THE CHICAGO DATLY TRIBUNE: THURSD, OCTOBER %4, 1873, OUR MERCHANT MARINE Great Increase in the Value ot Vessel Property. The Grain and Lumber Trade of Chicago. Many New Vessels Building for this City--The Tugs: There is but little ship-building done a¢ this port, owing to the caroity of timber. - Nearly all the sailing vessels owned in Chicago are con- structed at Manitowoc, Green Bay, Sheboygan, and Baginaw, and the stearers and propellers at Cleveland. The Peerless, City of Traverse, and many of our finest steam vessels were built at the dock-yards in the latter city. Goodrich’s side wheelers and propellers were constructed at Manitowoe. During the season 1now drawing to a close, vessel property bas been very valuable {freights having been nearly double what they ‘were during previous years. In consequence of the advanced rates, Iarge contracts have tbeen mede with shipbuilders at the ports mentioned for the conetruction of ‘addi- tional veesels, most of which are for Chicago. Work has salready been commenced on them, and it is expected that they will be completed and ready for service upon the open- ing of navigation next spring. THE VESSELS CONSTRUCTING ure intended almost exclusively for the grain trade. An A 1 vessel—the highest grainrate —costs sbout $20,000, and this season's profits, estimating seven round trips to Buffalo, netted from 10,000 to $12,000. The present season, however, was an oxtraordinary one, the profits iest year yielding only a fair interest on the capi- tal invested. Grain vessels of larger “Pui:’ix— over 0,000 bushels—cost about $1.20 per bushel capacity ; and the larger the hull the greateris the rate of profit, as the expenseof navigatingn 1arge propeller or echooner is little moFe than that required to sail a smaller onme; the number of the crew is the same, and no more time is required to make = trip. There sre ves- sels in this trade which carry 60,000, but they draw g0 much water that considerable difficulty is encountered .in entering some of the lzko gorts. Hence the vessel having a capacity of 0,000 bushels is preferable, 88 vexatious delays and unnecessary expense resulting therefrom are avoided. The average capacity of the fleet constructing is 40,000 bushels, THE LUMBER FLEET. . The largest and best vessels engaged in the lumber trade rate as C 1, and have a_capacity of about 200,000 feet. Such a vessel costa £9,000, and, with “good luck," netted about 5,000 thia season. Three years ngo steam and fow barges were introduced into the lum- ‘ber h—n&a by the Peshtigo Lumber Com- any, and since that time have carried 6 company's timber from Green Bay to Chi- «<ago, tugs being employed to tow the buigs to and from thess ports. The same company has al- 80 established two lines between Menominee and Ohicago, Leeping constantly employed seven barges and two tugs., By this srrangement they Bavo time and reducoe the cost of transportation, and have been eo successful in the undertaking 1hat some of the advocates of the system assert that within ten yeara there Will not be a lumber- ocarrying vessel unaccompanied by a tug engag- ed in the trade. Any old hull that will float is considered good enongh to carry boards, and when grain vessels beceme old and leaky they are converted into lumber barges. THE DEMAXD FOR VESSELS nce the fire has not decreased, on the contrary transportation by water has been greatly in excess of that during last season. There has been employed Quring this year on the lakes over 2,000 vessels, with a tonago of 680,463. Of these veesels 650 are ownedin the Chicago Cus- 2om House district. They was mostly engaged in g grain to Eastern ports, the charges by m.yd?l the lakes being much lesg than by rail- o The elevators, with & capscity of 20,000,000 bushels, are usually fall during the winter months. ortation was not interrupted Ety the fire, more vessels baving arrived and leared from this port than during any previous yeer. 5 ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES, There have arrived in Chicago during the gmant season 446 steamers, 1,217 propellers, 404 arks, 141 brigs, 8,368 schocners, and 544 barges, Tepresenting & tonnage of 2,705,792, e clearances wera: Steamers, 426; propel- lers, 1,211; barks, 398 ; brigs, 145: achooners, 8,801 ; 'barges, 635; tonnage, 2,724,021, THE FORPIGN FLEET. It a8 no unusual gight to see a foreign ves- #el, with the flag-of her country floating from the peak, in the harbor this season. There were _ 122 foreign anivals; tonosge, 94,847; and 123 clearances ; tonnage, 34,1 The Ameri~ can veasels from forelgn ports numbered £3; tonnsge, 14,871 ; and the clearances, 802; ton- nege, 81,781, ere have arrived at this port thus far during #he present year 11,291 vessels; cleared, 11,174, For 1870 there wers 12,739 arrivals and 12,624 de- ?ut\uea. Although the number this year was iesg, the carrying capacity of the vessels was much greater. - 5 The arrivals atall the ports in the United Btates of vessels engaged in foreign trades were 29,808, and the clearances 29,363. E A compatison of the flgurea given sbove wil show that the commercial marine identified with' Chicago i8 nearly one-half 25 many in numbers a8 that of all the other ports in the country. THE FLEET OF TUG-BOATS, , indispensible at this port, numbers forty-six, and the capital invested in them is said fo be §500,000. "~ They esrn during & season about 2400,000. There is great com&efition among the owners, snd & monopoly of the businees be- ing imposaible, the charges for towing are low enough £o be satisfactory to vessel Captains and to pay the fug-men good interest on their in- ‘vestment. 3y the use of the tugs, up-river dook gl‘op;!l‘ty is a8 valuable as that near the mouthof the stream, and without chesp towing much of the present dock property would be nu- available. The average charge for towing in and out of the harbor is 20 cents & thoussnd feet for lumber, and & quarter of a cent per bushel for grain. THE PROFITS. , The Buffalo Courier says: It baa becomo ‘moised sbroad that very extensive Profits, and in some case largo_fortunes, have Leen realized Auring the past season by some of the _vessel - owners of Buffalo, and tnquiry proves this to e the fact. Thase who aro posted say that since 1866 there ‘s not been a season to compare with the present for prosperity o owners of vessels, either propellers or ‘mlling ~craft, The chlef resson for 1bis hus been the unprecedented demsnd for the dron ore of Lake Buperior. Some of our vesselyware yut in commission for thif trade last yesr, at rates of 8bout £2 per ton, which sffords only a fair remunera~ tion; but those which have been left free have been ablo to obtaln as bigh as $6.50 per fon for transporta- tion of irop ore, This, it 38 reckoned, Is abont equiy lent 1o obtaining 163 cents pet bushel for carrying ‘wheat, whereas § cenis per bushel isa paying rate, ‘The fact that large number of vessels havs been in commis- sion during the eeason for carrying iron has made the demand grest for grain-carrying vessels, and tho uatural resnlt has been to raise this clasa of freights. The fortunate owners of disengsged vessels bave, in conssquence, Teaped harvests, We hear the profits of D6 exlensive vessel owner rafed aa Ligh as $300,000, while several gentlemen sro credited with a third o that sum 24 the results of the earninye uf thelr Veesels Qariug the season of 1872, ¥ . THE OGDEN DITCH. The Dam Broken Away and the Water of tho Desplaincs Running Into Chie= cago River. ‘There was an imporiant conferenco inthe offico of the Doard ot Pablic Works yesterday stternoon. In zddition to the membersof the Board, there were present Mayor Medill, Corpo- ation. Counsel Tuley, and Commiseioner Tal- cott, of the Board of Police. Tho subject under copeideration waa the Ogden diich, Which runs 1rom the Desplaines River to the west fork of the Bouth Branch. It will be remembered that Mr. Ogden, Mr. Nickereon, and othere, who own property between the west fork of the South Branch and the Despluines River, cat s ditch through their land wWith s view of en- hsocing its value by conetructing. docks elong the water front.. When the fact come to the knowledge of the city authori- ties, they protested against it, and a dam was built at the junction, between the ditch and the Desplaines, and the flow of water stopped. The water ran through the ditch only & hort time, Lut long enough to demonstrate that, if permit- ted to do 80 continuously, the South Branch, gouth of the monthof the west fork, andthe canal, would be filled up,and the $3,000,000 e cspel is just sufficlent to carry off g:u water from the Sontb, Branch, and by increasing the water <flow, s this ditch did, every ndditional gallon dimin- ighed the power of the canal to draw water from the lake, The prolest of ‘ the authorities haviog beeu heeded, no further attention was paid to the subject. The dam, h.owever, has re- contly been cut or washed away,(1nd there isnow flowing through the ditch into tle South Branch, by wayof the west fork, s column of water twenty-five feet wide by eighteen inches deep. Send and mud, as before, are carried along, and deposited in the river and ¢anal. None of the property owners interested,in the land adjacent to the ditch ars st present In the city, and hence Do explanation as to the reopenini of the ditch can be hed. The poople liying slong the D“%}‘j‘"‘“ River, south of - its junction with the diteh, are without water, the cut com- pletely ghutting them off, and they are com- plaining bitterly. Tirey have & legal remedy, and wil{ undoubtedly bring suit against the ditchers, unless the ditch is closed up. Thecity suthorities can_do nothing, the_junction being outside of their jurisdiction. If another dam is nat constructed, incalculable injury will be done to the dock property fronting the South Bramch, and the canal in a very short time be unnavigable, and useless as a purifier of the Chicago River. : The conference yestorday was informal, and no action was taken. RAILROAD FREIGHTS. The Tariffsand Eusiness of the Year— The Recent Advance in Freight Rates. X . The railroad companies, on lines between Chi- cago and the sea-board, have recently advanced their freight-charges. A referonce to the bus- iness of the year will be of interest. The fall of 1871 found these lines engaged in & competition all felt to be destructive to pmfite, but carried on for a purpose of the special kind thet is no novelty in railroad annels. All classes of freight westward were taken at & uniform rate of 80 cents per bundred. This could not lsst, but while it lasted shippers reaped a harvest. Said a leading merchant of Chicago, “The low freights Tad placed in Chicago, in time for the. fire, milliona of dollars’ worth .of merchandire: more than would have bev”u brought here at the rate usual at the sesson.” On Thursdsy, Oct . 5, 1871, tho railroad companies came to an agree - ment to call off the fight, and a tariff at $1.95f¢ r first-class to Chicago, and other points in prv tion was fixed to go into operation on_Monds y, Oct. 9. That day found Chicsgoin ruins. 146 have never been disposed to deny that corpo’ ra~ tions have souls, snd perhaps the credit!nas never been fully given these freight lines for the fact that they geueronsly met our emery on-- cy by an extension of the cheap tariff to No» 7 when the new freight tariff went into e.ffect. From Nov. 27, 1871, to Aug. 1, 1877, fireii-class freight, New York 'to_Chicago, was’ S1.35 per hundred. From Aug.1 to Bept.. 9, the date for ssmeowas 75 cents. ~From Ser,t, 2 to Oect. 14, €1.00. On Oct. 14 rates were brought back to the old rate of $1.25. It will ba noted that the reduction follows closely the, season of greatest competition on the waterray ites by lnke snd canal, and has swung back 28 odvanced marine rates and rieks takes off this essure. Eastward " freights 10 m Chicago to New York are, howevar, the lesd¥ng topic of discussion and interest, especially- the recent adivance in ourth class from 40st0 60 conts per bundred. This touchea the whvole range of shipnzents of grain mz!gwnsinna, and is one of the present added burdens of the market. Tho imte, we believe, is conceded to be 10 cents higher tlan the corresponding rates last season. The ra ilroads find their reason for this advance in theim mense pressure upon their facilities at this e sason. At least one of the three great lines is rovlsing ol THIEVES" RESORTS. All-Night Houses and Assig- nation Restaurants. Midnight Supper Rooms and Basememt Concert Saloons. Concert saloorys, all-night houses, and nssig- nation restauraists, are social plague-spots with which all Jarge cities are cursed in a greater or less degree. Of the two former Chicago hes a moderato supply, and of the third a surplus. These establist onents are the representatives of all that is vile and wicked in their class. If public moralitytis.the end sought to be atbained Dy the friends of. temperance, they shonld nob ceago theirlsborethecause the enforcement of the Sunday Liquor Jaw ie & matter of fact. There are other abuses cannected with the rotail liquor traffic that need conrection, and that never will be corrected withoul: persiatent agitation on the part of rhe moral and intelligent portion of the community. The selling of intoxicatimg drinks on Bunday, while it may be & meri- ous offence againet society and law, i8 not the most obnoxionis feature of the trade. 1t becomes an insignificnt error when contrasted with the crime of tlaose who run the concert sa- Ioons, the midnight.supper-rooms, and the alls night houses that disgrace some of our hest thoroughfares. Tliexe mey bo & few honorablo exception.s in the ist,—men whose false notioms of enteprige in mpney-getting induced them to embar’s in the diteputable business, and who are &oing their utanost to invest it with a re- 8per tability that is foreign to its nature and Do’ rons,—but it i hard to ind them in this city. ' hour in the vicinity of any of these honses, ‘spent in observation of the sppesrance and sc- tions of its customers, will furnish an instruct- iva lesson to any one who desires to be a philan- thropist or reformer. Of the threa evils, the class of restaurants reforred to i perhaps the most dangerous. Some of these es- tsblishments sre gotten up without To- gard to expense, and present an appearance of Tespectability that is caleulated to deceive tho majority of people. All that can be seen from the stroet is decent enough. At night the supper rooms on the second floor are thrown open for the .accommodation of everybody. No quostions ore asked, but the prices of refresh~ -meuts are-doubled, aud in some places trebled. The unescorted female, no matter how late the hour, is permitted to dodgo in .and out by the sido entrance, aud no secount is tuken of Ler comings and goings. Gamblers and thieves ara allowed to hang about the daor, and are treated with a8 much courtesy as_if they were men of character. Restaurautg of this kind are de- signed to catch the custom of mon and Women of apparent respectability but of secret immor- ality, bnt unfortunsiely they frequently find paying patrons among young and_inexperienced people, The avarage ice~cream salaon 18 & lower grade of this clags of public house, and is patron- izod for eimilar purposes by a lower grade of peaple. The greasy valance and white_curtaing ith which its doors and windows are decorated Tide a great desl of vice, for the Bleogy' proprie- tor is_indifferent to the conduct of his guests provided thoy pay his charges without queation- ing the correctness of them. The effect of thesa m?par rooms and restaurants upon the youth of Toth sexes cannot be other than demoralizing in ho exbremo. 1t is tho policy of {he propristors toBeek tho patronsgo of this class, and allow them to teke liberties that eventually result in to forward from Chicago grain from ronds from the West, and cannot resume until a lot-u comes to their rolling stock detained for .loc: business at this season at.all parts of their 1:0ad. The Statelaws, as theyeshould do, give these local points & stringent \remedy in case their quota of rolling stock ig denied them, and at Erasant the only through. cars to_Chicago from. astern roads sre thows loaded for Chicago. This pressure will be off. in a short time, and to the relief of Chicago shippers. FIFTH WARD ALDERMAN.

The Chicago concert aloons are disgusting places. No person with any pro- tentions to decency cab onter one of them with- out & shudder. They are invariably in low, damp ‘basements, and are as devoid of neatness ag of respectability. The patrone are composed of tho scum of society,~—ignorant, bosotted brates who aro ready for anything but work. The police au- thoritie have always understood that these con- cert halls perpetuslly violated the city ordinanco relative to that species of nuisanco; that they were mothing but resorts for thieves; that atrangers who were unfortunate unough to drop fato them by accident vere beaten and robbed of all they possessed; that one-half of the bur- laries, highway robberies, and other criminal Sopredations of the same slase were concocted in'them and committed by tho people who fre- quent them, yat no ane .ever heard of & concert- Ball being broken up by force of & law.. A fow nights since, the doorkeeper of one 0f these digrepntable institutions was stsbbed aund deu- gerously injured by & patron, but the house was not disturbed by the police, and it is still in full blast. While the anthorities treat nurserios of crime with such indifference, the efforts of asso- ciations of _ citizens in favor of reform will be without effect. The rerformances at those laces are of the vilest possible description. 'he performers are, almost withont exception, unfortunate inebriates,. who -air what- little hnawlex?e of music or tho drams they &neseaa for o fow dollars week ond the they can hold. _Their obscenity is fearful, and is always loudly ap- Flludefl by the degraded wreiches in front of hem. 1tis no wonder that the concert-saloon is the haunt of all that is criminsl, for none but those of the very lowest type of humanity could take delight in the performances. Theso spew out their contents nsually abont 13 or 1 o'clock, and then the majorit) the *“ patrons™ are shelterless. Those of them who have any criminal business to transact proceed to do so without delsy ; those who are too cowardly to steal, and too lazy to earn_an honest living, be- take themaolves to the all-night houses, where »they spend the remainder of the time nntil dsy- Tight. Where they eat or slecp is a mystery. 1If agitation can abolish these institutions of evil as effectually as it has brought about the enforcement of the Bundsy Liquor law, societ; will bo immensely benefited, and the Bridewell doors will be thrown open to 4 clasa of people who are out of their ephere outside of them. R N — President Lincoln and Secretary Sewa ard. New York Correspondence of the Boston Journal, Just before Mr. Seward hauded over the De- partment of Statoto the Premier of General Grant's Administration, I called on the Secre- fary at his official residence. He wag in fine health and epirits, and s{qnc an hour in chatty conversation, President Lincoln _being the sub- ject of the talk. Mr. Lincoln, he smd, carried with him through his whole career as President, the simple bhabits which merked him in is law practice in Springfield. If he . wanted anything of the Departments, in- astead of ringing the bell and _calling & messen- ger, he would take his hat and run._round from one office to another, just as one lawyer would n round to the office of a brother practitioner. "If missed at night, thoso in the secret comld Etrack him from place to place and be sure to 120me up with the President in some one of his ©favorito baunts. He sow no resson why he ehonld not cnjoy himsclf as President as dwell gs when he Was plain Abraham Lincoln. *The President had the utmost horror of forms and red tape. Ho did not care how things were , done provided they were done. Adjutant Gen- * exal Thomas was sent out to relioye General Grant. Before he had s chance to serve his papers Vicksburg surrendered and Thomas did not daro disturb matters, 80 ho came home to make his peace with the President; for a8 o soldier—and in time of war—he had vio- Jated orders. He sent a friend to sound the President on his return to Washington. Tho President was delighted with the surrendert Rubbivg his hands he said: *Tell Thomas to come in. He did just right. He ought to have Deen shot if he had obeyed orders.” One day a lady came to Mr. Seward’s office and handed him ® serap of paper, on which was scribbled a few lines. The purport of the note was: * Let this woman have £100 on account of tho Secret Service Fund, and send her on her mission.” The note waa signed A. L. It is well known that Congress -votes the Presi- dent from £60,000 to $100,000 annuslly as @ Secret Servico Fund. Of this the Secrefary of State is the custo. dian. He must countersign the President’s or- der or not & dollar of the fund can be need. But after the President receives the money nobody can inquire what he does with it. BIr. Seward inquired of the woman what secret service sho was to perform that would justifyhis paying her $100, “ Well, she was going to England to creato o x)uhlic gentiment there in favor of our country.” Tho cage was what Mr. Seward sup- posed.” Tho woman had been banging round the White House, bothering the life out of tha President, and to get rid of her lie proposed to give her £100. “f can give you no money for guch & purpose,” said the Secretary of Siate, “Your services aro worlh mnothing. In JLondon you- would be a_damage and not = benefit to ws, I can't throw away the people’s money in that fashion for you.” The lady wes not only indignant, but astonished. ‘8o yourefuee to obey the President’s order 7 “Ido." ‘‘Andyouars a greater man than A, Lincoln; and when he seys let me have 2100 of bis own money, you ssy I shan't have jtp" “Well, Madam, if the President wants to give you 100 out of his own galary, he has & perfect right fodoit. But you canBave nomoney ogt of theSecret Service Fund for-such a Tom Fool's arrand &8 you ate starting on.” “Give memy pafers, sir, if you Elenae,’. said the excited lady, and off shestarted fo find the President. Mr. Lincoln groaned as she crossed the threshhold. “Well, what now?” #)Mr. Beward won't_give the monoy;” andshe told her erg‘ “Well, Madam,” said the President, **I can do no mors for you. T toldyou I had verylittle influence with this Administration.” i ALEXANDRE DUMAS, FILS, About five-and-thirty years ago, there began to be seen, in the housé of that great spend- tlrift of money and genius, called Alexandre Dumas, & boy who now_describes himself as having been vivacious and playful; but whom his contemporaries state to have been a reserved 1ad,—proud, and precocionsly sharp at rstorting whenever his vanity was hurt, He was 10 years OI‘k and came home from his school on Sundays and holidays to be sheken hands with by his father, and then left to fill up his time as he fileauad, oraghe could. The house was full of torary’ foudios, Dohemians, snd impecuniona artists, These formod the grest Dumas' court, burned incense under his face, ate his dinners, borrowed his _money, and forgot to repay it; and passed ‘boy about from hand to hand as an artistic curi- osity that was to be admired, or as pet-dog that was to be spoiled. No youth, as the author of ¢ Ln Damo sus Camelias ” hag since acknowl- edged, could bave been worse brought up. At gchool, the colossal popularity of his father—for it was colossal at that period—threwits reflex on him, and made him ag distinctive an object for curiosity and importunate questions, as if he bed slways been dressed in carlet. At home, the very unedifying scenes he witnessed, the easy morality of the ladies into whose company e was thrown, and the base cringing of the ‘maele crew who lived on his father’s prodigali~ ties, eatly tinged his thoughts with a streak of that bitterness which time never quite removes. In this fashion thelad grew up until hewas 18 ; ab which age his father placod & roll of banke notes in Lis hands, and spoke in this paternal wise: ‘“When & man inherits the name of Alex- andre Domas, he should lead the life of a prince, dine at the Cafe Anglais, and be generous with Iris money. Go andamuge yourself. When you have spent that, yon shall have more, If you comtract debts, § will pay them.” Nothing could be plainer, or morg conducive_to morality. Young Dumas threw himeelf headlong into the torrent of Parisian life, ran obediently into debt, drew, without stint or scruple, on bis well- pleaded father, and was nover lectured by the father, save on the. meanness of parsimon; But this healthy sort of existence must necess: rily experience checks whon father and son both Iead it together. ~The elder Dumas practised all he preached; and by degrecs the cash-howls on his desk (his money was never locked up in drawers, but loy in bowls, open to all comers) Degan to bo more and more often ompty, Oue day when his son came to levy supplics from them ho found they wero in possession of the ‘bailiffs, along with thorest of the house’s furni- ture; and though his father cried to him with one of his hearty laughs thet this was nothing, and that money was as fast earned as spent, yet this little epiode ot youug Dumas thinking that, if he ahoald suddenly become an orplian, Lis should find himself faco to face with his own dobts end his fether’s, possesscd of no_nssets and no profession; and, besides all this, having & sister to support. It mey be that some less material thonghts mingled _with _these, and told him that the life he had been spending was ot a yory noblo one, and, that & man has other missions to fulfil than those of rolling about boulevards in & phaeton, and signing Lis namo to1 O U’s. Anyhow, tho reso- lution he took in the course of one dey, and un-~ flinchingly adhered to during several years, ro- vealed in him & firmness of character and an honesty of purpose which could not hayve come from parental example, and must have been in- nate. He severed himself completely from his former mode of living, bis friends, and associa~ tions. Ho discarded his phacton and grooms, sub-let his fine lodgings, sold off his furniture, dressed plainly, and, having convoked his cred~ itors, told them with frankness that he wasun- able to pay them then, but thet if they would give bim fimo ho would work till he had dis- charged his obligations to the last farthing. One would have been glad to record that the creditors met this nssurance in a_belicving spirit; but the fact is they tried to lodge him in C‘iichy‘ He eluded them, however, took refuge at Fontainbleau in a 81 inn-room; for which o paid thirty sous a day, and thero, during two ears, worked like & man. Ho had already writ- en o novel, an absurd book, called “‘ Les Aven- fures de Quatre Fémme, et d’'un Perroguet.” Ho now changed his style, and, percolving that be had not imagination enough to compose sen- sationsl novels, like his father, set himself to the minute, snalytical portrayal of such social mannors 88 ho had observed, As his lot had been cast in the very loosest of social spheres, ‘“La Dame aux Camelias " was the first result of his obsorvations. This novel was o fair success. Then he wrote tho dramatizod version of the tale, and submit- ted it to hia father, who, not suspecting him of having much brains, was startled at the dram- atic power of the work, and with tears of pride; 18 he himsel often repeated, accepted it for the Theatre Historique. = This theatre, however, liko fnany othier undertakings of the groat man's was at this time on the eye of bankruptcy, an young Dumas was soon obliged to get off with his pieco on & round of managorial visits, which lasted two years.. Oddly enongh it was in most cases his name which damaged him. Alexander Dumas, the elder, having been the moat success- ful suthor of twenty preceding years, had natur- ally accumulated a very satisfactory collection of rivals, and it was feared that some of these ‘wonld be only too delighted to hit & blow at the father by organizing s cabsl against the son. Other managers took alarm at the immorality of the drams, and this immonm{)a!su disquieted the authorities ; for when LaDame aux Came- Hias” was eventually accopted by tho Vaudevills, its performance was prohibited by the home miniater, M. Leon Faucher. Is it to this that ‘we must attribute M. Dumas’ distaste for Re- publican institutions ? Certain it ia that, the following year, when the em%ue hiad been ostab~ lished, M. de Morny actively bestirred himself to et tho piece licensod, and of course sncceeded. %e had a nice little theory of hisown, this M. de Morny, on the morality of stage pieces, Every piece ¥as accoptablo, according to hisnotions, s long 28 it excited the public to talk on other top- ics than politics ; thus * La Dame anx Camelias” would be moral and “‘Ruy Blas” not g0. The moral piece was therefore performed in 1852, and took the actors who played it, the manager, the audi- ence, and soon the wholo town, by storm. It wes the most startling success on record. - BI. Dnmas’ astonished creditors emerged from their 1airs, pounced upon him, and had him arrested eight times within a fortnight. But tho mana- or was there to pay ; for the young suthor Lad ecome in one evening almost 28 famous & man a8 his father in thirty years. There is not a’ Parisian but knows the ¢ Dumas Fils,” who then took bis place among the halt-dozen princes of French atic art. A tall, sfrongly-built man, with & bald forehead, woolly bair, musteches with wax on them, sud keen, gray . eyes; he was not unlike his father in fice, but seem- ed to have mno single mental character- istic in common with him. Cold and rather haughty in his manuer, he wiclded & species of ‘wit which fell upon his victims like the thwacks of a well-made riding whip. When he paid hia father one of those occasional visits which filial duty commanded, the greater Dumas’ sycophantic familiers ail shronk away, nob liking to risk a ‘weal from that terrible tongue; and even Dumas pere himself folt uncomfortabloin thepresence of this son who hnd grown up to be o unlike him, and whose domesticated, ordarl{" ways now began to strike him constantly in the light of s re- proach. It was often gaid that father and sonhad quarrelled; but this was never true. Tho elder Dumas hed too warm o heart, and the younger was too good & son, for a collision to be posai- blé. Only they saw but little of each other, bo- caugo, when one man in a femily hes banncd dobt 88 3 pestilence, while the other persists in looking upon it 8s the natural stato of man; when one &ickfl bis society, and the other admits all men to his fellowship ; when one is all genti- ment, and the other all senso, intercourss is npt 10 be unprofitable. 8o young Dumas kept fo his set of friends,—s brilliant, ertistic set, in whose company all tho superficial jce in Lis na- Tre thawed; and ho worked. Thie point ‘must ‘be dwelt on,—that the highest of his productions is, and always has been, the result of thomght snd Jabor. Ho does not, ashis father did, it down of & morning with six or_thirty blank Dages, quatto size, bofore him, and maloit Lis luty to cover them with writing of some sort be- fora going out. Having gob an idea—or a para- dox, for {0 hig essentially French mind, it s all one—into his head, he turns tho game over pa~ tiently by himself, discusses it with bis pationts, perhups smong his {riends ; and, after twelve months, sometimes two years, of this mental in- cubating, produces Diane do Lys,” “ Lo Demi Monde,” “*Le Fils Naturel,” or “La Question d' Argent.” Whilo the Empire flourished, it was tho younger Dumas’ great good furtune to be 1ree from any fear leat his pieces should not at~ tract attention enough. Politics being husbed, the starting of any emotional socizl problem was like the firing of & shell amid perfect still- ness; and as each new pieco of BScribe's guccessor at the Gymnase was brought out, the suthor bad the inexpressible estisfaction of seeing society wrangle fiercely a8 to wheth- er he wes en earnest censor of social abuses, ora corruptor of public morals. This is always pleasant ; indeed, fortune can do nothing more for one. y But, yes: it can make of one an homme serfeuz, "as M. Alexandro Dumas aspires to bo thonght at this hour, Huving played under the empire something of the part which Alcibisde’s tailless dog is popularly supposed tohave filled at Athens, ho now seeks to bo one of the orizcles of the day; to rank, in fach, smong the ‘‘Ien of the Third Rgfui)h‘c." Sinco M. Thiers has guided France, M. Dumas has launched two new ¥ paychological” comedies, and three pamphilets, —allof which tends, asHo asserts, to the re- eneration of Franco; and tho last of which the pamplets) has been in most Parisians’ hands for the last month, and is likely to linger in Perisian women’s memories for yebt some weeks to come. But it may be doubted whether anything that M. Dumas writes in his present frame by mind can evole results deeper thana succes de curiosite, or will survive him; and this for the reason that, falling into an_error very common with professional censors, he hes got to paint his countrymen much blacker than they reallyare. - M.Dumas fancies himself still un- der the Empire. He forgets what . ba- reavement and distress = have passed through _ most _ Trench homes. Taking cases of crime and depravity that were monstrous and exceptional even at the worst of times, he holdg them up to his countrymen, and bids them see themselves asin amirror; sothatif one wero to collect AL Dumas’ verdicts on his coun- trymen from the plays and pamphlets recently published, one would learn that the French were litically and socially, morally and intellectnal- y, the most flippant, unprincipled, debguched and ignorant people under heavon. Agains! this judgmont one may be allowed to protest. Thero aro really few countries where honesty is more common, practical morality more deep- tooted, and respect for thelaw more general, than in Franco. To ignoro this, srgues either a very cursory study of the national character, or 2 cynicism grown chronic, and incepacitating its owner from seeing things as they are. But per- haps M. Dumas is aware thet the French loye to 8ee their foibles scoffed at by one of themselves; and, possibly, the object of his numerons bits of *paychology” is merely to gratify their passion. If 8o, some friend should warn L. Dumas that a dostor who would prescribe a reckless course of astringents, even whon pressed by his patient to do it, would conduce neither to that patient's nor to his own good fame as & physician,—Zon~ don Daily News. : NEW JERSEY. Address from the Liberal Republican State Committec. - To the Liberal Republicans of New Jersey : In the grand effort to' redeem our country from the evil power of the unscrupulous Re- nomination Ring, New Jersey should bear & no- ble purt. She Eas often proved her patriot ism and valor in defence of the nation. Her fortunes were nobly cast with the patriots in the Revolu- tionary struggle. She grandly came to the rescue in the late Rebellion. Our coun- try is again imperiled, not by an _organized emm, equipped with the dstructive enginy of war, but by a desperate band of office- holders, whoge safety depends upon an exten- sion of power. Liberal Republicans of New Jersey, you, alone and unaided, cannot_prevent this; but you can do your part. Should the re- sult of the late elections cause one desertion {from the Liberal ranks? Far from it. When there is dnngor of defeat the true soldier is most watchful and active, If we conscientionsly be- lieve in the justice of our cause, revarses should lead to renewed effort. Are the principles for which we contend less desirable then they were ? On the contrary, they sre doubly precions, for wo have had freal ' evidence of the corrption and power of the Presidential patronsge. There is much in the October elections that is encouraging to the Liberals. Every day new facts prove the villainous tricks and frauds by which Pennsylvania was carried. The result in Ohio shows Jarge Liberal gains, and is practical- 1y an Administration defeat. The contest in In- diane, despite tho gigantic efforts of the office- holders, is a substantial victory for the Liberals. How does our cause stand "to-day? We do not doubt of victoryupon.s full and fair vote. Arrayed against us is ull the powers that a lavish and unseripulous use of money, with official pa~- tronage, aan wield. . For our part we haye onlyan earnest conviction that our cause is just. If W win, it must he by \mflnggini “zeal and ener- etic action. If the.Liberal Republicans. and omocrata .do_their whole duty, victory is cer- tain, . Liberal Republicans of New Jerssy, close up your ranks: Unite earnestly with the Demo- crats, and_adopt all honorable means to bring out our full vote on the day of electi worthily perform our duty at this éritical period of our nation’s history. Then, whetever may be the result, we will have the comforting assur~ ance that we deserved success. 1. H, Graay, Chairman of the Liberal Republican State Com- ‘mil co. JERSEY CrTT, Oct, 18, 1872, 3 A Game that Wouldn’t Play. A lste attompt has been made to put Pitt County, North Carolins, under martial law. It failed; but the game is interesting. - - A difficulty of a purely parsonal character oc- curred at Greenyille, between a young mannamed Smith and a Deputy United Btates: Marshal named Roach. ,Roach was not in the discharge of his officiel duties in any manner. . The two simply met 2t Greenville and an old personal matter between them was revived. Smith called Roach bad names. Roach drew his pistol and commenced shooting. _He shot four times, and the firs time he hit and Iilled ‘one of his own friends. . The second shot went throngh some- body’s pantaloons, and the third struck Stith 1n the arm. The fourth took effect in Roach's own hand, and then ho stopped shooting. He seoms to have been greatly aunoyed and pained st his want of skill as & marksman, and determined to get Some satisfaction in snother way, Now the affair was just as related. Roach's {riend was Lilled by Roach's hand, but Calvin Cox,’a leading Radical in the county, seized upon this accident to. creato an impression that the man was murdered by amob. He acoord- ingly wrote a_sensational letter to Hon. 8. T. Cerrow, United States Marshal, and, in view of the facts of the case, the following extracts from the letter are curions: “We are in 2 very belpless condition here. The mob s victorious. " Edmund Wilson ig dead. Ho died from the effects of & wound received in tlie mob. We wish for the Iaw to be executed here. We doubt whether it can be done without some aid {rom the Government. If you do not send us the Marshal and Commiesioner as re- quested, you must send us 100 men to enable ng | o do it ourselves L e : The letter then gives the naries of sixteen rioters, and states that these Wera all that could bo then obtained, but asks blanks sent for those and fifty others. The letter concludes as follows: “The civil authority hero i8 impudent (impo- tent ?) except Conservatives in their own inter~ ests. Our rights can only be protected by some Euwflr outgido of the county. From what we ave already seon, we believe the United States authorities will continue to bo resisted.” Soveral arrests were made. and an investiga- tion washad. The. aflidavits_of- Cox and other Radicals were taken before United States Com- missioner Robinson, st Goldboro', on charges of “conspiracy and impeding tho Deputy United States Marchal in the discharge of. his duty.’ Upon g hearing, the Commission dismissed -ail the warrants and discherged all tho’ prisoners, pronouncing the conduct of Cox and his asso- ciates as infamously disgraceful. Such are tho facty, and such waa the little game of *con- spiracy” in Pitt County, North Carolina. Dur- ing its Frogess it created much indignation against Cox and his political tools. A Remarkable Suit. Many peoplo who have read Dickens' novel of ¢ Bleak House,” and-tho pressure of chancery suits upon the minds of the people Who songht to right their wrongs throngh ibem, thought the pictures overdrawn, and yet “Mise Flite,” who never became discouraged after repeated defents, and never faltered until at last shie bad her caso decided on tho “Day of Judgment,” and Richard, who sanls into insanity and the grave, were hardly more pitiable victims of the friction and crosses that are incurred by litiga- tion, than is George W. Purdy, of Murlborough, N. Y., who for ten years hasbeen in the con- stant heat of legal stroggle, His suit hes been with one of hisneighbors, Robest A. Kerr, who, in 1859, leased s farm from Eiishs Purdy, Georgo's father, for s period of five years, with & covenant to convoy the property if Kerr poid $10,000 and oll arrearsges of Tent at any fime’ duringthe firet throo yours of the term. * The mext year Mr. Purdy died, leay- ing a widow and five children. Kerr purchused ihe interest of two of the children in 1861, and, .in 1662, on tho last day of the threo years, he offered to pay the other children and the widow all the bacl: rents and their sbare of the 310,000, at the eemo timo demanding a decd. He did not have the money, and they refused to convey unless compelled fo, Kerr then commenced snit, and it lins_run through sll possiblo forms and varieties, being decided and the decision ap- penled from time and again, the iast and recent conclusion -being a refueal to compel a convey- snce. The property has grown in value until it now involves as much as 260,000. Purdy's brain ias been 8o affected by the long struggle Letna that, last summer, ho attempted to kill his mother ond sisters, and was sent to tho insane asylum, from which he has just been released. Diabolical Thieves, The Journal des Debals qlnotes&latter dated Nijni-Novogorod, the 10th ult., in which an ac- count is given of a daring robbery perpetrated by thieves at that place. The correspondent 82y8: On the 3d of September, at 7 o'clock, the greak theatre, which contsins 1,000 persons, was full. The piece rapresenfed was & fa- vorite one, entitled ‘* Crime and Its Panish- ment.” | Among thoso presant wore the leading military and civil officors, the head of the po- lico; and & largo number of police officars. While the first act was being playod, and the at- tention of the spectators was fixed on the stage, 8 report was suddenly hesrd, a elight Emoke filled tho upper part of the theatre, and a cry of ‘fire " wos raiged. Everybody rushed to the doors, but ouly ono was open. Terror bocams general when his was discovered. ~ The orowd Was enormous, and persons were thrown down and trempled tipon. - The thioves who had com- bined to cause this alatm took the opportunity of seizing whatever they could Iy their hands upon, They tore earrings from the women, and stole watches and studs from the men. This- scene lasted for sbout ten minutes, until the people employed in the theatre and the police o 1t known that there was no trace of fire. When tranquility had_been ‘restored, inquiry was made respecting the articles stolen, and it wos found that the value exceeded 100,000 roubles, Several persons were killed; three dangerously wounded, and an actress received 8 very serious wound.. The thieves contrived to escape. The Arkansas Game to be Played in ey West. From the New York Tribune.
