A NEGRO FikE Bue CauGHt—Oonfessing his Guilt vitha Rope Around his Neck.—A telegiam frm Middletown, N.Y, Augus? 27, ys: Ira West, colored, was arrested last night at Howell's, after having fired the farm house of Gilbert H. Corwin, for whom he worked. The fire was extinguished. Moss, saturated with kerosene, was found in the milk can iids. West was discovered on the prem ises with some moss in his pocket simiiar to some that was kept in the garret of the house. He was taken to the barn by the indignant ueighbors and a rope was placed around his neck, when he confessed that he had fired the house and also the barn of Corwin, and also the barns of Andrew [. Bertholf at Howell’s last week. He implicated two other colored men, one of whom was arrested. On exami- nation this morning, West again confessed to the charge of arson in the first degree before the grand jury. He was held without bailand cmunitted tothe Geshen jail. He retracted the statement about the complicity of others, and the negro who had been arrested was discharged. The other colered man has not been in town forweeks.

He has traveiled through Great Britain, Germany, and France, and predicts a small oe yes during the coming year. Indian troubles have given Oregon and Idaho a bad reputation, while the iabor difficulties have caused a widespread belief that this country is overdow ing with laborers. He says the Ger man authorities are particularly active in preventing emigration. Mr. THEODORE THomas has formally accept- ed the position of manager of the Cincinnati College of Music, recen ly tendered him by letter, and marked out a plan of organization. It is stated that he 1s to receive $5,000 per year, with a five years’ engagement. New York is somewhat disturbed about losing Mr. Thom. as’s musical services.

TESTIMONY OF JOHN ROACH, THE SHIP BUILDER. The pane ipal witness before the Congres- slonal Taber, investixating coinmittee iu New York yesterday was Mr. Joho Roach, the weil- Known ship builder. He said ‘hat he appeared as a Workirgman Wlohad labored at one time for $1.60 per day from sunrise to sunset. He had watched the progress of machivery, and he had found that the workingman nad been benefited. After he had labored for fifteen Pears at #1.60 per day. he had saved enouzh to | in for himself ona very smallcapiial. At that time woikmen were saving, but the war had taught. them extravagaies. When the wages rose from +1 60 to $4 and #5 per day the workingmen i: duized in Juxuries that they could not afford. Mr. Roach asked w!e her it would be wise to destroy the agricucural iene and thus aliow Russia to compeie with the U:ited Staes in her products of cereals, to te disadvantage of this country? When Eng and found thit se could not feed her pecple from her own lands she removed her corn law> aad gave her peo- ple cheap breads. When she found that she could build ships as chesply as any other country in the world she removed her naviza- tion la Mr. Roach then spoke about ship- building, and said that wooden ship could de built now in this country at from $27 to $40 per ton, fully equipped. After the revoluionary war the country was a wilderness, and with- out capital. The wise men of the time founded the navigation laws. Ships were greatly needed and bo capital to purchase them, ship ca: pentess were paid WA f labor, and so on, But it developed the ship- building, and by 1812 America produced ves- sels that taught England a lesson which sha has not forgotten. Afier 1812, up to the rebel. lion, #17,(00,000 were brought into the country for ships built in this country, ships the most rapid and best built in the world. On this island fifteen thousand men were ein- plcyed in building ships up to the war of the rebel To-day only one shipyard exis's on this iard, where numerous aud tlourishiug estublis] ments had s‘ocd before the rebellion. He thought one of the worst sights lise wn sheps, Where a million doila cLinery is lying idleand workmen unemployed becaus shops were idle. He recited the «fees of the war, in the withdraw: from ac’ive pursuits and rise in wages and everything consumed. He also referred to the era of railroad speculation, the rapul de- ve'opmentof miving and manufacture uader this speculation, its sudden stoppage under the panic and the disiress which followed in the mining districts and the iron works. H> then referred to three great branches of trade, agriculture, manufactures and commerce, and showed that with the introduction of ma- chinery in working farms the wo’kman had been benefitted, and was able to earn more wages. Secretary Sherman on the Good Times Coming. IS SPEECH TO THE CINCINNATI MERCHANTS. Before the chamber of commerce in Cincin- Dati. yesterday, Secretary Sherman made a speech to the merchants He said:—‘I have 4 great deal to do with merchants, and I take this oppor tunity to congratulate you that, by the bounty of Divine Providence,you will have to market the largest crop this year that we have ever gathered ~ince the world was boro in this count The ae point of an unpleas- ant nature affectii g the fndustrial interests i3 the niisfortune which has befallen a large por- tion of the south, where yellow fever has spread a pall of distress among our southern brethren. I can congratulate you also that our currency is soon to be upon the solid money of the world.

I take a hopeful view of our business affairs, Aster this week there will be an end of bank- ruptcies. All men who believe ‘hat they are not in a condition to Bay, their debts will have akcn ‘he benefit cf the law provided for their relief.

Two Missing CHILDREN—Abduction of a Philadelphia Boy and a New York Girl— Sergeant Kealy received information yester- ay conceriing the supposed abduction of a Fhiledelphia lad named Alexander Squires. The boy is about 13 years of age, and aan s pled inbeth feet. Despite his deformity he is Said to possess an unusual degree of beanty. He has fair complexion, Diue eyes, full round face, and curly yellow hair. He is very pre- cocious and sings well. His disappearance from his home last week caused much anxie- ty, as his inability to walk had always pre- ven‘ed him from wancering about the streets. The boy's parents afterwards learned that two. men had been noticed hanging about thestreet where he lived and acting in a suspicious man- ner. Once or twice they had n noticed conversing with the boy. It is supposed that the men have stolen the boy and are keeping him in their possession to make him earn money by singing. The police of this vd are asked to detain the lad and his cap‘ors if they muke their appearance here, and to send in- formation to Carlin & Gukens, at No. 502 Lo- oe = Philadelphia. rs.

A YELLOW Fever INcIDENT.—The New Or- leans Picayune prints the following in its issue of Friday: “On Wednesday oes, last the elevei wy arold son of a prominen' officer of the Washington Artillery informed his father that he had abandoned a pet scheme that had been working In his mind. He thought that there were too many poor people suffering from yellow fever. He therefore re- ested his father to hand in his purse, con- sl aod of $5.50, to the Howard Association, that it might be applied for the benefit of the r. The father complied with this generous impulse on the part of his boy, and handed in the money to the association. In theevening, to his great eer when he returned home he found that his son had been taken with the fever; but later the boy showed evidence of improvement, and there were no grounds for apprehension.” THRIFT IN CHICAGO.—A Chicago paper says: The proposition to charge an admission fee to visitors to the jail—that is, such as come there as they would goto a menagerie—meets the approbation of Sheriff Kern. He thinks Mrs. arris’ services in procuring and attending to the jail library ought to ber in some way, and that perhaps no better way could be devised than that Se At the peut- tentiary an admission fee of 25 centsis charged each visitor, who is compelled to register his name in a book kept fur that purpose, and the revepue derived su-tains a good library.

Some of the opposition say that if the ,eport with reference tothis Alexandria work reccemmended by the commi'tee is adopted by the convention, Uiat there will be a boit. If there fs, there will be music in the air: but there seems to be no solid foundation for an- Uecipating a split although it is not impossible. THE BONE OF CONTENTION With the committee on credentials at present is to dispose of the rival claims of the Orange ccunty delega‘ion. It seems that this couuty has sent two sets of delegates, each siouth asserting that it is composed of the only legal- ly el(cted delegates. “Since this moruing’s adjournment the committee on credentials have beeu trying to patch up a truce with both delegations, to get one set agreeable to both sides. The promise is not flattering that when the convention re-assembles at 2 o'clock ee canesilials committee will be able to re- port. HUNTON'S FRIENDS CLAIM CONFIDENTLY Dow that he will be nominated without much trouble. | The opposition against him does not seem to be well organized. Neale, his strong- est opponent, does not seem to have the ghost of a show of reectving the nomination, but his supporters stick to him. Ifa crusade with a gcod leader could be orga: ized with the un derstanding that Neale was to be dropped, and the be:t man piessed, on the principle of anything to beat Hunton, the favorite might he left. Thee are enough elements of oppo- sition to beat Hunton if managed well, and corcertrated at the right time; but the trou- bie wi h them is that those whd oppose Hun- ten have failed to unite on the proper dark horse toride over him. There be too many eligible Virgirians loafing abont here who claim they can lay Hunton flat if their friends ve only boost their names before the conven- in.
