It was this: "There is one cry that is always taken op on occasions like this, and that is, that capital is timid, and a great many people pet scared at soraethinf. and don't know what they are scared ak This timidity of capital business is a great, hi 2 stuffed club. It isn't trne, and if it were it Isn't pertinent. Capital is not timid. It was not timid when we fonght the war. -It is not . timid in tacklintr the desert, or the mountain, or the isthmus or the jack-pot, or a paper lord, or anything else that I know of.

MISS TAKZANDT AND HER HEE0.

Sho Thinks Spies the Equal of Kossuth, and Would Marrj Him on the Gallows. PrrTSBtTKG, Jan. 18. The reports sent out from this city that Mrs. John Arthur and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, were seriously prostrated and very ill on account of the refusal of Miss Nina Vanzandt, their granddaughter, of Chicago, to break off her marriage engagement with August Spies, are greatly exaggerated. Reporters were refused admittance to the palatial residences of Mrs. Arthur and Mr. Clarke, but an intimate friend of the family statad to-night that although the family were greatly annoyed and chagrined, they were in their usual health. One of Miss Vanzandt's relatives in this city received a letter to-day from that young lady in which she says: "I am determined to marry the condem ned Anarchist if I have to do so on the scaffold." She said "that she understood that society in Pittsburg and elsewhere was greatly shocked at what it called her disgraceful action. "Would you call it disgrace, in your bygone d.ays," she says, "if you learned that a girl who worshipped true heroism as I do had married Eossuth or Garibaldi! August Spies is their equal in every particular, and loved liberty just as greatly as they; but, like they, he has to suffer from the oppressor. Did you think Robert Emmet a criminal because he died on the scaffold? Some did. It is the same with August Spies at present He is called a murderer and assassin, but one day he will , be looked on as a martyr." She says that she loves the Chicago Anarchist with all her heart, and she knows he will never be executed. She refers to Carl Schurz as one who was looked down upon in his own country, came to this land, and held hish positions. It is now the same with Spies. Miss Vanzandt inclosed a photograph of Spies, on which was written in her own handwriting, "A cruel country's martyr, but my hero." Mr. and Mrs F. T. Lust, of Oakland, also near relatives of Miss Vanzandt, say they never thought that iady capable of committing such an outrageously foolish act, and now disclaim all relationship to her. Miss Vanzandt's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, are both over eighty years of age, and feel what they term the "disgrace" very keenly. A Marriage in Name Only. Chicago, Jan. 18. Miss Nina Vanzandt, the young woman who is announced to be married to the condemned Anarchist, August Spies, took out the nsual form of marriage license, this forenoon, at the'office of the county clerk. She was accompanied by Capt William P. Black, the chief counsel for the Anarchists. The pair did not know the location of the office of the county clerk, and by mistake entered the insane department of the county court, and after inquiring for the clerk, discovered their mistake, and were directed to the proper office, accompanied by the smiles of the officials of the insane department When Miss Vanzandt called upon Spies at the jail, this morning, she found him in conversation with Miss E. Constance Lock, who lives in Calumet avenue, and who is said to hare taken an interest in the fate of Spies. Sheriff Matson, in whose custody Spies is, said tt-nlght: "Although I have read reports in the papers about the contemplated marriage of Spies and Miss Vanzandt, it was not' nn til today that the matter came bafore me officially. This afternoon Captain Black called At myofSce. The marriage license had just been obtained. He requested that permission be eiven for the occupancy of the insane court-room during the marriage ceremony. I think he said that Judge Prendergast had consented to this programme. I told Captain Black that I certainly should not allow Spies ta go out of the jail. Then I said tbat Dublic sentiment was opposed to the marriage, and that I did not think those who aided or abetted in it would be blameless; that the public '.ooked upon the proposed marriage as a disgraceful affair, and that the clamor against it would increase. Captain Black said that Thursday morning had been decided upon, and the wedding must take place. While Captain Black was pres-. ent, Mr. P. T. Johnston, the young lady's cousin, cataA into- th ffis and showed me a heartbroken letter from Mrs. Arthur, the Pittsburg aunt Mr. Johnston begcred Captain Black to use nis innuence to bring iuiss Vanzandt to reason, and failing in that, to have some legal restraint put -upon her. I am not able to say positivelr," the Sheriff continued. what I shall do in case the voung lady actually comes to Spies's cell on Thursdav mornng determined to be married to hira. I am in hopes that before that time she will -have come o her senses. To-day I consulted with Judge Gary and State's Attorney Grinnell in regard to leeality of the marriage, and both said, in substance, that there was no law . prohibiting it. f hey have the legal right to marry. I have, how ever, tne arbitrary right to prevent the marriage. As custodian of the jail and the prisoners, I have the right to exclude visitors when I feel that a visit from them should not be allowed. Should the marriage actually take place it will be a marriage in name only, so long as Spies is in my custody." TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. 1 A telegram from Dakota announces the loss, n a blizzard, of C.

The board of officers of the League ot American wneeimen, in session to-day, decided, by vote, to give to the public the reasons for the bitter fight inside the organi zation which was visible in the election of sec retary of the League and editor of the Bulletin. This culminated in the exclusion of the fifteen Pennsylvania proxies and the election of Abbott Bassett, of Boston. Ills leading opponent was John A. Wells, the assistant to the late secreta ry-editor. E. M. Aaron, and holding the office pro tern, after Aaron's resignation. It is said that Aaron was deposed for malfeasance in office, his books and accounts showing an alleged deficit of $5,800. This was afterwards made good by him, with the explanation that at -the time . of appropriating the money ho was temporarily insane. It is alleged that his assistant.. Wells, was cognizant of the deficiency, jet did not report the matter. It is stated that Wells is a member of a Phila delphia publishing house, and tbat he has used his official connection with the League to give it two hundred dollars' worth of League printing per week.

Bassett, a committee to visit Philadelphia to demand possession of the office of the Bulletin, the books of the secretary -editor and other effects of the League now in possession of Aaron and Wells.

New York, Jan. IS. The Sun will to-morrow publish a letter from A. H. Marklaud, of Washmeton. in which he says that after' General Grant's election to the presidency in 1868, ho (Markland) was, through the instrumentality of a prominent citizen, made acauainted withthefact that the President of San Domingo was very aitxions that that island should be acquired bv the United States, and a price for the transfer had been - fixed. Mr. Markald says General Grant knew nothing of the matter until in February, 18G9, shortly before his inauguration, when Markland, in the presence of Gen. John A Rawlin3 and Gen. EliF. Parker, laid the whole matter before hira. Mr. Markland says that General Grant was favorably impressed with it, but said he would have nothme to do with it till after his inauguration, and then only in an official way; and he did not want any of his friends concerned in it. He thought the two governments could negotiate direct. These facts, Mr. Markland says, have never been made public before. Poisoned by Pis Feet. Dayton. O., Jan. 18. The family of Gerhart Stephens bought, some time ago, six pig's feet, which were taken home and pickled. A few days ago the meat was served on the table, and Mrs. Stephens, her husband and a liauchter sixteen years of age ate of the same. In the evening of the same day the father, the mother and the daughter became violently ill, and suffered great nam. lhe rather and mother have partially re covered, but are still in a dangerous state. The daughter is in a very critical condition, and there is but little fcope of saving her life. The physician says that the -patients have all the symptoms of poisoning by strychnine, and be is now examining the meat to determine just what it was that caused the trouble. A dog was fed with the pigs' feet, and died in convulsions. The Coal-Hanf lera Strike. New Youk, Jan. 18 Work at the Delaware.
