THE Supreme Court has laid down a rule for determining the loyalty of claimants for property taken by our army durbe war. Any one who took the oath of loyalty under the proclamation of December Sth, 18H2, as soon as the presence of our forces rendered it po.-:sibe to take the oath, shall bo considered loyal to all intents and purjtoses for establishing his right to payment lor such f*voperty. The Cincinnati Times remarks that this test is •milleiently definite, but in many case of doubtful truth. Many men took such oaths a* the circumstances rendered expedient. The oath really amounted to [nothing. It was only an expression of the loyalty that was a matter of force, and of course while our forces were in command of the localities. Ihe retreat o:- withdrawal of the force rendered null ihe oath, and the resident was ready ear loyalty to the Southern Confederacy the moment that its fyrcc sliouUi appear. "F"'

rowly escaped an honor rarely conferred upon a private citizen. He owes this escape to the failure of a motion in the City Council to appoint a special committee to interview him. However disappointed lie may be that the blessing is withheld, he prefers to attribute the withholding of it to ingratitude on the part of the Council, rather than to any want of merit on his part. If that superlatively Honorable Body should reconsider its hasty action and determine on sending the interviewers, he hopes to be able to give them some information, as that is the commodity of which they have a piessing

WHEN

While the Kepubliwins in many other cities, in this State, succumbed under "the prcsure" on Tuesday, the party held its own in'Terrc Hautefcoming out with a majority of eight on the popular vote, being a net gaiii of 467 oirf the vote of last ycir.' Tt did this under most adverse circumstances, when there were many indications ofan extremely discouraging character, and it did it against the most thorough and det'eimined opposition. Almost every Democratic member of the City Government, from Mayor to junior policeman, had worked with indefatigable energy for weeks before election, and on that day they struggled from morning till night as if their very existence depended on the issue. Never was harder work done, even in State and National elections, then these men performed to insure the election of their jandidatcs to the Council. But with all their efforts they would have been defeated in the First and Third Wards, had there been a full .Republican vote. Their small majorities in those precincts might have been overcome had the efforts of a few earnest workers been properly seconded. It is to be remembered, also, that the abolition of the registry law opened the \vay for fraud, and wo ha% good reason to believe that fraudulent otes were cast at the First and Fourth

Ward polls, now far this was carried, we have no means of ascertaining, but old and honest cit ir.ens of those wards assure us that the Democracy profited to a considerable extent by the imporation business. The result continues the control of the city government iir the hands of the Democracy, and while we cannot but regret that the public weal is not intrusted to the safe keepthe Republican party, we still hope that "Democratic econmy may be curailed within that degree of extravagance which borders on financial ruin. While the last year of Democratic domination has cost tho city dearly, it has not impaired her financial credit abroad,'anil he yet stands among the very foremost pities of the West the smallness of her indebtedness as comj»ared with the magnificence of her resources. If the record of Democratic financiering, in almost every instance where that record appears, were not so sadly disheartening, weshould still hope that our municipal legislator^ would endeavor to consult the public good rather than *hc demands of greedy partisan^ The'city is, comparatively, free from debt, and though the rate of taxa tionis high, and there have leen some inexcusably reckles8«xpenditures of public money, yet we are well off when Compared with many other cities.

years old, goes in for amusements, regardless of expense. He has a theatre which is pronounced equal to Pike's first Opera House, and when there is any special attraction, he attends with his "family," and pays his bills like a man. Alf. Burnett, who lately gave two entertainments at Salt Lake City, writes in a letter to a friend here: "Brigham's family were present both nights, and he was a most attentive listener. He paid me $70 for his "family tickets.'" —<Cin. Chronicle>.

TERRIBLE FALL FROM A BALLOON. ———

Death of Adolphe Buislay—He Falls from a Trapeze Bar Fifty-five Feet

From the San Francisco Figaro, April 16.] The news of the fatal accident to Adolphe Buislay, the young and accomplished gymnast, so well known and highly respected here, has already been referred to in these columns. As most of the reports heretofore published have been incorrect in many particulars, we have taken the trouble to

February 27, at the equestrian and acrobatic entertainment given at the Plaza de Toros. It had been announced in the programme that M. Montana would go up with a balloon, performing

M. Adolphe Buislay happened to be present simply as a spectator. At the moment when his young brother was about to ascend, Adolphe jumped into the arena and offered to take his place remarking that he did not wish an accident to happen. He took off his coat, and keeping on the leathern buskins be was wearing at the time, he caught the bal-

as it ascended, hanging by his

feet from the trapeze. On the side of the arena were large posts, the extremities of which were connected by transverse bars. On rising, the balloon was tossed by a violent wind against one of these posts. At the same moment the head of the aeronaut struck violently against it, and before he had time to rec-

tangled in the transverse bare above, and

.street-was. scarcely ever more excited than was the road that afternoon. In a short time.Dexter reappeared, ,and here his pale antagonist wa-s ready for the con test. Bonner put up the top of his wagon, which, a* horseman Know,. .makes a great difference in speed. Thes white horse came tearing along at a marvelous gate. Bonner sprang to his feet and.gave a screech that might have been heard in

th,

the force of the wind caused the ropes attaching it to the balloon to break. The unfortunate acrobat, after several unsuccessful efforts to.disentangle himself and to cling to the post, was precipitated head foremost to the ground, about fifty-five feet. During his fall he was noticed to describe several somersaults or evolutions before reaching the ground. Many persons hastened into the arena to the assistance of the unfortunate man, the victim of his fraternal devotion. His fall, was so terrible that he was at first thought to be killed. He lay, bruised and inanimate, upon the ground, and blood rushed from his nose and month The greatest consternation ensued among the spectators, many ladies fainted, and gentlemen rushed to his rescue.. He was found

not to be killed outright and notwithstanding his severe injuries, the physicians lor a while entertained hopes of his recovery. He, however, expired on the 10th of March, after ten days of cruel suffering, deeply regretted by all who knew him.

The day after the accident a subscription was started among the French residents of the city and realized the sum of $800. He has left a wife and one small child, for whom a benefit has been proposed.

Adolphe was a native of Provence, France, and at the time of his death was twenty-four years of age. In his profession as an acrobatic performer, in which he attained the highest eminence he traveled in many parts of Europe and America having been in California with his family some four years since, where he won considerable distinction and many friends. His brother Auguste generally did the balloon ascension at Hayes' Park. Adolphe was

earning a high reputation in Mexico where he was not only exceedingly popular as an artist, but had gained many warm friends by his genial and amiable disposition.

CALLICOT'S LAST DAYS I' THISON.

He Refuses to Ask for a Pardon—Au Interview with 1 lie Lx-Spesikor.

Having an hour to spare, a few days since, I concluded to occupy it by paving a visit to T. C. Callicot, ex-Speaker of the Assembly, ex-United States Treasury Agent, ex Collector of the Third Internal Revenue District (Brooklyn), and now for nearly two years an inmate ofthe Albany Penitentiary under a conviction of being engaged in a conspiracy to dctraud tho Government of tluMTnitcd Slates.

I had seen him once before in the pen itentiary, but I still associated him in my mind with the tastily dressed, cultivated, iresentnble men of the world as I had mown him in his better days. Callicot was received here in June, 1S6.S, to serve out a two-vears' term of imprisonment. Under the rules of the petitentiary, for good conduct a certain time is deducted from the term, and in Callicot's case it is the extreme limit—nbout two months. Under the terms of his sentence he is directed to be held until, in addition to the term of imprisonment, he satisfies the Government bv paying a fine of ten thousand dollars. "The fine if paid or remitted will leave him free to go. For this reason the severity of the prison rules, has been recently* relaxed in his case. "When I last saw him his hair was cropped close to his head, and liis face was shaved The hair on his head has been suflered to grow to the length lie ordinarily wore it, and the mustache he formerly wore was pproaclung it« old He va.* still attired in tlie prison uniform—a coarse check shirt, gray round jacket and vest and gray pantaloon-'.
