CASTELAR'S CONCLUSION.

A Brilliant Pen Picture of the Situa tion in Europe. I A CHARACTERISTIC OP CASTELAR. A READABLE REVIEW OF THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS ON THE OTHER . SIDS OF THE OCSAX. '-. The New York Herald of . Tuesday pub lishes along letter from Castelar concerning the situation in Europe and editorially refers to it as follows: The election of the brilliant and illustrious Castelar to the Cortes from Barcelona gives him a new prominence in the politics c f Spain. A little more than two years ago and he was the chief ol tbe Spain republic, the leader of tbe liberal party in Spanish, tne eras orator ot the cation and among the first orators ol the world. A young man orator, journal 1st, university professor, revolutionist whose eloquence hod contributed to tbe downfall ot Amadeus and the emancipation of slavery in Porto Klco, his Influence, which Beemed absolute, began to wane when be really attained poer. For a short time he was president oi the Spanish republic. Tnere was everything in his presidency but strength. Tbe extreme republlcns, who had followed, him with affec tionate adulation, rebelled because he would not overturn society in a day, because he asked all Spaniards to return to Spain; be cause he was willing to deal with the army and tbe church as established institutions pillars ot tbe state and necessary to its safety. Castelar's dream of a republic was too bright to last. His presidency had tbe splendor and, we .regret to cay, the evanes cence of a Mediterranean sunset. The re publican party quarrelled and dissolved, The church, the army and the aristocracy waited their time, and one morning a mill' tary detachment expelled the cones, took possession of tbe capital and - CALLED TO THE THRONE CHE BOT ALF05S0, now king of Spain. While all who belisved in liberty and republican institutions mourned over the fall ol the republic, and while stern radicals hreconcilables ol the school of Pi y Margal looked with con tempt upon the beautiful : and brief experi ment, Castelar carried from his presidency the respect of tbe. world. He had sought to found a practical republic; to adapt tne new Ideas to old conditions; to make possible even to narrow, torpid, moss-covered Spain with traditions that tad become laws, with laws that represented the power of an absolute church and an arrogant proud aristocracy a law-abiding republic, How difficult this problem we can not imagine in our free and fresh America, where we had but to throw the seed into tbe virgin soil and leave the fruit to time and tbe seasons. The republican problem in Europe, and more especially in Spain, is surrounded with tbe nardest conditions. There are old and powerful and respected institutions to be considered the army, the church, tbe peerage. Tt69e institutions represent the valor, the patriotism, the religious faith, the pride of tbe people. To lound a republic, which strips the army of its honors and the church of it s subventions and political authority and makes no aristocracy possible, is the sorest task that has ever been imposed upon a legislator. We see how far France is from the end; and yet, for tbe better part oi a century, Frenchmen, from Mirabeau to Thiers, Frenchmen ot eminent genius and ratriotism, have tried again and again, only again and again to fail. The fact that Castelar was an unsuccessful president only means that be failed where Mirabeau and Roland, Vergnlaudand Lamartine bai failed before; that it was lor him to plant the saed, lor OTHERS TO REAP TdE HARVEST. Republicanism is stronger in Europe, stronger in Spain, because of the brief poetical administration of Castelar. He shed no blood. He brought to dishonor upon his native land, no Bc&ndal upon liberty. He might have been the Robespierre of Spain if he had led the irreconcjlables, or its Bonaparte if he had given ay to the military spirit a spirit always glad to make terms with whoever will secure its pensions and its rank. He ruled with honor and withdrew with renown. He returns to the cortes one of the thiee republican delegates representing shrewd and patient Catalonia, the New England of Spain. The return of Castelar to public lite gives a new value to the eloquent letter to the Herald which takes so much ot our space this morning. Thi3 letter, written in Paris, is a review oi the whole situation of Europe. We see what Europe presents to the mind Castelar at the outset of our new year, and our readers will, we are sure, regard it as a remarkable and instructive contribution to tbe literature ol the hour. The gorgeous rhetoric of Castelar Buffers somewhat when trai slated from tbe luxuriant, ripe Castilian into our colder and tamer Saxon, but there are passages in this letter which mors than justify its author's world wide aDd enduring lame. He begins with a glance at Asia, the continent ol monarchies; America, the continent of republics, and Europe, between them, representing various phases of constitutional systems , HE SHOWS THE POWER OF THE SLAV and the Saxon in the politics of tbe continent, and apostrophizes tbe Latin spirit, which predominates in Italy and Spain, and which, with Greece, have contributed most to human culture. He shows that In !Mi8sia mere .is something eise besides a Czar on the throne and the people in tbe dust tbe rke ot a communistic spirit, which has taken a deep hold on the empire, and may in time menace the seeming invinciDle power of tbe Gzir'n. Tbe attitude of Russia and England in Asia, tbe conflicts of rival ambition in that vast and wonderlul continent, are sketched as boding events of paramount importance. The religion of Russia, completely oriental in its poetry and expression of tbe marvelous, is more calculated to win tbe East than the mercantile dominion oi England. Tbe Eastern question now absorbs the . minds of European statesmen, as twenty years aeo they were interested in the fall of the republic uo tioo .wi fcüo Napoleonic empire. ALiied with ttls is tbe . -awful question of the Slavoalc race, more fruitful yet of wars and catastrophes tbaa the unity of tbe Germaa race," Thla question, comparatively new as it is to us. Casraar sketches with brilliant and daring rhetoric. In It Is involved tbe fall of the Turkish empire.' ' The f nsurxection in the principalities Is only a phase. Unlike Lord Russell, wbosbows in his old age some ot tbe hre which burned fifty years ago for Greece; unlike Garibaldi, who is apt to look at politics from tbe heroie rather than tbe practical point of view, Castelar is not quite sire whether the insirrec:ion la Heizegovlca does not represent THE AMBITION OF EC9SIA as much as any aspiration for freedom '.'an intr'gus of diplomacy, rather than a movement toward liberty." Castelar paints a glewinfe picture of the aspirations of the Servians for freedom, and passes on in a escocd part of his letter, to be printed subsequently, to the present and the future of Turkey tbe "loveliest region" on the globe "stained with a shameless despotism." It is ruled by a man who claims attributes almost divine, his soul deadened by the poissoned atmosphere of myrrh and frankin-

cense, ' who governs his subjects

like cattle a man "conceived in the seraglio, born of slavery, trained by eunuchs." An empire so ruled can cot live. Europe decrees us death. Eagland, which formerly sustained it. Is sow re signed, and buys the Suez canal to protect herself when tbe issue ripens. In this purchase Castelar eees tbe revival of the old Paimerston spirit. For a generation Eng land has been despised in Europe, Humiliated by America at Geneva as a mere Manchester cotton dealer. Tbe purchase indi cates a new policy. England Is no longer Carthage, growing rich at the expense ot her morals and her self-respect, but the England of the older days, wbich did not disdain to DEFEND HER EM TIRE WITH THE SWORD, A phase of this policy is se en in the visit of the Prince of Wales to India, and it is dim cult not to feel that the crowning events of this century are involved in the East in the fall of Turkey and the inevitable controversey between Eneland and the Czar. In shadowing forth this tremendus ques tion Castelar pays a glowing tribute to m. Lesseps, the " projector of the Suez canal, as one ot the greatest men ot the world. From this be passes to a situation in France, where three monarchs make monarchy impossible. He believes that the republic is secure from tne conservative strength it has . received. Altogether he feels that ancient traditions are vanishing ; that old castes are crumbling; that divine "right" gives place to huoian rights; that "llhrli ilamiurara anrl t Vi A rnnhlfi form the sublime trilogy which to-day inspire the Latin races and will to-morrow utite them in a confederation possessing all the brilliancy and splendor of ancient Greece." A SINFUL SON. 8EQTJEL TO SINUOUS SPECULATION. DEF1CIIKCT IN THE'ACCOUNTS OF THE NORFOLK AND NEW BRUNSWICK HOSIERY COMPANYA FATHER THROWING THE BLAME CPON HIS SON. The New york Sun gives the following full particulars of the Norfolk and New Brunswick Hosiery Company's complication with Treasurer Earle, reported in the telegraphic columns of the Sentinel at the time of tbe discovery: In the latter part of last August Mr. Lucius P. Porter, president of the Norfolk and New Bruswick Hosiery Company, ascertained that there was a deficiency in tbe accounts of Mr. Jonathan Earle, the company's treasurer. An examination of tbe books showe l that tbe deficiency amounted to $142,000. The directors of the company were called together on the 1st of September, and Mr. Earle was called on to explain tbe deficiency. He admitted that his accounts were snort f 142,000. In explanation, be said that his son George Earle and not himself was the real defaulter. George Earle was his clerk, and tracste'ed most of tbe business ottbe New York office. His lather usually gave him checks on tbe New York bank:in which tbey kept their account, signed by himself In blank-, and di rected him to use tbem to pay the com pany'8 bills. The son filled up the checks and used tbe money obtained on tbem in speculations in stocks. Tbe company's credit was good and the rew York bank HONORED THE CHECKS OF THE TREASURER'S SON without any question. Mr. Earle promised to secure the company against any loss, and offered to transfer to tbem a cotton mill in Burlington, Vermont, worth $200,000; real estate in New Brunswick, valued at $40,000, and f 12,000 worth of real estate in Brooklyn. He told tbe directors that there was an en cumbrance ot $20,000 on tbe mill, a mort gage Ot J5.500 on tbe New Brunswirk prop erty, and an encumbrance of 6,000 on tbe Brooklyn real estate. Tbe directors di rected President Porter and Messrs. John son Letson and Mahlon Runyon to examine tbe property and take any steps that tbey deemed necessary to secure the company. They Inspected all of the property, found it to be as Mr. Earle bad told tbem, and took from Mr. Earle an assignment ot it. Before exe cuting tbe assignment, Mr. Earle exacted from the company a promise not to . prose cute his son. Tbe committee then trans ferred their account to the National Bank of New Jersey, in New Brunswick. Mr. Earle was permitted to be tbe nominal treasurer of the company, although the duties of that office Lave, since the discovery of the de ficiency, been discharged by Mr. Johnson Lelson. At the annual meeting of the com pany on Wednesday, Mr. Porter, tho presi dent, told the stockholders of the discovery of tbe deficiency, and ot what bad Ween done to secure the company. He was euretta" the property obtaiued from Mr. Earle would more than COVER THE DEFFICI ENCY, and believed that the company could meet without dimculty all Its obligation?, as they bad a surplus ample to meet any loss that might arise from the defalcation. ILe president's course was approved by the stock bolder?, and a committee was directed to thoroughly examine the company's books and accounts, Mr. Earle then resigned tbe treasurershlp, and Mr. Johnson Leteon was appointed in his place. Mr. Earle is about 56 years of age, and has hitherto been highly respected in tbe community. His version of the dedication is not credited by all the residents of New Brunswick. "He'and his son were both in the New York office," said a New - Brunswicker, ' ''and - It is queer that the old man didn't know what his son did with tbe company's checks. But, I suppose, the company are satisfied, as tbey have got their money." At the time of the discovery of the defalcation f-10,000 of the company's stock Btood Id his own came, and 10,000 ot it in the name of his son. The company was organized In August,. 1854, in Norfolk, Conn.,ss the Norfolk Hosiery Company. In September, 1863, the company was reorganized under the name of the Norfolk A New Brunswick Hosiery Company, and tts capital was increased to 1550,000. Anew manufactory was built in New Brnnswlck, and tbe headquarters of tbe company were transferred to that city. The company usually employ about seven hundred hands, Mr. Earle waa elected its treasurer in 1SG8. FOX'S FORTUNE. HOG'S HILL ALL HE HAS TO SHOW FOR A LIFE OF PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS This lrom - the New York Sun will surprise those who had heard that Fox, the p'antomimist, was, worth . a , mint of money: George L. Fox having been declared Insane, and a committee having been appointed to take care of his property, it was found that he owned, even nominally, nothing but a villa oo Hog Ulli, Yonkers. This hill was Inherited by tbe actor, F. S. Cbanfrau, from his father. Until 1870 many Irish laborers dwelt on it with their families, and inado it the breeding place of so many hogs tbat it received ita present name. In 1870 eomo New York theatrical men, among tbem Manager Daly, enclosed the bill, razd the cabins of the Irish, lande good roads, and built, tasteful villas. Intending to draw together a colony of members of their own profession, Mr. Daly and his associates gave George L. Fox the title to the handsomest of the villas, retaining, It Is said, a mortgage equal to its full value, ilog Ulli la 425 Jeet high, affording superb views, and it is deemed one of the most beautiful parts of Yonkers. A reservoir for the city of Yonkers was recently built won It,

THE OHIO OVERFLOW.

AT LOUISVILLE. THE WHARF RATS COMING; OUT OF TTTKIÄ HOLES TO OST . A DRINK AND SEE THE ; SHOW. The Courier-Journal of yesterday gave tbe following particulars of the flood there and in Indiana adjacent thereto: Uany thousand people visited the levee yesterday to take a look at the swolen river.' The water rose Saturday night but a few inches above the mark reported at nightfall, and, at daylight yesterday morning, began to fall at the rate of an ivch per hour, continuing to recede rapidly all dsy. Compared with the high water ot former years this rise can scarcely be called a flood. Tbe turniug of tbe tide put a quietn upon, tha fears ol the people who were still on dry land, but were threatened with an overflow Saturday night, and ajcordingly tbere was confidence among tbe denizens of the river (root and the I cross streets near tb9 levte. These water bound people seemed to enjoy a quiet Sab-1 Dam. as in tne windows of tbe houses, in the flooded streets, were seen the faces of hundreds of innocent persons caged in their rooms. Along the dry portions of the levee a large "number of mn aad women were busy catching the drifiwood, while the greater number of the men who inhabit tbat part of the city spent tbeir time in the levee bar-rooms, drinking mean whisky. Tbe loss to property by tbe high water, except tne miuriea sustained cj ice overnow, is but trifling. At tbe foot of Fifth street a coal office is turned over on its side, and was cabled to prevent it from washing away, wniieanouse oi a similar character was weighted down with pig Iron to prevent It from floating off. , . i IN INDIANA CONDITION OF THE RAILROADS. he flood in Southern Indiana was the most disastrous and wide-spread that has been known for years. The Jeff, road officers state tbat no previous freshet has damaged tbem to the - extent of the present one. There were fourteen washes on tbat road. five of them being serious and destructive ones. A large force of men, under the direction of Mr. R. Wells, were out on the road working hard all day yesterday repairing tbe damage done, so as to re-establish communication at the earliest moment. The worst wash on this road is between Rockford and Columbus, and it may take until Tuesday to place tbat part ot the road in a condition for trains to pass over. It win be necessary to transfer pas sengers at Rocktord to day and perhaps to morrow. There are other wastes on the road that will require all day to repair. As predicted yesterday morning, tbere was a number of tad washes on the O. fc M. road Saturday night between Brownstown and Mitchell, and also a wash at Shield's Hill. Passengers lrcm Cincinnsti West on that real yesterday came from North Vernon' to Jtfiersonville, from Jcffersonvllle to New Ablany, and lrotn tbe latter place over the New Albany & Chicago to Mitchell, which is rather a roucdabout way, but much belter than no way at all. Trains from St Louis Eist bad to travel the same route, only in a ainereni direction. AT EVASSVILLE. THE GREAT FLOODS OF lS7o-6 THE RIVAL OF 1867 A VAST WASTE OF WATER. The Evansvllle Journal of yesterday says: The unprece Jented flood cf last August is still fresh in the minds of the readers of the Journal, and was by far tbe most disastrous and destructive iu the memory of the olCest inhabitant. Though not as high as the flood of 18G7, or even as the present, the da-cage done and tbe suffering it entailed were far greater. It was a sad and distressing sight then to ee thousand of acres of promising corn, just in tbe ear. and wbich had promised to richlv repay the toiling farmers for their summer's labor, being swept away and destroyed by tbe ris ing waters. The water on the 9th of August, 1875, reached within a fraction of the 42 feet mark on tbe government gauge at tbe foot of Main street, and all the small streams in Southern Indiana, including the Waran, White and ratoka rivers, were flooded, and the whole country within their vicinity was devastated in 1867, The water reached 45 and 29-100th feet above low water mark of 1867, tbe lowest that had been known since 1S56. Tbe river rose and fell in 1S67 during the months of January and February, and up to the 16ih ot March, when high tide was reached, and the people along the river, having timely warulDg, bad time to remove their stock and gathered corn, and the loss was compara tively light. The rise list August was sud den aud unexpected, and tbe farmers were unabla to remove much of tbeir moveable property, and large quantities of stock and other property were destroyed, besides mil lions in corn and other products ol the soil. THE FLOOD OF 1S76 has progressed gradually, and farmers have bad sufficient warning to enable tbem to get their stock aud other movable property to a place of safety, and the warning has been generally heeded. There is, however, considerable stock still surrounded by water, but it was being removed yesterday, and the loes this season will . probably not be nearly as great in this particular . as it was last August. Almost the entire peninsula opposite tbe city is already under water down to the distillery above Henderson, and below Stanley's, and tbe water is up to the middle of tbe doors of the farm houses. On the Indiana side, from Just below the rolling mill, the whole country is submerged deeply out to tbe second bank, and only two or three houses e.re still out of the water. From the pilot house of the Grey Eagle yesterday a full view of the wide was e of water could be seen, stretching on either hand as far as tbe eye could reach. A3 the Eagle rounded Lockrart's point, the Commonwealth could be plainly seen steaming up through tbe chute of Green river tow head, while tbe bills at the mouth of Green river were looming up like mountains. The Ohio's descent upon tbe lowlands seems to be a matter of greater . interest here than Blaine's descent upon other portions of the South. Yesterday's magnificent weather attracted thousands ot people to Water street,1 to observe tbe extent of the rise and erjoy the warm rajs of tbe san. All day long there was an enormous throng of promenaders along the thoroughfare, and it was difficut to pick a way through. Sunset Park, the glory of tbe city, was full of people, for whom the usual occupants the cows matle rcom. The water gauge, at tbe foot of Main street, was the objective point of tbe majority of the saunterers, who watched tbe Indications with much Interest. It is predicted by all the river prophets tbat tbe rise will not equal that ot 1867, which was as we have stated, 45 and 3 lOths feet. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the gauge indicated 43 feet and rising slowly. - FOUR IN A ROW. A QUARTETTE OF HOUSE THIEVES MEET THEIR FATE AT THE HANDS OF JUDGE LYNCH. The Atchison, Kanta;, Champion sajE: Max A I wens, tho traveling salesman for the well known grocery house of Julias Kahri, brings the information of a quadruple execution of horse thieves by a vigilance, committee of Kcoks county. Fonr notorious desperadoes, named Cox, Hutchinson and Ed. and Jack Connaughty, are the men who were thus summarily disposed of, and they have made a reputation and name for themselves tbat will at least

prevent any ' great expenditure for

mourning purposes, f cr a long time tbey 1 held supreme away in Southwestern Kan sas, and were a terror to all tbe surrounding j country. Horse thieving, burglary . and

robbery were their forte, and they carriid and proportionately jor any party of theon their depredations every where. Event- amount, and will pay f 1,000 for the arrest

ually they were drlyen from the country, and they took refuge in Rxks county, in tos northwestern put of the state, preempting a quarter section of lnd, and building them a cabin. F;oaa th'.a time commenced a Serie of thieving ni rt.bbery such as Rocks county bad never before suffered tram, and suspicion natural! v fell on I these new-comers. A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE "WAS ORGANIZED among the farmers and citizens ot . the vlllpg! and a minor commutee'traced two of the thieves Into Nebrak, with a wagon load of gocds and several bead of stock. The committee returned to Stockton, and preparations were begun to arrest the entire cans noon the return i,i t:.e other two. One night, about two weeks pro, the cabin in which the thieves iw-dgeu tis surrounded by about twenty excited and enragod men, and the gang taken therefrom as they eat by their fireside. A court was or ganized, a short trial . had and the verdict of guilty of horee-steaiing and other crimes was found and the sentence of death pronounced upon tbe tour men. Thereupon a rude scaffold was erected, and midst tbe shrieks and groans and bitter imprecations, curves and oaths mingled at times with a prayer and begging for mercy tbat sounded upon tbe midnight air, the men, one by one, were hurled intolearful eternity." There ended the career of four desperate characters who depended solely on their success in thieving to . make a living. While we always deprecate, mob law, tbe sudden demise of these men can certainly prove of no disaster to the county, and it may do great good. ROBBERY ON THE ROAD. : A STAGE STOPPED AND RIFLED. 1 THE OVERLAND COACH HALTED IN A XON ELY MOUNTAIN GORGE AND RIFLED THE PASSENGERS MADE TO STAND AND DELIVER CHIBTjM, THE CATTLE KING, ONE OF IHK VICTIMS. . I The Messila, New Mexico, News caye: About 2 o'clock Wednesday morning, January 12tb, as the coach which was coming from Silver City to Mesilla, N. M., was slowly going up the bad rocky hill at Cook's canyon, three white men, masked with handkerchief, tied above their eyes and below their eyes, with blankets on, stepped out from behind the rocks, aimed tbeir gncs and revolvers at Lancaster, the driver, and said: "Get down and stand at the head of your mules, and don't you move or let the mules move, or we will shoot vou." He quietly complied with the order. Upon being asked, the driver told them young Fred. Kaiser was tbe messenger, and they went totho front boot, told him to "get out of there," and as he looked out he lound a revolver in close proximity to bis bead, and was ordered to "get down on the ground," which he did, and one ssked him how many passengers you got?" He told him two.- Ue then saiO.: "Tell tbem to jump out." There were in the coach at the time, John 8. Cni3um, Esq., the "cattle kiDg" of the West, and the Hon. T. F. Conway, attorney at law, and were both asleep. Mr. Chisum woke up, teard tbe last remark, and thinking it was tbe driver talking to the messenger, and wanting them to walk up the rocky canyon, , 1 THREW BACK THE CURTAINS and jumped out, but immediately found a revolver aimed at him, with the order. "Haiti don't you move," and "Have you got any arms?" to which be replied, "No he never carried any arms, but bad to step to the side of the road," to which they did not object, but got Mr. Conway out and then started tor the treasure in the express box, which was under the front seat, bavlDg obtained tbe key from the messenger. There was only one revolver about tbe coach, and that was in the front boot. Mr. Chisum bad f 1.000 in greenbacks in bis inside coat pocket, and while the silver bricks were be ing taken out he kept taking from 100 to 7200 at a time from his pocket-book, with out taking it out of bis pocket, and would scatter it around in the seat of his pants and drawers, leaving about ?100 in the pocket book. One soon came, got the 100 and a very fine gold watch, which cost $60 gold coin in Idaho, and marked "G. C.;" also a heavy gold chain. He told tbem "it would prove a bitter pill for taking it." As tbe robber was about to start away, Mr. Chisum said: "Now, this is pretty rough; I am a long way from home; I don't like to beg; please give me enough to buy 'grub' on the road;" and the fellow gave him 81, saying, "Small favors," etc Mr. Conway, who, has been quite sickly and weak of late, was next visited and re lieved ot 825 in small bills, while they left him S3d which was not found, and also TOOK' A FINE GOLD WATCH AND CHAIN, fqr which Conway would not take 8300. The messenger was relieved of about f 100, while he driver was not molested they probably thinking he had nothing worth asking for They secured about 84,000 in silver bricks, and with the other things, amounting to 85,000. Three bricks were marked "From n. U. sorter." and three -urom j. uannett," and all addressed: Konnte Bros., N. Y. After setting through an operations tbey ordered the driver to "turn and take the back track to Hot Springs, : and it they Dassed there before daylight they would shoot all aboard." Tbe driver remarked tbat it was impossible to turn tbere, but he would be compelled to go ahead a short distance to turn, when they - dropped their guns and pistols on him and ' he turned easier , than be first thought he culd and started' back; but alter traveling about an hour. Mr. Chisum in sisted on resuming th6ir proper course, tavine. "the coachf s generally passed each other in.the canyon, and if they were taking in the other coach, he wanted to see tbe fun." They turned again, met the coach coining from the east, which had been de laved in crossing the river, and they said they passed tha party about a mile east of where they robbed tbe coach, coming out of tbe canyon on tbeir horses, but it not being very light, they passed without word, as the coach going west seldom has anything of much value aboard. THIS BOLD AND DARING ROBBEET occurred about sixty miles from Mesilla, and about two miles from Fort Cummings, which is now abandoned, and we believe 1 this fort bad cot been abandoned, this rob bery never would have occurred. If our forts are to bs given up, and our protection, to which we certainly are entitled, taken irom us, there is nothing to prevent a re curienca of this affair every week ana the stage ana express company and tbe people generally, are at toe mercy of a lot of frontier desperadoes and tramps. Tho robbers were tracked about forty miles to where the read forks, one going to Mesilla and the other to Fort Seiden, both on the -Rio Grande. The silver bricks weighed about 300 pounds, which must have been a pretty heavy load for three horses to carry, besides their riders, - and travel at their gait. ' Suspicion. Is - - attached to certain persons, bus we will not now mention any name, as it may interfere with certain plans laid to capture tbe three persona ana recover th9 treasure, aianuei

TH E BELLE CF QUEBEC FLEES WITH THE EARL OF DUN RAVEN, The substance Of the following from the New York Sun cf yesterday was telegraphed to the Associated Press tbat night, but was denied econ afterward: The daughter cr one of the most celebrated physicians of Quebec has fled with an Irish nobleman, the Earl of Dunraven, and sought concealment iu this city. Although the facts of this startling elopement have been known in the leading social, circles of Canada for some days, yet owing to tbe high position of the parties they have thus far been suppressed. The younz lady is Miss Ko.vand, daughter of Dr. Rowand, ot Quebec, one of the best known physic. aas in tbe dominion, and a gentleman occupying the highest social position. She - is said , to possess the most attractive qualities. The courtship Is presumed - i to have been a brief ore, bs It was only a few weeks ago tbat the earl arrived in Canada from Eagland, yet it ia said by some that the bliss extended- throughout the weary days ot last winter, as his lordship spent several months shooting deer, moose and caribon in the vicinity of Quebec, a sport at which he is an adept, and to wnicfi he is exceedingly attached. During his intervals of rest he was a frequent visitor at the residence of Dr. Rowand. Tbat the elopement was premeditated would be inferred from the lact that he tarried but a short time in Canada on bis return tbe last time before he came to this city. His lordship, who is said to have already made many conquests, is a Dacneior. lie is a plain, unpretentious gen tleman, with a quiet reserve. He is, per haps, better known in this country than any of the English nobility, as he has spent several years in the We6t eDjoying the pleasures of tbe angling and tbe chase. He owns a splendid area of country in the South l'ark, of Colorado, which he keeps as at game preserve. Tt la not known at present where tbe Darties are stODDin?
