"WE hope General Grant had a merry Christmas, though we fear he did not, surrounded, as he was, by perplexities and badgered by cares of Slate, Williams not confirmed, ami Robeson's plun for increasing the debt not acceded to, and everything in Reneral going, as It were, "to the rot," in a way that would make a Mark Tapley, or some other gentleman with a genius for coming out strong under difficulties, fairly shriek for Joy.

The 8.1). C.

It is certainly a fine thing, ami reflects great credit upon all concerned, that a young men's dancing club in making their arrangements for the Christmas festivities should have BO fur remembered their lens fortunate fellow creatures, as to have gotten up ball, the proceeds of which were to be devoted to alleviating the sufleringn and providing for the wants of the needy poor. The credit not alone of originating this idva, but also of being the flr«t to carry It Into practical effect,

belongs

lor

exclusively to the

(Social Dance (Jlub of this city, the ice,and shown how such an entertainment can be arranged and carried out, It Is to be hoped that all the other clubs and organisations of our city will follow suit. Deprived of opportunity to compete with the 8. D. C. in the mutter of having been the first to think of it, emulation can become the more active aH to the net proceeds which t~ha.il be turned over to the Ladles' Aid Society. Other organizations shall not be content to drag out selfinh existences now that the way has been pointed out to them, by which they can make themselves beniflcent instrumentalities

the collection of money to aid

the poor, and that, too, without circumscribing, but rather enlarging the sphere of enjoyment.

This entertainment last night is doubly gratifying. It not only raised considerable money the Ladies' Aid Society, to be disbursed for worthy charitable objects, but it shows what we have never doubted, thai the Instincts of the well-to-do classes of the community nre correct, thai their hearts ure in the right places and can be relied on to voluntarily stimd by the unfortunates of life.

While on the one hand, we have been treated to the spectacle of a great government in whose hands all the fair apples of good promise have turned to ashes and on the other, in t'lis winter weather of panic and need, to a cry for governmental provision, of work or bread, the blessed lesson ot the hour has been that the quality of charity Is not strained, but rises with the beating of the heart.

A LARGE number of workingmen's conventions over the country, read their titles clear to mansions of brown stone with mansard roofs, on corner lots in desirable locations, by an unlimited issue of greenbacks by the Government. The reasoning employed to prove this is plain and simfjC| And commouda Iluolt haftrt. if it does fail to always convince the intellect. Thus runs the reasoning: Money buys houses Government can make money Government must make money. Granting the minor premise, that the Government can make money, which shall cost it nothing, the conclusion that Government ought to make money is certainly correctand proper. A Government that can make for nothing a something called money which shall have the power to buy food, clothing and shelter, and fails to give all of that desirable and yet to it costless material, to its citizens, might be justly stigmatized^ as a cold and heartless concern. Who can shower blessings by the turning of a hand, is a brute if be fails to do it. Iu this the invectives of the various conventions against wliat we have been accustomed to

as our beloved Uncle

Samuel, have been drawn too mild, if anything. We would like to urue upon our frit mis of the endless inflation school, tho calm consideration of the question of money, what it is and how it is. If the result of investigation should lend to the conclusion that money is valualle Just in proportion to the cost of production, and that paper promises to pay, which are never to be redeemed, are a* intangible as bottled moonshine aud of as little value, the howl for unlimii1id paper will be changed to a wail over a dead and burled superstition. Of all men In the world laborers phould be the last to cry for this paper money. They are the very class that are permanently injured by it. The history of tie war shows this. When the exigencies of the war •was plead as an excuse und the country was flooded with a paper currency, all values became unsettled. The measure of values was eternally shifting, and, of course, in sympathy with and because of that change the values of all commodities. To-day, a certain article was worth a certain amount of money,tomorrow a different amount, the third day still a different. Speculation became rife. Instead of producing articles ot value, men found that they could In many cases, make more by studying theflucuatlons of prices and by spending their time in buying and selling on speculation. The men certain to lose by all this were the laboring classes, engaged iu honest industry, and without time to study the shifting of values. Instead of raising hogs, men fouud more money in selling spoiled pork to the army. The result of ten years of inflation has been to raise up an army ot retired speculators, aud speculators that have not retired, and a merciless swarm of middlemen, against whose exactions the present revolt in politics is now directed. All persons eugaged in honest industry are interested in having values as fixed as

possible. Peraoas with more laziness than principle, are ihtereatpd la continuing the era of speculation. On the shoulder* of the hard-work-ing artizan, these light-fingered artUta rose to wealth and prominence, and that they should be anxious to prolong the seven years ot plenty for them is natural. They muHt smile, however, when they read of the working men favoring the something. It is like a corpse rattling the Juba upon his own bones at his own funeral.

WASHINGTON dispatches indicate that His Excellency General Grant, is greatly incensed at the obstinacy of the Senator* in failing to promptly confirm Williams' nomination to the Chief Justiceship. He proposes, it is said, to make the question of his confirmation a personal matter, and empty upon the heads of offending Senators the vials of his Executive wrath. The President regards the Supreme Court, as he does his Cabinet, believing the Judges of the one as he does of the others, to be as his staff was when he was a General, i. e., creatures of his will, sort of retainers, who are to shape their policy so as to confirm to his will and carry out bis policy. The rule of the executive, is, according to his notion, the law of the Und, and a Supreme Court is an ornamental hody of gentlemen who shall register and put in proper legal shape his doctrines.

We sincerely trust that this view, which Is certainly his, will be clearly enunciated by him when Congress reassembles, and a fair and open fight made upon it. The question of distr oution of power in the triple division of our Government Into legislative, executive and judicial, must inevitably be more or less an opeu one. The liberties of the people depend upon a proper division. Now, that the Executive seems Inclined to encroach upon the provinces of the others, is the time to meet such desire with spirited and determined opposition. We trust the Senate will rise to a proper appreciation of the situation. To the blindest it must be evident that Grant's notions of government, where they are not low, debasing and stupid, are inimical to the fnture welfare of the country. The Senate should meet him now and administer a rebuke that he shall not soon forget. All personal regard for him has died out among the people, and they now regard him in his proper light. The Senate, iu their opposition to him, will receive the support of the people.

incident to the panic, unexpected holiday trade. Santa Claus was not to be intimidated by reports of failures and the crash of Eastern speculators In moonshine stocks and bonds. Sensible old soul that he Is, he made up his mind to nivs those dear wards of his, the children of our land a merry Christmas, and lie did it. He bought pretly things of our merchants by the nleiyh full, and distributed them with a lavish hand. The only thing, perhaps, observable about his presents, indicative of the stringency of money during the fall, was iu their character. Fewer gewgaws and idle playthings were given than usual, but the liberal old fellow made up the deficiency with a lavish bestowal of useful presents. His conservatism expended itself iu the selection of useful articles. The liberality Was the same as of old. He is a prince of good fellows, is Santa Claus,and our merchants are as grateful to him as are the children. He has shown that the panic was chiefly scare, and pointed tb» way to relief by keeping up courage whistling as he goes, knowing no defeat aud rec"c'liy.lnar no disaster. He haa hrnkon the backbone of our fright and closed up the ledger of the year's business with an illuminated page, starting us with bright prospects and fair skies upon a new year of ceaseless industry, carefully prosecuted and certain of its reward. Three cheers and a bumper for Santa Claus.

A DISGRACEFUL squabble between the surviving captains of theVille du Havre and the Loch Erne, tl meeting of which in mid-ocean re-.-nlted iu the sinking of the former with great loss of life, seems likely to be the Inappropriate ending ot a terrible disaster. Each Captain'seems determined to shield himself by casting stones at the other. To read that part of the card of each which treats of his own oarefulness, the mystery grows how anything could have happened where such admirable regulations were so studiously executed. To read per coutra that portion which details the carelessness of the Captain and crew of the other vessel and shows how a loose system was loosely carried out, it becomes the eighth wouder of the world how either vessel ever cleared the home port without sitikiug, aud makes a matter of surprisiug wonderment how they ever breasted the seas to meet so far from the sounding shores.

THE revelations of all sorts of official peculations, from the building without warrant of Congress of Presidential stables, to the equally unwarranted provision of carriages and hordes for the Cabinet officers, taken

the Secretary, of the deficiency in the Treasury and his appeal for additional taxation, would seem to establish between the two things the relation of cause and effect. outrageous expenditures of puhlio funds are made by officials, and oth

Hid Engineers* Strike*

Ahaohg the unions of workingmen, the Brotbefhood of Locomotive Engineers have borne always a fine reputation as a careful, considerate, intelligent body of workers. Jtecognizing early the growing po ver of railway capital, and the utter helplessness of individual engineers in a contest with that power, they long ago formed themselves into a union, which, embracing all competent engineers, should be able to cope with it upon equal terms. In this they have imitated the action of the railroads iu the formation of powerful combinations of consolidated lines which should break down competition, aud enable them to lay down to em ployees and to the public the law of compensation. In it, they have also attempted as regard* themselves, tli«t preservation of their rights by

Whether they have acted Judiciously in the present strike Is a question as yet impossible of determination. On their part, they claim a violated agreement made with them by the railroads. The roads disclaim such agreement, and set up as reason for ibe reduction, the hard effect upon them of the panic. Which side is right upou the matter of an agreement is as yet unsettled.

.Three Cheers for Santa Clans. Our merchants, with scarcely an exception, report a large, gratify- ... ing, and iu view of the recent fright done by members of the Brotl erhood to the substitutes which tho roads

In some cases violence lies been

have put in their places. Tin perpetrators of outrages against life and property, in these, as in all other cases, should of course be arrested, tried, and if convicted, punished as are all other disturbers of aco. The Brotherhood does not countenance such acts.

Leaving out of consideration all matter of right or wrong, and there will hardly be any dispute upon the question that it is no justification of a murder, that the murderer was a "striker," violence of all things is most impolitic. If tlie Brotherhood right in this str'ke they may rely upon the public to sustain them. They embrace in their ranks nearly all the competeut engineers in the land. Let them only hold a bold frout and let the roads supply their places. The danger attendant upon travel on a road with an incompetent engineer driving the engine, would soon set the current of travel so strongly upon the competing lines, as to make it a matter of enlightened self-interest upou the part of the roads to accede to their terms.

The cause of the trouble with the (•oilrnodu Ju tint. that, lliov nou thatr engineers too much, but that they have too much water in their stock. Let them treat themselves for the dropsy and leave off trying to pay 10 per cent, interest on one part of real stock and three parts of water.

The public will watch the struggle between these two powers with absorbing interest. A strike amoug no class of workers so intimately affects them. In this connection it is grati' fylng to eefc the statement that our Vandalia Rad keeps up the pay of Its engineers at the old figures of years past, thus securing to it the same reliablef trusty men on its engines who have made for It a reputation of being oue of the safest aud best roads to trftvel on in the country.

A hot-headed enemy of the existing order of things, he outradicaled radicals.

That danger ever lurked near, aud as it were, overshadowed those who went down upon the seas in ships, has been a doctrine of the earliest ages, which later experience has verified and corroborated, but it has been lett to these gallant Captains to show at one and the same time how disaster was at once impossible, and still inevitable. If they would acr cept, both of them in the proper spirit, Hamlet's advice to Ophelia, and get them to a nunnery, the roving world that goes about in ships at rest. For the sake of his com peers would breathe the easier and the freer.

Inconsiderately and bliudly managed as every other beneficiect institutIonmightbe.it is, of course, likely to injure those very interests which its establishment was intended to preserve. Little, however, can be urged against the Brotherhood Locomotive Engineers showing them to have acted unjustly. Recognizing in a strong union so comprehensive as to embrace within its membership all engineers to whom the traveling public would be willing to entrust the care of life and property, the best safeguard of their rights, they have seldom been obliged to resort to the extreme, measure of a strike, and when they have done so, it has generally been for euch good reasons, and they have borne themselves so well in the conflict,as to enlist the sympathy and command the support of the community.

THE subject of subscribing stock to a shoe manufactory, to be located In this city, is being considered. As we understand the proposition, $30,000 are to be subscribed, in shares of 550 each, of which amount the gentleman who originated the movement, and understands the business, will take 20 shares. The remainder, therefore, must be subscribed by our citizens. The design is to rent rooms for the present. The money now necessary is to purchase machinery and material for manufacturing, and to pay hands. The establishment of $30,000 iuvested as judiciously as contemplated, would give employment to about flfiy hands, and If operated economically and carefully, would net 25 per cent, profit on the investment. From what we can learn of the movement, it is a good one, and well worth the careful consideration of the busiuess men of this city. If shoes were manufactured here we would not have to pay excessive express charges for carrying such stock all the way from the East, and money would be constantly coming in instead of going out, for foot wear.

THE NATIONAL CROP REPORT.

A General Falling off of the Hog Crop -Increase of Acreage in Winter Wheat.

JACKSONVILLE, III., Deo. 28.— The National Crop Reporter publishes to-day the corrected returns from the States of Illinois, Minnesota. Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, Tennessee, Kansas, Missouri and Indiana, in relation to the supply of hogs for the current season, showing that the total number futtioned in the States named is eight and one-tenth per cent, less thau for the season of 1872 and the comparative falling off in each State is as follows: I'linois, five per cent. Minnesota, ten and three-tenths per cent. Wisconsin, six per cent. Iowa, six and five-tenths percent Ohio, nine per ceut. Tennessee, twentyone per cent Kansas, seven percent. Missouri, seven aud threetenths per cent. Indiana seven and eight-tenths percent. Correspondence in most localities report that feeders generally have disposed of all the marketable hogs, and that although there will probably be some sent forward early in the feason, the number will be limited, as farmers have sold as closely as possible with a viaw to saviug feet. The average falling off in weight per head is estimated at ighteen pounds in Indiana, nineteen pounds in Iowa, six pounds in Illinois, fourteen pounds in Ohio, nine pounds in Kentucky, sixieen pounds in Missouri, and twenty-three pounds in Kansas. The average of winter wheat sown during the present reason compared with that of the previous year, shows an increase iu Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee, averaging eleven and onehalf per cent.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 24.—At a meeting of the Western papers taking news from the American Press Association, over the wires of the Pacific & Atlantic Telegraph Company, held here to-day, a committee was appointed to make arrangements wiib the Union Telegraph Company, which has leased the lines of the former, for the transmission of a report by that company. A vote of thanks was tendered to the officers of the Western Union Company, for the liberal treatment they have extended the independent papers, aud for the considerate arrangements they have offered in view of the coming transfer of lines. A general meeting will be held at the Star office, in this city, on the 21st of January, to finally close the negotiation.

The Yirginins Affair.

Washington special to the St. Louis Republican.

Appearances indicate that Senators Sumner and ISchurz will uuite with the Democratic Senators iu criticising unsparingly the conduct of the Administration in the Virgluius affair. Mr. Schurz is said to be of tbe opinion that the Administration will find it difficult to justify the bome'what precipitate measures wMch it adopted, especially when it Is considered that we were not satisfied that we had eveu a prima facie case, if our authorities were not really- satisfied that we had no case at all. He is inclined to characterize as au evidence of weakness the yielding to popular clamor on the part of the President and bis advisers. The investigation into the character of the Virginius should have preceeded any demands on the part of our Government, that such demands might be made in good faith, aud with an appreciation of all that they involved. Secretary Fish, he thinks, is entitled to great credit for resisting the pressure brought to bear upon him by the President, and other members of the Cabinet, who all showed an inclination to rush into combat without first ascertaining whether such course would be advisable or justifiable.

"THE UNKNOWN."

A Mystery of th- New York Art Studios—The Veiled •'Model." 1$ Froai tbe New YoilcOiai a

By the way, the progress we have made in tbe last ten years in {indirection of art studies is shown by the fact that, whereas a dozen years ago a female model was rare and expensive, they are now pieutiful aud cbeap.

Perhaps I should say that the applicants for employment as models are plentiful, rather than the models themselves. For here, as elsewhere, a good female mode! is extremely rare. Civilization spoils the female form. If a temale model has a fiue bust, her waist will usually be found absurd. If her body Is iifl right her legs are often all wrong

You see that corsets and Hg!»t garters, and tight shoes, »nd irregular living will reader auy woman uuttf to be a model.

And then a model c-iiinnt 1 ad dissolute life and still keep her ty of figure. To persons views on art topics coincide with th se of lire New Bedford st* wnirti who fined a bookseller for pUcii.g st.tttte ofAutoniusin his window, it may seem a contradiction of trrm- to ty that a good model mu-t be haste and modest but the faet remains the same nevertheless.

N-w, while poor models are as plenty as llet girls iu the "Crook," go.-d models are (-caret* everywhere.

But the

Who Is she? Well, -ho is a model of extraordinary beuut.v, h« persists in keeping her face veiled and her name a secret who will accept no pay, and who is refuted to be a rich and eminently respectable married lady.

I won't vouch for the truth of the story, but there are those who in 1st that it is true of their own knowledge.

It Is certainly a curious bit of romance, and the •'Unknown's" motives can only be guessed at. However, there is no absolute necessity that we should guess them at all.

The most curious of Chinese superstitions is the fuugshuy, geomancy. Tbe two words mean simply "wind and water but the true sense and import of this name for the superstition cannot be gathered from these words. The real ibject of the study and profession of the art of the fung shuy's to woo the good and ward oft the evil spirits,in whose existence and power to bless or curse, the Chinese apparently entertain a profound belief. As northerly wiuds blow' in China from October to the end of March, it is uot very burprising that the natives associate them with the death of nature, a* it were, and look upon that quarter of the compass as the one from which evil influences «11 emanate and as sontheily winds prevail during the rest and more cheerful part of the year, (hey conclude that all good and beneficial influences come from the south consequently, all the temples and houses which can he so constructed are built to face the sou ill. But it is iu the selection of sites lor graves that the talent of the professor of fung shuy is chiefly di.-played. A thoroughly good situation must be one open to the south, with nothing abruptly to check the flow of the southern blessing and to the north there must be some hill or rising ground, some tree or other object, to check, puzzle and defeat the tide of evil from that withering region. If the position he had, the dead irritated and annoyed by the uupieasnntinfluence from the north, ru:ke known their resentment by cau-ing sickness and other calamities

IIow England Solves Railroad Problems. From the Nation.

The British expedient for the solution of the railroad problem, the Railway Commission, appointed by an act of last session of Parliament for the decision of controversies between the corporations and the public—has recently had its first sitting, and a report of the proceedings has reached this country by mail. The experiment is one which we on this side of the- water would do well to Watch. Tbe commission is composed of a dry statistical politician, Sir Frederick Beel, a man eutirely wanting In maguetism a Queeu's counsel, Mr. McNamara, and an engineer, we believe, Mr. Price. Tlie jurisdiction of tlie Commission covers all complaints of the charges made by the companies, and all other disputes between them and tbe public, except such as relates-to damages for injuries actually sustained these art*, as heretofore, left to the courts. The cases which catne before "the Commissioners on the first day may help to give some idea of their powers and duties. They were only two in number. One was the complaint of the town council of Dover against a railroad company for not supplying Dover with adequata railroad accommodation, both as regards fares and the number of trains, and for giving undue preference, to tbe detriment of Dover, to Ramsgate Margate -uid stings, which are rival watering places. The other was that of an expressman or carrier, against another company, for giving themselves, through their agents, a preference over him in tlie collection aud delivery of goods. In every case tbe complaints are examined strictly on the point whether they have nsed all proper means to ob'ain redress directly from the railroad before coming trthe commission, as it is onlv when these

have

been exhausted

that a summon" is rented.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—Caleb Cushing called at the Whiie House yesterday, and accepted iu person ilie Spanish mission proffered by I he President. The appointment was brought about partly through B-n. Butler's influence, and if unquestionably in the interest of Attorney General Williams, who thus has

pow

competitor for Supreme Judgeship removed from bis path, aud at the same time secures an accession of New England influence for the confirmation.

The rumor is again received that Minister Schenck is coming home to be Secretary of the Treasury, and that Mr. Richardson is going to the Court of St. James.

Telegraphic News.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Henry G. Campbell, a book publisher of this city, who disappeared in September last, being a defaulter to the exteut of about $10,000, was brought here by detectives. Irouo iLdianapolis, yesterday, where he has been tracked and captured. He was committed to thr Tomb*, beiug charged with grand larceuy, forgery and embezilemeut.

The tolice and Sheriff's deputies are still at fault so far as regards the whereabouts of Geuet and bis associates. 1 he Times' Paris correspondence, giviugaii account of tbe trial of B±ztine, says the sentence was death, or military degredation In the Legion of Honor and the costs of the whole process of tlie trial. This latter would take 80,000 francs, every sou Baziiine has iu the world, and leave his wife and three children destitute. Wnen the sentence was passed Bazaine was not present. His couu*el brought him tbe news, privately, the Prosecutor, with a file of itohli^rs came soon after aud read it to Bazaiue. He desired to be shot immediately, if they wanted his life, lie was very calm while ibe others were agitated. He asked that his sou be with him tbe whole day after the seutence, which wasgrauted, as they feared be might commit suicide. Bazaine's wife acted heroically when he told her husband that he might escape death by military degradation, she exclaimeo, "Never, he would never consent to that. If you even propose it I shall soon be a widow." in this anticipation sbe prepared for a last interview with him, preparatory to euterlng a convent. When the sentence was announced to President McMahon he was at the head of a large dinner party, he exclaimed, "Condemned to death!" He turned very pale and sank into a chair, letting his head fall Into his huids. on being informed that the court had bigned a unanimous appeal for mercy. Sbe charged tin with having thrown all tbe responsibility on him. He declared that the fear of unpopularity would not deter him from u»ing his riirht

mercy. He treated Due

D. Aumalecooly. The Bishop of Orleans,"by an Interview, and Thiers, by letter, both urged him to be merciful. These and other influences, besides his own luclinations brought about the commutation of Baz line's sentence to simple exile.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27.—-Tbe verdict of the Corroner's jury in the case of Mrs. Scanlan, who was murdered by her husband on Christmas eve, charges the prisoner with murder In the first degree.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—The Virginius prisoners who arrived yesterday on board the Juniata still remain on board, at the Brooklyn navy yard, where the vessel was takeu. No communication Is allowed with them, who may now be considered United States prisoners. They area motley gathering, and nearly all appear to have a dash of nego blood. Stories obtained from some of them are pretty much the same in all the leading facts they deuy any knowledge of an organized expedition, and say they are peaceable men, and they were on board the Virginius in the capacity of ordinary passengers. They were going, they say, to Port Demon, iu Costa Rica, aud had the fare for their passage. They know nothing of any arms being employed, and didn't believe there were. On the other hand, it was said that some avowed being members of an organized expedition. The survivors are In good

health,

except

three, who suffered severely during the passage. They are all mad at not being permitted to'go ashore. The examination of the prisoners on board was commenced yesterday, by the District Attorney and the United States Commissioner. A large number of the prisoners were called to make statements, which were taken down In full by an official stenographer. It will be continued to-day. The offlcersof the Juniata state that there appears to be a concerted plan among the prisoners to profess their entire Ignorance to the nature of the Virginius at the time she was captured, and as to the transportation of arms for Cuba, it is thought that this action was agreed with a view to avoid trouble with the Government for a breach of the neutrality laws. They say the only Intelligent one of the survivors is Samuel Gray, alias Gratz, and he refuses to make any connected or Intelligent statement. His deposition, taken during the passage by Commander Braine, has been transmitted to Washington.

The Juniata left Santiago De Cuba °t

n'fJjftck

P. M., Dec. 18. When

about 120 miles liom-cupo xx»»tar»s she encountered a terrific gale from the northeast, which lasted eighteen hours and drove her sixty miles from her course. Oh the 23 she spoke the schooner Eddie Watert, from St. Helena, from New Bedford 52 days out, and short of provisions, which the Juniata supplied. Commander BraineIntended to put into Norfolk In consequence of the storm, but was unable to do so on account of the easterly gale, and so kept straight here. Grave doubts are expressed by the Juniata's officers as to the ability of the O^seppee to bring the Virginius here, In view of the tempestuous weather. The Virginius is in a poor condition to weaiher the rough gales which the Juniata had encountered.

The Times' Key West special, of December 28, says that the Fortune and Piua arrived this morning trom Cuba. All quiet at Santiago, but the Consul apprthends violence If left without the man-of-war, the Conandalgua, still there. A grand galy day was held yesterday at Matanzas, on the occasion of a public reception of Senor Soler, the Spanish Colonial Minister. Tbe Pinta brought back Blunt, who went to Havana on a special mission to the Admiral.

It is stated upon trustworthy authority that the Cuban Insurgents hive 6,000 men concentrated in the mountains around Puerta Principe, under Georia, and will soon make a descent upon that place.

Cespedes is still President of the Cuban Republic, and the patriots are preparing for a more vigorous campaign than any heretofore.

Last night the police made a raid upon a disreputable dance house in Grand street, known as tbe Union As-emUy Rooms, and arrested near 250 males, and 50 females. They were •n full blast and the participants were indulging in a waltz to the tune of the mulligan grubs. This establishment has for sometime been a resort of thieves and women of the lowest class. They were all locked up for a hearing to-day.

The steamship Gernainia, Captain Crowtll, which arrived at this port, yesterday, from Charleston, reports that Wednesday, the 24th, at 2 P. M., she sighted the Virginius off Cape Romaiu.

Alfred Wright, of the firm of Price fe Co., merchant tailors, corner of •Broadway and Fourth streets, was found in bis store Monday morning, dying from the effects of IntemperH"C» He died while being takeu to hi- h'.mc.

Palmer Copper and two boys, Jas. Grimes and James Riley, were yesterday committed, on a charge of setting fire to Muxlam's stables, Saturday, by which several horses were burned to d^ath. Copper employed the boys to fire the stables, to aveuge themselves against Muxlam.

The report that Daniel Drew was at the point of death last Saturday evening, was untrue. He has beeu very sick and confined to his bed, but is now recovering, and expects to lie about in a few days. The doctor says that his sickness was uot the result of the recent financial troubles as reported.

During the performance of the "Battle of Bunker Hill," at Barnum's Saturday evening, Albert Morris, the property man, was rendered totally blind by the accidental discharge of a musket, loaded with powder, in the bands of one of the performers.

Last night ihe round house of the Jetlersonv.ille Road was broken into and eight «.r ten engines were broken and damaged so as to make them unfit for. use for several days.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 29.—Elise Holt, an actress of some reputation, fi erly of the Lydia Thompson troupe, died last night at the Robituon House, iu this city, of typhoid pneumonia, after an illness of abaut two weeks.

A committee of locomotive engineers left last night for the Eist, to meet a committee from Altoona a Harrisburg, to confer with the officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad In regard to the proposed reduction of 10 per cent, of salarus, to take effect alter January 1st.

ANew Company Proposed. From tlie SprlngOeld Republican. All this Is as ghostly as the "Tale of Two Cities." But after all what Is to be done How will people ever die if they don't hav« doctors, and how can we have doctors, if he doctors can't have people who are dead? Argal, the chain of logic is complete. There mu-t be subjects. Now we have a plan by which these same can be procured hy the consent and connivance of the deceased owners and not without. We would charter the National American corpse company, with power to take liens on the cadaver of whoever was wliliuu to surrender his mains after death. Inducements should he hcM out to the public to take policies by the payment of annuities ny theoouipany,thesaine be estimated on the basis of the life insurance tables. A person in declining health would realize quite a revenue from the chance of the speedy opportunity of studying his anatomy, while a person in robust health would he paid less. There are plenty of people in the community who would be glad thus to fund their "debt to nature.". Beau Hickman, for instance, would have jumped at the chauce, and no man with the sentiment of justice in his breast can hot wis'h that that genial soul could have hail some of that $25 when he needed it, as he always did when above ground. These thousands of medical studeuts must he supplied some way, and the subject may as well he treated openly and rationally.

Tho Automatic Telegraph. Frniu the New York World. Postmaster-General Creswell having been taken to task for tbe complimentary expression iu bis report concerning the automatic telegraph, last evening resolved to make, good mil be had said and arranged with the Company for the transmission of tbe President's Message from Washington to thlscity. Accordingly, accompanied by Messrs. Ramsdell and Garfield, he took his stat'on in the Company's office In Washington, while Postmaster James represented him at this terminus. Sdtue prelim luary messages greeting and ar rangements were first sent, then, at precisely four minutes before ten, the President's message was announced to be coming, and aloud "tvliiz filled the office as a wheel began to revolve, turninir off "take" after "take" of the document. The whiz continued, broken only by short intermissions to supply new tape, uutil eighteen minutes and thirty seconds beyond the hour, when it stopped as suddenly as it begun, and the President's message of 12,000 words was in tbe office, in the form of twenty-three bundles of narrow paper, hung upon as many hooks. The time occupied In trausmis ion was twenty-two minutes and a half, and this with a single ire. The number of words a minute sent was 500. The message was then transmitted to Washington in about the same time It had taken to come, and then Postmaster James bade "Good nlitht" to the PostmasterGeneral, and Puck's promise to girdle tbe earth in forty minutes was put to shame.
