc resume at the same time with the Government. There will be gold enough in the Treasury to replace the greenback reseserves, and it would seem that the banks should stand precisely in the same condition that they are at present. But delay will endanger nothiog,and I ratherinler that they would resume without waiting the compulsory time. It Beems to me, therefore, that the friends of resumption may safely rally around Gov. Morton as his plan is clearly safe, and will work out the desired result without the "plunges" eo often predicted. A Gigantic Project. Mr. Edwin L. Brady, late Engineer in the United States Navy, has matured a plan for doing away with the East River at New York. He thinks that the ruin of the harbor, if the East River remains open, is imminent and inevitable. To save the harbor he has projected a dike from the South Ferry across the Bhallows to Brooklyn. This dike he would have several hundred feet wide, with ample dock room, and space for streets and warehouses. The docks on the upper side would accommodate the Sound steamboats and Eastern commerce. Those on the lower side the various lines of ocean steamers. From these docks and the warehouses Mr. Brady calculates an income which. In a few years, would pay the cost of the whole work, which be estimates at $16,000,000. He anticipates some oppostion to the project from the Eastern States, but thinks the advantages to New York and the West are more than sufficient to compensate for any damages which might be done to the trade and commerce of New England. Inmates of the Soldiers' Home, near Washington, complain that the garden vegetaDles which they cultivate on tho grounds of the institution are chiefly appropriated by the Surgeon General and other army officers in the Departments. They dislike being foraged upon and left destitute in this way, and appeal to Congress for protection. Army men in the De partments are by far the best paid officials in Government employ at Washington. Can it be that, in addition to this, they turn bummers, and prey upon the veterans under their care? Gin. Cftronicle. The Detroit Tribune grinds out this short hymn oh Johnson's amnesty proclamation: Blow ye the train pet, blow The scarce expected sound' Let all the traitors know. ' To earth's remotest bound. That Jobnson's Jubilee has come Reinrn, ye sneaking rebels, home.

A E1CT SKETCH.

Mnllle. the Wickedest Woman In the West She Is Married and Sent to Cheyenne. A correspondent sends the Kanka kee (111.) Gazette the following lively sketch : Everybody in Kankakee knows Mollie. To those of our readers who are bo unfortunately circumstanced as to be compelled to live away from ivanfcakee, we will say that Mollie had no other name. She never had a father, nor mother, nor brother or sister, that anybody ever knew of. She never had a home outside the county jiL She was brought here in 1861, from New York, fche never knew what a school was; she never heard a sermon; she never was inside of a church; she never heard of a Sunday School; she never heard a kiod word spoken; she never was sober a moment when she could get whisky, and she could always get whisky when she could get out of jail; and she was always out of jail when she made so much disturbance that the jailor could not keep her in; and she was always in jail when she made so much disturbance out that she could not be endured. She was a Republican by profession, and a Democrat by instinct. She swore the mo3t terrific oaths with greater volubility of tongue than could be done by any person who lived outside of Chicago. She talked the vilest, and sang the worst songs, she was filthy as the lowest, and slept out doors more nights, and in doors fewer night'-than any other being who ever When it rained the fastest and froze the deepest, Mollie would get the drunkest, and was then the happiest. She would have been an excellent subject for the late Social Science Convention to have operated the social evil out of her, for she had a great deal of it. The police feared her: the Police Court detested her; the Common Council made ungallant remarks when they audited bills marked " Diet for Mollie in county jail," and these bills they audited at every meeting; and the jailor was known on several occasions to make use of downright profane language when he saw the police and the irrepressible Mollie marching, arm in arm, up to the jail door. What she lived for nobody knew. That she would not die, everybody knew. "So wicked, though young, so mouldering away, Like tlie dog in the story each dos bag Its day,' That ueatb, in Its ravages, was passing her o'er, Supposing; uo doubt l:e had killed her before." But he had not, and Mollie still lives, a wonderful instance of the perverseness of woman refusing to do that which everybody thought she oucht to do die. Mollie was not the only wicked person in this city. There was a "Jim," an aboriginal Momence', of whooi but little is known here; but unless nature lied in Jim's face, head and general make-up, he was worse, wickeder and lower than Mollie. Ho made tha acquaintance of Mollie in jail, while confined on a charge of stealing nine drinks of whisky Iroin an Alderman in Momence. That they courted, is true; whether they loved or not is not knows. She begged to be released from jail, and promised to marry and emigrate to Cheyenne. Tho Common Council voted Mollie a new dress, and the happy couple sixty dollars to pay their fare on their matrimonial trip. They repaired to the office of the Police Court. The Police Magistrate has an original way of doing things. They sai d they wished to be married. The Magistrate, with uplifted hand, said : Jim, you agree to take Mollie, and live with her, and go to Cheyenne with her, and stay with her regardless of law and consequences?" " Yes." " Mollie, you do agree to take Jim, and live with him, and go to Cheyenne with him, and stay with him, irregardless of law and consequences?" -Yes." '" Then I give you these two railroad tickets, and order you to stay there until the vigilance committee doth hang you both. Amen." And Jim and Mollie took their departure. DR. J. W.
