It Esquimous Joo's story may bo bellovod, thero is littlo doubt that poison; and not paraly- sls, wns tho causo of Capt. Hall's death. Oapt. Hall, ho says, roturned from his last, sled woll and happy, but was takon sick aftor drinking somo coffeo. Ho vomited, his throat ewolled, ho could not drink, and hoe was tortured by burning pains. Joo says that Capt. Iall told hifn that thoro was *“gomothing bad in his coffoo.” ‘His sickness lastod two wooks. During part of this timo hoe studied his modical booka to dis- cavor tho mosaning of his symptoms, and camo to tho conclusion: that he hnd- beon poi- soned. Joo's sccount Is corroborated by ono of tho Icolanders accompanying tho expodi- tlon, Who adminiatered the poison ho doea not stato ; but it is evident that hia suspiciona point to Buddington, tho Sailing-Master, who refused, through cowardice or some other motive, to.al- Tow the oxpedition to procood any farthor north, and compolled Oapt. Hall to retraco his stope. The Chicago produce markets were modorately aotive yostorday, but generally lower. 1Meas pork doclined 400 per brl, with fair sales, cloa- ing ot $16.50@16.55 cash, and $15.95@10.00 sollor July.

Itis protty genorally known that, on Sunday last, o roporter of tho Sunday Times was ordorod out of & respoctablo church on the ground that his connoction with that jonrnal was prima facie ovidorico of his unfitnoss to assoctate with decont poople. The Sunday Times being anxious to advertiso its Infamy; the ejocted roportor sent & spocial dispatch to the Now York Sun, tho Louts- villo Courier-Journal, and two or threo othor nowspapors, - dotailing tho incidonts of his ejoction, and sdding: “The affair croates much oxcltoment, and tho olorgyman's lack of 'dignity is Bovercly commented upon.” Thore is no objoction to a nowspaper advortia- ing ite own degradation aftor it has boon led out of church by the ear, if it-chooses to do 803 but we protest against the offort to croato a falso impression abroad concerning the public sontiment in Chicago sbout the matter. There have not only beon no comments on ¢ the cler- gyman's Inck of dignity,” but no exprossion, public 6r private, whick did’ not commond the action as a propor rosentmont of this nowspa~ por's villainous onslaught upon churchos dnd church-members, It is presumed that the mor- ited robuke administored by Mr. Sullivan to tho Times will hevo the effect to stop its indoconcics in tho future. | The tnanimous vote by which the Presby- torian Assombly adopted the rocommendation that two committees bo appointed to confor with the Old Bchool Bynod of Missouri and the Bouthern Genoral Assombly, for tho pur- poso of rounfon with thoso branches of the Churoh, probably marks the beginning of tho ond of the political schism which has divided the Prosbyterfan Church of America sinco 1861. The Prosbyterian Church North and South dividod in that yoar, on account of tho action of tho Gonoral Asgembly at Pittsburgh, which declared that the allogianco of cltizons was duo tho United Btatos, thoreby donying tho doctrine of Btate ,alleginnce and Btato rights. The Missourl Synod has not booen associnted with either branch eince 1806. Its soparation was the result of the adoption of a resolution by tho General Assemby, in 1805, that overy church sossion and every Presby- tory in comnection with tho Prosbyterlun Ohurch North should oxamine every porson who camo from & Bonthern State asking for admisslon into any of their cliurchios or Prosbytories touch-, ing his rolations to the Fedoral Governmont and touchlng his views on the slavery question ; and insisting upon a * confesaion of sin"if the applicant hiad beon guilty of disloyalty. Mr, ‘Tom Taylor, n popular dramatist and tho thentrical oritic of the London Times, bas a pro- Joct on foot to ro-eatablish the logitimato dramn by popular aubsoriptions. Tu Parls, tho Theatro Jirancals 18 always kept free from tho sonsn- tionial tendonoios of the modarn dramas, and & nsorles of classieal plays are presontod oyery sonson in a becoming mannor. The samo ia true of the Koenigliche Schauspicthaus in Berlin § and in most of tha Jontinental cltles one theatro is maintained by Government subsidy for the production of the higher order of plays, This 18 not the case in England or Americs, and the regult s, that the provalling popular taste gives direction to tho staple of sll tho theatros. Mr, Booth's theatre, in New York, has escapod the Infection of dramatio soneationalism more than any othor In the country, but It has beon rather on acoount of ‘Mr; Booth's acting thero o much than for any other rengon, Mr. Taylor's proposition is to oatablish a thentro at tho Orys- tal Palnoo, Bydenham, and sustain it by subsorip- ton, for tho proper produotion of thaShakapenra- an playa. Tho sunccoss of the projeot is doubtful, Thoro Ia & groat difforonco botween gotting the poople'a money through Governmont subsldies and taking it out of thelr poolots dircotlys BENATOR OARPENTER AT NEW ORLEANS, Benntor Carpontor, In lia speech at Now Or- loans, made & more vigorous dofonme of himre- port on Louislana affalrs than might have boon oxpocted from one who had alroady onco turned his back on his own oftspring. But thoro was 10 now point mado in ‘hl spoooh, unlosa It be now (a8 porhaps it will be to tho logal profoss slon), that tho Prosidont las nothing to do, In tho absonoo of Oongroasional -motion, but to oxooute tho deoroes of Judge Durcll's Court. Tho inforonce from this is, that if Judgo Oaritor, in tho District of Columbis, should order tho Unlted Btates Marshal fo solze aud nold the National Oapitol, and this officer should find himself opposod in tho attomptto do so, tho Prosidont could do nothing but furnish troops to oxocuto tho order, Thero {s no limit to this spocios of . absurdity, oxcopt tho possiblo limits of raseality in the Unlted Btatos Court. Tho Constitution says that the Unitod Btates Government shall not in« torforo to suppross local disturbances in any Btato, oxcopt upon application of tho Governor or Logislaturo theroof,” Mr. Carpooter, in his Sonato roport, showod in indignant lsngungo that Judgo Durell had ko intorforod, and in this showing all- the mombors of tho Committee conourrod with ' him, inclndlug AMortoi, Putting tho roport and tho spooch togother, it appeara that, in Senator Carpontor's opinion, tho Unitod Btates Governmont cannot interfore in tho local affelrs of o Btato oxcopt upon tho application of the Governor or Loglslature thoroof, pnless o District Judgo shall take tho initiative. Then it may interforo to any extent! Sonator Onrponter announced in l;ln spooch that ho was o Stato Rights man bofore tho War, and was o Stato Rights man still. This is per- ‘haps truo, but is of no practical Importanco un- loss Mr. Carponter has pluck onough to follow hia principlos logically, and fight for thom man- tally. THE SUNDAY-BEER QUESTION. " The following communication hns been recely- od in roply to an artlolo printed in & rocont issuo of Tne TRIBUNE : o the Fditor of The Chicago Tribuns: Bm: In your editorlal of yesterday, headod * Tho Sundsy-Beor Quostion,” you sy that i tssue 15 upon the repesl of laws which practically deprive . th Germsn ciiizon of tho privilego of apending Sundsy according tohis preforences. An & tomperanco man, and member of the Comruiiteo of Seventy, I wish 1o aay, through your colums, that wo sccopt thnt fsauo, and inafst that neither Gorman noF any other eitizon shall be permiifed to spond Bunday according to thefr preferences, if thoso profer- ences involvo great publio danger, aa the koeplug open of beer-saloons on Sunday surely docs, Would a party of sportsmen bo pormitted frecly to ‘practico shooling in our atreots on Bunday, merely be- causo not more than one man was killed cach Sabbath, whilo tho groat majority of our paoplo cacapod, having prudently abetainod from loaving their homes during theday? If such practicos would not boallowed,: ‘morely because it might bo s “ nationsl oustom " of tho sportamen, nelther should a party of beor-scllers be ‘pormitted to ply their national custom, bocsuse it hap- pons that only a small minority of tho pooplo theroby aro carriod homo with broken heads, We_clalm tho right of cit'zona to walk our streots, fro0 not onlyfrom cortain death, but freo ulso from unnecossary danger, which right {u dondod us If beer-saloons, or any other saloons, aro pormitted froely to dispenso any alcobol, whether beor or brandy, that can intoxicate. It 4 tho sobor citizen, not tho drinking eltizon, whons libortios aro threatenod, Yours truly, Ossua, OutoAao, May 19, 1873, It the new Gorman movement shall meet with no stronger arguments againat it than this writor prosents, it will not encounter insuperable ob- staclos. If tho enforcoment of tho ordinance against keoping hoor-saloons open on Sunday is sustuned meroly a8 o necossary polico rogula- tion, then why should they not bo closed on Monday, and Tuesday, and every other day in tho wook ? The illustration of the sportsmen shooting In tho strots, which Ossian” makos, i8 o good cage in point. Ho is right in main- taining that a goneral targot-practico would not bo tolorated in tho strects of & Sunday, even if only one man was killed each Sunday. But hio sooms to ignoro tho fact that this eort of pro- misenous shooting would not be tolerated on ‘Wednosday or Thuradsy any more than on Sun- doy. If, thon, tho saloous-are to bo closod on SBunday for the samo roagson that shooting s prohibited in tho public streets, as a protoction of human life, itis equally necossary that thoy shall bo closed overy day and all the timo, unless it can bo shown that there is groater linbility to mischiof on Bunday than on othor days. This may bo the faot as rogards ardont spirits,—thero being a greator number of idle pooplo on Sunday than on other days,—but it is not true as rogards ' boor, which is & narcotio and not a stimulant, If tho Bundsy law is nobto bo rogarded ns a polico regulaticn, thon it must bo rogardod a8 n Babbatarian, or religious, moasuro. It is for ths supporters of the Bunday Inw to detormino whether thoy can hopo to sustain themselyes on this ‘mauu. Thoy are met at the outset with tho fact thiat thoro can bo noinfringoment of por- sonal frosdom, on religious grounds, in Amorica, Teduced to o roligions’ controvoray, tho quos-, tion is, whothor those who live in thia country and favor tho English obaervanco of Sunday may forco thoir customs upon thoso who favor the Continontal obgorvance of Sunday. Itis protty safo to saythat, upon a moro issue of Sunday ob- servanco a8 & roligious obligation, no party could carry the city in favor of any particular’ custom, though tho Gormans would quite willingly ngroo to tho closing of saloous during the hours of the foronoon ususlly dovoted to religious oxor- cises,—this being tho custom in thoir natlve: countrios. " Itis o mistake to place boer upon tho pame lovel with whisky aud brandy, and hold it re- sponelblato an equal extont, or, wo think, to any oxtent, for orime nnd depravity, Thoro is no doubt that drunkenness plays an important part i tho tragodios of lifa; but, It we avo to ostimnto its prociso influenco npon orimo, ft ia noceasary to ascortaln somewhat moro dofinitely than tho temporance men ordinarily do tho agonts of drunkenness, Thore aro large num- bers of peoplo seriously opposed to the vice of drunkennoss who havo como, by comparison of Qroat Britain and Amorica on the ono side, whore strong drinks are the rule, with tho Continental countries on tho other slde, whero beer and native wines prodominato, to believe that boer I8 rathor an agent of tempor- anco than of intompersnco. No man who swooplugly inoludes beer and wine in tho same oategory with wplrituous liquors, and desiros overy man to ba prosoouted who #olls, manufac- tures, givos away, or drinkuit, ia propared to oxamino the Sunday law on its morlts, And wo aro of tho opinfon that this class of bolioyers will not have the final sottlomont of tho quos- tlon, Thero are fow housckoepors who will not loarn with genuino eatlsfaction that n praottoal move- ment haa boen {naugurated in Now York which promisos to work'important roforme in tho fleld of doinestlo sorvics, It'ls not the outgrowth of sny of the publlo meotings which have boon called from timo to timo throughout tho coun- try to mook for a romody of sorvantgallsm. Tho projoot hag boon quietly and unoutontatiously undertakon by the Girl's Home in New York. Thie ia an institution kept up for the acoommo- aation of sorvant-girls out of places, and to afford a chosp and comfortable home for all honost girla who require one.. The Prinol- pal of this Insitution has formed & olass of instructlon in domestlo work, in which & smill number of glsls are taken who dot slro the boneflts of such tralning. As yob, the dlass s limited to seven, who must elther be voluntsera or ontered at the request of tholr parents, - The ourrloulum in this schoolof do- mestlo labor Is very complots and systomatio, and foven montha aro roquired to finish’ the courge. One yoar la regarded aa litlo onough for the neoded inatruction but it la difficult to rotain tho glrls any longor on ncoount of the ad- vancod prices that aro offered for tholr skilled labor. Tho girls are taught in turn to make bods thoroughly; to swoep and dust in 4ho neatost fashion; to wait on. table snd - attend visitors in & quiet, rospeotfal mannar; to ocook in & - plain and ornamontal siylo; nod to mako brond snd postry. An offiolont cook is rotained in tho kitchon ns instruotor, and oach girl sorves an appronticoship Inthis doportment, It is sald that thoy scon ldarn-how to make a good soup, broil a chop, sonson a'atow, and dross poultry, and that par- ticular attontion is givon to coffoo and pastry. Not long ngo, Joan Ingelow, the English suthoreas, wroto a lottor to the Woman's Jour- nal, ncknowledgiug tho focelpt of ‘that papor, and taking occasion to point out the peculiar doflcionoy in the education of Amarican girls. 8ho. then snid- that o long s household work is thought dograding, the education of girls cannot bo .comploto. Bho ‘eaid that girls mnst losrn “how to mako . mtarch- ing. and ironing graceful accomplishmonts, and how to go into the kitchon without domoan- ing thomsolvos. Tho domostic-tralning school establichod at tho 'Girl's Homo, in Now York, will contribute to this ond. Inits prosont con- dition, tho boginnings aro emali, but, when it comos to bo discovored, as it will be, that skilled houschold Inbor and kitchon sccomplishments command better prices “and more congenial places than sewing-girls or shop-girls can attain, thero will bo & more goneral dosire to partake of the advantages which such a school of instruc- tion'can offor, 'Tho facilitics of this-achool will bo onlarged, and othor schools will bo estab- lishod olsewhoro in imitation of the samo plan. 8Kkill in the cullnary art, and o fange'of prices to correspond, to it, would spoodily contribute to tho removal of many of tho vexatious complica~ tions of the sorvant-girl problem as it now ' stands. s THE INSANE IN ILLINOIS. ‘The Now York World calls attontion to what it intimates may turn out to be ovidence of & “Ring " in tho publio charitlos” of tho Stato of Tlinows., Tho Buporintondont of the Census,” Gen."Walkor, in his introduction to the tablos of tho roturns of tho insane, idiotic, aad othor uns fortunato olaseos, olaims for them a complote- noss and acournoy which, perhaps, do not por- tain to othor portions of tho work, After refer- ring to somo criticisms in the caso of the returna for Massnchusotts, o calls attontion o what ho- torms tho wholly “ inexplicable” case of Tllinofs. - Ho statos that holns boon furnished by tho, Bocrotary of . tho Btate Board of Oharie- tios of Tlinois with Usts of tho in- sano ond idiotio of this Stato in . 1870. Hobad compared thia list of insano with that returncd by the Consus Marshals, and an uttor want of correspondonco oxists. Tho list of in- sano furnishod by tho Board of Charitios cone tained 2,870 names, of which Mr. Walkor says 88 might bo deducted because of duplication, donth, recovery of reason, and leaving. the State. 8ix others aroc marked idiotio, 82 probably recov- ored, and 24 woro of doubtful insabity. De- ducting all theso tho Board liat called for2,250 in- 8ano persons, whoso namos and residences woro given, The Uonsus Marshals had returnod only: 1,621 names, leaving 529 to bo accounted for. But o comparison of tho namos on the ‘two rolls showed that only 721 names wero found on both lists; tho Btate list. contnined 1,658 names of insano porsons not on tho conaus list, while tho consus list containg the nams of. 900 no on the Stato list. Hud tho names on the censud list agreod with tho Btate 8o far 88 their uumber’ extonded, it would have admitted tho oxplanation that the consus-takers bad not fouud the missing porsons, but they d found 900 insanc persons who wore not down on' the'Stato liet, and only 731 that wero named on that list. Upon this Mr. Walker says: In tho view of such monstrous discropanciea, it would bo reasonablo to assumo. thiat, {nasmuch a8 tho roturns of tho census are mado by sworn officiala visit- ing cach house aud family by turn, while tho list of tho Stato Board of Gharitics would appear to havo beon mado up by no class of ofiicals, and oven by uo dis- tinct class of persons, the Board must have becn jme poaod upon, eithor through nogligonco or design on tho part of its correspondenta, This prosunption, ko snys, was confirmed by furthor investigations, Ho sclected 390 namos of porsons recorded on tho Biate lst as insano, - belonging to 123 towns having a populdtion of holf & million, and thoso llsts ho sont to the consns-takors with instructions to ascortain thoir oxistoneo or not.

Tho Bpecial Committes appointed by the New York Legislature to inveatigate tho affaira of the Erio Railroad has comploted its labors and sub- mitted a roport, which forms a vory intoresting chdptor . tho hiatory of raiirond manogoment in this country. The logal mattors having boon roferred to.tho Attornoy-General, the Committeo confined Its attontion to the three following toplea: % i Frst—Whether the dividend doclared upon tho atock of tho Company outstanding sgaust it in February, 1879, was pald ont of tho net carnfugs of {ho road, Second—As to Improper expenditure of money by forelgu stockholdors or offloars of the Company to of- fect tho transfer of the munagpment of. tho Company in March, 1872, and us to tho fack of u corrupt contract in tho negotiation of its bonds. Third—As to tho_poymont of monoy to nfluonce legislation, With regard to the firet point, the Committen i not ot all oloar. Tho dividond'was made upon tho statoment of tho Auditor of tho road, that thore was a balunco sufficiont to warrant it, and BIx. Watson, tho President of tho road, claims that tho dividonds paid tho stockholders were duo out of the net carninge for 1872. The tostimony of tho Comptrollor of tho Ponneylyania Contral Tailrond is also roforrod to a8 showing that tho moihod of making up tho Erio atatemont, upon which dividends aro doclarad, is" idontieal ‘with that of thé formor Company. The Committeo thereupon docides that if it s proper and in ac- cordance with the viow of Mr, Watton tocarryto, onpital account ‘all edditions to tho road not carnod nnd properly declared. - At tho same timo, while recommonding the passage of a gen- oral law applicable to all ratlroads, which shall determino thoir right to greatly incronse capital in this manner, the Committeo oxprosses tho utmost confidence in tho'ability and integrity of toring the affairs of tho rond for tho ‘folo pur- poso of ro-satablishing ite crodit and economiz- ing its rovenuos. With regard to tho oxpenditure of money by the foreign stockholders, which effectod the, coup detat in Maroh; 1873, removed the Jay Gouwld menngoment, and put the raflroad in tho control of McHoury, tho Com- mitteo finds that tho resignations of n sufficiont number of Dircctors to change thoe management wero purchased for 760,000 ., Upon the moralo of this movoment, tho Committeo says: ¢ Asido from the motives which inspired the. polioy and tho actions which resulted in tho overthrow of tho Gould Direction, the mannor and tho moans- cannot but bo rogardod with the severost disap- probation,” and, in anothor placo, adds: #The Gould Diroctory was kept in power by a Invish ond corrupt use of monecy. Those working in the name of honosty and roform should have shunned the means hich wore donounced ag fraudulont in othiers'use. Tho parallel which the Committee institutos ia not o fair one. Tho property of’tho Erie Rallroad was in tho hands of a gaug of thioves. - The honest atockholdors Lind sought in overy mannor to got thelr proporty. Thoy sought it through tho' usual busincss mothods, and through the Lopis~ laturo, but thoso oll failod, They then applied to the Courts, only to fail again, bocause somo of tho Judgoa woro in tho pay of tho thicves, and Barnard was always ready with an injunction to offset any advantago thoy might sccure. They woro thon roduced to this alternntive, - eithior to surrender the property to tho thioves or buy it back from them. ‘There wasno other way to gob it, and, rathor than glve it up alto- gothor, they bought {t baols, as is done in com- ‘morclnl circlos vory often, and thereby not only sooured thoir property but wrosted the wholo road from the gang of thioves, and placed it in tho lnnds of an honost mauagomont, Any othor action would linve boon .consurablo, as it would havo loft tho thioves in completo and un- disturbod possossion, and would have given thom still greator advantages for carrying on tholr systom of plunder. As to tho paymont of monoy to influence log- lslation, the Committeo oxprossoa itaelt 88 woll eatiafiod that such was the case, ulthough it is unablo to specify those who woro bought, ow- ing to tho absence of cortain wilnesacs who have purposely kopt out of ihe way., Tho smount spent for this purpose in 1868 alone was over a milllon of dollars, Mr, Gould'y memosy Was ¢onyoniontly defootive, but tho oxtent to which corfuption was used may be Judgod from Mr, Gould's aesortion that it would bo aa impossiblo to speclfy tho numerous instan- con s 16 wonld bo to recall to mind the' number of frolght-cars sont ovor tho Erlo Rosd from day, todsy, Whilo 16 Individuals aro implicated by namo in recolving monoy for -thoir votes, the Committeo complotely oxonoratos At- torney-Gonoral Barlow and Honry Smith, formor Sponker of tho Assombly, nnd: Bovoroly coneiiros Bhosrman, tho partnor of, David Dudley Flold, for attompting to blacken their roputation by tostimony whichi was puro fabrication.

The partioular cliarge upon which sho hos beon arrostod Is that of attempting to polson threo mombors of a family namod Hanna, who woro visiting hor, by placing arscnlo in tho coffoo which o mado for thom. Fortunately, tho amount of polson was not sufclont to causo tholr death, but sinco her arrost it has boon dis- covored that sho haa poisoned hor husband, hor _Bon'a wife, hor son-in-law's child, and hor hus- band's first wito, during tho past fow years, Barn-burning and tho poisoning of animals are alad oharged to hor ncoount.

Tho chert of tho North Atlantio shows that tho numorous ocenn stoamers are running in o parallol line, and 80 closo togothor that dangor of colliding is constantly imminent. The only advantago that can be olaimed for this syatem of parallel routos is tho apparont likelihood that any dissblod vossol will find nssistanco from & stoamor ofsome otherline, Itisbolioved,kowsver, that a lone routo, bosides avolding thié dangor of collision, would likewiso bo apt to sttract gpoedior ntfontlon in casa of dolsy or necldent. 1t iu intimnted thot thenow route of tho Uunard atosmors will bo selected in tho lowor parallels of latitude. Tho advantage of such a eolection would be tho nvoiding of pothice and fogs ton greator oxtent than now. It is' nlso held that nothing will bo lost In the way of spoed, for tho reagon that tho winds of the southorn Iatitude can boutilized in such &' way as to accolerato the voyage and save coal. A i Ono of {ho popular dolusions dostroyed by the consus roturns is, that tho froquonoy of solf-' murder has incronsed very much of late yoars. Tho consus for 1870 shows tho ' proportion of suicidos to havo beon 8.5 in 100,000 ‘persons ; tho proportion of 1860 was 8.2, sud of 1850 2.1, in the ssme number of . porsons. This shows that, whilo tho numbor of suleldes has sotually Increased during tho past ten years, the ratio of increase was much loss than it wos durng tho ‘preceding decade. It is found, too, that thoro aro mora suicides in tho months of April and May than at any.othor sosson. At first thonght, this would look as though bad woather hnd not the doprossing influonco which it is sup- Pposad to havo, bt if tho April and May weather of this year in Ohicago may bo taken as an aver- ge, it is not surprising that thero aro more oases of suicide in theso two months then at any othior timo of tho yoar.
