Despatches to America Under Difficulties, LONDON, June 6, 1870, ‘The Irish telegraph lines are not working well to- day. At present it is impossible to communicate with Valentia, the point where the land lines connect with the English cable. As a consequence telegrams from English cities for the United States are going forward by the following somewhat circuitous route:—By channel cable to Brest; thence by French cable to St. Pierre; thence by Newfoundland Com- pany’s cable to Sidney, ©. B.; thence by Newfound- land land line to Port Hood, and thence by the Wes- tern Union lines to the various cities and towns in the United States and Canadas, Notwithstanding this unusual route, there 1s no apparent delay in the transimission of messages, The working of the lines 1n this way Cemonstrates the wisdom and prac: tical value of the joint-purse arrangement made by the English and French cable companies some time since, In the absence of some such arrangement America Would not be in telegraphic communication with Europe to-day, because the lines of both companies are disordered. The English line is crippled from Valentla east, and the French line from St. Pierre west; but by jumping from one cable to the other, as it were, In mid ocean, complete telegraphic com- munication Is restored.

ALABAMA. Excitement in Montgomery Against Judge Busteed=The Judge Held to Bail on Charge of Libel. MontToomeERy, June 6, 1870, The meeting of citizens called by John C. Keefer and other republicans to censure the action of Judge Busteed, of the United States District Court, for inearcerating Auditor Reynolds for disobedience of an injunction of the court, resulted in a failure. Mr. Thompson, a negro member of the Legislature, was elected President and announced that Busteed should be sustained, Attorney General Morse said Reynolds disapproved of the meeting. Resolutions were introduced by Mr. Kaifer against Judge Bus- ted, denouncing him in severe terms. The resolu- tions were voted down and the meeting broke up, A warrant was issued against Judge Busteed this morning charging him with libelling Reynoids, aud two negroes were deputized to serve the warrant, which Busteed evaded by being driven to the court room in a close carriage and giving ball, ILLINOIS.

Potter Palmer, a well Known Chicago millionaire, gives notice, through the public press, that he will, on the 1st of July, commence the erection of a hotel on the southeast corner of State and Monroe streets, which will probably be the largest in the country. It will have a frontage of 253 feet on State street and 252 feet on Monroe street. It is to be eight stories bigh and will contain 750 rooms. It will be in the style of the Louvre palace built by Louis Philippe, and will cost, including the ground, over two and a half militons of dollars. A destructive tornado swept over Scott county, Il, on Saturday. It covered an area of four or five miles in length and a mile wide. Fences were de- molished, and fields of wheat, corn, oats and gar- den vegetables completely destroyed. The largest forest trees were torn up by the roots and orcnards and vineyards ruined, No lives were lost. A LETTER CARRIERS TROUBLES. Before Commissioner Manierre was yesterday heard a case that has some very queer features, The defendant is officer George W. Whitman, Twenty-second precinct, and the prosecutor Peter 3. Lindon, a letter carrier, From the evidence it ap- pears that Whitman and his wife separated some months ago, and the wife ordered the carrier to de- liver her letters to her personally. Whitman de- manded the letters from the carrier and was refused. A bitter feeling ensucd to wards Lindon, On the 234 uit, Whitman met Lindon corner of Forty-second _ street and Broadway, and called him a thief. Lindon answered to language more expressive than ele- gant; a quarrel ensued, when Whitman arrested him, had him arraigned at the Yorkville Court and held to bail. The Carrier charged him with mati- cious arrest, He called a witness, who swore that Lindon had promised to give him an old, giandered horse, that was at the station house awaiting the on dock cart, re einen @ppear at headquar! Pa and swear against Lindon, 6 hearing was al- journed uadl Wedneaday, : —— MARAPR A ThO Germans én fin Wing—Ploasure Parties to All Points of the Compass ou a White military drama of “Not Guiity,” ud four acts, waa Monday Carnival, Pentecost—Pfngsten—is more than a religious fes- tival to the Germans, It is a generat holiday—the season of inauguration for the untrammetied enjoy- ment of nature, with her beauties of Spring fully de- veloped. While the Jews celebrate the “time of the giving of the law” unto Moses on Mount Sinai, and the Christian remembers devoutly the “filling of the aposties with the Holy Ghost,” they all, if they be Germans by birth, unite on Pentecost Monday— PAngst Montag—with their fellow countrymen of alt shades of religious belief and of no particular belief Whatever and make the day a social holiday for themselves and their families. This cus- tom has been transplanted from the fatherland to this country, and was observed to its fullest extent yesterday. For all parties on picnics and open air frolics intent the weather proved favorable, albelt the clouded heavens and foggy state of the atmos- phere augured til for the day’s expected pleasures, and the many terse remarks tnat felt from otber- wise pious lips would have made the weather clerk squirm could he have heard them, But the skies cleared off towards noon, and the brighter the sun sent forth his burning rays the brighter beamed the smiles on the countenances of the thousands and thousands of fair maidens and stately matrons, and the jollier felt the young sprouts in anticipation of the “grand fun’ to be had in the afternoon and evening. And hence probably one full half of our German population were out tn their best and new- est dresses, visiting the parks and other public gar- dens or taking part i festive excursions in the neighborhood. The following incomplete list will approximately show to what extent the summer festivals are concentrated in PAngst Montag:— The Northeastern Saengerbund held forth at Funk’s Union Park, at the foot of Sixty-third street and East river. This Bund is composed of thirty German singing societies of this city, Brooklyn and. Hoboken—the Arion, Liederkranz and the New York Singing Academy among them—and as a matter of course 1t attracted an immense gathering. There Was & concert at half-past two o'clock P, M., at which many members of the societies assisted, and general hilarity prevatied till late in the evening. ‘The New Yorker Allgemeine Saengerbund, also a union of seventeen aging societies, assisted by the New York Turn Verein, by Company [ o1 the Fifty-fifth regiment and several other societies, entertained their friends and guests at Jones’ Wood with a con- cert of vocal and instrumental music, and with all the other alusements “customary on similar occa- sions.' The Teutonia Maennerchor performed a like duty to their members and #friends at the Terrace Garden, in Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth streets, near Lexing- ton avenue, ‘The Saengerlust, a similar society, assembled in forceyat Rabenstein’s Bellevue Garden, foot of Kight- jeth streetand East river. The Bloomingdale Freundschafts Bund (League of Friendship) had a picnic and summer night's festival at Hamilton Park, Sixty-sventh street and Third avenue, The Colonia Society filled Salzer’s East River Park, foot of Eighty-fourth street and East river, with hosts of merry people, Sodid the Harugari Liederkranz at Reutz’s Elm Park, Ninety-second street and Eighth avenue. The Humboldt Lodge, No. 30, of the order of Herr- man’s Sous, assembled for a like purpose, and to dedicate a new flag, at the Hudson River Garden, on Fifty ninth street and Tenth avenue. ‘The Union Maennerchor had a very large con- course of pleasure seekers at their concert and pic- nic at the Lion Park, 110th street and Tenth avenue. ‘The Mainzer Carneval Verein started én corpore— mitt kind und kegel—down the bay, and did not stop until they landed at Bechtel & Ruebsam’s lager beer cellars. The Brooklyn Saengerbund made the welkin ring with tis melodies at Joseph’s Home, Eighth street, between Third and Fourth avenues, Brook! ‘The South Brooklyn German Inaepende! ard celebrated the day with a ptenic at Pope's Park, on Filth avenue and Thirty-sixth street, South Brooklyn. The Salamander Schuetzen Corps had a regular schueizenfest at Astoria, And thus the list might be prolonged through several columns of the HERALD Were it intended to give all the excursions, picnics, concerts and society Ciby) gated Jor yesterday's celebration of Pyligst fontag. THE WILLIAMSBURG ASSASSINATION, Ante-Mortem Statement of the Victim. The murderous assault committed on the person of Wohn Kernan by John Gorrntey in Williatnsburg on Saturday night, the particulars of which ap- peared in yesterday's HERALD, now appears to have been the work of an assassin, and was planned and premeditated some time ago. The condition of Mr, Kernan was so precarious yesterday that Coroner Whitehill deemed tt his duty to take his ante-mortem statement. It is as follows and speaks for itself: I, John Kernan, of 26 Withers street, Brooklyn, E. D., now in the fuil possession of my senses, believing that I am dangerously wounded and that I will die from the effects of said wounds, do hereby volunta- rily and of my own free wili and accord, make the following statement:—On Saturday evening, June 4, 1870, at eleven o’clock, just after coming out of the liquor store of Timothy Healy, in North Fifth street, near Sixth street, and while walking along the sidewalk on North Fi(th street, near Seventh street, I heard some one waiking behind me. Turning round f saw a man named John Gorm- ley, with whom I am _ well acquainted, and before I had time to speak wo him he struck me with some — instrument and then ranaway. He said nothing when he struck me, About two weeks ago Gormley and | had a dis- pute in the liquor store of Healy, when we came to blows, and alter tie dispute Gormley told me he would take my life the first place that he saw me, Lhave never lad any trouble with Gormley except the trouble just meutioned, and gave him no proyo- cation for the assault on the nignt on which it occurred, Rumors that the Fenian organization, with which Gormiey 1s said to have been connected, delegated him to murder the old man Kernan are tndignantly denied by members of the brotheriood., They are pronounced “inventions of the enemy.” Trouble Between the Trunk Lines—The Last Move of the Monopolists—The Colossi ot Roads at War. The railroad titans are again preparing to wage suicidal war upon each other, and, judging by present indications, the contest this season will be unusually fierce. Vanderbilt has at length laid aside his mask and come out tn open hostility to competing lines, hoping thereby to furiher the ends of the gigantic monopoly he has so long and vaiuly sought to establish. The douglty Commodore ye: terday flung down the gauntlet by notifying Pres: dent Gould that ail arrangements hitherto existing between the New York Central and Erie lines are to be considered null and void, Disappointment at the utter defeat of his English agents, Raphael, Burt & | Co., 18 assigned as the motive which has induced Mr. Vanderbilt to come out at last in his true colors as the great opponent of the Erie interest. Acting in concert with his foreign filibusters, with a view to crushing out Erie as a competing line, Vanderbilt has refused to receive Erie tickets between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and is making tremendous exertions to viock the routes to Chicago and the Northwest. Gould, the indomitable, and Fisk, the irrepressi- ble, have promptly acknowledged the challenge of the Central combination, and are determined to ac- cept the gage of battle against the threatened mo- nopoly. Vanderbilt having also repudiated the ar- rangements hitherto in force with the Pennsylvania Central will stand alone in the coming contest. Ne- gotiations for a defensive and offensive alliance are now being carried on between the Erie and Peunsy!- vania Central, and should a satisfactory treaty be concluded between these powerful corporations Van- derbilt will be brought to terms betore long. THE NATIONAL GAME. Mutual vs. Eckford. A closely-played game came of the meeting of the Mutuals and Eckfords yesterday at the Union grounds, The former club were minus the ser- vices of Wolters, their pitcher, and the Eckfords of Lynch, an out-flelder, and Price, the catcher.

LOUISVILLE, June 6, 1870, The procession of the Catholic Central Soctety yesterday was one of the largest and most imposing ever seen in this city. The houses of German citi- on the line of march were tastefully decorated, itecost Sunday” was generally observed by the Catholics, Jews and Episcopalians. There was an Immense assemblage at the Jewish synagogue to witness (ue ceremonies. AMUSEMENTS. Ninzo’s Ganoiit.—watte Phillipa’ grand rontaite prodneed at (his theatre last night, ‘The piece was elegantly put on the stage, some of the scénes beiug very fine, The plot of the play is very common- place and is composed of the usual ingredients used in the composition of such dramas. The battle scene at the end of the third act was really good, yet the audience coula weli spare some of tue inilitary evolutions, and the display of the drum corps, whichanight serve very well in a drill room, could also be dispensed with, In regard to the act- = the members of the company ac- uitted themselves —respectably, but those who best distinguished themselves may be mentioned Mr. Owen Fawcett and Mr. Rankin. ‘Miss Virginia Buchanan and Mrs. C. Walcot are also deserving of notice. The plece will have to be cut down or the effects curtatled in order to bring It within legitimate limits, “Not Guilty’? was received well by a lull house and promises to have a good run, Park Tueatne, BROOKLYN—MIs8 LEONA CAVEN- DER.—Another airy sprite, familiar with the banjo, has appeared, Miss Leona Cavender ts the name of this new Ariel, She appeared last evening for the first thine before a Brooklyn audience at Mrs, Con- way’s Park theatre, and from her first entrance won the full guerdon of success from the substantial audience that usually greets that theatre. She ts said to be a Brooklynite, but her stage triumphs heretofore have been altogether in Western or other provincial cities, Whence most of the Little Nells and Marchionesses of the stage appear to have hailed. She is at once hand- some, artless, modest and versatile, and tu addition to picking the banjo can sing a song and trip the light fantastic with the best of her predecessors. Her voice 1s full and sweet, and she sings with good expression, ‘The play in which she appeared last evening 1s called “Minnie’s Luck,” and is a local New York story, expressly written for her by John Brougham. [tis died with good local hits, the most extensive of which is the sensational reporter aud interviewer of the period, and has, of course, a number of startling incidents = which would appear incredible in New York life, were it bot that the reporter himself is present to remind us continuaily what astonishing facts are served up to us every morning in our especial daily. Minnie (Miss Cavender) is a little street singer, abducted from her mother by an enemy, and the good reporter, assisted by a lawyer, is engaged throughout the play in returning her to her home, which he happily does, and takes his greatest reward in making a few startling head Mnes about it. Miss Cavender was warmly cheered by the enthusiastic audience and received several large and beautiful “floral tributes.’? WALLACK’s—“fHE RED Licut.”—A light, serlo- comic, semi-sensational and thoroughly enjoyable drama, called “The Red Light,” opened the summer season at Wallack’s last night. It has all the ele- ments of the sensational business in ft without mur- der, and the absence of this undesirable quality did not injure the play m the least. Tne author—the m- imitable John Brougham—was, of course, the main attraction, and nearly all the other characters served as foils to his inimttable wit and humor.
