Who would have thought that the champion club of the country could be so frightfully “cleaned out’? as they were by the Red Stockings yesterday afternoon on the Union grounds? Eight straight white Washes, and then only saved from the ninth one by anaccident, is quite enough to shake the confidence of the most ardent admirers of the Mu- tuals ag to their abillty to long retain the bauble championship which they now claim to hold. But still, notwithstanding they were so badly “done for,” they played a splendid game, having but cight errors charged against them from frst to last. Their weakest point was in their batting, they not being able to hit Brainard to any extent at all, As for the “Reds,’? they played in their real old-time fashion, Making but four errors during the entire game. The great excitement of the andience, and the consternauion of the Mutuals and their friends towards the close of the game, can be better imagined than described, The champions had only to send theif men to the bat to have them disposed like hotcakes, In but one tuning did they sac- ceed in getting five men to bat, the side, as a rule, going out im One, bwo, thvee order.

Burglars and the thieving frasernity generaliy should take warning trom a circumstance that Occurred in the Eighteenth ward, on Monday night, Masmuch as It resulted in the shocking death of one of their number while in the act of breaking into a build ing for the purpose of plunder. From tniormation received from Captain Cameron and other sources, tt appears that during the past seven mouths three different attempis have beew made by burglars to forcibly enter the gun store aua shop of Joseph + D’Agostoine, 201 East Tweniy-ihird srrect. e Point of attack was a rear window, and tie pro- Biss determined to set a trap in which the bur lars would be caught in ca they revisited his premises. Accordingly, tor eral by Agostoine, on Jeaving his place, arranged ® musket loaded with slugs near the rear Window, and by means of strings formed a combi- mation with the shutter so that im the event of te window being tampered with the charge m the mus- ket would explode, ‘bus inatiers stood on Monday vening When the piace was closed, and yesterday foram Mr. b’Agostine on entering his Store was not & little surprised to find the dead body of a man lying outside of the rear window, with the top of of a Gun fits past Mr. { of fellows that ever played ball. | duving this season. his head nearly carried away by the charge from the musket. ‘he horrified gunmaker im- mediately notified Captam Cameron, who caused the remains of tue alleged burglar to be removed to the Morgue to awalt su oficial investi- tion and identification. The afatr rapidly spread throughout the Eighteeuth ward, creating the most Intense excitement, especially among the crime- committing portion oi the people, who flocked to whe scene of the an my and also to the Morgue to ‘see the body. Of the hundreds who called at the e during the day was Mr, William J. Bing- jam, living at No. $41 East Twenty-third street, who, on seeing the dead body, instantly recogmzed at a8 that of his brother-in-law, George Tweddle, a single man, twenty-three years of age, born in Ireland and by occupation 2 machinist, Mr. Bingham, with whom deceased lived, gave him a good characterand said he had never known of nis belng in serious trouble. ‘The friends are loth to believe that Tweedle was tn the act of committing a burglary at the time he was shot, but are unable to account for his being at the gun store aiter it had been closed for the night. A wsmall chisel and part of a broomstick, evidently im- ements used by deceased and found beside the Boay, give the case @ bad appearance. The body when found was carefuily laid out with the arms crossed, which fact raises the strong presumption that he had accomplices, who abandoned the body immediately after tue tragic occurrence, Captain Cameron reigns D'Agostoine, the gunsmith, apd held him in the stauon house to await the result of an inquisition. During the after- noon Coroner Fiynn arrived at the Morgue and re- quested Dr. Delafield, of the Hospital medical staff, vo make @ post-mortem examination on the body, Which was accordtngly done. Of course fracture of the skuil and injury to the brain was the cause of 4eath. The Oorouer empanelied a jury, and after viewing the remains gave permission to the rela- ves to remove them to the residence of Mr. Bing- ham, No, #41 Kast Twenty third street, where the funeral ceremonies will be performed,’ On Thure- day the body wul be buried in Greenwood Cemetery. The Coroner's investigation will take place at the Olty Hall at eleven o’ciock on Friday next. ‘The prisoner is forty-five years of age and a native Of Palermo, Sicily. WHERE IS TRE CORY EME SHENANDOAT ? A United States Vessel Fifty Days at Kea and Nothing Heard of Her Whereubonts— Has She Been Lost in the Recent Storm? No intelligence has yet been received of the arrival fn European waters of the corvette Shenandoah, Commander Clark H, Wells, which sailed from Bos- ton on the second or third day of September last. Bhe is now over fifty days out and is making an unu- is season It 18 quite probable that she may pave en the hip seen dismasted by an English ship about the 12th of September. ‘Sho was fully supplied with coal, and could go under ‘steam for from fourteen to twenty days, with eco- homy of fuel, without the use of alls. in that case she would probably steer for the Windward Isiands to repair damages, in order to continue on her yoy- vo Lisbon.

Murder in Tren —A Ball in Aid of the German Wounded Ends in Blood. About half-past two o’clock yesterday morning the ball which was being held at Freese’s Hall, Trenton, N. J., in ald of the sick and wounded of the German army, was suddenly brought to a close by the announcement having been made that one of the party bad been killed. The unfortunate victim proved to be a German named William Roessler, @ well known resident of Trenton, The circumstances of the affair are as follows:— ‘The deceased man, who had been moving some- What prominently throagh the assembly all the evening, Was noticed to be engaged tn angry alter- cation with another German named George Hugue- notta short time before the sad occurrence took place, Upon the interposition of a few friends order Was restored and everything passed 8 as pleasanuy 43 before. Shortly afterwards Roessler and his family concluded to leave, and they accord- ingly proceeaed out ef the ballroom, Roessler being several yards behind them. They had reached the bottom of the stairs leading from the ballroom before he commenced to descend. He had not gone three steps downward when Wiliam Klemann, another German, who was on the land- ing, came a. him and gave him a kick in the middle of the back, and as the stairs were very steep, he was precipitated head Loremost to the bot- tom, crushing his skull against the lower steps and causing almost instant death. The assailant then endeavored to escape unnoticed into the ballroom, but was fotled in the attempt by one of the stewards, Who was attracted to the scene by the loud notse, and Klemann was by him handed over to the cus- tody of a detective. Coroner Dignan was subsequently notified and an inquest was held on the body shortly afterwaras. Alfred Brandt testified that he saw Klemann kick Roessler and that the latter was not drunk. Martin Spiegel swore that Klemann and Roessler were not in conversation at all during the ball; that Klemann Was not drunk; that he was certain Roessler was not drunk; that the latter had his back turned to Klemann when he received the kick. James Me- Gul testified that he saw Roessler and Huguenott quarreling. The jury rendered the following verdict:—That William Roessler came to his death from concussion of the brain produced by being kicked from the sec- ond or third step of the stairway in Freese’s Hail, said kick being given by William Klemann, on the 26th of October, 1870, Upon this verdict Klemann was committed for trial. Tne affelr has created intense excitement, ae the German portion of the population espe- cially.

The St. Clair Canal Sonsation—The Eng- Ush Mission Declined by Mr. Morton— Reason for Cabinet Changes—Q@ov- ernment Receipts and Expenses . for 1869 and 1870, WasHINGTON, Oct. 25, 1870, ‘The St. Clair Canal Sensation. ‘The truth about the late sensation concerning the seizure of the St, Clair Canal by a gunboat belong- ing to the Dominion authorities seems to be this:— ‘The Minister of Mternal Affairs of Canada went on tour cf inspection, accompanied by other ofMiciala, and tn the course of his rounds satied into the canal Ina Dominion gunboat. He took no possession, however, nor did anything occur to indicate any such purpose on his part, Having sailed in he sailed out again, and that’s the whole story, as developed by inquiries instituted by the Governor of Michigan, Some Canadian, wishing to make o sensation, circulated the seizure story, which was swallowed by several newspapers, and finally found its way to Washtngton. Then an mvestigation was ordered, with the above result, ‘There was an air of probability about tue story, from the fact thut certain of the Canadian authorities were under the delusion that the canal was really within the British boundary Mne «as settied by the commissioners. It 1s ascertained, however, that there ts no fonndation for this claim of the Canadians. Maps tn the possession of the Engineers’ Department show clearly and beyond the possibility of a doubt that the canal is con- strucied entirely on the Aimertoan side of the bouns dary line. Seuator Morton Derlines the English Mission. Senator Morton has formaliy declined the mission to England, giving as a reason tor doing so that in the event of his resignation as Senator the demo- crats, being in the majority in the Legislature of Indiana, would not fail to elect a successor from thelr own party, and setting forth the impropriety of such course on his part in connection with the Interests of the administration. Ale cordially thanks the President for the mark of distinguished favor in tendering the mission, and tt is understood the Pre- sident has replied in terms equally friendly. President Gran’s Cubinet—Rensous Mens Hoar and Cox Retiring. Some of the Cabinet makers, now that Senator Morton has formally, In a letter to President Grant, declined the mission to England, have started a re- port that Postmaster General Creswell has been designated for that foreign position, and Colonel J, W. Forney for the office to be vacated by Mr, Creswell. Both the President and Mr, Creswell, when they read the report, were pleasantly surprised ai the pro- gramme which had thus been arranged, It 13 safe to say that the Postmaster General has no present intention of visiting England, nor bas the President yet selected a Minister tn the place of Senator Mor- ton, dectined. As erroneous reports have lately been made ia connection with Cabinet changes, the following statement may be of interest in the way of correc- tion:—It will be recollected that after the name of A. T. Stewart, nominated to be Secretary of for the Treasury, was withdrawn from the Sen- ate, that of Mr. Boutwell was substituted by the President. Judge Hoar had pre- viously been designated ag Attorney General, When the last named heard of the nomination of Mr. Boutwell he hastened to Washington, and at the first Cabinet meeting he attended he sald to the Pre- sident that in his opinion there should not be two Cabinet officers from the same State. Therefore, whenever it should be thought that his own resigna- tion would relieve the President from the slightest degree of embarrassment in this particular he would esteem it @ favor to be so in- formed, in order that his successor might be selected from some other State. The President was not only friendly to Mr. Hoar, but gave him his entire confidence. Frequently offering t) resign and anticipating an early release from the office of At- torney General, Judge Hoar never established him- self in housekeeping in Washington, nor did he bring his family hither. It has been published that Grant sojourned at Long Branch, ing the races, Secretary Cox was himself to business tn Washington; but tt is Known that while at Long Branch the President did not attend the races, and that meanwiule Secretary Cox was absent an entire month. It was during General Cox’s absence that he, by letter, teudered his resignation, and it may be stated with like contidence that the reasons for while President attend. devoting General Cox's retirement involved no differ. ence whatever on public affairs, ana, con- trary to report, there was entire harmony on the policy of conducting affairs, through the agency of civilians, selected for their business quali- fications, a3 well as for their known benevolent character. The only thing that could be construed as involving disagreement between these gentlemen was the MeGarrahan claim. A year ago the Presi- dent expressed to Secretary Cox his desire that no patent be signed in bis name either for McGarraban or the New Idrla Company, until Congress had finally acted upon the subject, as much corruption had been charged on on both sides, and as the question was undergowg ; legislative inquiry even before the present adminis- tration came Into existence, and on the 22d of August last the President wrote General Cox a note, in which he communicated similar views and Inhibited the signing of sach patent by the Secretary appointed to sign land patents for the President un- less by his own specific orders or through the Secretary himse!f. The Secretary, on the reception of the President's note, promptly gave the required instruction to the land patent Secretary. General Cox explained to the President that McGarrahan‘s case was not before the department, i was the new liria Company's claims to the same quicksilver mines, the pos. session of which is contested by McGarrahan, but this matter was not the cause of the Secretary's resignation. The reason given for the withholding of the correspondence between Secretary Cox and the President, the resignation and its acceptance is that it was, at the time it took place, considered to be private by both parties, and, as now repeated, volves no difference on public measures as a cause of official separation. The Internal Revenue Vacancy. It has been ascertained, on inquiry at oficial sources, that no person has yet been decided on for Commissioner of Internal Revenue, nor 1s it likely that an appointment will be be mace for several weeks. Commissioner Increased Mail Servic The following is # summary of the number of mules travelled by the mails during the past fiscal year as compared with the fiscal year previous: Number of miles travelled im conyeying the Unitea tex matis in 1869, 90,7234 number travelled 10 1870, 97,024,996; increase in one year, 6,501,593.

THE SAPPHO THE WINNER. The match race between the Sappho and Dauntless over & course of twenty-five miles to windward and back came off yesterday, resulting in a victory for the former by twenty-three minutes and wWirty-five seconds, Beyond question @ tiner opportunity for the display of the satling qualities of both vessels could not have been presented, and the success of the Sappho was merttorjously achieved, surrounded as it was by wie most favorable circum: stances, nothing was wanting to render the contest in every why satisfactory, AS & match race between two large schooner yachts tt was decidedly the best of the season, for although there was nothing peculiarly interesting in it so far 4s the close proximity of the vessels was concerned during the contest or any incidental brashes, there Was nevertheless a splendid exibition both during the beat out and the run home before the wind. The race, it will be remembered, as some thme been under discussion, and the announcement that it was to caxe place created a great deal of muterest lu yachting etre Both vessels. underwent a good deal of preparation for the event, and as they were generaily regarded aa belug among the fastest tn the world not a litle excitement pre- Valled as to the Issue of the race. After being well polished on the ways the Sappho left on Monday morning, her place being taken by the Daunt- less. Shortly atter nine o'clock at night the steamer Seth Low, which acted as a committee boat, towed her to Staten Island. A fishing amack, engaged for a stakeboat adjacent to the Ugbtship, was also taken in tow. An carly start was anxiously looked forward to, and atter the arrangements had been completed the contestants were taken out towards the lightship at dawn, Upon arriving there it was found that, the wind being southwest, the course could not well be tald dead ahead, and the fishing smack anchored about seven miles east by north of the lightship as the point of starting. All question as to time allowance was waived by the Dauntless, the only stipulation being that there Should be at least a good eight knot breeze. Good luck seemed to favor the contestants in that respect, as the wind was sufMictently fresh to give the vessels an excellent send of, A fying start was agreed to, and the judges were Messrs, Wilson and Babcock for the Dauntless and Sappho respectively.

Broyton, Pension Agent at Providence, RL Reply to Ex-Secrotary Welles’? Atiack oa Mr. Seward. Major General Meigs in a published communica- tion vindicates Mr. Seward from ex-Secretary Welles, in a Galacy article, saying, among other things:— The truth 1s, probably, that the real object and hopes of the President in both expeditions were at- tained. The Pickens expedition sailed in secrecy, and saved to the United States the control of the entrance to the filuest Southern port and Naval station, and saved the cost of @ large blockading squadron for years. The Sumter expedition, of which the President and the Cabinet had been wdvised by the highest military and naval authorities, as shown by Mr. Welles, to be impracticable, demonstrated and published to the world the resolve of the President to do all in his power to retain Fort Sumter. The correctness of the opinion of the President's advisers was shown by the result, I think L have proved chat a per- fectly loyal and patriotic motive and action on the part of Mr. Seward is consistent with all whe documents cited by Mr. Welles. The letter of Judge Campbell was published when writren. Mr. Seward did not think necessary vo reply te the accusations of having, as Secretary of State, disap- pointed the fond hopes of his present accuser, which nOW compel a notice of his extraordinary articie, dir. Seward held the confidence of Mr. Lincoln as long ag the assassinsspared tum, He sat at the Counctl Board with the author of the Galary article for negrly four years after Mr. Liucoin’s murder, and now, absent at the Antipodes, he can rely upon his countrymen to cherish 1n their hearts the repnta- on of his great services, HANDS OFF. Fair Piny for the French Republic. To THe Epiror oF THE HERALD:— The news recently received from Europe points to a combination betw certaim neutral nations to bring to a close the bloody scenes that are being nacted in France, A peace based upon the reduc. ton and dismantling of the strongholds of Eastern France, a money compensation to Prussia and the Testoration of the French empire would apparently suit the taste of England, Austria and Italy, and even Prussia might prove coudescending enough to accept these terms, Doubtless there ts a party in Frauce which ts long- ing and plotting for the destraction of republican. ism and the return of the Emperos. Dependence upon the ald which this party would readily yield to the would-be friends of France in the achievement of such 4 plot fosters these vain hopes and prompts the diplomats of monarchical countries to attempt an apparently benevolent mediation. Bat if there remains In France a spark of the old fire of chivairy that distinguished it of yore among nations—and the popular rising in defence of 118 soll which is each day rendering more dimicuit: the self-imposed task of the Prussians proves that it ta not extinct— France will cry “Hands of!" to all intermeddiers and claim to settle without external and pseudo- sympathette interference the quarrel that has been forced upon her by the cowardly tyrant who has vacated hls throne.

Whether the Dauntless was much bene- fited by her quick overhauling on the ecrew dock did not appear. The contest now commenced to be very exciting, partucularly when the Sappho drew upon her opponent. Prior to making her second tack the Dauntless was on the lee bow of the Sappho. ‘The former went about at 10:9 A.M, the Sappho standing in towards the Jersey shore, At 10:11:30 A.

Tho wind did not moderate yery much and all available canvas was spread, Althongh the Sappho, barring accidents, could not well be defeated, the Dauntless never- theless decreased the gap between them and when half way to the home stakeboat had gained considerably.
