This statement from a man about to be launched into eternity, eo thoroughly aroused "Buck" Htanley, the man who captured Green, tbat he immediately started to ferret oat tbe unsolved and mysterious declaration, and accordingly Bent a photograph with a concise description of the niiesing girl to the eheriff of Fort Worth and in respoase receiTeda letter from him which read as follows: Fort Worth, Tf.x..

My means ci knowing so well is this: i have been bete- la this town and county thirty two years, and have been ia the tberifl oti'ice for the last eixht years, so you i I am potted. I have also investigated the Matter as to how the report pot into the papers, that Mrs. Orr had been inttrviewed, and hat itid that a Sam Payne and & woman had boarded witnber. It is this? The reporters here who sot up tnot special, went to the house where Mrs. Orr bad formerly lived, and found thatsre hal moved. They then made inquiry cf the woman who at prevent occupied the place where Mrs. Orr formerly lived, and she told them that she knew nothing of the parties inquhed about, that a man and woman bad lived there tefore them, but she knew nothing of them. (The parties referred to were Mr. and Mia. Orr.) The reporters, being anxious for news, then v. rote op the fcoecial.

BIRTHPLACE OF ABOLITION WfM th Anti-Sl.ivory S timtnt Firit Originated An Interesting; Document. A Germantown, Fa., letter to the New York. 8an says: Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, in his recent epeech ruthlessly shattered the wheel of the univem so tbat he might shift its hub from B aston to Worcester county, as he announces, may be "the most favored spot oa the face of f the earth, the place where intelligence moat abounds, and it may be that if the Kepublicans ot that county are defeated thia fall the crack of doom is near, but - there ia a document In the archives of Germantown which testifies that a century before the anti-slavery cause was born in 'Worcester county it had iU birth among a little group of Dutch linen weavers and farmers in this same ancient brrph of Germantown. This old document is probably one of the quaintest, as it is one of the most valuable of the document ary relics of this country's earliest settlers. It was written by Francis Daniel Pastorius, a young German scholar of is'oble family who emigrated to thia country with other German and Dutch emigrants in ICS'2 and founded Germantown. They were Menonites, but became t.'uaksrs through their intercourse with the followers of Penn. These latter were slaveholders and slavedealers, facts that were abhorrent to Pastorius. Oa April 18 Hs, he drew up a protest, which was signed by three other leading men In the set t.' em en t. and forwarded to the Friends' meeting. The following is a verbatim copy of the original : This is to ye Monthly Meeting held at KLrert Worrells: , These are the reasons why we are against the traSick of men's-body as folio weth: J ((there any that would be done or han tiled in this manner? viz. to be sold or made a slave for all the time of his life? Mow fearful faint-hearted are many en are when they tee a atraoge vessel being afraid it shtuld be a Turck, and they sbonid be taken and sold for Slaves in Turckey. Now what is this better done as f orcka doe ? y ea rather is it worse for them, wich say they are Christians, for we hear that ye most part of such Negers are brought neither against their will & consent, and that many of them are Stollen. iVowtho! they are black, we cauno cddceia there is more liberty to have them Uvea, as it is to have other white ones. There is a saying, that we shall do to all men, licke as we will be done our selves, roacklrg no difference of what generation, descent, or Colour they are. And those who steal or rob m en, an d those who buy or purchase them, are thej not all alicke? Here is liberty of Conscience, wch la right and reasonable here ought to be Jickewise liberty of ye body, except at evildoers, wch is an other case. But to bring men hither, or to robb and sell them train t tbeir will, we stand together. In Kurope there many oppressed for Conscience sacke, and here there are those oppresse e wch are of a black Colour. And we. who know that men must not commit t adultery, some doe commit adultery in others, generating wifea from their husbands, and giving them to others and a tome sell the children of those pwr creat ures to other men. Oh! doe consider well this things, you who doe It, if you would be done at this manner? and if it is done according to Christianity? You lurta Holland and Germany ia tbis thing. This Hackee an Hi repot t in alt those Countries nf r.orope. where they hear off, that ye Quakers doe here handle men, Licke they handle ther ye Cattle; and for that reason some nave no mind or inclination to come hither. And who shall maintalne this your cause or plaid for it? Traely we can not do so except you shall inform us better hereon, viz. that Christians have liberty to prac tise this tbings. Pray! ' What thins in the world ran be done worse towards us than if men should robb or steal us away & aell us for slaves to atranee Countries, i separating housband from their wife and children. Being now this is not done as that manner we will be done at, there fire we con tradict -V are against this traffic of men body. And we who profess that it if not lawful to steal, must likewise avoid to purchase such things as are stolen, but rather help to atop tbis robbing and s'eal ing if porsibel and such men aogbt to be detivred out of ye hands of ye Rohhera and set free as well as In Karope. Then js Pensilvania to have a good report, in stead it hath now a bad one for this saeke is clfier cvwlr. Especially wfcc;-i5 Je
Earopeana are desirous to know in what manner ye (Juackers doe rule in their Province fc most of them doe loock upon ns with an envious eye. Bat if this is done well, what s-hall we fay, is don evil 7 If once these slaves (who they say are so wicked and stubborn men) should joint themselves, fght for their freedom, and ban del their masters and maatrisses as they did handle them before: Will these masters and mastrlsses tacke the sword at hand A warr against tbeie poor slaves, licke we are able to believe, some will not refuse to doe? Or have these Nepers not as much ripht to bj-ht for their freedom, as von have to keep them slaves? Now consider well this thing, if it is good or bad? And in case you find it to be good to handel then blacks at that manner, we desire A require you hereby lovingly that you may inform us herein, web at this time never was done viz , that Christians have liberty to doe so, to the end we sball be satisfied in tbis point, A eatisf.e lickewise our good friends A acquaintances in our natif country, to whose it is a terrour or fair'nll thing that men should be handeled so in Pensilvania.

THE CAFFAREL SCANDAL. I French Chamber of Deputies Considerably I Excited Over ths Blatter. I Pa f.i?, November 5. The report of the ; committee appointed to inquire into the j Caflarel scandal was discussed in the , Chamber of Deputies to-day. M. Banday : D'Asson declared that it was not a demaad ; for an inquiry, but for the prosecution of M. Wilson, which should be submitted to ; the Chamber, the abuses in connection with seals and stamps being punishable by from six months to three years imprisonmentHe asked K. Kouvier, the prime minister, to explain the caue of Mr. Wilson. M. Kouvier, in reply, said that all the documents had been placed in the hands of the Minister of Justice. Toe discussion was general, and closed amid great excitement. M. Colfavreu moved tbat the inquiry be general and that it extend back as far as May, lvT, so as to include the time of the advent of the Ie Broglio ministry. M. Kouvier, answering M. D'Ornano, demed tbat :he politicians bad levelled the scandals agaiDSt President Grevy. Applause Irom the Centre, and murmurs from the extreme Left. Nobody thought of accusing the Cabinet of interfering with the freedom of his power. The magistracy was above suspicion. He was not possessed of the details regarding tbe sale of decorations. Other facts were undeniable, bat they did not prove the necessity for an inquiry. Commotion The Pre-.ident'a acts were always endorsed by a Minister; therefore the Ministers were responsible for all such matters. Interpellations could be addressed to them on matters for which they were responsible, but questions beyond the province of parliament came within the jurisdiction of the judicial power. On these grounds he was opposed to an inquiry. lie admitted the juetice of the feeliDg which inspired the chamber, but though it was better to let matters take their natural course. A great uproar followed the conclusion of M. Kouviers speech. When order bad been restored, M. Co:favren's mntion was carried by a vote of :ti4 to is.. M. Joiibois explained that the Right, though in favor of an inquiry, opposed M. Colfavren'a motion because they consider ed tnat it was directed against tue accusers rather than against the guilty. He moved to give tbe commission the wildest powers. M. Colfavren spoke in opposition. The motion was finally carried by a vote cf 315 to 1M. The committees report was then adopted, 4-T to M. A REIGN OF TERROR. liandits liiitr Terrible Work ia th Horrier Tessi Count tea. Prow ye vu -LE, Tex., November ". A reiRn of terror exists in the up-river border cc unties between Kd in burg and Ilorae, the result of tbe ehockiD depredations of Mexican bandits. Since the abduction of Signor Barroner, whose friends had to pay ! 1 WO ransom, almost every merchant has received threatening letters ordering payment of heavy sums on penalty of abduc tion and tortun. The wealthy never travel without a heavy guard. The border sheriffs, who are poorly paid. are doing what they ran with their deputies to hunt the robbers down, and a small force of rangers has been sent by Gov. Koss to Rio Grande City, but it is feared that tbe whole force is not strong enough to round the bandits up in such a long extent of wild .bottom and wooded country. District Judge J. C. Itussell.who is a large ranch owner in starr, acknowledged that tbe civil authorities were unable to cope with tbe matter. In the mean time the bandits are continuing their work. On Monday at high noon, they entered the Havana ranch, in Hidalgo county, a place of about 50 inhabitants, surrounded the store of Magdalino r lores, drove the occupants out, and robbed the place of every bit of goods it contained. They then tore of the doors, smashed the windows and threatened to return, and sacsana burn every house in tbe place. Tbe band numbered twenty-one men The day before, another party of bandits about twenty strong, attacked tbe Attasosca ranch on the Ban Joan river, a few miles above Camargo, Mexico, and tasked the place, abusing and outraging the people. They were t unued by Mexican cavalry, ucder captain I.amadrido and Plasuel&s a leader, and another bandit secured. Plasuelas was executed at Camargo yesterday morning and the other will suffer the same Tate. Lamadrido, an active officer has at his command all the men that be wants and a gets step in rank for every bandit captured. President Dia, has ordered tbat the severest measnres be used to put down bandits on tbe border, and Gen. Velain in command uf this military district, ia anxious to cooperate with tbe American anthontles and drive out and eliminate the se pests. Tbe state authorities of Tamaohpp&s are very lukewarm. Tbeir party newspapers openly attack Velain for causing tbe capture of Lojf07X Vela, a noted bandit, and tbe murderer sf Sheriff Martine, of Stan county wbo wa-i sent to tbe fortress of San Juan De CIloa, at Vera Cruz and are trying to excite a sentiment amoog the people in favor of the wretches and against the party of law and order.

That is, the writer is, as a rule, a man so obscure, or of so little influence or strength, under the dircu instances, that it wouldn't add one ounce of weight to his letter if he signed it with his own full name, inbtead of "Citizen," 'Tax-payer," or "Constant Leader."

The theatrical equinoctial storm did not begin to rage tbis year until November bad set In. 1 have known it to come npon uj as early as the middle of September, ont managers nave wisely delayed it dur ing the last few years, nntil now it does not spend its fury and waste the money of some of them, until more than a month later tban formerly. This opening week of November is really the beginning of the theatrical storm, and it promises to rage with fury. Managers, like brokers and newspaper editors, seem to be occasionally thrown into a panic by the actions of each other. There is quiet in Wall street, and I have nothing to write about that. Tne newspapers are having a chaotic panic over a local election, but I fancy you get . ti Aaa'f- - . m in you wan: 01 pontics juh now. &ji am compelled to write of the theatrical panic ana storm of tbis week. Its several incidents were enriocs and interesting, if not instructive, aol embraced the debut of Mrs. James Brown Potter, the revival of "Caste," and the first nights of "Tne Wife" at the-Lycenm, and "The Railroid of Love ' at Dalj's. The first professional appearance of Mra. Potter in this country was a well managed blast. My only ;ear for tbe lady a sake is that it may too soon blow over, Her de but was preceded by some of the mout artiBticing I have ever seen much mure cleverly managed then that of Mrs. Langtry on her first appearance here. Itii an extremely difhcult task to make a lady famous in print without making her out not to be exactly a lady. Fame on the etage Is too teldom obtained without some sacrifice of fame in the household. There is no jumping into the saddle of renown with oue swift leap, without disclos ing one a itirts. Mrs. Langtry did not et cape calumny, though sbe was cold as ice or as her own beamy. Mrs. Potter had reason to fear it, though she was as pure 88 snow; but she e3caped it. Oae journal did announce tnat sbe and her husband Lad separated, but the husband promptly called the writer to account, and he crawled out of it by saying that he meant tbat the gentleman and his wife were sep aratcd by the Atlantic. Mrs. Potter ha sacrificed in her during bid for professional popularity co jot nor tittle of rcpu'ation; has lost no personal friend, has disobeyed no hUBbands will, but is safely, and, I have before intimated, successfully launched in a profession she will adorn, fend I hope htlp to elevate still bigber ttan it now is by her acting as well as by her personal presence. Kirs. Potter' 8 pictures do not do her full justice; the pceesof eomeot the most fami her of them heighten soxe one feature at tbe expense of otbera; and none that I have 8n and there are scores npon scores of diflerent styles convey the idea cf the grace and gentleness and refinement which is revealed in her cbarming personality. Her features are not uniform and mular; her figure is slight, rather than robust, and her face is bright, rather than beautiful; jet there is au indescribable BweetLe 8 bout ber which wins both sexes. There is no resisting the thought, as you look at ber, that this delicate aod refined creature ia out of her place on tbe stsge; tnat even tbe ball room or drawing room have no right to claim her, aod that her proper place is her own bondoir at home, with children about her. I never saw the lady until Monday night, and this Jmpmsion is not suggested by aoy knowledge of her personal character; the idea is associated wholly with her personal appearance. There are all sorts of stories as to her reasons for leaving an easy and luxurious private life for the hard life of a professional player. An irresistible inclination to act. the necessity of addin? to her husband's income by her talents, the ! necessities of others of her family who are j C A-TAJ V4 . IA b IA SVAA AiV A mvOv A tMUUg iJ l Et ing on tbe stae, and various accounts of the circumstances of doing so, are on everybody's tongue; but I know nothing of tbese. She Is there, and I fancy tbat her personality alone will bring her eaocea and fortune. . Will her actmgeecona her personality in gaining pojularity? Critics esy she is a lone way yet from being an actress. On the othtr hand, she is a long way from being an amateur. She lacks the training, lot the has the instinct. She requires enly the rounding which long, steady end constant practice of her art will give her. Actress are no more born than poets are; and the one like the other must learn in fcufltrirg what they teach by their art. remfmber very distinctly the absurd cruderessof Langtry, the extraordinary arvk werdntEs of Mary Anderson, and the funny unprepaiedness of Ada Rehau at the ooe-t-irg of their careers; yet Mrs. Laagtry is now a grtceful woman on the stage, Mary A t dereon is a very sn pt-r ior actress, and A d a Reban a finished artiste ; and all have been taught by ronch contact with the s'.age itseif es the trne school of the etaev. T very much doubt that either of thes I have named was better equipped at the outset than Mrs Potter; and her first year at the school she has wisely adopted, finoe she has determined on such a course, will make a very different actress of her. There is no good reason for congratnhtion tbat "1'be Mousetrap," with which Mr. Abbey opened his season, was a failure, for, in the first place, it was a vile piece, and, in the second, it has precipitated the production of a char mini? play with a charming comedieone In the cast. The play is Robertson's "Caste," set on Wallack's stage with great care and beauty under the personal supervision of the author's son, now Mr. Abbey's stage manager. The comedienne practically new to this country, is Florence Gerard Abbey, the wife of tbematager. The play is familiar; the lady ought to be to all New York theater goers, lor, now first seen in comedy, she is recognized as one of tbe most admirable and finished cf onr stock actresses, and a very desirable acquisition to our local stage. There was some fear that Mr. Ab bey would incline toward making Wallack's a combination house, like the Star, but the care with which he has selected tbe stock company which now surrounds his charming wife indicates that he is deaiuea in nis youcy oi maintaining vv ailack's as a stock house. 1 s The Lyceum under tbe new directorship has also committed itself to tbis policy; so we now have four stock companies in this city Daly's, the Madison Square, Wallack's and the Lyceum. The latter is a little place, and rather out of the way, but it is already popular; and if the clever group of artists who form the company continue as they have begun, that popularity will increase. It is not so large a company as either of the others named, nor are all the members as experienced scd as well known as some of the principals in other t roups; but as a well-fitting combination of talents it is a highly creditable organization. The new play produced at the Lvceum on Tuesday was not worthy tbe abilities displayed by the several actors in tbe cast. It was manifestly written to fit tbe company, and this purpose of the author baa undoubtedly constrained him in other respects. I fancy too he had pome recollection of "Our Boclety," ai produced at the Madison Square Theater, in
which that rharrnirg child r.f n?n and petite bnrdle of dmvcs, Annie lUm-ll. made men a great hit Tbeattnosphereof both ia tbe same; both lire studies of Washington life, social and ntb;:I though the motif of "The Wife" very different from that of "Oar Society." Bat there is positive p.ain in this production in that it mark the addition ot one more stock company to the theaters of this city. Mr. Daly's comedy of "The Railroad of Lev" was by long odds the most successful production of the season tbos farbetter not only than any piece produced eKe where, but bstter than "Dandy Dick," with which he opened his own bouse. It is not farce; it is genuine comedy, and it is almost perfectly acted. The only person in the cast who was not perfect was a near com er in the person of Miss Phoebe Rassell; but she was bo clever and piquant and original that nobody particularly noted tbat she did not playexarlly harmoniously with the rest of the company. The play ia full of laughter' and beauty from beginning to end, and the end of the run ot this particular railroad ol love nobody can foresee. Henry Irvine, sod Ellen Terry were occupants of Mr. Daly's box. He did not applaud at all, but was laughing raont of the time. She applauded frequently and lanhei heartily. "The Eegum," a comic opera by American authors, will receive ite first production on any stage next Monday evening, November 7, at the rjhestnut Street Opera Ilcviee, Philadelphia, the members of the McCaull opera company being tbe interpreter ot tbe several roles. The piece was written for the McCaull troupe, and of the fourteen characters each is In the bsndsof a comic artist of reputation. The cs in mi exceptionally strong one, De-Wolf Hopper and Digby Bell have characters of nearly equal humor and opportm itv for tfiect. Harry Macdonouga and Jeff I)' Angeles are expected to emphasize the success rxaaeby them as tbe two Israelites in "Bellnan." Herbert Wilke ia tn sing the baritone part and Edwin Hot! that of the usual tenor swain. The title part, The Betrum, is to be m'rodured to Madame Cottrell, and is said to be excellently suited to her talents as a comedienne. Laura Joyce Bell has a character, that of a Eorcerpfs and fortune-teller, in which her personal success is predicted; and Marion Manola is to sing tbe rola of the eoprano heroine. Four of the McCanll Company s brightest aid prettiest yenrg women will impersoca'e four nieces cf tne BegRm, who, according to the exigencies of the btory. are not allowed to rcarry until the Begum is wedded and settled. The reene of the opera is laid in India, and tbe Oriental locale gives opp)rtnnity for richne's of scenery and costumes Manager McCaull aflirois that iu mounting and scenic beauty " The B'guoi" will iurpa8 Ms brilliant production of "The Mikado." The personnel of tbe piece it eludes a number ot Btriklng and picturesque figures.
