WASHINGTON. RETURN OF REVERDY JOHNSON. Another Phase of the Negro Labor Question. AStrike Ordered Among the Brick- layers in the Navy Yard. WASHINGTON, June 4, 1869, Return of Reverdy Johnson. Reverdy Johnson arrived at Baltimore to day on the steamer Ohio from his unfortunate mission to England. His famity accompanied him. Reverdy fpparently does not look any the worse for his Eng- Mish dinners or his doubtful diplomacy, and will Probably live to enjoy the comments of the American press, though not so heartliy, perhaps, as he did the speechmaking in England. I have not heard anything lately of that fine old English dinner that B party of old fogies thought of giving him some time ago. ‘The Indian Troubles—Fatal Consequences of a Mistake, A gentleman just from the Indian country attri- butes the late Indian outrages in the neighborhood of Fort Hays to the removal of the Indian prisoners taken on the Washita and kept at Camp Supply dur- ing the winter, and removed during the early spring to Fort Hays, in Kansas, 300 miles from the place of capture, om the old Smoky Hill route, the scene of ali the Indian difficulties during the last four years. ‘The removal of these Indian prisoners induced their fiends to follow with the hope of rescuing them, nd hence the late massacres of whites in that vicinity. It wili be remembered it was at this place ‘where the recent mutiny occurred, and resulted in the ceatN of three prisoners and the wounding of a umber of United States soldiers. This fracas was brought about by the ofMicer mistaking an indivi- @ual in camp for Butch bill, who was then and now in Washington. Alabama Senators Quarreling Over the Spoils. The two Alabama Senators have had a slight un- Pleasantness about the loaves and fishes in their State. Spencer was after the coillectorship of Mobile for a particular friend, and Warner had an eye to the tdentical position for @ political retainer. The Consequence was a dead lock. Grant knew not what to do, and Boutwell and Delano were bothered which of the two Senatorial magnates should be ap- a. Atlength, itis said, the difficulty was ad- justed by an agreement that Warner should get the collectorship, while Spencer should be accorded the itmastership of Mobile. The first part of the agreement was promptly put in force and Warner’s friend appointed; but when it came to ar- Tanging the postmastership a hitch occurred. ‘Warner ciaimed that post also, and Creswell, it is _ said, yielded td his demands; thereupon Spencer went tothe White House to raise a row about the alleged pyeach of agreement. He had a talk with Grant, and it is said, hauled Ulysses over the coals warmly. He next went to the Post OMce De- partment and pitched into the jolly Creswell, the re- Bult being that Creswell consented to give the post- mastership to Spencer instead of Warner. But just this resuit was reached Warner happened to drop and interrupt the interview, and hearing of what had occurred Warner demanded that the appoint- Ment should be changed. Spencer interposed lively objections. Questions and answers of an unpleasant oharacter were exchanged between the Senators, and for a time there appeared a very cheering prospect @row. lt stopped short of blows, however, and Senators have since had a c hance to cool off. The Bricklayers’ Strike Agninst the Employ. ment of Colored Workmen. The Bricklayers’ Union, at a meeting held here last night, advocated the immediate strike of the bricklayers at the Navy Yard unless two colored workmen there employed be dismissed, Some of the members expressed thelr doubts as to the prac- tcability of “bucking” against the government in the matter and throwing them out of work, but the Majority declared against them, holding that they could afford to maintain their position, as not more than ten or a dozen members (all the force at pre- pent employed in the yard) would be affected. The proceedings were secret. It is understood, how- ever, that a resolution to this effect was adopted, Large Receipts of Internal Revenue. During the last two days the internal revenue re- cetpts have been unprecedentediy large. By des- tees received from all parts of the country Mr. De- exo has ascertained that the total receipts on Thurs- day and Friday approached to close on $3,000,000, The currency balance in the Treasury is now about $23,000,000, The Woman Suffrage Question. ‘The National Franchise Association, of which Pro- fessor Wilcox is president, has prepared a circular to be sent to all candidates for municipal offices, to be voted for next Monday, asking them, first, whether, if elected, they will use their influence to on we the women of the District of Columbia; mud, whether they will use their influence to secure women official appointment; and third, whether tney will protect women in the free exer- cise of all honest employments. Destruction of Currency Pintes. In accordance with the orders of Secretary Bout- ‘Well, all the currency clecirotype and stereotype and copper plates were a few days ago melted in the Treasury building furnace. The steel plates could not there be as easily destroyed, and hence they were to-day removed to the Navy Yard for that The committee having the matter in Senator Thayer being at the head of it, bad been employed since Monday last in examining, re- cording and packing the plates, dies, rolls and bed pieces, numbering in all about 2,900, They were ‘ked in forty boxes, weighing 10,000 pounds. h box was securely fasteved with iron bands, and bore three geals euch respective of the i ones and the Register of the Treasury and jay Cooke & Co, The boxes were thrown inw the furnace in the presence of the committee and sev- eral of the officers of the yard. The doors were Closed and the draft turned on, and in less than aa hour these plates, from which had been printed over eight billions of dollars, were melted and soon cooled into solid blocks of steel. Inquiry Into the Alleged Indinn Ontrages. ‘The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has sent a telegram to the Superimtendent of Indian Affairs in Kansas, directing him to report to the Indian OMce the true state of affairs in that locality, and keep the oMce thoroughly posted relative to all Indian depre- ations that may hereafter occur. The only informa- tion regarding Indian outrages that has reached the omMce has been such as could be gleaned from the Dewspapers. INQUEST OVER AN EXHUMED BODY. Coroner Whitehill and jury assembled in the court room of Justice Kames, Williamsburg, last evening to investigate the cause of death of Kdward Doyle, whose body was exhumed on Wednesday last on suspicion of foul play. The first witness ex- amined was Dr. Joseph Creamer, who conductad the post mortem examination. He testified as fol- lows:— Dr. Joseph Creamer, sworn, deposed:—On Wednes- Gay inst examined the body of @ man found avthe corner of Union avenue and North First street; the body was in a state of advanced decomposition, es- pent, the head and face; upon examination of the ip the appearances indicated recent and intense fammatory action, which, [I would suppose, be erysaphaletous inflammation; the membrane Fameeinsest covering the bone upon oe rae , Bhow! fibease ny ing the communication of the it mortem changes; | found fo solution of continuity in the bony siructure; Gpon removing the calvarium the dura mater was in the same condition ag the external envelope of she bone and | uy the pon aide From it structure; - Saga ha Ma luced, in many ti ces, aNd especially upon h % i aries received in that region, sdinctomdrescirans xamined, but é ‘A large number of witnesses were ¢: their testimony oy went to show that the deceased was clubbed in @ lager beer saloon ol residence of Mayor Kalbfeisch, in Bushw' two weeks before his death, lourned anti Tuesday. ing the venue, ‘The inquest was aa: NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1869 AMERICAN JOOREY CLUB. Jerome Park Racce—Opening Day. The regular summer meeting of the American Jockey Club will be inaugurated on the Jerome Park grounds, Fordham, to-day. Should the weather prove favorable the opening day sport will draw a very large and fashionable attendance, There will be five races, including the hurdle and handicap contests, Zigzag, Lobella and Underwood, with others, probably amounting to eight, are expected to come to the post during the exciting events. In the handicap race it ts thought that ten or eleven horses wil start, the following probably being among the number, viz.:—Bayswater, R. B, Con- nolly, Metaire, Dickens, Oysterman, Jr., Hira, Jubal, Viley, Corsican, Kitten, La Polka, Bonnie Braes and a colt by Uncle Vic, This contest will excite deep interest. The Belmont stakes will be equally attractive. There are four entries for the Members’ Cup, and as the weights have been ac- cepted by all it 1s fair to presume that all will start. ‘The races will come off to-day, rain or shine. Selling of Pools. Pools on the first day’s races at Jerome Park were sold last night at Riley’s, corner of Broadway and Twenty-eigiith street, by Mr. T. B. Johnson, The at- tendance of buyers was not large, nor was much businessdone. The only races upon which pools were sold were the first ana third races of to-day.

TROTTING AT THE UNION COURSE. Three Races—One a Match and the Others for Purses—Fine Trotting for the Closing Day of the Meeting. The very successful June trotting meeting at the Union course closed yesterday afternoon with three trotting events, two of them very spirited affairs. ‘The first one was a match for $1,000, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, between Mr. Lovell’s bay gelding, Young Commodore, and Dr. Ogle’s bay gelding, Red Rover, which was won by the former in two heats, Red Rover being withdrawn after the second. The appearance of Young Commodore was very much in his favor when he came on the track, and he seemed to be in fine condition; but we re- gret to say that we cannot speak as highly of Red Rover's condition, as he looked more as if he had been prepared for a barbecue than a trotting contest. Why this was is best known the parties interested. The second race was for the proprietor’s purse of $600—$300 to the first, $200 to the second and $100 to the third horse; the race mile heats, best three in five, in harness, for horses that never beat 2:45 m harness, For this purse there were eight.entries, four of which came to the post—A. Paterson’s brown stallion Manhattan, Dan Mace’s bay mare Lydia Thompson, John Chambers’ bay gelding Twist, and Mr. Wara’s bay gelding Trenton. This race was won by Manhattan in three straight heats, in very excellent time for horses of that class. The third race was for a purse of $1,000—$600 to the first, $300 to the second and $100 to the third horse; mile heats, best three in five, in harness, for horses that had never beaten 2:31. This race was the feature of the day, being an exciting affair throughout. It was much the best that was trotted during the day, and elicited much comment trom the spectators. One great peculiarity of the race was the change that took place in regard to Belle of Brooklyn, who, after ‘wining two heats handily, and while 100 to 5 was offered on her in the third heat, she suddenly declined the race when near the end and allowed one of her competitors to pass her, who won the heat and ultimately the race. She started in the two succeeding heats and trotted fast to the nalf-mile pole in each, which seemed to be about her distance, and then relinquished all farther attempts at victory. Cora and Western New York were her competitors, the other entry, Little Fred, not appearing. After the singular conduct of Brook: lya Belle, Cora won {he two subsequent heats, both of which were closely contested by Western New York. In the early part of the race Belle of Brook- a possessed extraordinary speed, and, had her en- urance continued throughout the third heat, would have won the race beyond all doubt. ‘The atmosphere that overhung the track was one of those peculiar ones common to Long Island ac certain seasons. During the afternoon # thick sea fog arose which enveloped the track so densely that at Uumes it was extremely dificult to see the horses atany gfeat distance from the stand, and creating disagreeable sensations while it lasted, which, ai- though broken at intervals, continued during the whole afternoon, It was particularly dense in the third heat; in fact, 80 very thick that the horses in the race could not be seen while on the backstretch and lower turn of the track. This disagreeabie weather did not interfere with the spirit of specuia- tion, however, a8 there Was a wonderiul disposition to bet on the result of each race, and a great deal of money changed hands, the same individuals betting in several different ways. This was particularly the case in the last race, for men were so abroad in their judgment that they did not Kuow how to act, and in turn bought every horse in the race, just as fortune seemed to favor their chances of success. Disunissing all further comments we will now pro- ceed to give the details of the tree trotting races that took place:— TUE FIRST TROT. : First Heat.—Young Commodore was the favorite, at 100 to 60, The horses bad a very even start, but Red Rover soon broke up and fell off a couple of lengths. At the quarter pole Young Commodore was one length in front, he having also broken up on the way there, The quarter pole was passed in forty-one seconds. Youug Commodore was up and down all along the backstretch, yet he managed to keep in front, and led three lengths to the half-mile pole in 1:20. Red Kover broke up and appeared to be lame afterwards. He fell of furtuer on the lower turn and up the homestretch. Young Com- modore won the heat by ten lengeha, Red Rover bemg pulled up after passing the distance stand, ‘Time of the heat, 2:43, Second Heat.—-There was no further betting on the result of the affair, as the backers of Red Rover had weakened considerably in their opinion of his merits, or for some other cause which Was not explained. The start was good, but Red Rover broke soon after- wards and fell off two lengths, which Young Com- modore increased to three in going to the quarter pole in forty-one seconds. He kept on opening the gap, goimg to the half-mile pole in 1:21, and coming home half a dozen lengths in front in 2:48. Ked Rover was then withdrawn on account of his lameness and his inflated condition, aad that settled the race, The following is a SUMMARY. Usion Course, L. I. heats, best three in M.

Going around the turn Lydia Thompson broke up, then Twist and afterwards Manhattan, but the latter went on with the lead of six ae to the ee pole in thirty- seven and @ half seconds, Trenton second, two lengths ahead of Twist, who was two lengths clear of Lydia Thompson. Going down the backstretch Trenton broke up and acted so badly that ellance of his winning Was out of the question; Mai hattan was fifty yards ahead at the half-mile pole in 1:16, and going steadily; the others were left fw ther in the rear from there to the three-quarter pol Lydia and Twist, however, were making a race by themselves, while Trenton was a distance or more behind, Manhattan came on and won the heat by eight lengths, Lydia and Twist cor over the score together, the former on a break, Trenton was distanced, Time of the heat, 2:4 34, Second Heat.—Manhattan was a great favorite were willing tw venture i in the pools he sold for $300, Lydia Th haan fom s seven terme, “Leaeet Thomo: a on son one fer penind. ing around the turn Man: attan led one length, Twist and Lydia and side, Twist trotted Tay and Manhattan backstreten-Aranhattan drew away from with the Patter, ‘and fell off a few lengths, Manhattan led two i at the half-mile pole in 1:17'%, Twist second, hail a length in front of Lydia Thompson, Who was eons *a3'0 fast.

Belle of Brooklyn trotted so fast down the backstretch that she soon overtook and passed Cora and led three lengths to the half-mile pole in 1:16. On the lower turn she opened the gap to five lengths, when Nodine, her driver, took her in hand, and keeping that distance in front, came home an easy winner, Cora second, Western New zon just inside the distance flag. ‘Time of the heat, 223194. Second Heat.—Belle of Brooxlyn was then a great favorite, 100 to 30 going a Uegging. Cora had the best of the start, Belle of Brooklyn second, one length ahead of Western New York. Belte took the jead around the turn, but she broke up soon after- wards, and Cora went to the front and continued to the quarter pole two lengths: ahead, in thirty-eight seconds and a half, Western New York two lengths in the rear. Belle of Brooklyn soon took,sides with Cora on the backstretch and they trotted side and side for two hundred yards. As they approached the hali-mile pole belle of Brooklyn showed in front, and she passed that point half a length ahead of Cora, in 1:15, Western New York two lengths further off. Going around the lower turn Belle of Brooklyn drew away rapidly, opening a gap of five lengths, and then Cora broke up and fel! behind Western New York, who led her two lengths at the three-quarter pole. Belle of Brooklyn was taken in hand on the homestretch and she jogged in five lengths in front, making the heat in 2:32}4. Cora and Western New York strug- gled gallantly for second place. They both broke up twice on the stretch, and Western New York beat Cora to the stand by three lengths, Third Heat.—Kelle of Brooklyn was the favorite at any amount of odds that migut be asked. The pool seller did not offer her for sale, but made up his business with pools on Western New York and Cora for second place. Western New York brought $50 and Cora $35. Cora took the lead, Belle of Brooklyn second, Western New York one length behind, Going around the turn Cora led half a length, Belle of Brooklyn second, two lengths im front of Western New York. Before Cora reached the quarter pole, however, Belle of Brook- lyn got even with her, and they passed that point to- ther in thirty-seven and a half seconds, Western New York at their wheels, Going down the back- stretch Belle of Brooklyn went in front, and led three lengths to the half-mile pole in 1:14%, Cora second, two lengths in advance of Western New York. Belle of Brooklyn began to show signals of distress on the lower end of the turn, and the others closed on her, and at the three-quarter pole she was but one length ahead of Western New York, who was half a length ahead of Cora. Soon after getting into straight work we noticea Nodline using the whip on Belle of Brooklyn, and Cora soon after- wards overtook her, and, passing her, won the heat by Vhree lengths. Western New York made a bad break on the homestretch and he was last by two ee ye, 2:32. urth Heat.—A wonderful change now took place in the betting, Cora being the favorite at odds. They had a very tine send-om, passing by the stand as parallel as could be, Gomg around the turn Belle of Brooklyn took the lead by two lengths, Cora second, three leugths ahead of Western New York, the latter having broken up. At the quarter ‘Belle of Brooklyn led a length and a half in Hurty-eight seconds, Cora second, two lengths ahead of Western New York. On the backst through bel heavy fog that enveloped the track, it was almost impossible to distinguish the horses; but at the half-mile pole Belle was seen leading about two lengths in 1:15%s, which of the others was in front could not be positively told. The horses then passed into a thicker fog, and they were out of sight until well in the homestretch, when it was discov- ered that Western New York was first, Cora second, Belle of Brooklyn several lengths behind and appa- rently much distressed. When inside the drawgate Western New York broke up, Cora went tn front, and won the heat by a length and a half in 2:34. Beile of Brooklyn was ten lengths betind. FUth Heat.—Cora now sold in the pools for $150, the two others together fetchiug $60. Western New York had the best of the send-oi%, Cora second, Belle of Brooklyn about a length behind.

GOSSIP OF THE ENGLISH TURF, Racing of the Week=The Bath Meeting. Lonpon, May 22, 1869, “Welcome to Ba—ath,” said Mr. Cyrus Bantam, the polite, to Mr. Pickwick, when that illustrious gentle- man went down tothe “Queen of the West’ to see life, drink the waters and play long whist. It was but asorry welcome we had on two di present week, forthe clerk of the weather was the M. ©. of the occasion and showed his amiability by turning on the waterworks and letting loose all the “stormy winds that blow—o—o." It is no joke to have to take the waters externally, with new suits of summer garments on, whatever it may be to take them inside, and when one has to trudge or drive four miles from the town to the course up an aseent that may represent an angie of forty-five degrees, with rain failmg in buckets, one is apt to look queer when ‘sport’? is mentioned. There was not much of that either! for what was provided on the Lansdown was hardly worth all the trouble of going to see, Time was when the Bath meeting Was one of the most exciting of the whole year; for coming immediately before the Derby it has generally had the effect of knocking over favorites like ninepins and “rushing” rank outsiders to the top of the quotations, Derby win- ners, too, have dropped from the clouds at this gath- ering, and who that was present could ever forget the time when Caractacus first came ott and fore- shadowed his Epsom triumph of the following Wednesday? Backers of Derby favorites generally go down to the Western city with their hearts sink- ing into their boots, prepared tosee their fancies, on which they have ‘put the family plate,” bowled over and outsiders reigning in their stead, There was nothing of the kind on the present occasion, however; for the Derby horses that came out were hardiy worth mentioning, and the meeting had little or no effect on the betting. That rank imposter Ryshworth, who at one period inst year Was as good as Belladirum, and, indeed, beat him four lepathe | on one occasion, was finally disposed of; for, though —TRIPLE ftwe to one was bet on him, he was eastly beaten by ‘the hardy little De Vere. Ryshworth can win anything when he likes, but he is a most determined “rogue.” ‘The Beaufort Cup was carried of in a canter by Mr. Merry’s St. Mungo, who, it will be remembered, was, afier sustaining aD accident, second for the Chester Cup, and on this occasion he beat some good horses, amengthem Romping Girl, Blueskin and Lancet. ‘The Somersetshire stakes was but a shadow of its former self, and has reached such a state of attenua- ton that it ought to be got rid of altogether. Not many years ago this handicap, which is the oldest in the calendar, was one or very great importance. On the present occasion it was reduced to @ match, which was won by Romping Girl, who conceded her opponent, Judge, about half a hundred weight, and ‘won “anyhow.” A GLORIOUS RUN OF LUCK. ‘The greatest feature of the meeting, however, was whe continued success of Mr. Granam, the owner of Formosa, the Two Thousand, One Thousand, Oaks and St. Leger winner of last year, and formerly part- ner with Mr. Stephenson, the bookmaker, who shot himself recently. The following is a@ summary of his successes during the past fortnight in the matter of two year old races:—At Winchester he won the nh Biennial with Captivator, the Chamberlaque stakes with Astoifo, the Grange Park stakes with Captivator, besides the City Members’ Piate with the three year old Black Fiag. At Salisbury he carried off the Salisbury stakes with Cestus and the Wilton Park stakes with High Chureh, both two year olds. Now at Bath he credited himself with the Selling stakes by ‘Titulus, the Eighteenth Bienmal by Captivator and the Weston stakes by Gamos, not to speak of the Lansdown ‘Trial stakes, by Formosa. It was the genera! opinion that had . Stephenson, who was one of the cleverest men in the market, been alive, he and Mr. Grabam would have realized large fortunes by taking at the flood the tide in their affairs. Mr. Graham is a shrewd man, and he must have made, as it was, a great deal of money by this career of victory. He told me himself that he would win a great many more races: yet, for he had two or three other two year olds in the stable quite as good as Cestus, Captivator, Astolfo or Gamos. {tis certain that his stable 18 1D wonderful form, and that sould they escape the tls to which horseflesh 1s heir he will sweep the board of a great many two year old races this season. SUCCESS TURNS MR. GRAHAM’S HEAD. Mr. Graham 1s far from being a popular man, and his enemies, whose name is Legion, are intensely chagrined at his luck. I am somewhat at a loss to account for this, for! think he is a fine old sports- man, Who wou’t stick at anything In his love for horsefiesh. It 13 certain, however, that he is strong- ly opposed to the public fancying any of his animals and “getting on” them at better prices than he, 1 need scarcely say that the magnificent form shown by his stable has induced general backers to “plunge” on them to stch an extent that he has had to put up with very suortodds, I do remember that, on some occasions, his animals bave been driven back un- accountably in the market. The Drummer, for in- stance, before he won the Metropolitan, by the rumor that he was not to start. But apart from a little “dodging” of this sort, which does not now de- ceive many, and into which the old man may be urged by indiscreet advisers, 1 do not thiak he is a “bad sort,” and Iam certain he is a good sportsman. However that may be, it is a fact that his head appears to have been altogether turned by his success, and at Bath the exhidition he made of himself and the mark he presented for his enemies was piliable, -He was led about all evening by his trainer, Wolcott—who seemed on thorns—in a state of helpless intoxication, buliled by his opponents, avoided by his frieads and generally making a fool of himself. In the Castle,” the resort of the betting men, he was seized on by Uharles Brooke, @ book- maker, who accused him Kept of ‘milking’? his horse, and of being a member of a turf “ong firm,’? that resorted to ali sorts of discreditable dodges; wold him that he would be “on’’ lus horses at any price, and otherwise bullied him, to the great de- light of an applaud crowd. Poor old Graham could not, in his condition, answer his adversary; SHEET. THE SPORTSMEN’S STATE CONVENTION, . . Third Day’s Proceedings—Double Trap ing—Keen Competition—Close, of the Con- vention. SYRACUSE, June 4, 1869. To-day the convention was brought to @ success- ful close. Not the slightest accident occurred, while the proceedings were throughout characterized by harmony, earnest competition and fair shooting. ‘The sportsmen did not succeed in killing all the birds supplied for their amusement, as there yet re- main over 1,200, which will be dispoged of at private matches. The skill displayed at the grounds to- day was superior to any that has yet been ex- hibited, and, favored by delightful weather, much interest appeared to be taken in the con- test, which was a double trap match, four prizes, and for which there were twen- ty entries, Great excitement was shown towards the close, as the double trap contest was one of the features of the entire convention. The first prize was won by George Smith, of the Forester Club, of Buffalo; the second by Robert Newell, of the Forester Club, of Buffalo; the third by H. B. Hooker, of the Monroe County Club, Rochester, and the fourth by J. Ward, of Toronto, The single trap of yesterday, too, had the effect of attracting a large assemblage, but the result was by no means surprising, as the winner had carried oif the chief prize on the first day of the sport.

The shooting was considered very fine and elicited tokens of approba- tion, especially when a@ very dificult bird was brought to grief. After lengthened competition, ex- hausting almost the entire day, the match was brought to a close shortly after six o'clock.

THE NEW “PLUNGER” AND MODERN “PLUNGING.” The name of the Marquis of Hastings reminds me that I should not omit a reference to the progress of the new or little “plunger,” a geuntieman who recently mm hia first appearance in tarf circles, and has all become famous. Ihave institut diligent inquiry as to his antecedents of all sorts and condi- Uons of men, but | have not found one that knows any more aboug tin than that his nawe is Hill, He 1s, a3 I heard a kinaker say the otuer day, “about the weigut of two penuorth of copper’’—that is, he is one of the most diminutive of her Majesty’s sub- jects. He is exceedingiy snoobish in appearance; he seems to have plenty of money, and he bets as it he had the Bank of England at his back. He earnea @ great reputation at Caester by laying agatost Paul Jones for the cup in thousands, aud at much longer odds than were current, and of course he won a small fortune op the race. He made “ducks and drakes’’ of it next week at York by backing the same horse for such a heap of money for the great Northern Handicap that Mr. Hodgman, the owner of Paul Jones, could only get a very short price, and accordingiy refused to start the horse, though he wason the ground. To show the extent of his transactions 1 may mention that at the short odds of live to two he supported Gamos for so much that he won £5,000, or $20,000, on the race, and yel, after all, lis losses on tie two days of tle meeting amouuted to about the same sum. It 1s necdiess to say that he cannot continue tuis sort of thing long, jor backing horses is not, except in the case of suc. men as Sir Joseph Hawley, a profitable game. Tis case is, however, nowadays quite exceptional, for, happily for the turf, “plunging”? las almost enurely gone out of fashion. Wuen I rememper how, two years ago, ac tnis very time, Lord Mast and nis followers of the jeunesse dorce were betting tens of thousands, it is wonderful to see What an effect the Investment of £100 has on the market and into what @ state of excitement it throws the bookmakers. But sull the ‘plunging’ days were 80 disastrous to the pockets of backers that even now some of them are effectually ‘stumped up,” a8 in the case I have now to mention. “ONB MORE UNVORTUNATS”—THB “SPIDER” AT HIS OLD TRICKS.

However pleasant those matches may be they sadly interfere with the reguiar pro- gramme, Great suspicion appears to be attacied to the professional contests, and men of means are now coy about parting with their handfuls so readily as at first. It is evident those matches are by no means popalar, and should be heid over until the regu State shoots have concluded. They certainly contribute to con- vert the occasion into one of gambling or something worse, and thus at the very outset destroy the objects for which the Sportsinen’s Association was organized. The club has for its aims the promotion of enjoyment and the protection of game, but a par- ticipation in or the encouragement of gambling at those annual meetings will drive all thorough sportsmen away. It 1s time it should cease. ‘There was atuch larger attendance to-day than might have been expected, considering the broiling influence of the sun. The heat was intense, but the sportsmen, heediess of the effects, ured away briskly the entire day.

SYNOD OF THE GENERAL REFORMED CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA, June 4, 1869. ‘This was the third day of the Synod of the General Reformed Church of America, The Synod was called to order at nine o’clock.

R.S., in the eighty-third year of his age. KIS BIRTH AND LINEAGE. To many readers of the HERALD the name of Lord Broughton will appear strange, although but few readers of English literature, and particularly of Lord Byron’s poems and letters, are not familiar with John Cam Hobhouse, who, under the title of Baron Broughton, was elevated to the peerage in 1851. He was born on the 27th of June, 176, near Bristol, his father being Sir Benjamin Hobhouse, first baronet of the name and a merchant of wealth and high position in society, The Hobhonse family originally came from Germany and settled at Mine- head, county Somerset. Toward the close of the seventeenth century they removed to Bristol and soon became prominent merchants. The founder of the house, however, was Benjamin Hobhouse, whose eldest son John left @ son and successor (also named Benjamin), Who was created a baronet on the 22d of December, 1812, and who was the father of the deceased peer. Although merchants and be- longing to the gentry, the family appear to have taken position with tne aristocracy a8 far back as 1700. EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION. Of the early life of Lord Broughton comparatively little need be said, as it was rather unimportant until he went to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he made the acquaintance of Lord Byron and others who afterwards figured with him prominently in olittes, We are mdebted to a great extent to the letters of the poet for an acquaintance with the col- legiate life of the deceased. His abilities were marked and his progress rapid. In 1808 he took his degrees at Cambridge. : His TRAVELS WITH LORD BYRON AND ENTRANCE INTO LITERARY LIFE. While in college an intimacy sprung up between Mr. Hobhouse and Lord Byron which lasted during the lifetime of the latter. In 1809, in company with the poet, he travelled through Greece and Turkey, and on his revurn published an account of ail be saw there ina pook entitled “Journey Through Al- banta and Other Provinces of Turkey with Lord By- ron.” At that time Greece was a parcof the Turkish empire and Was included in the general term prov- inces. The work was highly commended by the crities of the day, and, as it was published with his name, gave the author a recognized standing among the Literati of the kingdom. About tis tme (1812 his father was created a baronet and the decease shortly after returned to the Coutinent where, he re- mained untti after the battle of Waterloo. Being in France during the ‘‘Huudred Days’ he wrote a amall work calied “The Last Reign of Napoleon (i816), Whicn caused considerable excite- ment at the time, its eontents being a virtual de- fence of the Emperor and a condemnation of the allies. A short time previous tq this he had written and published a volume of poetry, which, thougi not bad verse, was not calculated to give him reputation. Indeed, the deceased can scarcely pe said to have been a great literary success. NO doubt his connection wit Lord Byron did much to- wards placing his literature prominently before the public, although 1t must be sgid that all he wrote was marked by much vi of expression and originality of thought, if even his writings lacked the impress of genius. HIS IMPRISONMENT IN NEWGATE AND ELECTION TO PARLIAMENT. Jn 1819 Mr. Hobhouse published a pamphlet entt- tied “Letters to an Engitsiuman,” in which he severely attacked the House of Commons. The strong radical sentiments which the work contamed gave it an immense popularity among the extreme elements of politics, and caused his arrest and im- prisonment in Newgate on a charge 01 having com- mitted a breacn of privilege. This action on the part of the government was regarded in the light of rsecution by the electors of Westminster, who took up his cause and in 1820, soon after his release, nominated him for Parliament. In spite of the most strenuous opposition on the part of the whigs, who left nothing undone that could contribute to defeat him, Mr. Hobhouse was elected by large majority, after one of the most animated contests that bas marked the political annals of England. From that time until 1853 he continued to represent Westminster in the liberal interest, and only gave up his seat to become Chief Secretary for ireiand. HIS CAREER IN PUBLIC LIFE. On taking his seat Mr. Hobhouse disappointed the expectations of his poittical opponents and the fears of his friends, by abandoning the ultra radical views, which he undoubtedly held at the time of bis im- prisonment. As a reformer he was energetic and devoted, and proved himself an eloquent speaker and able arguer in devate. He never became @ Par- liamentary leader or the head of a political party, but soon Won a prominent position a¥ a liberal. His moderate speeciies and evident modification of his | emgean held radical opiumtons materially aided his political preferments, In 1881 he entered the Cabinet of Earl Gray as Secretary of War, and about the same time succeeded bis father in the baron- etcy as Sir John Cam Hobhouse, In 1835 he resigned his cabinet office for the position of Chief Secretary for Ireland, and was soon after defeated for Parliament. During the following sar, however, he was returned @ memoer forNotting- ham, which he represented till 1847, and for foar years after that date was the representative for Harwich, giving up his seat in the Commons 9a hia elevation to the Under Lord Melbourne's administration Sir John was Chief Comumisstoagr of Woods and Forests and President of the Board of Control, and from 1846 to 1551 held the latter office under Earl Russell's government. His connection with the Board of Control was quite creditable to him. During 1851 “he was elevated to the peerage, with the ttle of Baron Broughton of Broughton Guford, and on leaving the House of Commons may be said to have abandoued politics, as he never after took am active part in public affairs. It is pro- bable that at the time, having reached the age of sixty-five years, he had growo weary of the turmoil ot politica and desi to spend tue remaimder of his days in quietwe. 1118 WRITINGS. As we remarked before, Lord Broughton’s reputa~ tion cannot depend upon his literary works, but must rest principally upon his poiltical career, which, if not brilliant, was solid and successful. Nevertheless, he was a gentleman of deciled talent, a gracefui, polished writer, a keen critic and an abe reviewer. His description of his journey through Greece and Turkey with Byron 1s graphic and interesting, and his notes to “Cluide Haroid’ Pilgrimage” are minute and valuable. His otne writings have already been mentioned, excepting his contributions to the Westminster Review, which he aided in founding, and to Blackwood’s and Fraser's Magaztnes. His volume of poems entitled, “Imita- tions and Transiations from the Classics, with Original Poems,” to which we have alluded, and which was published in 1800, are quite ordinary—not so good, in fi as Byron’s “Hours of idieness,’? The Siege of Corinth” and the fourth canto of “Cluide Harold,” which were botu dedicated to the deceased, then plain Mr. Hobhouse, He made a later — with the poet through Spain, Italy, Switzer- and, and other parts of Europe, and the friendship which existed between the two was of the most sin- cere and intimate character. Tue deceased was one of the executors of Lord Byron, and has been se verely censured for the manner in which be sup- pressed every attempt made to publish the facts cou- nected with the poe’s estrangement from his wife. Whether he, like Moor yielded to the infitence of ‘Lady Byron’s iriends cannot be wid, but it is certain that he threatened a jaw sult, and, perhaps, brought one agaist a publisher who had announced a pub- lication purporting to give the facts alluded to, It is barely possible taat now Lord Broughton is dead the long concealed facts will come to light. CONCLUSION, In 1423 Lord Broughton married Lady Julia Hay, youngest daughter of the Marquis of Tweeddaie, and by ner had two daughters, the oldest of whom died in 184%, while the youngest, in 1851, married the Hon. Strange Joceiyn, second son of the Earl of Roden. His wife died in 1886, Without leaving him male issue, and ag he never married again he will be succeeded in his tities by one of his nephews.
