I have just re- turned from the state of Ohio, where the republican party, of which I am a humble member, met with a most (God save the mark!) disastrous defeat, ‘The truth must be confessed. We needed money and needed ft badly in our state. We need money to carry an election quite as badly as we need offices. I voted in Cincinnati, but I visited several counties, and everywhere I found the men who formerly had been the most enthustastic the most “backward in coming forward” with money. ‘Nearly every one labored under the delusion that Stephen W. Dorsey was treasurer of the Hubbell committee, and either directly or indirectly had the handling of the people's contribution, and his Teutation fs not as white as that of the wife of Cwsur. The Hubbell committee in the west 1s con- sidered as a mere branch of the national repubil- can campaign committee, of which Dorsey ts treasurer and Marshall Jewell chairman. If Dor- sey does not resign, or the committee don’t kick him out at once, other states will follow in the wake of Ohio, CINCINNATUS. ——_—__ ‘THE PoTOMAC ARCHERS.—The result of the arch- ery tournament last week leaves the “Potomac Bow Shooters” on the qué vive as to who shall be champions for the season. ‘The club shoots every Siturday afternoon. The highest score takés the championship for the week. At the close of the season (November ist) the winners of the cham- pionahip most times during the season become Owners of the champions’ trophies. These tro- phies are handsome gold and enamel pins, bearing an archery design. The gentiemen’s trophy was presented to the club dy Engi- neer Frank Maxson, of the navy. The one for the ladies, a duplicate, was offered by the gen- tlemen of the'club. Capt. W. A. Bartlett has won the champtonship ten thmes; L. W. Maxson, seven; T. J. Pickett, five, and'C. I. Randall once. There’ will be three more contests, If Maxson wins every week hereafter he will tle Bartiett.and the tle must be shot uff. Tf Pickett wins one Bart- lett becomes champion. On the two prize meeting days Pickett has made best score. ‘The last meet he was handicapped for the first prize of the day, but not for the champlonship. He lost the prize by reason of hs handicap, which fell to Bartlett. Bartlett accepted the prize, conditional on his failing to win the champlonship. It now becomes a contest of Bartlett and Pickett against Maxson, | for tf Pickett or Bartlett Maxson the prize of last Saturday will passto Pickett. ‘There 1s much sport and the utmost good feeling among the bows over the complication. Mrs. Bartlett stands at the head of the list of lady contestants, having scored eleven victories; Miss Lou Brown counts eight; Mrs. Z. D. Butcher, two; Miss Van Doren, two, and Miss Freelind one.

It was agreed on, however, by all present that both thea- ters would be much’ better circumstanced if they were provided with an alarm box each, whereby n alarm may be turned in without logs of time from leaving the building for some more or less distant signal box. The regulations will go into effect on Monday next. The Commisstoners have given an onler to Chief Cronin to detail two of his Inen, one at Ford's Opera House and one to the National ‘Theater, to. be present at the per- formances, to work the appliances for the extinguishment of fire should any occur at those places.

Y., police that there afe agreat many new spurious silver dollars in cl culation. There are evidences that the city of Buffalo or some neighboring vil- lage is the headquarters of a skillful gang of counterfeiters, who are flooding the state with bogus coin. The discovery was accidentally made of a base metal dollar, which is evenly covered with twenty or thirty cents’ worth of pure stlver. ‘The coin is apparently perfect tn size and weight and has a natural ping.

Gray, formerly a Treasury clerk here and the son of Rev. Dr. Gray, once a leading Baptist minister of this city, and at one time chaplain of the U.S. Senate: “William Edgar Gray, who has figured somewhat in the criminal records of this city, was yesterday ar- raigned in the Tombs court on the charge of re- ceiving money under false representations. The complainant, Franz Schurer, ot No. 260 west 29th street, made affidavit that on the 5th of last month he went to Gray’s office, No. 16 Exchange place, in answer toan advertisement for an accountant. Gray requested him to give him $200 as security for the falthful discharge of his duties, He gave Gray the money tn order to secure employment, understaniling that he was to receive $1,50) a year and that the #200 was to be refunded. He re- mained in Gray’s offive for one month. Gray gave him $30. ‘The next day Schurer demanded the re- turn of his $200, but Wray refused to return the amount, saying that he had used {tin stocks. Gray Was represented by coungel, and after a conference with the complainant Gyiy promised to return Schurer the #200 and Schurer gave a written acknowledgment and withdsew the complaint. Gray was then discharged. Gray spent over two years In the Tombs prison while hts case was belnj argued in the courts. In May, 1879, he was foun guilty of forgery and was sentenced to state prison for a term of ten years. He had been arrested by Detective (now Captain) Kealy, who went to Europe for that purpose. In 168 Gray had ratsed and passed forged bonds to the amount of $800,000. He was granted a stay of proceedings and was subsequently bailed out. Why he has never been tried since 1s not clearly established. He was re- leased from the Tombs prison April 26, 1881. While in the Tombs he lived in style, his friends supplying his every want and fixing his cell up so that ft resembled a cosy room. A few months after hls relense he appeared as the organizer of a United Globe Electric Light company. He ot a number Of prominent men to join them in the enterprise without their knowing the person with whom they had associated themselves. The scheme was ex- posed later on, and since that time Gray has been advertising different schemes in the papers. One Of the latest of these was the one into which Schurer was drawn, Le News Sricts. The grand Jury at Hunter's Point, before whom the cases against the gamblers were brought yes- terday, indicted the mayor, H. 8.

Special Correspondence of Taz Evextso Star. New Yorx, October 13. The arrest of Anthony Comstock was one of the Sensations of the week. He was engaged at the Ume ta making a raid on the pool-seilers in Long | Thomas Hardy, but tt is not iden Island City. The expedition was conducted In his characteristic manner. Several coaches were filled with detectives and driven to a cemetery, as if to a funeral, and then by a flank movement the gamblers were taken by surprise. But this bril- lant coup detat had a ludicrous ending, the leader himself being dragged off before a magistrate. He had the power of the supreme court, but a policeman refused to recognize it. This gave rise to the complications. The classes against whom Mr. Comstock directs his attacks in behalf of the society for the prevention of crime regard him with the most intense hatred. At the meetings of the Philosopher's Club, where free love is openly advocated, his name is the signal for jeers and hisses, Some years ago he was successful in a venting some of the leading members of the club from sending obscene literature through the mails. Many who are in sympathy with the movement t general criticise his methods, which are based on the theory that the end justifies the means. He catches men who are ens in un- lawful pursuits as an angler does fish. He throws out a bait. One of his men will buy lottery tickets or policy a and then arrest the dealer. To these men Mr. Comstock is a snake in the grass. His reply to his critics is that there is no other way to bag the game. HOWARD CARROLL'S NOMINATION. ‘The selection of Howard Carroll, the journalist, of the Times, asa republican candidate for Con- gressman-at-large, is grasping ata straw. It is too much to expect a straw to float such an im- mense machine as the republican party of New York. Carroll probably thinks that he has some chance of election; everybody else thinks he has not, and they wonder at his wildly-expressed ratification over his nomination. ‘There hi ern a stampede among the managers of the re- publican party here. = To-night, as I passed the Fifth Avenue hotel, I’ stopped for a moment to speak with one of the strongest leaders of the republican party. His name 1s | ‘Mike Cregan, and he is a man of more importance in city politics, and alsoin controlling the state elections, than other leading republicans ever were in their most influential days. He is a small man, thick set, with little, black, twinkling eyes, closely clipped mustache, abd a huge, long jaw. He talks ina very low voice, and constantly acts as though he was nervous. “It is impossible for him to make a speech at dinner or address a meeting, but his influence is enormous. He has lived in his ward all his lit and made it his duty from the time he entered litics, when he was nineteen years old, until e present day, to study the political situation of his district. His knowledge gradually spread, and he worked harder year after year, until he came to have what is almost unknown ha city of the size of New York—a thorough and accurate per- sonal knowledge of every voter in his district. He can go from one end of the east side of town to the other and point out exactly how the voting will go. His influence is mysterious. No one ever understands how it 18 that he can change the vote of a large assembly dis- trict from strong democratic to a clean republican majority when his party is in a condition that im- peratively demands It. But he does this, and has lone it for years, and never yet has been accused of bribery by any substantial witness, though there were some unpleasant rumors in 1876 about the false registration of voters over whose destiny he presides. When I mev him in front of the hotel he was very much cast down, but thought the ublicans had a chance et. He said he would fight for all was worth, which is a — stereotyped expression of his, and belleved that if a strong ef- fort was made all along the line the elections might be carried in November. Ido not suppose he Delleves this, but he spoke very éarnestly. It was remarkable to observe the distinction with which the little man wds treated as he walked along. Men pointed him out to each other, and respectfully made way for him as he passed along. Hands were put out on all sides to be shaken, and more than one city politician of standing touched his hat and waved his hand as the nervous and decidedly common looking little “worker” passed along, with his head down and his hands in_ his trousers pockets. ‘These men are ignored in times of prosperity and after a political triumph has been achieved, but at @ juncture like this, when the party 1s ‘on the brink of defeat, and the great leaders do not know which way to turn, they cling to such lowly, but solid supports as Johnny O'Brien, Barney Biglin, Sol Smith and Mike Cregan. But to return to the Congressman-at-large. Carroll was nomina- ted “after fourteen refusals by prominent republicans. ‘This certainly robs the nomination of whatever honor it might be supposed to con- vey, and reduces the chances for election to nothing. Carroll’s appearance in the political arena 1s due to his having married a year or so ago the daughter of John H. Starin, now in the House of Representatives. Starin is worth about fitteen million, 1s influential, and it is this which has put Carroll on the ticket.’ Ina race with such a tried soldier, experienced politician, and admir- able lawyer as Gen. Slocum, poor Carroll will be lost in a cloud of dust before he has fairly started. It is a pity that his chances are not better, for he 4s one of the best fellows in the world. FASHIONS IN DIAMONDS. The present departure from old styles 1s also being carried into diamonds and other personal ornaments. White diamonds will not be ignored, but those which are tinted will be more fashion- able. Where there 1s a cluster, various colors are combined. Lace pins are made by placing four or five of a different tint ina row. Society leaders, who are famous for their diamonds, are buying other precious stones, such as the ruby, the sap- phire and the emerald, which usually form a part of curious —_ combinations. ~— Pearls Will be very much in vogue this win- ter, and will, be worn as ear-rings and necklaces, made of two and three strands of pearl beads. But artistie ideas are more particu- arly embodied in hair ornaments and pins for holding flowers in place on the corsage, It is, 1n fact, the proper thing now fora lady to go toa Jewéler and have her own conceptions werked out, Flower pins are made of a large number of small diamonds attached to leaves of frosted silver. ‘The effect sbrilltant. Various curious ornaments have been designed to pin on the corsage or shoulder. Some of the ornaments for the hair consists of huge spiders, scorpions and other insects made of ‘old in imitation of different metals and set with lamonds and other gems. ‘The, man of fashion will not make a great display of jewelry this sea- son. He will wear a cat’s eye, encircled with dia- monds, on his capacious shirt bosom and curiously shay rings on his fingers. Some of the swells will wear star sapphires or star rubles for shirt pins. MRS. LANGTRY AGAIN. Thad a chat with Manager Abbey yesterday. He was in a high state of excitement over the com- ments of the London press on Mrs. Langtry’s ap- pearance as Rosalind. This was remarkable, as Mr. Abbey usually has wonderful self control. He is almost stony. “Do you think Mrs. Langtry Will meet with success in this country?” I in- juire qr Tunderstand the American people, she wilL She is not only a beautiful woman, but she has a charming manner that is sure to win friends.

HENRY WARD BEECHER did not make much of a sensation the other day | by withdrawing from the Congregational assocla- tion, of which he wasa member. Since the big Scandal his old power of startling the world seems tobe gone. Whatts surprising about his creed, as he related it, 1s that it approacues so close to the Tegular orthodox line. Most people were under the impression that he had lttle belief left, but according to bis profession of faith he believes a Great deal. The discovery had such an effect on the Congregational brethren present that they put their arms around him and begged him not to go. ‘This action wilt not affect Mr. her’s career as | @ preacher in any measure. He will preach | Beecherism every Sunday, and be adored by the Women of his congregation as a demi-god. He Will endeavor to create a sensation Whenever an opportunity offers. A REVOLUTION IN CARPETS. The present craze for house decoration has made arevolution in carpets. The purchase of a carpet 1s not the simple thing it was a few years ago. When a floor in a first-class house ts to be covered, an artist goes to the apartment and makes a study of the decorations of the celling and walls. A note is taken of the design and colors of the win- dow curtains and of the coverings of the fur- | niture, Various carpets are then matched, untll “a suitable combination of colors and apleasing desicn is found. The carpet is finally woven in Europe from a water color dra Kor parlors, carpets woven Ina singie plece are used altogether. The centers are plain or figured and the borders are rich and ornamental. In libraries and drawing rooms rugs are used. These are square or oblong and ieave a bire space at the walls. In some houses a floor is covered with several small rugs placed together. A well-ap- polnted house is not complete wituout on» or two. prayer rugs. They are not used for devotional urposes, but it’s a whim of fashion to have them | ying around in the Ibrary or drawing room. ‘There is a picture of a mosque or siirine at one end of these rugs and mysterions looking orfental hyeroglyphics. An old mat that has lain In a mosque and had hundreds of knees is very much prized. Beer skins, and the skins of the ter, Wolf, and other animals are vers much In favor Just now, especially with retired old gentlemen in affluent circumstances. An artistic teniency 1s also seen in carpets of low grades, many of which are woven in one plece with borders of elaborate designs. Even mattings are made so ornamental that they may be fastened to the wall fora dado. MADAME GEISTINGER, the great German actress, is creating a genuine sensation. My attention was particularly called to her last night when I was passing along 14th street about half past seven o'clock. I was struck by the vast throng of people sweeping around the corner of Broadway. They were a happy looking lot, and all chatting in the most animated way. ‘There were fat old German fathers and mothers, looking immensely uncomfortable In their best clothes, but grinning with anticipatory eagerness; slim, light-haired and round- shouldered Germdn boys and young men, man} of ae With ideal student, faces, moved awic wardly along, looking intensely nappy; rouni faced, round shouldered, and round bodied Ger- man girls, with their faces shining with excite- ment, and their arms swinging wildly, rushed along gigglingly, and sober married folk’ bearing the tndescrivable’ air of enjoying “my day out,” strode cheeriully by. I followed the great crowd, and found that it went {nto the Germania Thea- ter. I followed, and got probably the only vacant seat in the house for seventy-five cents—an im- provement on the two dollar charges of the other theaters. Gelstinger appeared in Von Suppé’s tuneful, sparkling and always charming operetia, “Boccaccio.” Her acting was superb, and hersing- ing, of course, tnimattable; but I must say that we success of the evening was due tn a large measure to the lively, sy lic and cordial Indorsement and applause o: audience. Tnever saw an actress in such perfect harmony with her house. Col. Slayback Killed by Mr. John A. Cockrell. THE FATAL ALTERCATION IN THE EDITORIAL ROOMS OF THE ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. CoL.John A.Cockrell, editor of the St. Louls Post- Dispatch, yesterday afternoon shot and killed Col. A. W. Slyback, a prominent attorney and demo- cratic politician of that elty, who had gone to the office to seek satisfaction fora publication per- sonal to himself. Mr. Slayback was accompanied by Judge W. H. Clopton, and as soon as they en- tered the room where Mr. Cockrell wasn conver- sation with McGufin, the business and Cole, the foreman, hot words were ¢ and in afew moment. ton’s statement, Cock of Mr. Slayback’ by drawing a its bullet’ through Slayb: occurred in three =m! y 4s that when Slayback entered the room he saw a is lying on c reli’: desk and asked: “Is that revolver for me?” Cox Tell replied, “It is for you Whenever you want It. At this Slayback covered Cockrell with a pistol, but before he could pull the trigger McGuMia Jumped forward and grabbed the Weapon, and at Uhat instant Cockrell fired. Moore, the city editor, Says that he saw that Slayback, when he d through his room an® was entering Cockrell’s room, had his hand 4n his pistol pocket. These statements are dented, and it 1s maintained that Slayback had no pistol. After the shooting Cockrell bent down and wiped the blood from his Opponent’s mouth and then sent for a doctor, He then washed his hands, and with McGufin, drove off in a carriage. At 12 ock last night he drove tothe Four Courts and surrendered himself, ‘The trouble which terminated so tragically orig- {nated in the fact that at a political mecting Thursday evening Col. Slayback made a bitter on- slaught on the Post-Dispatch and its reporters, to which the paper responded last evening by uncom- manager, changed, coording to Judge Clop- nied the lunguage sstol and sending ‘8 heart. Death Cole's story ered references to Col. Slayback, which ren- ered him so indignant that he visited the office to demand satistaction. THE FOLLOWING 18 THE ARTICLE which appeared in the Post-Dispatch: “Mr. Alwnz0 W. Slayback, an individual whose chief claim to distinction rests upon the fact that he is the law partner of Col. James O. Brodhead, rose in a meet ing of democratic ward politicians in this city last night, and, without personal provocation, Proceeded to apply a string of vile and virulent epithets to the Post-Dispatch and its conductors, making charges which he knew to be false. This is the same A. W. Slayback of and conceraing whom the following card was written and pub- lished In this city by John M. Glover on the 1th day of November, 1881. Mr. Glover recently ran ag ademocratic candidate for Congress in the 9th Gistrict, and received a hearty endorsement from the democratic voters of character.
