The statement of th. Li"dell house people completely upsets it, thev all uniting in bearing witness tha nothing improper could have transpired between elder Black and Miss Voss dur ing their brief stay there.

The amended story is to the effect that Black and the girl left the Lindell and went to the 'lantei's where they regis tered as Wnv T. Blake. Indianapolis, and ra E. Beck. Cleveland, and w. re signed to room

96,

where they passed th.

njght. It is alleged tha' the entry on the register is in elder Black's handwriting Here again we are not only asked to bt lieve that elder Black is a fool, but are astounded at the incomprehensiblecondnct of the. hotel clerk. Would any sane man. contemplate such an act as Mr. Black ischarged with, register himself in one name and his paramour in a..^uier na.ne, andask tobe assigned to the same room? And if he did not make •uch a request, what could the clerk of a respectable hotel like th*i Planters do hut kick him incontinently into the street? Yet we are asked to believe that the clerk of. the Planter's assigned Wm.T. Blake, •f Indianapolis, and Coia E. Beck, 01 Cleveland, to room 96, without thinking that there was any impropriety in it. These weak points, passing over such *iinor discrepancies as the 'light moustache" worn at the'Planter's by Wn. Blake, of Indianapolis, afford go *d grounds for doubting the story.' But elder Black does not trust his defense to the want of coherence and consistency in the narrative. He professes to be able to yrove his innocence beyond a possibility ot doubt, by affidavits, showing that, after leaving the Lindell,he took Miss Voss

to a private house, kept by a widow, who is an old acquaintance of the Vost-es. while he went to a European hotel, took room, retired and slept the sleep of the ju-t till morning. Persons who have se. these affidavits, all made out in due form, and sworn to before a notary, say that, without impeaching them, the castfall# to the ground, and the elder is triumphantly acquitted." Tliey will begiveithe public, we are assured, at the proper time

Elder Black's story, as narrated to the editor of the Herald, is a* follows. cameto our office Saturday morning, and said that he had no ubt the publication in the Sentinel meant hi though no names were mentioned, an that there was just enough truth in it U, make an ugly story, lie says thai he has lived long in Voss's family, and been as intimate with the girl as if she wer, .iissister—that he has been much in lie .ociety, and has often got in her bug^} in the street, and she has often got into his. He had been informed that thisintimacy was the occasion of some go* sip but, conscious of his own innocence and knowing that the parents of the ady had full confidence in :oth of th- m. he thndght nothing of it. He told Miss Voss h-* was going as far aShelbyville, Iilinois, Thursday, and if F.IK had no company he would see hei that far on her journey to Kansas. She accordingly telegraphed hiin at 1 erri Haute, and he got on the train. He had nly intended going to Sholbvv:lle, but ^he was taken sick on the train, and at ier solicitation he accompanied her to St. Louis. The train was three hours behind time, and that was how they came to stop over night. He declares he knovvf nothing about the alleged registration at the Planter's house, and if it is in his hand writing it is a forgery.

So much for the story. The Herald neither defends nor accuses. It simph har reviewed the evidence for the prosecution, and pointed out its weak spots But it wishes to say something in conclusion, about that singular trait in human nature which brings the mass of mankind down, like a pack of raving wolves, upon an unfortunate brother who is caught in an offense like that with which clde* Hlack is charged. We assume that thenis not an able bodied man on top of the eaith who, under certain circumstances, is not liable to depart from the path of rectitude. 0 course we know that a fair proport on of manki'. have virtue enough to keep them from hunting sin, and that under unfavorable circumstances they will remain virtuous.

punishment when detection, tends to keep the matter straight. But there is inborn in the mala human a sort of bsrn yard element which makes all men intolerant to this peculiar 6in, when committed by anybody else. Although a rooster may have a hundred hens at his heck and call, it makes him indignant and furious to see another cock displaying any ot liis gallantries in a neighboring yard. It is with men, the vile hypocrites and it is the rakes of society who manifest thf greatect amount of virtuous indignation. Thieves, bu« glars, counterfeiters and other sinners will shield each other. It is onlv this particular class of sinner* that devour each other. How many ot the roosters who are now chuckling over the alleged escapade of Mr. Black, or lifting their hands in simulated horror, are qualified for the role of Joseph Is it not envy, in a majority of instances rather than virtue, that makes men yelp so loudlv on the trail of an erring brother?

We sincerely trust that elder Black will come out of this ordeal without so much as the smell of fire on his gar ments. The editor of the Herald ha known him for twenty years, and during nat time his name has been singulail free from imputations of this kind. Hfe has been remarkably free from cant He never groans without something hurt him, and has none of the dyspeptic el«ent in religion.

SOMETHING ABOUT GERMAN SATING PLACES. Correspondence New York World:

Vienna,

Oct 21.—A look at German

cooking and German appetite to-day shows that the taste of the nation has greatly improved during the last twenty

or twenty-five

years, The taste in the

cities, especially, i» much better, and while there is still the demand in every German constitution for the historic sausage, ham and strong cheese, there is a germ of desire for French food and Frejich ways 01

preparing

it growiag rapidly up among

the higher social classes. To see the

German eating of the past one has only to go into the couniiy and smaller towns, and even in the cities ther* are restaurants which cling to the ancient and timc-honorid onion-flavored dishes, to the union of sweets and sours in a manner wiich causes the uninitiated stomach to rise in rebellion. The Germans are eminently an eating nation. They are capable of eating at all times. Any one vho has been unfortunate enough to sit in the top gallery of a German theatre knows well how the fall of the curtain between the acts is the signal for a raid upon lunch baskets, or even upon pockets, in which the unresisting sausage is concealed. To the devotee at he shrine of classical ITTU--ic there is something xsthetically inspiring in the sigh of a family consuming cutlets and potato salad to the accompaniment of one of Bethoven' symphonies. Every railroad station con *ains a restaurant. It is remarkable how -nuch time is taken up in eating. Tin idea of a poor appetite being romantic fascinating seems never to enter the mind even of the most sentim-ntal mis-

While every nation has its peculiar tast. ir eating, there is certainly a pretty deii nate standard of excellence, just as ii uusic or painting. John Bull may pre er his own solid dishes to Fr-nch plates, ind Uncle Sam his pies and unwhol.me hot bread to Scotch itmeal, an he Italian, the German or the Chinch's ma-aroni or sauerkrout or ric 0 all other dishes, how ver tempting and yet there is -tandnrd

celial un his arrival there he fouiv at his cousin ASgisthus, whom he had left as the guardian of his king dom and ot his wife, had baseh betrayed his trust and was living in adul tery with Clytemnestra. The guilty couple immediately resolved to add to their other crime by murdering him, and took the opportunity of a banquet given 10 celebrate his safe arrival. It is related that as he came from the bath Cly

the

blows of a hatchet, while her lover, ^Egishus, assisted. At the same time several of his companions perished, and amonp them Cassandra, whe had warned him of his fate. This murder ibrms the plot of the "Agamemnon" of ^Eschylus, the first of tingreat dramatic triumvirate, while the return of Orestes and the death of Clytemnestra at his hands form those of the "Electra" and Orestes."

Mycense, the scene of this terrible tragedy, was an ancient town in Argoliw, about six miles to the northeast of Argos and is situated on a little hill at the head ){a narrow val'ey. During the reign of Agamemnon it was considered the chief city in the Peloponnesus, but atter the Dori:\n invasion it ceased to be a place of importance. It continued, nowever, to be an independent town until the vear 468 B. C., when it was attack ed by the Argives. who having educed the inhabitants by famine, razeu he town level with the adjoining country, itrabo states that the destruction of this amnus city was so complete that not a •estige of it remained in his time. But 'ausanias, who lived after Strabo's time, vlates that the ancient walls and tombstill existed in his time, and se are the relics of antiquity whu.. !~)r. Schliemann has now, after much atient research, succeeded in nnearihing. Pausanias states that when '.ie visited Mycense a considerable part 01 the wall still remained standing, and the jreat gate, with its lions at either side, is there up to to the present day.^ These works were attributed to the Cyclops, who are said to have assisted Praetus in -•uilding the walls ot Tiryns. Hence his massive style of architecture is called Cyclopean Here Pausanias saw also the 1 derground chambers of Atreu.md his children, whtre they kept their treasure. Also the tomb of Atreu md those of the companions of Agamem non, who were.slain by yEgisthus. There vas some doubt whether the tomb ol Cassandra was there or not, but those ot Agamemnon and his charioteer Eury nedon, as well as the twin sons of Cassandra. supposed to have been also murlered by ^Ejjisthus, were there. Cly ten. lestraand ^Egisthus were buried not far awav, but outside the wall.

excellence which I am no

cook or epicure enough to define. Ingen '•ral, eating is at its bes* where it ceases tr .e a mere means of sa isfying hunge (thatisa barbarous idea) or even to sit. the tast of the average man. It is at sent when it becomes a process and- pro luct of artistic stud- In proportion a1 kives the the field of art and become simply an animal occupation or enjo\ 1 ent, it is depraved. The French pro! ably eat more aesthetically than am ther nation,although lam not prepare say Jhat the Cafe Anglais or Maiso Dorte or Cafe Voisin can equal iJelmon.1:0 or some others of our New York res'u rants.

It is the introduction of French stvl. nto these American kitchens, however vhich gives them th. ir distinction Therefore, while a dogmatism in sucl natter is very absurd, I thin* I am saf in saying that, in so far as the French re do in at in at in country, in so far is that country' palatwell educated. The improvemenl in th German cuisine arises from that ever -ource. They do not acknowledge it generally, but the fact rem 'ins the same The cheapness of these better German restaurants is astonishing. The lack o' rariety in some of them is quite is much They arc very littK frequented in the early part of the dav ind if there should be as many people it he morning as one sees at Delmonico' jrthe Hoff-nan house or the Brunswick ther* would be good grounds for fearing ome great social movement.

THE VIEWS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. It is refreshing to turn aside from the clamor of partisanship and the usurpaions of nower at Washington, to con sider the "calm, becoming, and upright demeanor of a president who appreciated he dignity of his office, whose whole ca reer was a model of deference to the constitution and laws, and who set the •xartiple of exerting the least, instead of 'he most, authority in the discharge oi verv duty as chief tnagi.*tra!e.

After the election of

1864,

Mr. Wilson

of fowa, offered a resolution in the Hous. if Representatives (Dec.

19, 1S64,)

claring that no electoral votes should be received from the States of Alabama, Florida. Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi. North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten lessee, Texas and Virginia. It was reported back unanimously from the Judiciarv committee on Jan.

It encountered very positive opposi tion in the Senate, especially in regard t(the proposed exclusion of Loui-.irna tvhich it was maintained, had been fulh restored to the Union, and of whict Michael

ed Governor. In spite of this o--p .suioii. however, the joint resolution was passebv the Senate on Fe

known

In the end, Mr, Lincoln concluded to sign the joint resolution. The reasou which he gives for that act, and his gen eral views on the subject^ have singular point at this time, and are worthy of the careful study of all candid men who revere the memory, the virtues, the integrity, the sagacity and patriotism of Abra-

ham Lincoln. Here is his short message: To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives:

The joint resolution, entitled "joint resolution declaring certain Sta es not entitled to representation in the electoral college," has been signed bv the Executive, in deference to the views of Congress, imp ied in its passage and presentation to him. In his own view, however, the two Houses of Congress con vened under the twelfth article of thi Constitution, have, complete power exclude from counting all electoral votes deemed by them to be illegal. And it

not competent for the Executive to «B ieat or obstruct that power by a veto, would be the cas if his action were at al ssential in the matter. I Ie disclaim ill right ef the Executive to interfere ii any way in the matter of canvassing

counting electoral votes, and he also dw :laims that by signing said resolution I l.id expressed any opinion on the recital of the preamble, or any judgement is own upon the subject of the resolu ion.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,

Feb.,

S, 1S65

Two propositi ns are laid down clear and emphatically in this message •~ir»t, that the two Houses have complet iowerto exclude from counting all elt-c oral votes deemed by them to be illega nd therefore their action is not merely Ministerial, as is contended hy the Re•ublican managers, w. have becam •uddenly technical since the carp.t-b.i Governors are ready to certify elector •juried bv the people, but counted in by turning Boards.

Secondly, that the Executive should iot'-interfere in any way in the ma'.ie canvassing or counting the electora v'ates." If Gen. Grant had followed thi.ule, and adapted the principle whicl ,uided the conduct of Mr. Lincoln, how litiererit would be the condition of tin jountry to-day.

The onsideration of the motion to print tin )loody recitation John Sherman brought uick from New Orleans provoked a genral political debate The latter indulged his usual platitudes concerning politi :al murders in the South, and West am' himself cited one case in particular as •'cnliariv aggravated political murder Stevenson, of Kentucky, "sat down" on oth by stating that the identical :ase referred to was not a politi :al butchery, as had been alleged, ami hat Governor Warmoth had, in New Orleans, told Redresentative Watterson hat the person put to death was hung by a mob of bo*h Republicans and Demcrats for the offence of poisoning. Mr. Stevenson was too ill to continue thi speech, but Mr Thurman took his text and made ap®*erful one. He asser'eti thit he was read^ to prove that the Re publican party was responsible for thi formation of the color line, and charged •hat they had purposely labored to antagonize the races. Repnblican Senator* he said, had asserted an the floor of the Senate, when the Fifteenth Amendmam to the Constitution was pending, that the Republican party needed the eight hundred thousand colored votes of the South. Turning sharply to Morton, he roared: "They do not need them to-day, badly. They don't get them, and thai is just what is the matter"

THE HANCOCK MYSTERY. "Old Tecumseh," after all, is playing the role of deception again. He denied hat General Hancock had been ordereu to San Francisco. His denial was true and it was not The truth has leakeout that the memoranda for the transfer sig.ted by Sherman was sent to AdjndantGeneral Townsend, and the order was actually issued and signed officially by nim. Meanwhile the fact was prematurely announced in an Albany newspaper. Then a reconsideration of the order was hs^c4, and, to r*move all traces bt tne act of issuing, it was burned, and thc s- ub of the books of the, iAdjutant-Gener al'8 office obliterated.

During the suspense caused by doubts as to the President's final action, the now famous twen-tv-second rule was proposed and rushed through both Houses in order to provide for the possible contingency of a veto of the joint resolution, and to confer po*e: to accomplish the same object in another form

Sensible Letter Regartfirrg the Award Made This Noble Piano at the Centennial*

To the Editor of the ritmne. Sir: The newspapers have tn-.-n lately teeming with ingeniously worded advertisements regarding the awards. The* lublications have been skillhiltjv prepared .0 as to convey the impression that is that exhibitor has really rtceivol .he ighest and best award. I'hus instead of ntorming th public as to the true stat« ol affairs they have simply confused the reader. Visitors at the Centennial find 'hemselves bewildered bv the adverse .-laims to di stinction, which they find 'lacarded 011 every hand, and they do not '.now which way to turn to discover the 'ruth. In no department has this system of misrepresentation been carried tose. reat an extent as that dt voted 10 piatio•rtes. There has been "a war" between iano exhibitors since the exhibition pencd, and a regular skirmish line

lacards since th." a wants were nffirli ly announced. They have vied uch other in the use of ex'.ravage -u^u ige to prove their respective claims :o distinction. The most ingenious methods have been devised disinterested correspondents, whose sole object was to instruct the ignorant public, have volun* 'eered their services (for a consideration} ex judges cf awards, in the interest.! ertain piano manu acturers, have made ,»retended revelations of l!i" secrets of he jury room, for the sake o' supporting ihe claims of their partio'l lavcrites, ind lightning calulaton, h.u been appealed to and have foun.. convenient nathematicai rules bv which to establish ibsolutely the supremacy of their clients, the pretense of the so much absu^e maxim that figures cannot lie. A11 the .'fforts while ridiculous to those acquaintwith the subject, have been attempt* to influence the unitiated. I., fact, he piano men have left nothing undone mislead the public, and by their eft'ort6 have caused everything relating to pianos 1.1 be looked upon with distrust, and have made themselves the laughing stock the public. By these means injustice is not only done to the public, but to those who are not only entitled to the eading position, but who were awarded by judges. Your correspondent has a'ken the trouble to submit all the varous reports, which are the ha-is of the iwards, to a careful scrutiny and comlarison, and the result is that the pianos if Wm. Knabe

St Co.

are found to head

the list- This house from the commencement of the exhibition, relied solely upon the merits of their instruments to secure them a just award and since the official announcement, although they were decreed the highest honors in the piano department, they have modestly remained the back ground It is fortunate that lie judges in preparing the Knabe icport, so framed it as to leave no doubt. iWout their prominence. The especially emmended all their four styles of pianos ,V concert grand, square and uprights, and accorded them the praise of uneaquated xcellence in all the details of perfect instruments. The report is plain, straight* forward and comprehensive, specifying ill the elements of merit .vhich it is possible for the best piano fort to possess— |ower, rieffless, and singing quality of' tone, ease and elasticity of touch effectiveness of action solidity and origlnali- „.. tv of construction and excellence of workmanship. B^ comparing it with he other reports in the same department even the most skeptical will acknowledge that no stronger language could have been used to express the unanimous approval of the judges.
