TUOSE LOST BONDS. Special ch to-The Tritume. NEW York, July 7.—The World’s Washing- ton special says Secretary Schurz has ordered an investization "to be made by one of the Govern- ‘ment Dircctors of the Union Pacific Railroad concerning the celebrated *¢lost ™ bonds. These Donds were not really lost. The facts were that 254 tirst-wortzage Londs of the railroad and 110 United Stales currency sixes were myster- iously issued by the trustecs under the Ames coutract, and the railroad company received no cquivalent for this sum of 364,000, on which the interest bas been continued to be paid. When th matter was first jnvestizated, it was alleged cthat the bonds were lost in the spring of 1563, when the Company was obliged 10 move its oflice from New York to Boston to escapc the interference of Mr. James Fisk, Jr., aud other persons. At this time some of the Dbooks and papers of the Compauy were out_of the possession of _its legitimate officers. The Directors of the Company ordered an iuvestiza- tion to be made some years uwo, amd it is slleged by the expert who made it that he traced some of the bonds into the Lands of B. ¥F. Ham and Siducy Dillon, and that he was revented from completing the investigation. ne of the Government Directors, J. F. Wil- son, had some part iv that_investization, but it * ig charged that he did not try to get at the bot- tom facts. Sccretary Schurzhas therefore com- mitted the new fuvestigution to another Gov- . ernment Director, Joha S. C. Harrison, of Indi- sna, who will undonbtedly probe the matter to the bottom.

I MowTmEAL, Quebee, July 7.—The Orange- <-men have beer unable rs0 far to obtain - a church to hold divine service in on the 19th of July. The trustees of the Zion Church hive refused to grant the usc of their church for that day. The question is asked, Why should other churches than the one their Chap- 1ain belongs to be expected to provide a place of worship to preach in on the 12th of July? If the Orangemen can get a suitable personto TJicad them, they say they will walk in proces- « sion, whether they get the use of a church or yot, but they are not satisficd with the men that are putting themselves forward as their representatives. The Dircctors of the Ottawa River Navie tion Company held a meeting to-day to invest gate the difficulty that occarred on boanl their steamer between the Papal Zouaves and the Captain. They find that the zouaves were ~wrong in applying to the pilot instead of the Captain for permission to hofst their flag, and that the pilot had no right to disturb the steam- er's flags without permission of the Captain, but that tae Captain, before hauling down the Papal flag, should have remonstrated with the zouaves. They decided further that no party flag will in future be allowed to be hoisted on their steamers, and retain the Captain in their service. Special Dispateh to The Tridune. MONTREAL, July 7.—The Hon.

We shall have first to convince the Tnited States Commissioner, and he may possibly be a little deafl to the arruments which secm clear cnough to others.

It concernsour Yionor to givea better example of the way in which ‘an international lawsuit should he conducted on the part of the plaintiff.

Tle oceasion was a mecting of the Charaber for the instruction of its delegates to the National Board of Trade regarding the subject. - A resolu- tion had been introduced instructing the delegates and recommending to the Na- tional Board to * recommend to Congress such modification of the Resumption act as shal postpoue the time of its enforcement.” The resolution having been offered, Mr. Smith, wko seldom takes any special part in the discussions on "Change or any of its actions, but who has evinced special interest in this subject, took the stand and spoke for some time earnestly upon the subicct, warmly favoring the resolution. Tie was carcfully listened to throughout and warmly applauded, and at the close of bis ad- dress the resolution was adopted by an over- whelming vote. Mr. Smith’s remarks were as follows: . MR. SMITII'S REMARKS. I arise not to defend the resolutions particn- larly, because I don't think they require it, but to place myself right on the record. T wish to sav that I amnot an Inflationist. I believe the stability of this country, the futerestsof the commerce and the industrial interests of this country, require the resumption of specie pay- mentsat as early o time as is practicable. T believe we shall have no stability until the time comes when the United States shall be entirely divorced from the issuauce of paper money; when it shull be LEPT TO PRIVATE CAPATALISTS to supply the country with a currency. Solong as the Government of the United States shall undertake to supply a paner eurrency, so long will business of this country be disturbed by inflationists on the_ one side and contrac- tionists on the other. So long as the Govern- ment assumes the right to issue paper-money romises to pay, Which are not convertible into coin, so lonz’ will this be a political ques- tion, and we_shall have in evers campaigm in this State and every other State this question of MOKE MONEY OR LESS MONET, and,so far as the people are cunwmc-f—the un- thinking, unreasoning people—it will be more ‘money, never less. It will be inflation all the time.. Now you have $750,000,000 of paper mon- ey todar, and the question is how to get it off lfiis high ladder. The Government passed a resumption act to take eflect in January, 1879, ‘We have $150,000,000 of gold, and §730,000,000 in paper. We have the 4 per cent loan, WHICH 18 VERY SUCCESSPUL, apd T am giad of it. But that docs not furnish gold with which to resume, and if Congress should adopt the proposition to remonctize sil- ver we would have bat $50,000.000 of silver dol- lars, for we have the statcment that that is all \that the mints can_coin in & year. Then we would bave but $200,000.50 ‘of specie with which to redcem Si0,00,000 of paper. But it is.said if the pcople find they can get - specie they wom't want it don’t know how that may be now, but I know that when we were_on a specie basis and our State banks claimed to have 33 per cent of thelr aper in specie in their vaults, ghere was often rrollble. They could not redeem 100 cents with thirty-three cents, and the United States would not be any more able to do so. It is proposed that the Government shall pay specic currency on the 1t of January, 1579, and it is perfectly notorious that the Government has nothing to resume with EXCEPT ITS CREDIT. It has no money, and I say. as I safd day be- fore yesterday, that the proposition is a menace. Juis seare. and you all kmow. merchants and bankers, how the country is influenced. It is afraid, and you are afraid to invest your money in anything. There is a great deal of talk about the cheapness of money. Why is money cheap? Whenever you see money piling up in Third strect and Wall strect, and in all the commer- cial centres of this country, and loaninz at 13§ and 2 per cent ger annum, that is evidence that b married, aged 85, and the other business is stagnaut; that euterprises are par- alyzed; that the industries of the country are UNDER A CLOUD, and that men are afraid to Invest their money in ansthing that gives employment to labor, and which makes the industries that are herc represented. Now, I do ot helleve In inflation, but 1 believe that we shiall have no stability 'in our finances, in onr comm eree, or in our industrics, until the Government of the United States shall retirg every dollar of paper now in exist- ence, and dintil theyishall et out of the busi- Dnese'of making gold and sfiver, and leave the work to THE PRIVATE CAPITALISTS. of the country, under the best bank lawsin existence in the country. Let politics and Gov- ernment get out of the financial affairs of this countryy and you will not have on your State and national platforms resolutions offered that there must be so much money issued in order that there must be so much capital. Leave it to the law of trade, but not of politics. [Ap- plause.] . Now, then, I believe that the Government of the United States is not prepared, nor ‘WILL NOT BE PREPARED, to resume specic payment on the 1st of Janua- 3, 1879, If vou remonetize the siver dollar, cven then you cannot resume with that vitilated currency. Idonot believe the Government of the United States expected that the resumption act-would be practicable when it was adopted. 1t was adopted as a stepping-stone in_the diree- tion of specie payments. What I want is for this Chamber of Commerce to express its oninion on this resubption act, whetlier they be- lieve it. is practicable or not. The substitute meane that something shouid be adopted with 2 view to establish 4 system that will bring specie payments WITH TIIE LEAST POSSIBLE DISTRESS to the interests of the country, or cle it means nothing at all. The substitute offered by Mr. Rowlund, which T haye aceepted in the resolu- tion drawn up hastily by m¢, means_ something better. and the voie will show whether this Chamber of Commerco approves this substitu- i adopted.

The Twenty-first Company bas one of the oldest and most happy badges, the sun rising out of the clouds,—the Black Prince assumed this when he began to be famous, and another company has the risen sun in his glory, a devica which the irony of fate led Richard I1. tobear. The Fifth Company displays the white rose with an aureole of suubeams round about it, in memory of the threc sans in the leavens, suddenly joining in obe, scen hefore the victory of Mortimer’s Cross. The Fourth Comgluny has the portcullis of the Somersets, which Ienry VIL bore in honor of Lis_mother, the Lady ‘Margarct, and figured with tha rose all about the walls of his and her foundations at Cambridge. The badge of the white and red roscs on one which Elizabeth adopted also occurs, though without the motto she added, which explains 80 much _of her policy toward her nobles, Virat Prudentia_reqnans. Among the badges aided by Rueen Victoria are the Lion of Nassau, rampant on an azure shicld, the crest used by William IL., and the arms of the I'rince Con- gort. Sir F. W.

One of the bits of i:ist:ry most familiar to Americaps is Jackson’s Batile of New Orleans, where, from behind his breastwork of cotton bales (a material which the enemy’s cannon could mot pierce), he rcpulsed with pro- digious = sluughter Packenham’s veterans, fresh from their Europcan victorics. This story_of the rampart of cotton. as related in both English_and Amcrican historics is, how- ever. purely “apocryphal. Its origin scems to have been the fact that, many day3 betore the Dattle of Jan. 8 (for Jackson’s troops had been working steadily at the intrenchments since Christmas), about fifty cotton bales were taken outof ancizhhoring flat-boat and thrown into a line of eartworks to increase its bulk. About a week before the ussault, in a preliminary skir- wish, as Walker tells us in his “Jackson and New Orleans,” the enemy’s balls striking one of these bales, knocked it out of the mound, set fire to the cotion, snd sent it fying about to the great donger of the am- munition. All the bales were conscquent- ly removed. *‘ After this,” continues the ac- couut, * uo cotton-bales were ever used in the Dreastwork., The mound was composed entire- Iy of carth dug from the canal and the field fn . therear. The experimeut of Using cotton amd other articles in_raising the embankment had been discarded.” “Asain, for cighteen yerrs after this battle it was ' Gospel with us that the British officers at dawn * promised thelr ® troops a plentiful dinner du chV{ ’Orlm:.lll‘u, mlld aye them ‘booty an eaul as the parole gnd coull'.l:rsx':,'nyu! the |l:ky.X In 1833 Gen. Lambert aud four other British officers, who Lasd been engaszed in the luckless expedition, denicd tiils story, which aceordingly uus wmeasurably vanished out of history. The absurd fiction of thie ooty and beauty ” watehword reappears, Lowever, at intervals in_our own civil war, 8- cribed to Gen. Beauregard and other Coufeder- ate oflicers. Our ancestors, also, used to cnjoy the story of Putnam’s exploit at Horsencck, where he escaped from o party of Tyrow's troops by forclugr his horse down a flight of scuenty stone stops (auother account swells them to & hun- dred) that formed the stairway by which the villagers ascended to the church” oo the brow of the hill. This is the narration in Peters *Iistory of Connecticut,” a Dbook which Dwight cills -* 8 tuuss 9f folly and falsehood? The story of the stairway is sheer Tfabrication, founded on the fact that common stoncs here and there aided the villagers to ascend the hill; yet there exist pictures of Put- nam charging down 2 Jovg tier of steps, as well- defined and regular as those of the Capitol at Washington, while the_discomtited dragoons at the top pour in 8 volley that does not harm ‘him. A partial parallel to this exaggeration may be found in_the current descriptions of * Sheri- dan’s Ride” at Winchester, a 8olid exploit, brill- jantly touched up in Buchauan Reade’s vers concerning which last the great cavalry geiferal is said to have jocosely remarked that if the bard had seen the horse hd never would have written the pocin, . e LATE CRIMINAL ITEMS. John Ahren, 2 young man whose paronts re- side at No.507 North uvenue, lust evening at 10:30 o’lock fell from a window in the second story of tue Parker House, alizhting upon the sidewalk on Talsted street. Dr. Adams, who attended him, says his jaw is broken. as is also the left leg at the thigh, but that theinjories are not dangerous. Toward 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon Detect- ive James Morgun spotted a horse-thiel riding about town iv a §500 rig recently stolen from ‘Thomas W. Witherell, of No. 4 Park Row. He give chase and followed his man over Adams- street bridge, south on Halsted, and west on Twelfth street. At the corner of Newbherry avenue and Twelfth street Morgan’s bugzy broke down by running foul of the street-car track, but at this point Officer Dain, of the West Tweltth Street Station, cleverly took up the pursuit, snd captured his man in a vacant Jot ncar the corner of Twelfth and Johnson streets. At the statlon he gave the name of J. W. Anderson. aud was at once recognized by Morgan as the fellow who recently stole a horse and buggy from David Saulpaugh, of No. 55 Talsted street. Ultimately the prisoner owned that he was muilty of both thefts, and tuat he had put the buggy in a repair shop at No. 533 Hatsted strect. At about 3:30 yesterday afternoon, Officer Patrick Dougherty, of the West Lake squad, on duty at the east cud of West Randolph street, notlced a suspicions young colored man buzzing about from one pawnshop to another. He fol- lowed him, aud saw him try to disposc-of & watch in a shop near Clinton street, whereupon he . swooped down upon him and bore him stationwards. Upon scarching him two other walches besides the one he was awning were found upon his person, and were dentificd s belonging to D. Frohman, a pawn- broker doing business at No. 330 State street, whose pluce was burglarized of about $500 worth of pledges upon the. morning of the 1ith ult. Aftera deul of coercion, the colored chap owned up, ani said e had_gotten the goods from an- other man, who, o the light of present develop- wents, he said, must be the thief. He threw up both hands and begeed for mercy, claiming to be a respectable hard-working waiter in the Tremont Housc, and was not guilty of the burglary. Thomas Pine was de- tailed to aid Dougherty i working up the case. und by night seventéen watches and jewelry, valued at sbout four-fifths of the entire loss, had been recovered, some from pawnshops, an some from the residence of young Ives on the second floor of No. 88 Flurrison street. At this latter ovlace a woman claim- ing the prisoner, Charles Ives, for her hushand was also arrested. Frohmann is greatly tickled over the recovery, for, as the goudls were nearly all pledees, und valued by the owners much more highly tbhan the amount louned on them, he would have been a loser to the extent of about three timesthe amount named.

That of late years _torpedocs have been ereatly im- roved is undoubtedly a fact, but none he less s it true that the advantawes to be gained by a judicious emplogment of submarine Weapons of war have long béen fully recognized, and, further, that tlese fatter have heen already largely used, aud with great cffeet, both for the defence of harbors, rivers, roadsteads, etc., and also for more actively offensive operntions. As long ago us the 15th of A t, 1777, & boat blown to pieces and nearly all its crew Iled by the accidental explosion of a torpedo which haa been used in an attempt made by the Awericans against the English man-of-war Cere- bus. In 1803 a bris which had been anchored off Deal for the purposcof experiment in submarine explosions wus destroyed, inthe presence of Mr. Pitt and a lurge concourse of spectators, by a torpedo containing 170 pounds of der. Previously, in_ 1797, n machine had desigmed. by which, to use t or's own words, he proposed * to impart to carcasses of gunpowder in 4 progressive motion under water to a given point, aid - there ex- plode them,” and which, therefore, contaived the gormn of ' the prescu Tocomotive or fish tor- peda. 2 In 1807 another vessel was. blown to pieces in New York harbor; and, finally, to cone to the cemployment of torpedoes in actual warfare, we find that no fewer than seven iron-clad ves- sels and n wooden shios of war were total- 1y destroyed during the Ameriean civil war by submerged torpedoes. —————— A Parisian Art-Sehool. An art-school in Paris is described in a letter from J. William Tattison, the artist, to the St. Louls Glbe. The room was larre and - bigh, Mke a New En- giand barn, and equally unornamented. There were forty or more students. Inthe centre, mounted on a small platform, stood the model, a stalwart Algerian. His naked body, posed to develop its grace- ful strength, stood immovable—a bronze statue. It'is the custom always to work from a nude figure—a man two weceks, a woman one week, so alternating. The model is changed every seven days. The students were of all ages, from 18 to 40. Each man was covered with- a peasant’s blouse, 'and beneath this was clean and fashionable bocts apld trousers, ~or pessants’ - corduroys and brogans. There were carefull: med and” ueatly-brushed heads, and not a fow which appearcd ignorant of scissors and combs, as well as of clean linen. To cnable 86 mauy persons to see the model at once, the two front rauks sit on stools about six inches high, and use cascls lifting the picturc bul cigzhiicen inches from the floor. Next behind are those o little higher, then those using or- dinary chalrs, those standing up, and finally a rank who stand upon platforms, using stilted easels. At the commencement of each Week ull take new places, the first place being iven to those who chose last _in the week gone y. Each student paints or draws that portion of the model which it pleases him to select,— bead, full length, or & fragment. The greatest liberty is given in the matter of size and man- mer of treatment or executlon, but the drawing must be correct, spirited, and artistic. SECRET SOCIETIES. MASONIC. GOD AND MASONRY.
