THE VOTERS’ VOICE. {QERMAN-AMEEICANS AND E. B. WASHBUBNE. To ths Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cmcaco, April 10.—The very able letter in to-dsy’s TRIBUNE by one of my countrymen fn relation to the Presidency contains the right ideas of us German-Americans. Mr. ‘Washburne is positively the only man sure of an election, as Indiana and New York, through the German vote, will be carried Republican. Ispoke this week with an In- diana editor (American), who said the only man able to carry that State was Washburne sgainst the Democratie nominee. Even Mr. Blaine, as prominent as he is, will not be able to carry New York and Indiana, and, there being a Solid South, these two Statesit 1s essentially necessary to carry. Jf the syndicate—Conkling, Cameron, and Logan—believe they are able to deliver the delegates to nominate Grant, they will never De able to secure his election. as the people donot want him, and Mr. Grant ousht to imow this fact. No matter how well he is received and honored down South, they are solid against nim or any other Republican for President, except E. B. Washburne, who will receive the German-American’ yote, uth, North, East, and West, without any ception, Republicans and Democrats, and Ymay possibly carry some Southern States through the German vote, The people are for Washburne for President, no matter if the office-seekers and ex-ofliceholders_ boom for Grant, Blaine, or Sherman. Ar. Grant, ff heis aware of the feeling against him, ought to declare himself not a candidate. Why cannot he be as magnanimous as E. B. Washburne, who foolishly refuses to listen to any boom for _ himself zs long as Gen. Grant isacandidate? Let him withdraw, and no power on earth can prevent the nomination, eiection, and inaugu- ration of E. B, Washburne. Gen. Grantis un- doubitedly dear to the American people,— foreign-born as well as nativecand, there is only one_request Hey, make,—to withdraw from the Presidential fight for the purpose of elevating his stanch friend, E. B. Washburne, to the Presidency of this greatcountry. ‘Che American Nation will be still more thankful for it, the greatest act of hislife. Theorgan- iation of Blaine Clubs being only for the purpose of defeating Grant and nominating ‘ashburne, ought now, so soon before the meeting of the National Convention, to con- vince the syndicate of the dangerous game they are playing. The withdrawal of Gen. Grant now willsecure the nomination of E. B. ‘Washburnebyacclamation. Thefivemonths’ campaign will be the most peaceable and pleasant ever experienced, The mercantile community will not be injuriously affected, which is generally the case in Presidential campaign years. Let Conkling, Cameron, and Logan take warning. The day of reck- oning is coming. They are digging their po- 3 litical gravesif they insist upon their base de- isign, = GERMAN-AMERICAN REPUBLICAN. HE CAN'T SOLVE IT. To the Editor of The Chicago ‘Tribune. Cmcaco, April 9—I cannot understand ‘the puzzle. Who in this country wants Mr. U.S. Grant for our next President? Is there aclass of powerful corporations and wealthy families that are try to crowd him upon the pegple? What condition must our coun- ‘try be in to require Mr. Grant for President ? Aud what condition not to require him for Is tt oh Oven ie Inter- min favor of Grant for “ournext President? An OLp SOLDIER. , THE PACIFIC COAST. Sax Francisco, April 10.—Senator Kane, Row in jail at Sacramento, will probably make no effort for his release, preferring to ‘wait until the adjournment, which will occur $n the 16th, when he will be set at liberty.

D. ‘Sullivan, eilitor of the Nation (Nationiilist and Home-Ruler) have been chosen for West Meath, a Home-Rule gain of one. MORE RETURNS. Lonpoy, April 10.—South Ireland reélects Sullivan, Home-Ruler, and elects Phillip Callan, Home-Ruler, in place of George H. Kirk, Liberal, in favor of Home-Rule, Lord Edward. Cavendish, brother of the Marquis of Hartington, is chosen for Derbyshire North, in place of Augustus P. Arkwright, Conservative. Mayor Gray, of Dublin, Home-Ruler, is elected for Carlow. ; LATER. John Walter, proprietor of the Times, is elected for Berkshire; D. H. Macfarlane, Home-Ruler, for Carlow County, a Home- Rule gain; Joseph G. Biggar and Charles J. Fay, Home-Rulers, elected for Cavan. Up to this time 400 constituencies have been heard from which have returned 358 Liberals, 230 Conservatives, and 52 Home-Rulers. GLADSTONE. Public enthusiasm appears to grow to such a degree it is thought highly improbable that Gladstone will be able to decline tne recep- tion preparing for him by the Liberals. CANDIDATES FOR THE PEERAGE. Lospoy, ‘April 10.—Among the names mentioned for promotion to the Peerage are Alexander T. W. R, Baille Cochrane, Con- servative member of the last House of Com- mons for the Isle of Wight; Sir Lawrence Polk, Conservative member for Devon, Eas' jn the last House; and Montagu Corry, Lor Beaconsfield’s secretary. “ BEACONSFIELD’S SUCCESSOR. Vanity Fair states that the Queen will send for Earl Granville when Lord Beacons- field resigns the Premiership. The Saturday Revicw thinks Lord Beac- onsfield will retire before Parliament meets, and that the chances seem to be against Mr. Gladstone’s acceptance of office. ‘The Spectator thinks Gladstone cannot be left out of the new Cabinet, and that he can- not occupy any place in it except first place. ‘The Economist says: There is a growing tendency to regard the Liberal success ai the Parliamentary elections favorable to business, and it appears probable that we are on the eve of another outburst of speculation. THE TOTAL VOTE. Lospos, April 10.—The_ total number of votes polled thus far is 1,525,000 Liberal, and 1,141,000 Conservative, showing a gain of 401,000 Liberal, and 113,000 Conservative ‘votes. LORD HAMPTON. Announcement. is made of the death ot Lord Hampton (the Hon. John Somerset Pakington), who was born in 1799, Me rep- resented in Parliament the Conservatives of Droitwich from 1837 to 1874. Though opposed to free trade, Sir Robert Peel made him a Baronet iu 1846. GERMANY. THE ARMY BILL. Bertry, April 10.—The Reichstag has con- cluded the second reading of the Army bill, having adopted the remainder of the clauses without alteration. Amendments exempt- ing the clergy from military service were re- jected. The proposal of Von Buehler for a congress to promote a universal disarma- ment was rejected almost unanimously. CORRECTION. Nore—By 2 blunder of the cable last night Herr Rickert (National Liberal) was made to say: “A party existed in Germany that wished to weaken the defensive power of the Fatheriand.” What he did say was that the strengthening of the army was of the highest importance to the-nation, and must not be made a party question; that no party existed in Germany that wished to weaken the defensive power of Fatherland. BURMAH. NOT CONFIRMED. Rancoox, April 10.—The report of the death of King Theebaw, of Burmah, cannot be traced to an authentic source, but indis- criminate human sacrifices have been of- fered at Mandalay to save his life. Small-pox is raging at Mandalay, and the heir-apparent has-died from the disease. Telegraphic communication is interrupted. FOUR HUNDRED PERSONS TO BE SACRIFICED. Lonpos, April 10.—A Burmah correspond- ent says the Mandalay astrologers maintain that, in order to remove the evil influences, a great propitiatory sacrifice is requisit, the victims to be taken from all ranks to the number of 400. The priests are to contrib- ute 100. The remainder will be men, women, andchildren. Many arrests have been made to secure a sufficient number for the victims to be selected from. The priests, who have hitherto enjoyed immunity from sacrifice, are quitting Mandalay in great numbers. The Catholic convent was entered to procure Victims from among the girls there, but the attempt was frustrated. ‘[he internal condi- tion of the country is most unsatisfactory. The people, while seeing the folly of King Theebaw’s acts, are helpless to effect a change. on RUSSIA. GORTSCHAKOFF DYING. Special Cavle. Pans, April 10.—A St. Petersburg corre- spondent telegraphs this evening that Prince Gortschakoff is dying. The bulletin whick fiis doctor, M. Koslow, has just sent to the Emperor concludes by saying that the symptoms are alarming. Telegrams have been dispatched to his two suns, one of avhom is in Paris, .and the other of whom is Russian Minister at Madrid. It is doubtful if they will arrive in St. Petersburg in time to find their father alive. Notwithstanding his exhaustion, the Chancellor has preserved all his lucidity. He is at this hour alone stretched on his bed, with only his old valet to attend him. THE FLEET FOR CHINESE WATERS. To the Western Assoctated Press. Sr. Perensnona, April 10.—It is thought that the naval demonstration may have a sal- utary effect on the Chinese, and that step is partly due to the news that the reaction- ary party in China is gaining the ascend- ency, to the danger of all Europeans, whose respective Ministers have consequently asked for naval reinforcements in Chinese ‘waters. CONVICTS. Two hundred Russian convicts have ar- rived at Odessa for transportation to the Isl- and of Saghalien. DYING. A telegram from the Russian Consul at ‘Van, Armenia, appeals for aid to save the inhabitants of that district from annihila- tion. The famine is increasing. One hun- dred and fifty persons have died of starva- tion at Agbak. In the villages the girls are dying. One hundyed have died at Van. The Russian authorities of Rastoft have for- warded 50,000 poods of flour to Van. GORTSCHAKOFF ILL. Sr. PETERsBULG, April 10.—Gortschakoff’s life is considered in danget 1 BILLIARDS. SLOSSON—VIGNAUX. Paris, April 10.—The Vignaux-Slosson billiard match began this evening. Slosson started with 1 point, following with 2 points. The next breaks resulted in’Slosson $2 and Vignaux 60; Slosson 24, followed by a run of 422 by Vignaux, which was hailed with cheers. Vignaux’s next largest break was 185. Slosson’s two largest breaks were 297 and 292. Vignaux averaged 185; Slos- son 147. @ Both champions were loudly applauded. Vignaux made the 800 points first, Slosson scoring 624. ‘There was considerable betting. The Prince of Wurtemburg was present. The game lasted 2 hours 55 minutes, and will be resumed to-morrow evening. , AUSTRIA. LOST IN SPECULATION. Vienna, April 10.—Jules Strasser, cashier of the Rothschilds, arrested for embezzle- ment, lost half a million florins in specula- tion on the Bourse. His brothers have also been arrested. “ RAILROADS. A railway convention between Austria and Servia has been signed, insuring the comple- tion within a fixed time of the connections between the Austrian and Servian lines, with contingent provisions for the extension of the latter into Bulgaria and Macedonia. FRANCE. DENIED, Panis, April 10.—The assasination of Wal- lon is officially contradicted. : DE CABSAGNAC. The Ordre advises De Cassagnac to find another branch of the Bonapartes, or to transfer his allegiance to the Countde Cham- bord, as there is nothing in common between the Imperialism of De Cassagnac and that of the party of Prince Jerome Napoleon. TURKEY. BEACONSFIELD’S FALL. Lonpoxs, April 10.—A Constantinople cor- respondent telegraphs: “The elections in England have produced a profound impres- sion, and at the palace almost a panic. Tho Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians, and Chris- tians rejoice at Beaconstield’s fall. The more sanguine assume that Gladstone will turn ‘Turkey out of Europe, bag and baggage.” THE WEEK. THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS. Special Cable. Lonpow, April 10.—Louis Blanc condenses the result of the elections into a phrase de- claring that the Liberal victory is a triumph of political morality. The English Tories, calumniating their own country, circulate the wildest fictions in explanation of the defeat, even alleging that constituencies have been bought with Rus- sian gol& Utter confusion reigns in the Tory camp. Eminent men heretofore reck- oned sane are pronouncing the country ruined, its prestige gone, its influence in European councils sacrificed, and that revolution is impending at home. The truth is, success restores to power leaders who are intensely jealous of the honor and glory of England, and are pledged to maintain, not her ascendency, but her just influence abroad, while the majority of the new House, though overwhelmingly Liberal, it is computed will contain a pre- ponderance of moderate men. The party whips reckon that a majority of the Liberals will sit above not below the gangway. The net Liberal gains, excluding Home-Rulers,. exceéd 100 seats. The clear Liberal majority, over Tories and Home- Rulers combined, is about 40. Not since 1835 have the the Tories been so weak numerically and so discredited morally. PARNELL. Mr. Parnell’s attempt at Irish dictatorship collapses, notwithstanding his personal tri- ymph at Cork. ‘The successful attacks made by a few opponents elsewhere pre- sent results which forepode a_decrease in the whole number_of HomeRulers. It is doubtful whether Mr. Parnell’s personal followers will exceed a dozen. Meanwhile, Mr. Parnell is doing unwitting service to the Liberals in opposing Liberals and moderate Home-Rulers_ alike, making clear the com- picts separation between the Liberals and Hi imself. Rumors of a Tory-Parnell alliance are al- ready afloat. ‘The Tory journals devote themselves to in- yenting ingenious theories to account for the defeat.’ Depression in trade, bad harvests, democratic caprice, Liberal misrepresenta- tions, and many other fictitious causes are as- signed. THE REAL CAUSE is the vprotound dissatisfaction of the people with Lord Beaconsfield’s policy and method of Government. Lord Beaconsfield himself appealed to the country to support the prin- viples of English ascendency in Europe and Asia. Other causes contributed in a minor degree, but this was the main lement in the controversy, while weariness of sham Im- perialism was the chief factor. LORD BEACONSFIELD’S OVERTHROW, which was completed by, the English bor- oughs and the subsequent Liberal county victories. turned frequently on the farmers’ intense dissatisfaction at the predominance of Jandlordism in the Tory councils, and the cool repudiation of many promised measures to relieve the farmers of intolerable burdens.. The ballot enabled the farmers, now for the first time convinced that secrecy was insured, to vote according to their interests and convictions, safely defy- ing the landlord pressure. But typical tri- umps like those of Mr. Gladstone in Mid- Lothian and Lord danttington in Lancashire, and the extraordinary gains in nearly all the great northern shires, prove that the coun- ties, like the boroughs, were mainly in- fluenced by national considerations, and re- solved to expel Beaconsfield and redeem the country, The politicians and newspapers are busily discussing THE PREMIERSHIP, and urging Lord Beaconsfield t¢ resign im- mediately upon the Queen’s return, in order to allow the new Administration to meet Parliament in time to complete the business of the session. The Queen’s con- tinued absence occasions sharp _com- ments, A Baden letter describes the Queen as exasperated against Lord Beaconsfield, al- leging that he deceived her respecting the real feeling of the country, and alienated the most loyal portion of her dominions. The elections will be substantially terminated on Monday, after which there is no reason why Lord Beaconsfield'should hold office a day longer. DEMONSTRATIONS IN FAVOR OF MR. GLAD- STONE as Premier are daily increasing. Bath sides agree that this is his victory. The country followed his lead, and insist on the right that he shall release personal _reluct~ ance and assume the leadership. Every leading — paper, Liberal and Tory, concur in the necessity of the Premiership being offered to Mr, Glad- stone, leaving with him the responsibility of refusal. it is certain that Mr. Gladstone will decline a subordinate office. He has written to several friends scouting the no- tion of him accepting the Chancel- lorship of the Exchequer, or any other portfolio under Earl Granville, but declares himself ready to give Joyal support to the leader as an independent member. ‘This is generally felt_to be an impossible sit- uation. It is expected that there will bea conference of the Liberal leaders next week. It is still ‘supposed that. the Queen will summon Earl Granville first. Many Lib- erals would prefer Lord Hartington, whose speeches and management during the elec- tion have vastly augmented his reputation, and he is now reckoned superior to Ear! Granville in firmness, nor will the party like being led from the House of Lords, where the Liberals are in a great minority. THE DRAMATIC COMPLETENESS of the Liberal triumph is impaired by the failure to defeat Mr. Walter in Berkshire. No single influence save Beaconsfield’s was so mischievous in recent years as Mr. Wal- }) ter’s. Since Mr. Delane’s death he hasassumed direct control of the Times, and is responsi- ble for all that journal’s vagaries, weaknesses, and persistent mistakes in regard to the temper of the English people. Holding a minority seat, personally popular, and a large landowner, contributing to 2 oe numerous charities, with the prestigy of Tepresenting Berkshire nearly twenty years, there was great difficulty in finding a candi- date to oppose him, Mr. Rogerscame zor- ward in the tenant-farmer interest at the last moment, and almost succeeded. Mr. Walzer, olling about half the Tory vote, beats Mr. Rogers by 98 votes in a total poll of over 5,000, in consequence of his haying coneiliated some Liberals by a pledge to sup- port in future the eral Government, though adhering to his past votes on ques- tions of foreign policy.. This narrow escape is likely to result in the complete conversion of the Times, which is already wavering. Lord Beaconsfield has returned to London, and is engaged in Downing, street preparing to move out. The servant is instructed to reply to inquirers respecting his health that he ig as well as could be expected, THE PRINCE OF WALES IN PATS. Special Cable, Panis, April10.—The Prince of Wales is here, making a round of the theatres and studios. He Sat yesterday for his portrait to Bastien Le Page, who is authorized to do copies for the Princess Hagan and other ladies. ‘The Prince will be the witness of Mile. Diana Gallifet at her approaching marriage with Frank Selliere. The Baroness Hirsch was unable to catch the Royal English lion for her soirée musicale. The company notwithstanding was brilliant. The Swedish beauty, Mme Boys, wore there a scarlet foulard arranged as a cap of liberty. in anticipation, she ironically sald, of the descent of the Republic into red radicalism. Mme. Patti and Nicolini, in stage costumes, sang «the third scene in “Aida,” a romance from “Mignon,” and another melody. Prince Oscar came in from Victor Hugo's reception. PROF. NOKDENSKJOLD partook, yesterday of a family dinner at Victor Hugo’s. ‘The poet improvised strik- ing verses on learning from the explorer that the brilliant crown of magnetic light sus- pended over the North Pole is not so much to light the Polar region as apparently to arouse the curiosity of other planets. Mme. Adam’s artistic soirée was the greatest social event of the week. Public men who had shunned that lady for fear of compromising themselves with Prince Bismarck alleged in excuse, when she — reproachet ines that their wives were displeased at the ex- clusively masculine character of her receptions, and ‘wouldn’t ict them attend. Mme. Adam accordingly issued cards for the first Wednesday of each month to ladies ex- clusively to meet her ordinary Wednes- day visitors. Parisiennes are not supposed to care for politics, she’ engaged renowned. musicians, vocalists, and comedians to amuse them, ‘To the world’s wonder, distinguished and honorable ladies connected with artistic and literary society, were present. Presi- dent Grévy’s wife and daughter also ac- cepted the invitation. The English elec- tions having broken up the scheme for a tripartite holy alliance, they probably were emboldened to attend the soirées of Prince Bismarek’sfairfoe, Sara Bernhardt read sen- timental poems. Sheworeawhitesatin Van- dyke dress; her hair, dyed Titian red, waved loosely, turned up behind, and frizzled over her forehead. ie. Boga sang wild Russian songs with spirit, Mme. Szarvady, the organist, played Hungarian music, and the Cocquetins recited farces of side-splitting drollery. ‘THE FRENCH BISIOPS are taking the fead in the movement_against the decrees of the Sistof March. Protesta- tions have been addressed to the President by_the Archbishop of Tours and his four suffragans, and yesterday the Arch- bishop of Rouen followed their example, ‘The Debats of this morning observes that it is singular to see the French Episcopacy availing itself of those decrees as a pretext to protest in favor of the liberty of the Church, when the Church itself, does not seem to perceive that it is the prisoner and slave of the religious congregations. PRINCE NAPOLEON. Paul de Cassagnac is waging an unmerci- ful war against Prince Napoleon and his Prelension. It says that his (Cassagnac’s) napartism can afford to wait for the reali- zation of his hopes until death will have put aterm to the Prince’s control “over his son Prince Victor. KEPT BUSY. Nordenskjold and Capt. Palanderleft Paris Festerday, ‘By this time they are doubtless ack in ~London. A statist calculates that during the past seven days Prof. Nordenskjéld and Capt. Palander, while in Paris, slept only twenty-two hours, attended thirty-one banqnets and luncheons, heard 147 &ddresses,-and deliv- ered twenty-four speeches’ or lectures. For some days before his departure Prof. Nord- enskj6ld had been quite thrown into the shade by that very peculiar heroine, MARIE BIERE. Great dramatists and titled ladies haye vied with each other in doing her honor. Yester- day she was nobody. To-day she is a hero- ine. To-morrow, I foresee, she will-be thrown aside and forgotten like the merest Verdi or Nordenskjéld. Sensible people are already protesting st the frothy demon- strations of the last few days. HORSE SHOW. There is a great falling off in the quali- yy of the horses now exhibiting. at the show of the Societé Hippipgne Frangaise in the Palais de l’Industrie. This is most noticeable in the half-bred Norman horses, which are clumsier in build and fieshier than on former occasions. In this country, with large cavalry horses to mount, this question is of vital importance. The Government will, no doubt, endeavor to remedy matters without delay. PICTURES. Twenty-five new pictures by Edouard Monet’ are at_present on view in a private gallery on the Boulevard desItalien. Though eccentric and crude,they are exceedingly curious, and some decidedly clever, but all tainted with vulgarity. The most remarka- ble are portrafts of Mme. Emile Sola and ‘altesse. Several studies of life in the low- est type of Parisian café concerts are singu- larly truthful, though repulsive. CONTINENTAL OPINION. Spectal Cable, Lonpoy, April 10.—Continental opinion on the result .of the English clections is not reassuring. The . uneasiness is not con- fined to Conservative journals alone, but prevails in all uropean — capi- tals. Mr. Gladstone’s studied insult to Austria is universally condemned as an unstatesmanlike and wanton disregard of courtesy. A few days ago Mr. Gladstone was interviewed by a trustworthy corre- spondent of the Vienna Allegemeine Zci- tung, and_ said, in substance, regarding the Austriun incident, that he had been misrep- resented. He said thathe understood per- fectly well the difference between the old and present rézimes in Austria, but he hated Met- ternich, and he added, “I hate all that recalls in the slightest his system of inter- ference in the affairs of the people who are working out their own freedom. Tho free Slavic races should be permitted to build thelr future without molestation. Whoever among the Austrians knows the significance of the English expression ‘hands off? knows my policy. ‘Hands off.’ I repeat what I said aboutthe policy of Austria. I felt it my duty to say Lam THE WATCH-DOG THAT BARKS. If a watch-dog does his duty he gives warn- ing, and won’t have sand thrown in his eyes; put,” added Mr. Gladstone, laughing, “I am 2 watch-do; t barks for the honor, love,. freedom, and fatherland of the Austrian people, and of every free Cabinet of Austria, At the same time from other free people’s property and land, Hands off, say L ‘They talk of the Austro- German alliance, and of England’s joining it. Let them talk. We must know much more about it before we sign a sanguine and light- minded certificate.” A GIBRALTAR, ' While Russia postpones the departure of Gen. Skobeleff in the anticipation of some easier solution of the Asiatic imbroglio, Spain, imbued with 3 conviction of the usual peace-at-any-price policy of the Liberals, again casts envious eyes on Gibraltar. Cas- telar, speaking before the Cortes, in a discus- sion of a railway projected from Xeres to Algeciras, in place of one projected along the coast of Cadiz to the line of Gibraltar, said: “We cannot and will not renounce our claim to Gibraltar, Mr. Gladstone presents himself before the electorswith a program céd- ing Gibraltaras he ceded the Ionian Islands.” Several Ministerial and the Liberal organs of Madrid express their satisfaction with the re- sult of the elections, which are believed to close the active policy of England abroad. All the Spanish statesmen, Castelar and Can- ovan, Liberals and Conservatives, regard the fall of Lord Beaconsfield as a fortunate event for the Russian policy in Asia and the East. ‘As a rule there is a general feeling that, though Lord ‘Beaconsheld used British prestige theatrically, yet to some effect, the iberals promise to follow the Conservative foreign policy, but Dy other methods, and to qnaintain the British honor and glory abroad. Yet Mr. Gladstone, even before party as- sumes power, brings upon them the ill-will of alarge empire by stirring up the hopes and ambitions of insignificant nationalities | |. who, the Liberals are really powerless to assist. The Bonapartist paper of Pari: Ord skillfully compares ng and to the gamblet atter a run of luck, refuses to endanger his winnings. ‘The clerical Monde regards the elections as_a sign of Political decay. Beaconsfield’s Cabinet, it argues, has been overturned by the very electors who overthrew Gladstone, In En- gland the masses mistake insult for argu- VARIOUS.

CONFIRMED. : Panis, April 10.—A telegram from Singa- Pore confirms the report of the murder of Wallon by natives of Sumatra while on a scientific mission for the French Govern- ment. The Governor of Acheen has gone with troops to recover the body and effects, and punish the murderers. GUSINJE AND PLAVA.

New Yours, April 10.—The Express says: “The steamship Scandinavian, one of the vessels used for transportation of freight by the Anchor Line, bound for Bristol, England, with a cargo of grain and cattle; came in col- lision with an unknown vessel in the lower bay this morning and was severely injured. A hole was stove in her side and the water rushed in with great rapidity. There were no passengers on board, the vessel being ex- dlusively for the carrying of freight. Sig- nals ‘of distress were immediately hoisted and towboats ran alongside and brought the Scandinavian back to port. ‘The vessel was obliged to return to dock and discharge her live stock. The steamer struck on the starboard side, just aft the mizzenmast, carrying away the mizzen-rig- ‘ing, boat, rail, and after-house, and Was cut lown to the water’s edge. The ship with which the Scandinavian was in collision was the Thiorva of Picton, N. S., at anchor at the time. The Thiorva lost her jibboom, bow- sprit, headgear, and part of her stern, and leaks badly. ABANDONED.

But I will now describe a mode of churning but- ter that will, Lthink, make New England folks open.their eyes. Commonly, tney do not make much butter in this county, and the settlershore come to get along without it; but by the time I bad been at the poesta two or three days, I be- gan to want some butter on my bread. 3 M— had x herd of twenty-five or thirty cattle, which be kept for beef, and among them were a number of milch cows. Ed was bidden to set tho milk for twenty-four hours; and the next morning 3i—— told Lizado, or “ Liz,” as we called him, to churn. They had done such a thing as to churn butter before, it appears. Liz went and brought a bag of raw hide, about as large a3 2 cominon meni bag. How clean it was inside, I am sure I do not Know; but he turned the cream into it, and poured in new miik enough to fill it two-thirds full; and then he tied - it up with a strong strip of hide. M-—— stood with # broad grin on his face. I was alrendy too much astonished to make any remarks. Liz now carried the bag out of doors and then got his horse. Taking his lasso off the snddle, he made one end of it fast to the cream bag, the other end, es usual, being attached toa ring in the saddle. This done, he jumped on the horse and tucked opus tohim. Away he went, and at the first jerk that bag went ten feet in the air and fell with a squauch close up at the horse's heels. Atthe uext jerk it went higher still. He soon went ont of sight, with the bar dancing after him. Sometimes it hit down alongside the horse and sometimes it struck slap on the animal's rump. M—— was convulsed with laughter—nt me. I suppose; forI must con- fess that this upset all my previous idoas of but- ter-making. In the course of twenty or thirty minutes Liz came back, the horse looking pretty hot and the bag yery dusty. “Es mantica” (butter’s come), said he. Ed untied the churn, and sure enough, there was & good homely chunk of butter in it; and it proved to be very decent butter, too. They said it was, and Ed declared it was ‘a dale asier than turnin’ acrank.” So I respectfully submit the “meth- od” toall our good people PP. North. Every- thing needed for it is a sole-leather bay, a clothes-line, and a horse. LOCAL CRIME. THE MATCH-BOND CASES. Constable J. Q. Grant, colored, turned up in the rdle of a bungler again last night. He , Was yesterday given the custody of W. J. Ralph, one of the mateh-bond swindlers, who was surrendered in the United States , District Court, after hanging about town until late in the evening, searching in vain for a new bondsman. At 10:30 they were aboard of an outgoing train on the Rock Island Road, the Constable having agreed to go with Ralph to his home at South Englewood, and remain with him there until Monday, when he would be more apt to find some one to go his bail. Lis bonds were in the sum of $5,000 upon a charge of perjury, and were signed by George W. Sutherland and Elizabeth Scrafield, the former living at 116 Blue Island avenue and the latter at No. 1493 Prairie avenue. These people say they thought Grant was playing with his charge, and hence kept close watch over him ant followed ‘them closely to the depot. When the Constable stepped into the buzgage-car to buy a couple of cigars, Mr. Sutherland and Mrs. Scrafield stepped up to Ralph, who was alone upon one of the cars, and demanded to know how he eame to be at liberty. Some words passed between them, and Ralph, though a large and powerful man, was led off to the Armory by Mr. Sutherland. There he was booked for as- sault, a charge which, it is claimed, was trumped up by Mrs. Scrafield. Prior to leav- ing the train Ralph’s captors told the con- duetor to tell Grant where they were bound for, but as the train was just leaving the depot Grant did not discover that he was without a prisoner until Sixteenth street was reached. He hurried back to the Armory, but the prisoner was already booked for the assault, and he could not get him. * Itis difficult to judge whether this was some snap game to defeat justice or whether it is simply a farcical persecution. The latter is most probable. Mrs. Ralph is Sutherland’s sister, and upon a charge of perjury is, like her husband, under $0,000 bail to the District Court, the ‘same persons being upon her bonds. Through a kindness she was not kept from her home when the bonds were réleased, but was per- mitted to remain there under charge of a deputy appointed by Constable Grant. ‘The Ralph -residence at South Englewood is known as “The Old Homestead,” and there last night was given a dance and soiree, This was why Ralph was so anxious to get out home. The story from this on is somewhat like the party given by Mrs. Didimus, which- the negro minstrel tells us “could not go on widout de banjo.” Mrs. Scrafield had the banjo, and wouldn’t Jend it, Or, in apaines, terms, she is disliked by all the relatives of the Ralph family except Sutherland, who, the others allege, pays more attention to her than‘his own wife and family. The other relatives would not go to the party if Mrs, Scrafield was allowed there, and so Mr. Ralph was compelled to request her not to expect an invitation to the dance. This was decidedly cool to a lady who vas upon liis bond, as well as his wife’sbond, for such an amount, and Scrafield got righteous- Jy indignant. She waited until the appointed day, and then set up a scheme calculated to and she suc- ceeded too, at least as far as Ralph himself is concerned. At last accounts Constable Grant was still at the Armory trying to devise ways and means for recovering possession of his charge. AN ABSCONDER ARRESTED. Matthew H. Escot, the absconding Secre- tary and Treasurer of the Canada Invest- ment and Agency Company, of Montreal, was arrested in this city yesterday, not with aview to his extradition, but on a capias issued out of the Circuit Court in an action for debt. Deputy-Sheriff Stacey got him at the Palmer House, where he has been fora week, in the custody of a detective. It seems that the officers of the Com- pany had been endeavoring to compromise with him on the basis of Jess than half of his stealing’ cash down, he to pay the balance when able, they agreeing not to follow or cause him trouble. Escot took in the first place $5,000, which he lost. in stock s) uia~- tions, and then $13,000, with which he left Montreal on the Sth of last December. The oflicers thought he: had_ the greate tion of this money with him, claimed to have been robbed of $9,000 while on the cars coming west, and to have spent the remainder. He offered to appeal to his friends to help him out, but this ap- pears not to have been satisfactory, as a tele- ram came from Montreal yesterday to ave him arrested on 2 capias. Suit was accordingly commenced against him. and a capias issued. His bail was fixed at $20,000. As. he could not give the bond, he- was. put .into the County Jail. Escot admits that he took the money, but has no statement-to make. He has a Wife and six children in Montreal, and always stood well until he began gambling in stocks. He has an idea that he will be allowed to return to Montreal under a. safe conduet, to try and arrange with friends to get him out of his trouble. BROCKWAY COMING. A telegram from New York announces that Charles Brockway. the forger, who has recently been set at liberty there, will be brought on to this city. Detective W. A. Pinkerton, of the agency which has charge of the cases against Brockway, both here and in New York, and by whom the arrests were made, states that deceive the dancing party. Brockway is being brought back to prove false statements made some time that he would never be brought to trial, and also to appear as 0 witness against other members of the band who Were indicted in the Criminal Court. Attempts were made, it is claimed. to spirit Brockway away from New York, in order to embarass the Pinkerton Agency and Mike McDonald, who is on Brockway’s bond here. Brockway would not listen to it and though he volun- teered to come alone this city, an_ officer was sent to keep him safe from outside in- fluence. THE JUSTICES. Constable A.C. Underwood has been ar- rested for refusing to give up property on a writ of replevin. He is under bonds of $200 to appear before Justice Brayton April 13. Delbert May, a small boy, yesterday caused a warrant to be issued for the arrest of James A. Munger, janitor of the Munger Building, on a charge of assault and battery. This same man was arrested some time ago for beating another boy. He was put under bonds to appear for trial before Justice Brayton. It appears that the five-cent lodging: ‘ing-house at the northwest corner of Clinton and Wash- ington streets was pulled because the pro- prietor, J. W. Lloyd, had frequently refused to accommodate the police, and treated them with contempt, and also because it was cur- rent report that stolen property had been carried ini place as early the _ morning. Lloyd was fined $20 by Justice Walsh for | keeping a disorderly house, and as many of the 108 bummers arrested out of nis placeas © could be received into the House tion were fined various sums. sh cone: The West Lake street police were in- formed that there wasa quantity of tobacco — hidden under a sink in a vacant house at No. 107 North Lincoln street. Officer Wilson was sent to the place, and laid in wait there until ayoung thief named George Keer came to the place after the tobacco. The tobacco was stolen from one of the freight cars on the Alton Railroad, but whether anything else was stolen or not is unknown, as the frelzht train has left town. Keer was held in $500 to the 19th by Justice Walsh. A paragraph in yesterday’s TRIBUsE stated that P. L. Garrity had caused a warrant to be issued for the arrest of Clarence Pomeroy on acharge of larceny of $500. The warrant was returned to Justice Prindiville’s office yesterday with the indorsement,“‘Not foun.” Ir. Garrity and his lawyer, J. MI. Gartside, refuse to state the particulars of the case ‘until the arrest has been made, and hint that the warrant; covers along story. The man Pomeroy gained an unenviable reputation as Deputy Assessor, and was indicted for al- feged irregularities while holding that posi- ion. ARRESTS. »- Emma Hanson and Dolly McDonald, young and very disreputable cyprians, were yesterday arrested by Detectives La Bounty and Costello while they were in the act of pawning a fine gold watch and chain at the shop No. 127 West Madison street. The watch was evidently stolen, and bears upon the outer case the large monugram, “C, B. - R.” An owners wanted for it at the station, Edward O’Donnell, very drunk and disor- derly and quarrelsome, was_arrested at 9 o’clock last evening at the Halsted. Street Opera-House by Officer James Ray. The prisoner resisted violently, and the officer was obliged to use considerable force in get- ting him along. The bystanders interfered, and one young hoodlum held a revolver to the ofticer’s head, and threatened to shoot if he did not let the man go. The officer drew his un and faced the mob, and the fellow who ad threatened tu shoot slunk away with the others. O’Donnell was safely locked up at the station. Charles Wilder, James McConnell, and Louis Gordon were last evening run in by Detectives Shea, Keating. and Kipley upon eneral prine Wilder is a footpad om the “Bl Road,” as the upper end of Blue Island avenue is termed, and was arrested not long ago for robbing Charles Maes, a butcher, of a considerable sum of money. McConnell is like Wilder, a thief ready todo or dare anything. Gordon is better clad, and smarter looking, and from an expression he let drop when on his way to the station, he is thought to b rt hotel thief. ‘This belief was stren: the fact that he had upon his pei ® bune'! of Keys similar to the pass-keys used in ho- els. Al J. Tracy, ploy of Rube Wild, a Clark street gambler, was yesterday arrested by Detective W. A. Pinkerton, charged with the larceny of be- tween $250 and $300 worth of jewelry from Leah Menken, a boarder at the house of May Richardson, of No. 88 Fourth avenue. Miss Menken was seriously ill for some weeks, and ‘Tracy was in the habit of calling frequently to inquire after her health. Upon one of these visits he stwwle afaro-bank dealer in the em the jewelry. ‘The pawn-tickets were found ~ upon him when arrested, and the articles were recovered at a Madison street pawn- shop, where they had_ been pawned for 373. This arrest upon such a charge will doubt- less put Mr. ‘Tracy where he oughtlong since to have been. 5 “ As ye sow so shall ye reap.” That is the new sign over the door of the ‘ Mocking- bird’s Retreat,” a saioon on Adams street just west of the City-Hall, which is presided over by William Whelan. William was troubled by the police a great deal some months ago, and in revenge he do- fied Harrison and his cohorts on election day. All the Wickersham tickets he and his friends could lay hands ‘upon were scattered to the winds, and they worked tooth and nail for the Republican candidate for Alderman. It was not to be expected that Whelan’s saloon, under these circumstances, would be allowed to escape the wrath of the police, and so last evening Detectives Shea, Keating, and Kipley made a descent upon the place, and routed out about a half-dozen sa- vory characters. Only four out of the number were considered worthy of special police attention, and they were locked up at entral Station upon general brine les, ‘Their names. are Patrick Moran, “Cat” Burns, “ Bid” Houlihan, and W. S. O’Brien. The three former are well known in criminal cireles. O’Brien used to work, but has late- ly taken to consorting with bad characters, and with giving benelit dances of a loose characte in order to supply himself with pocket-u.ucy. * a —_—_ RESIGNED HIS OFFICE.
