Kir Albert Grant, a baronet of Gladstone's " make, is building a palace at Kensington, which bid? fair to excel all tbe residences of the neighboring nobility. For his galleries . pictures ot enormous magnitude are said ' already to have been purchased, one costing 170,000. Dr. Knealy, the counsel in the Tichborne case, has issued the first number of a new weekly called "The Englishman.' Its prospectus announces that it "will devote its colmrr.s to politics, to religion, and to law, ; and will also contain a summary of general - news, excluding everything of a mature ' likely to lower or corrupt the dignity of the mind." ; On the 2:'th Inst., one of the oldest newspapers in the world, the Jena Zeitung, will , celebrate its two hundredth birthday. One - of tbe most remarkable facts connected with ' this paper is that during its whole liie it has .never gone oat of tbe hands of. the family which originally started it. Mr. Nenenhahu is tbe name of tbe editor to-day and "two ' hundred years a pro," and tbe paper is one of : the handsomest dailies across the water. : General CHaband-Ltour, who Is investigating . the fortifications around Paris, . thinks that the experience of 1870 proves that the circle of torts is too narrow. As fortified at present it would, he thinks, be an easy thing to throw shot and shell, by tbe improved artillery of late years, into tbe -very heart ot the city; ana he thinks it would take 60,000,000 francs to put Paris la a proper state of defense. While one J. L. Hardy was preaching in . Hethel church, in Bullitt county, Ky ., he was interrupted bythe misconduct of a young . man which caused tbe insulted minister to come out of tbe pnlpit and assault and beat the said party, thereby breaking up tbe con- - gregation in a general row. The civil officers issued a writ lor tbe spunky preacher ' and bad him brought to trial and fined $15 nd tbe coat. Tbe minister was defended by able counsel, but could not preyent him from . being found a piece- breaker. . Four of the six officers of the Turkish army who bave been living In Providence, R.

The Turks are-young men, wealthy and influential in their counj try, and very industrious and persevering in . their efforts to acquire the "United States language." ' Attention has been called to a strange mistake of tUe literary critic' of .the 'Arcadian," published : t in , New , York. Some one inquiring for -the authorship of 'Bingen on the Rhine, the-critic ' says: 'The poem referred to is probably Xong- - fellow's verses, in which occur the words, BlDgtin, fair Bingen on the Rhine.'" The Chicago Tribune then remarks: "If any other paper outside of 2few York city had been uncertain about tbe authorship of Mrs. Norton's poem, we sbonld never have heard ihe last about provincial ignorance,"

The central figure is rroiessor rat ton, tue prosecutor, tie m wo reiircsrutative of docirtnal fanaticism without the usual fanatical enthusiasm, as Professor Swing is the representative of latitndlnarianisrn without its usual aimless direction.

He is in his 38th year, we believe; but, It he should live to be 80 he will be no older than he is now. He will not crystallize nor in tensify with age. He Is a very old young man, ana like most iruitwmcn ripens maturely, he Is acid and bitter. In his personal appearance, although he has been anairttl in theolotrv until he is water-logged Tcith ft h shows all the characteristics of the student. He is thin, spare, wiry and palefaced, with dogged determination maricea in every lineament, and has the thin nostril, nrotmdin chin, sham facial ancle, narrow forehead, ana smaii,Bnarpeye, wuicu uw unusual keenness, perseverance,' and conrpntration rt nurDOse. Ue wascutoui ny natura lor a prosecutor. . He ; would nave made. ' AS ADMIRABLE ISQVISITOR, In physical peculiarities,iindeed, he very closely resembles Calvin. His dress is con ventionally proper, fits him perfectly, and is as much a part of him as his voice. There in no limnness of linen, no creases, no turned up edges, no awkwardness of ad iustment, no shiny spots. There Is no heresy In the raiment, no abrupt departures from ecclesiastical propriety. uiHiiioruu laundress are well schooled and grounded. Notwithstanding his cooluoss and Imperturbability and command of himself. he is very nervous, and, while In ivpose, has the habit oi most nervous people, of biting his fingers. When addressing the Presbytery ha alwavs advances to the same spot, hold' ing a 11: tie blank book in his right hand, in which he keeDS hisown record and the con fession ot laith . ' He sneaks in a uniform tone of voice, sharp, clear, and penetrating, without a particle ot pamos, . ana con fines himself to" a simple eestnre' with the forefinger-of bis left hand, which he brings down upon his book , to indicate his points, , sometimes emphasising . them also with amotion of his head. .Under excitement or loss of temper, he would be a weak man. and he therefore keeps himself well in check, knowing that thereby he is strong. The nearest that he has come to losing his temper was on Thursday forenoon, when he was taxed by one of the Presbyters with having Mr. Goudy's professional assistance, contrary to the rules. Even under such an imputation as this, which was the deadliest arrow that could hve been sbot at his intellectual pride and theological capscity, he only wavered tor an instant, and then was himself again. This iatreliectual pride, which amounts to an almost intolerant arrogance, is really his weak spot, and,.if there had been anv of the Presbyters sharp enough to avail themselves of it, they would have 4 PIERCED THROUGH HK ARMOR at this loose joint. It man it es ted itself in his rfjoinder to Prof. Swing's counsel upon one occasion to the effect that he would not allow his education to be questioned. It shows itself in the manner in which he closes every soeech to the PreVytery. long or shon.hia invariable manner being to h ave It to the common sense ot he Presbytery ,which he does with a quite sneer at the aggregate capacity before him. When driven to a corner, or aware hi mseli thai bis argument may not be complete, some satirical allusion rills out the weak spots. It 1s plain to see that he feels himself lntellectuaJIy superior to the other Presbyters, and is rather astonished that they do not express any admiration for that superior quality ot Presbyterrian brain brought all tbe way from 2s ew York to dazzle Western Presbyters. The Western Presbyters, however, don't dazzle well, but, on the other hand, get in some very tellirfe bits in a veryely way. As long ago as Wednesday, it was -evident to even the most casual observer, that Professor Patton was prosecuting a lost cause, lie, himself, knew it, and be has since that time been simply moving pawns forward and losing them, for the sake of new combinations with tbe larger pieres of the synod and this he has been -doing very skillfully. At the same time, every move has been met with an equally brewd counter-move by the friends of Mr. Swing. Professor Patton is a man who Is of neces sity happiest in conflict. He was born in Bermuda, and has not yet recovered from the influence of tbe storms which sweep about "the vexed Bermoothes." Profnssor Patton is of necessitv a hair-splitter. He was educated by a Jesuit. Professor Patton is of necessity an old school Frosby terian. He holds the McCormick chair cf theology, and is the editor of Mr. McCormien s newspaper. Professor Swing is a new scheol Presbyterian, who can ne?er work in tbe old harness, owing to bis nat ural warmth and sympathy and kindness. For this reason Professor Patton has ibeen set upon hint. PROF, swisa. Prof. Swing, the prosecute i, bin every conceivable respect, physical and mental, the antipodes of the prosecutor. Two men more unlike, it would be difficult to Imag ine. Both men are reverends, botn are professors, and there the resemblance ceases. Although a professor, Mr. Swing is not a theologian. Although a reverend, be wears none of the ministerial badges, and gives no outward sign of his calling. He is oi average height, strong and compactly made, and closely knit in texture. His complexion 1 a healthy bronze, his nose prominent and slightly aquine, hia mouth full, his forehead broad and massive, and his eyes full, clear, and very expressive. Such eyes under such a brow denote that union of strength and grace, of clear thought and graceful fancy, which are characteristic of the man in his sermons. His hair is long, black, . loose and erratic in its tendencies. His costume has tbe easy, neglige style of the scholar, and is typical of the man who wears it, and his soft felt hat, very liable to have a dent in it, and his easy, light-green oveicoat, are just as characteristic ot Profes sor Swing as the faultless necktie and prim waistcoat are of Professor Patton. . In this strocg frame there beats a heart as gentle and syrrpstbetic as a child's and his modesty of demeanor is .almost .feminine. Ue is thoroughly unostentatious and unobtrusive; He shrinks from all this notoriety almost with terror. , Cvuscious that he Is the , ,'" TARGET OF HUNDREDS OF CURIOUS EVES, J he very often seeks to escape them by getting into Bome remote corner,' He is not re gardless of the sympathy, which' ia felt towards him, but his efforts to escape the publie manifestation of it, and his- restlessness under tbe operation of receiving it from some good sister, are sometimes well nigh amusing. Although Dot fearful of the result, and not deposed to swerve a hair's

breadth from the position he haa taken, and surrounded by hosts ot friends, both in the presbytery an i out of it, it is easy to per oeive that all this show, arid parade, and notoriety are exceedingly distasteful to him, and that the heresy trial is a dreadful bore. He will be as happy as a prisoner just released from long durance when it ia over. Of bis demeanor as a party to the trial, ai.d the most deeply interested in it, it is impossible to ssy anything, from the fact that he manifest little interest, and does not appear to have any , more connection with it than the most disinterested Visitor. .Intact, dur Ing tbe larger part of the trial, a stranger wonld have taken him lor a casual passer-by who had strolled in out of curiosity, fltnd was rather disgusted with the show, j He is not even a constant attendaut,but trusts much to his friends, satisfied that bis case is in good hands. That he will be acquitted does not admit of a don bt; but, lithe easels carried up, and another hearing is ordered there is

little prospect that Professor patton win win any new laurels. ' If. in his present tem per, Professor Swing will not be tried again. He will quietly step out, and Patton . will find himself before the synod with no one to prosecute, unless, like the scorpion, he turns and stings himself. 'i UN EARTHED. , ,., ! THE DISTRICT IJV ESTIMATION A STARTLING SERIES OF OVERCHARGES A BIO BLOW FOR SHEPHERD. Washington, May 14. The most dam aging testimony in connection with the Dis trict of ColurrAfia investigation was elicited to-day by the examination of Bleckensdorfer, the expert engineer employed by the com mittee to make measurements around the government property The witness testified that he had followed his profession for thirty years, and had been president and engineer ot the board of public works for tbe State of Ohio. He had also served the government as an engineer at West Point and oh the Pacific railroad. The witness had measured all the circles and in each instance had lound that the government had been overcharged. According to his measurement, the work should have cost 174,780, whereas, according ' to Colonel 8amos' ' measurement, the government had t paid 178,540. . On . Scott square the government has been overcharged 12.000. Bivlne Samo tbe benedt of his own estimate of the grading. On Railroad quare tbe witness measured it to cost r.iL:uo. xt was charged aeainst the government at $22,363, alter allowing 8amo an error, ad mltted to bave been made by bun, or up wards of $14,000 which does not appear in Gov. Shepherds answer, but which Col. Samo alleges has been credited to tbe government and covered into the treasury. The greatest over-charges were in grading. The witness measured New Hampshire avenue and ascertained ' that it should have cost 109.233. but is charged in the governor's answer at AiH, making an exTeitsnrf the charge agarnTbfhe . United States of $ K),231. He found that the contrac tors, in several instances, had been over paid.' .On New Hampshire' avenue they have been paid for work in excess of i WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. - Sulsey, a contractor, was operpakl one thousand dollars. Murray was overpaid five hundred and twenty-eight dollars. The next point the witness measured was Virginia avenue, and took complete notes of the entire avenue, cross sections and profiles. Tbe grading, including tbe reservations at 23th and C streets, is 102,057 yards. There was allowed the contractor lo.i,0G0 yards. The government was charged 104,0i)0 vards at 40 ceDts. Tbe correct charge to the United States government should be $4l09. The overcharge is $10,787. On G street, between Tweuty-fourth arxl Twenty-sixth streets, the witness found the grading 12, 4tr2 yards. The contractor was allowed 1;,23: yards. The government was charged 33,100 yards. The government was overcharged 21,407 yards, or $12,550. The government is also overcharged on a sewer on the work. It is charged tor over three thousand feet, and there are only some seven hundred feet on the work, making a total overcharge of $17,683. The witness explained that the difference in the over-payment was made by paying contractors twice for work at the Intersection of the reservation, at Twentysixth and (3 streets. The government was also made to pay twice for the work on Maryland avenue east. The witness found the grading to lie 221,268 yards,whlle the amount charged the government was for over 257,000 yards. The contractors were allowed $91,165, and the government was charged and paid $92,S30, as its proportien, and more than the entire work cost, as shown by tbe payments to contractors. Tbe government should have paid $02,909. The over-charges paid amounts to $20,920. Tbe witness said that the grading around the patent and post offices, according to the vouchers of tbe board, cost the United States $2.00 per cubie yard for earth remoyed. On Second street, between Pennsylvania avenue and H street, the witness made measurements. He had no notes. He used marks on THE SIDES OF THE BCILDISOS as land marks. He found the grading to be Ö.10G yards. There was allowed to the contractor $23,000, being overpaid $6,652. Tbe witness stated that he had looked at the other work, but had not brought it to a final conclusion, because he could not get tbe data with regard Second street between Indiana and II streets. Its contractor is allowed 21,443 yards. The entire length and breadth of the work charged would have to be excavated three feet and several inches along the entire length to make up the charge, and it does not bear evidence of having been made. Tbe witness said he saw no evidence of rock excavation, which is charged the government, when it is alleged to have been made at one dollar per yard. The government is charged for the grading and the hauling. The government Is charged usually larger by ten cents on excavation and about five cents in hauling than Is paid the contractor. un u street the government Is charged 21 cents more for hauling than was paid the contractor. On Maryland avenoe tbe haul cents. Xbree-roartbs or tbe charge is at 9 cents. The government Is charged tbe whole at la cents. In making his measurements the witness used profiles and notes furnished uy tne board or public works and In approx lmating the cost used the . rates established by the board as paid to contractors. After the recess Blickensdorfer was recalled. He said he had examined the accounts and vouchers in the office of the board of public works and found a loose system of keeping account regarding the measurements. When be first found his results on New Hampshire avenue he asked samo n he could explain the duierences. He answered that he supposed his notes would explain, which - he furnished.' ' He then .' went -.-with. Samo on the ground and pointed out tbe discrepancies, lie answered that be bad to include some old work done before the board of public works came in. - He also called on General Babcock and gave hio an . opportunity to explain, giving him the results he., had obtained. This he did at the instance of the committee. The engineering of the work done in this .vcity ' has i been " very loose, and .without,-due care,.. and . , from the way the work was done, particularly the grading, it is next to Impossible to arrive at accurate results. Colonel Magruder was recalled to explain why he had diverted the bonds appropriated for a specific purpose to the payment ot work foreign to the appropriation. His explanation was that the provisions or tne law naa never been pointed oat to him. No witnesses were ex amined with reference to the sale burglary.

BROOKS ON THE RAMPAGE.-; , HE REFUSES TO DISBAKD HLS TKOOPS H K WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH BAXTER'S LEOLSLATDRE A FRAUD. ; St. Louis, May 12. At a late hour last night the Democrat ' received a special from Little Rock, containing a dispatch irom Jos. Brooks to President Grant, of which tbe fol lowing is the material part: Alter stating that Baxter has declined the propositions of Attorney. General Williams, be says that in conversation with members of the legisla ture they say . that Baxter boldlv proclaims that he will not permit an investigation of his rieht to the omee. 44 You ask me to recognize the call'! the legislature at the. instance of one who declares that ttbe qnc&tion. at 'issue, and Icr which you insist oü its being assembled, shall net be settled nr the tribunal 'you fl sire convened. The attempt at organization made to-day failed, although "persons wer sworn in as members from districts in which no vacancies had been declared. . Both bouses of the legislature now . have i quorum In existence. This quorum shouk pass upon the election returns and ouallnca tion of the newly elected-members instead of the newly elected members themselves, This action I annot and will not willingly submit to. If, in the wee ot the decision ol the Supreme and Circuit courts of the state decidinc: that I am the leeal governor, you can not recqg organize Baxter as governor, it is your duty to assist to suppress the present domestic violence. To disband my troops at this time under no other assurance than is contained in your telegram of to-day, would result in tbe assassination not only of tbe judges of tbe Supreme Court, but of many or my friends, and especially . THE COLORED MEN, who have been guilty of no crime save fidelity to law and order. I shall hold my troops together for the purpose of protecting the citizens of the state, who believe the ex pression of the will of the people at the ballot-box should be enforced, and for tbe protection of those who stand by the constitution, laws and adjuca tion of the courts ot tbe country. Federa! bayonets can put Baxter's legislature in tbe state house, but I am ignorant of the clause of the constitution under which tbe presl dent has the power. Nothing else will, and when there I doubt if vou can compel tbom to determine who is governor. It is time this ijrony of doubt and uncertainty was over. The interests of humanity demand that it shall be settled, and if you have tbe power under tbe constitution and laws of the United States to settle the question of who is governor ot Arkansas, adverse to the deel sion of tbe courts of the state, settle it and settle it at once. I shall not resist what you may order your troops to do, but hall, with all tbe power at my command, repel any ana ail attempts by Baxter's forces to take pos session of the state house. I am confident that a legal quorum of tbe legislature will not respond to Baxter's call, and I shall not assent or be a party to convening tbe legislature under any agreement other than that submitted by yourself, through the attorney general, on the 9th Inst.'

In his eampalgn in Virginia, charged by that general with misconduct in battle, causing tbe defeat which he sustained in the battle of Man assas aaainst superior forces. That a court-mar tial did, on these charges, sentence General Por ter to be casniered and to be incapable lorever of any office of trustor honor ander ike United Ötatew. That this court was hM wben the controling evidence, as now shown was inaccessible; and when great Interests and excited PM-1 Mem, military and political, prevented an Impartial trial. That abla juriats among live most emmlnnnt In the profession in the Uuital states, of both political parties, have examinen the record of the court-martial, and deeiared their dear judgment that the verdict was con trary to evidence, and that the accused ought to have been acquitted.
