Four years after- wards the family returned to Gérmany and became domiciled in Wiesbaden, where they have since all continuously resided. Nassau, in which Wiesbaden ts situated, became in- ted into the North German confede- ratlon im 1866. "The son is now twenty years ofage. and the German government has called upon bim to report for military duty, where- upon the father invokes the intervention of - | the United States legat ground tion at Berlin on the that his son is a native-born Ameri- eu. The father, however, on beii ques- tioned, refused to say whether it was his in- tention to return America.

FIRST CLASS AMERICAN RUINS. Harper's Ferry shows as yet little recovery from the ravages of the war, and presents the anomaly on American soil of first class “ruins,” that element of the picturesque Ceemed so essential to the sentiment of the landscape in old world travel. The Hudson river with its bold banks, has concededly as striking scenery as the Rhine, but then the Rhine has ruined castles and that sort of thing, while the Hudson has’nt a ruin to show for itself. The Potomac and the Shenandoah have bold scenery and ruins, so long as Harper's Ferry remains in its present dismantied condition, and the marks of Sheridan’s raid up the Valley continue to sid out in the shape of ruined mills, barns, Se. Judging by remarks of the inhabitants tthe Valley this element of the picturesque S Lot appreciated there. The Americans are a progressive people and do not dote ruins. It is understood that Representa- ulkoer will next session undertake ve the government armory and work- shops restored to Harper’s Ferry and that President Garrett will co-operate on that ' it is doubtful, however, if the perma- prosperity of the place would not be rsccured by the utilization of this un- valled water-power by private enterprise the running of four mills, cotton mills. UP THE VALLEY. At Harper's Ferry Col. J. H. Averill, su- perintendent of trains of the Harper's Fert and Valley road, joined us by invitation of Major Koontz, and proved a most intelligent cicerone to the points of interest in the Va ley along which we were speeding. At Win- chester he took us to the roof of the building occupied as headquarters by Gen. Jo. John- son. From this commanding potnt a long stretch of the fertile valley, with the spark- ling Shenandoah meandering through it, was to be seen, while to the south was the appropriately named Blue Ridge; further up the Valley was that long, curious mountain ridge, so regular and sharp cut in its out- lines, known as Massanutten Mountain, and which divides the Luray Valley Sees which Jackson emerged to flank Banks in 1362) from. the Shenandoah Valley or the Valley of Vir- ginia. On the other side was the great North Mountain. Below us was spread the ram- biing ei) ff Winchester, with its long, ir- regular Main street, up which Jackson and Banks had their race, with Banks *a leetle ahead.” Then over to the right was turnpike up which Phil. Sheridan rode his famous twenty miles, and beyond was Ashby’s Gap, through which Johnson slipped to the beguilement of the simple Patterson, and went down to Manassas to the aid of Beauregard. Winchester, like many other places, has found it a disadvantage to have a railroad, It was very well for Winchester while the railroad extended no furjher up the Valley, but now that it has been carried to Harri- sonburg, the trade that used to linger theré is carried past. Yet Winchester is the cen- ter of a large flouring busine: There is a large steam flour mill capable of turnin out 20 barrels of flour every 24 hours; and within a radius of eight miles from Winches- ter there are fifteen mills. Everybody knows, ofcourse, that the Valley is famous for its Wheat, and it was therefore a matter of sur- prise to be told that the corn crop here last year exceeded the wheat crop. The orchards Of the Valley are also getting notable. Last year it sent out 50,000 barrels of apples of su- perior quality. But our first view of the Valley did not con- firm what we had heard of its wonderful fer- ulity. The wheat looked thin; the corn back- ward and of unequal growth; the grass pinched; and whole fields were infested by the blue thistle, and all this in Jefferson county, that used to rank as the banner wheat county of the state. But for the last seven years Jefferson affec! b; e ion of the Val and this lime- stone Rad does not Seah eees ith wel (tts le, however, that the thrifty gra: probab! f the upper Valley, who are largely of man descent, and who work in the elds y of ber ana county. feat deld of constantly improving fasiity wheat fie provin, ual presents its golden tint, and by the time we reach Harrisonburg it would seem that we ae en ee eee to fill the granaries of At Harrisonburg, @ thrifty, busy-looking lace in the midst of a fine ‘tural dis- ict, we were received by sunniest of hosts, M: C..

It turned out that the blooded horses exotic luxuries of the season. A good deal might be said of the enjoyments and sports of the succeeding three days and nights, but the history thereof has already been told by adozen bright pens. In brief whether from the exhilerating mountain air, the invigor- ating qualities of the iron water, or the ex- cellence of the fare, certainly everybody was in the best of spirits, and the enjoyment of the trip from the start to the moment of feparation on the return was supreme and universal. For one thing, the excursion served to bring together in pleasant rela- tions @ large number of the young members of t journalistic profession, and to show that there is not only quite an excep- tonal amount of bright talents in the new crop, but that they have also a fund of good temper and a gentlemanly courtesy that gives assurance that they will be always ready to maintain a proper esprit du For Rawley Springs and of the Virgi mountain resorts generally, it may be s that they proba present to Washi jans the kind ange of air neede this season. As our air is moist, we need to go to the mountains for a thinner and less humid atmosphere, by way of change. FISH MURDER. It has been stated above that trout were plentiful upon the table at Rawley. Tne enjoyment of this luxury would be greater if the means by which it was secured were less exceptionable. The mountains about Raw- Jey abound trout streams, and the fishing ought to be a great attraction to the place, but every angler visiting here is surprised and disgusted to find that, in the utter absence of any laws for the protection of trout in Virginia, they are raided upon in all these mountain streams by a set of fish pirates, who, greedy for gain, butcher them night and day with spears, (or “gigs,” as they call them here.) snares, seines, &c., until the persecuted fish are frightened out of all spirit for biting; and if the work of butchery goes on at the present rate the trout streams Will speedily be depleted. Asa present rem- edy, the mountain hotels should refuse peremptorily to buy any trout not caught by the hook, and one the assembling of the next legislature of Virginia a stringent law should be passed for the protection of trout against the butchers. The state of Maine, the home of the brook trout, has found it necessary to adopt such legislation, and now the only Kind of fishing allowed for trout in that state is with the fly or the single-baited hook: all gang fishing, spoon fishing, snaring, spearing, seine hauling and other modes of trout-murder being prohibited. There is also @ close season for trout by law in Maine from the Ist of October to the ist of Mare, cover- ing their spawning time; and fishing through the ice in the winter is now prohibited. Let the state of Virginia pass sucha law, and the summer attractions of her mountain re- sorts will be increased ten-fold. THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING. It was pleasant to note in this trip the dis- Position on all sides todrop the animosities of the war; and this was the more noticeable from the fact that the people of the Valley have so much reason to reme%nber the war with some bitterness, with their ruined mills and barns yet before them as reminders. Judge Harris, representative in Congress from the Harrisonburg district, who break- fasted the party in handsome style at that place, took occasion to express in very hearty terms the appreciation by the south- ern people of the generous welcome given to the southerners at Boston recently, and said that while the people of the south were not Wealthy enongh to vie with the solid men of Boston in the way of magnificent hospitali- Ues, they did not want the will Ag hangers to the utmost all these manifestations of | brotherly feeling. ———_<0e -__ TELEGRAPHIC RATES ON GOVERNMENT DISPATCHES.—In compliance with the re- quest of Postmaster General Jewell tora conference with the presidents of the princi- pal telegraph companies in the United States relative to a reduction in the rates = for government dispatches, Presidents ‘m. Orton and C.C. Blossom, of the Wes- tern Union, and Southern and Atlantic lines. respectively, and Kennedy Duff, manager of ‘ton office of the Franklin divi- sion, met Goy. Jewell at the Post Office de partment at 11 o'clock to-day. There were present on behalf of the government besides ihé Postmaster General, Mr. Marshall, First Assistant Fosimaster General; Judge T. A. Spence, Assistant Attorney General for the Post Office department, and Colonel Kuowl- ton, chief clerk of the same department. Mr. Orton acted as the principal spokesman for the telegraph companies, and protested against any reduction of rates, He claimed that during five years past the Western Union was the only company which has made any money over and above expenses. No other line had been able to pay ex- penses. It would not be just or right to make a still further reduction, when expe- rience had conclusively demonstrated that | three or fourdays of the early part of the t the price is already too low to be even mod- erately profitable.

W Beecher and Mrs. Tilton, at the residence of the latter, in the year 1509, was arrested last night on a warrant based ona complaint made by Col.

Price;his accomplice Price appeared as a witness against him, maxing affidavit that he did not know Loeder previous to 1572, and Knew nothing about Tilton’s house until recently. He sa! Loeder told him that now would be a_ gor time to make some money. Judge Morris or eared for Loeder and Messrs. Tracy and Hill for the complainant. Judge Riley or- dered both Loeder and Price to be locked up for examination. The Tribune's Account of it. The Tribune says Beecher's counsel ex- ploded the story told and sworn to by Loeder and Price in the manner described in the following narrative: Frank E. I . Budington, and both he and his wife have been fora long time bitterly op to Beecher. For about two years they e employed upon their uphol- &tery work Joseph Loeder, who carrie| on business at No. Fulton avenue. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dana were in the habit of talk ing so ireely on the subject of the scandal! tat their views were well Known to Lowder. and when he came to the conclusion th the time had come for him to speak, he took advantage of some remark which Mrs. Dana had made to him about the witness Kate Carey to say mysteriously that he knew a great deal more about the Beecher seandal than Kate Carey or anybody else. Mrs. Dana told her husband when he re- turned home that day, which was the day before the evidence elosed in the trial. The next morning Mr. Dana, who had not been retained as counsel for the plaintiff, but who had volunteered to serve in the cause for called at Loeder's store and nestioned hi to the meaning of what he had said to wisfwite. Then Leder told him subst. tially the story whict. appeared in the New York Herald of June 14. Mr. Dana hastened to inform Mr. Morris of these facts, and gave him the information before the evidence was actually closed in the ease. There was then an interval of five aays before the summing up began, but NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT THIS TESTI- MONY until after Judge Porter had begnn his ad- dress, when a paragraph intimating the sub- stance of this story was published Brooklyn Sunday paper, on May 39. Nothing was ever said about it by counsel in court till June i, WHO IS LoEDER?

In 1868 he failed under discreditable circum- stances and went th: bankruptcy. From 1368 until the fall of Ixv0 he was practically t of business, and at the time it he pre- to have worked in Mr, Tilton’s house he did not reside in either the city of New York or Brooklyn, and did either.
