ought to be able to get new brooms without any intervention on the part of the model contractor. However, the main point, ‘so far as the public are concerned, is to have hhe streets cleared of garbage as cheaply and as possible. Provided this be it makes little matter who furnishes the broom or who uses it. We hope the attention pf. the new sweeping brigade will be primarily directed to those localities where refuse has been allowed to accumulate; for it is from these pest spots that the greatest danger to the hhealth of the public arises. Let there be no sprinklings and make-believe brushings, but a thorough cleansing of the hitherto neglected Wistricts; for it is only by adopting vigorous ‘and thorough measures that satisfaction can be given by the new Bureau.

Booth’s Theatre. “Enoch Arden” continues the undiminished at- traction at this theatre. The performance on ‘Thursday evening was witnessed by a large audi- ence, which seemed to manifest much sympathy ‘with the emotional part of the play. Indeed it is pleasing to note that the acting in general and the mise en scéne have markedly improved by repe- ition. Of the drama itself little more need here be paid, since it has already received ample comment in these columns. Mr. Edwin Adams in the title le 1s still painfully heavy and stagey in the open- ing scene, but as the play gains in tragic interest hhe develops much pathos and power, and toward tthe conclusion the intensity of his acting fairly moves the audience. His dying scene, in particular, acts upon the feelings of the spectators like a fune- ral pall. Mr. F.C. Banks gained applause in the ‘character Maa Ray. Mr. A. W. Fenno as Ruben, Mr. James Stark as Captain Sterling, and Mr. Robert Pateman as Peter Lane were effective, though all more or less open to criticism in their several gparts. Mr. A, W.

THE TREATY. Text of Schenck’s Note to Cranville. areas His Action Condemned at the White House. Prospect of the Supplemental’s Salvation. WASHINGTON, June 7, 1872, ‘The following is the text of the letter of Minister Schenck read by Earl Granville in the House of Lords yesterday :— My Lorp—In the conversation we had yesterday, ahd which was resumed this morning, you stated to me that Her Majesty’s government have always thought the language proposed by them in the draft article ag it stood suMcient for the purpose of re- moving and putting an end to all demands on the Part of the United States in respect to those indi- rect claims which they put forth in their case at Geneva, and to the admissibility of which Her Majesty's government have objected, but that there were those who doubted whether the terms used WERE EXPLICIT ENOUGH to make that perfectly clear and to prevent those same claims from being put forward again. I con- curred with you in your view as to the sufficiency of the language used in that clause of the proposed article and which the government of the United States had accepted, and I repelled the idea that anybody should think it possible that the govern- mect of the United States, if they should YIELD THOSE CLAIMS FOR A CONSIDERATION in a settlement between the two countries would seek to bring them up in the future, or would insist that they were still before the Arbitrators for theiry, consideration. I am now authorized, in a tele- graphic despatch received to-day from Mr. Fish, to say that the government of the United States Tegards the new rule contained in the Proposed article as the consideration for and to be ACCEPTED AS A FINAL SETTLEMENT of the three classes of the indirect claims put forth in the case of the United States to which the goy- ernment of Great Britain have objected, ROBERT C. SCHENOK. This note is not approved here. The authority of General Schenck to communicate to Lord Granville the views of his government as to the meaning of the supplementary article was not intended to cover any written communication TO HELP THE GLADSTONE MINISTRY in their contest with their opponents in Parliament. He had been already informed that we were deal- ing with the British government, and not a parlla- mentary opposition. The President considers it compromising to the honor of the country to give a written pledge in advance of what the new treaty isto mean. Our government insists that the article explains itself, and to-day .MR. FISH, WHO IS SICK AND IRRITABLE over the anxicties of the situation, telegraphed General Schenck that the captious criticisms of the British Cabinet on the Senate’s article were ex- hausting the patience of the government and the country and were involving the chances ofa set- tlement of the question. The new article can be ratified IF SUBMITTED BEFORE TUE SENATE ADJOURNS on Monday, but any amendments or explanations insisted upon by Great Britain would make ratifl- cation impossible. This is to be impressed upon Lord Granville, and he is to understand that this government recognizes no way of postponing the presentation of the arguments of the two gov- ernments at Geneva on the 15th of June, except bya treaty to that effect. There is much dissatisfaction on the part of Senators and Representatives over the proceedings in the House of Lords last night. They are displeased at the means resorted to by Lord Granviile in crushing out the opposition by USING THE WRITTEN PLEDGE FROM THE AMERICAN MINISTER. The English distrust of American good faith as expressed in the House of Lords and in the action of the English government has given rise to con- siderable comment and irritation among officials here, and has had avery marked influence upon members of Congress, not at all complimentary to Great Britain. Should the article be accepted it will be embodied in the form of a treaty, to be negottated here by Secretary Fish and Sir Edward Thornton and then sent to London for the Sovereign's signature. The arbitrators at Geneva can adjourn soon after their meeting on the 15th inst., to meet again as soon as the document shall reach them, and there- after continue their business without farther im- pediment. NAVAL ORDERS. WaAspincTon, June 7, 1872. Commander E. P. McRea, detached from the com- mand of the Monocacy and placed on waiting orders; Lieutenant Commander George W. Coffin, from the Constellatiori to the Naval Academy; Ensign Thomas 8. Phelps, Jr., from the Lackawanna to the Independence; Surgeon D. Kennedy, from the Ossipee and placed on sick leave. The Secretary of the Navy has issued a general order relative to shore and sea duties of ofticers. It says:— Whenever an officer at sea, or ordered to sea, shall be relieved at his own request, he shall have no claim for shore duty until he shall have made a cruise of the usual length. When an officer shall be transferred from one shore station to another the time spent at all the several stations shall be put together and counted as his term of shore service, at the expiration of which he must, at all times, hold himself in readiness to join a ship without delay. Itis proper that junior officers should have the oppor- tunity to acquire as rapidly as poasible the requisite experience at sea, and that the more constant and severe duties of the service should devolve upon them. They must, therefore, expect little employ- ment on shore, and must at all times hold them- selves ready for sea service. All officers are re- minded of the impropriety of seeking to evade fa a tours of professional duty on personal consideration or Cosa the intervention of influ- ential friends, thus seeking to impose upon others service which it is their own duty to perform, and, a hardships and dangers which belong of Tight to themselves. The United States steamer Nantasket, Com- mander Carpenter, sailed from Trinidad, Cuba, on the 26th ult., bound to Cienfuegos.

Singular Case of Mistaken Identity. A Young Man Found Dead and is Recognized by Mr., Mrs, and the Misses Christ as Their Son and Brother—The Burial and Mourning—The Sisters Follow the Remains to the Grave—A Great Error—Hiram Re- turns Alive and Well. PrrrspurG, Pa., June 7, 1872, West Overton, near here, is in a state of great ex- citement. A few days ago two men entered a store at West Overton, and purchased a pint of whiskey, the younger of the two, who was well dressed, pay- ing for the same. On the same evening ne was found in a state of insensibility—apparently dead- drunk, under the overshot of a stable. He was di- vested of his coat, and heavily breathing like a drunken man; he looked exactly like a person in the stupor of intoxication, and he was accordingly left as such to sober up at leisure during the night. In the morning, however, he was found in the same condition, and shortly after the man died. On ex- amining the body no marks of violence were dis- covered nor anything to excite suspicion of foul play, but his coat was missing; his pockets were turned inside out and not a thing was left about his person. It was recollected that the young man had paid for the liquor purchased, and a suspicion was at once raised that he had been drugged by his companion, then robbed. The symptoms led to an inference of poisoning by opium in some form, or by some other drug, such as laudanum or sulphate of morphia. THE DEAD PERSONIFIES THE LIVING. The excitement concerning it has been intense, One man in the crowd gathered around identified the dead man as Hiram Christ, and immediately several saw the features of Mr. Christ in the stranger, while others, however, saw no resem- blance, and as positiveiy asserted to the contrary. And here began one of the most extraordinary series of contradictory identifications that has ever been recorded, The father of Hiram Christ was sent for, and as soon ashe saw the corpse he de- clared that it was his son. MR. CHRIST WASN'T CERTAIN. Upon examining the body closely, however, the father said he was not certain; his son had a scar on the chin and a toe split, and the dead body had neither, Mrs. Christ was sent for, and she, too, identified the corpse as the body of her son, About this time the father recollected that his son had peenased a pair of boots, and that when he came ‘om the store he complained of one being too tight, and that on examining the boots one was found to be number seven and the other number eight. In aninstant the boots of the dead man were exam- ined, when, WONDER OF WONDERS, one was found to be number seven and the other number eight. The sisters were now sent for, who said it was their brother, and while the perplexing dispute was going on the body was putrefying, and it was deemed proper to bury it. mother refused to attend the funeral, but the sis- ters followed mourning to the grave. With the grave, however, the mysterious affair was not closed; on the contrary, It stirred up everybody to greater work im definite directions. Persons were sent out IN SEARCH OF HIRAM CHRIST, following him up to his employer, who had recently transferred him to McKeesport. At McKeesport, however, Hiram was not to be found. The father and mother now fancied that the buried man was their son. In great grief and contrition they made preparation to dig up the corpse trom its quiet Testing place at Menanite church and remove It to the yard where their ancestors and friends were at rest. HIRAM SHOWS UP. But to remove all grief and sorrow from the hearts of his parents and sisters, but not to solve the mys- tery of the dead man, Mr. Hiram Christ, in propria persone, put in an appearan He had been tem- porary, absent from McKeesport when sent for, but learning soon after what had happened at West Overton he hastened home. In the excitement caused by the contradictory identification the companion of the dead man was forgotten and allowed to escape from the country. At Iron Bridge and at Broadford a man of his description wanted to sell a coat; but beyond this nothing more has been ascertaines FRANCE.

The trial of Rey. Dr. Huston for alleged gross mis- conduct with lady members of his congregation closed to-day. For nearly three weeks the Eccle- siastic Court that was appointed at the Warrenton Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in March, to inquire into the charges, has been pursuing the investigation, and it is a matter for congratulation that the case has been brought to a close. The charges, from first to last, have been the most remarkable that ever engaged the attention of a Church tribunal in this country, and the case has been of unusual interest to all. Th‘s last day of the trial has been in all its pre- liminaries like the rest. The Court met at ten o'clock, with all connected with the trial in their places. The whole day, up to six o'clock this evening, was spent in taking testimony for the de- fence in the case of the young girl who preferred the charge of seduction, and the rain points of her statement, which was published to-day in the HERALD, were covered by most positive contradict- ing evidence. At six the evidence closed for both sides, and the Court took a recess until half-past seven. Evening Session. The court met for its evening session punctnally and heard a short statement from Dr. Huston, after which It closed its doors and went into an examination of the evidence, and at the present writing (two A.

POLITICAL. —o—_——— GERMAN REFORMERS. The Ineffective Results of the Reform Movement, The German Central Reform Committee, com- posed of the delegations of the German Assembly District Reform organizations, held a meeting at the Beethoven Club House last evening. In the absence of Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer, Mr. Koehler, the Vice President, occupied the chair. The Execu- tive Committee submitted resolutions, which were adopted by & unanimous vote, declaring that the ineffective resuits of the etforts to reach a thorough reform of our city government could not fail to create the utmost satisfaction among our citizens, Who earnestly hoped for the success of the reform movement; that experience during the last four monttis has shown that party polities are the greatest obstacle to the reform movement; that to this obstacle is to be attributed the failure of al} measures of reform proposed UT Beg citizens of New York to the Legislature, and that it is to be feared that the evil will increase during the ex- citement of the Presidential campaign; further, that under such circumstan the selection of candidates will be more depending on the strength they may add to the national or State ticket than on their ability and character, It was, therefore, resolved that the organization shall continue its independent efforts to insure a munici- pal reform by tne elecsion of an honest, economical and able administration; that the acts of our pres- ent city officials shall be closely followed with a watchful eye, and that against all un- fair and dishonest acts contemplated or executed by such officers earnest and en- ergetic opposition shall be made; that they shall insist on an energetic prosecution and trial of charges pending against corrupt officers before the Courts and the Senate, Further, that steps shall be taken to secure the co-operation in this matter of all other organizations having the same object in view. The Executive Committee was directed to adopt measures to carry into eifect the foregoing resolu- tions. A special committee of ten was appointed to take action to cause an investigation in the man- agement of certatn public Institutions and to pre- pare a report on the result of such investigation, RATIFICATION OF THE REPUBLICAN TICKET, Brooklyn Black Men in Council Last Evening. There was a meeting of colored republican citi- zens of Brooklyn held last evening at Common- wealth Hall, over the Post Office, Washington Street, pursuant to a call published in the local journals. About fifty American citizens of African descent put in an appearance at the appointed place of assembly — shortly before nine o’clock; and at that hour Mr. Louis 4H. PurMAN came forward on the platform and called the meeting to order. After regretting the slim attendance, and expressing his opinion that the inclement weather alone could cause such @ number of seats to remain vacant, he said that there were present delegates who had just returned from the Colored Convention at Troy, N. Y., and they were now ready to express their views and endorse the ticket, which would meet with unprecedented success, bearing the names of Ulysses 5. Grant and Henry Wilson. (Applau He then begged leave to introdtce the Hon. W. H. Johnson, of Albany, Chairman of the Colored State Committee, Mr. Johnson, who spoke at considerable length, said he was there to ratify the nominations made at Phila- deiphia. » Was there as aman and acitizen to tell the people of the United States that although the black men ofthe Empire State had but 15,000vote, they would all be given on the side of right, truths honesty, integrity and justice. In Philadelphia ne- groes met white men on a common platform and pro- per expression had been given to the Southern sentiment of their race. Henry Wilson Is as certain of the colored vote of the nation as if he was alread: elected. There has been no question in the Sout among the negroes as to their choice between Grant and Greeley. Any man who was in the Philadelphia Convention on Thursday last must have seen that Mr. Greeley is in fact wholly’ unknown to the colored men of the South, He, Greeley, cannot carry one State South, unless, perhaps, it be little Delaware, and the speaker was not quite sure that the white: coated philosopher could get away with that. E. D. Bundick, 8. Brown, W. Thompson and other colored gentlemen eulogized the administration and predicted an overwhelming mou Ey for U. 8. Grant and H. Wilson next November. The meeting broke up with cheers for the republican ticket. VIRGINIA. Greeley’s Cosignatory to the Jeff Davis Bail Bond Gocs Back on Him—His Letter to Colonel Mosby—Grant Will be Pre- ferred Before the Chappaqua Candidate, Ricumonp, Va., June 7, 1872. James Lyons, of this city, who was the personal friend of Jefferson Davis, and who, with Horace Greeley, was on the bail bond of Davis, has written along letter to Colonel Mosby, the guerrilla chief, in which he agrees with the latter in his opposition to Greeley, and uses the strongest arguments against the support of Greeley as a Presidential candidate by the South. Mr. Lyons, who ts one of the most im- practicable of Southern Bourbons, concluded his letter as follows: Iwill not vote for Grant if I can avoid it, if lam not forced to choose between him and Greeley; but between them I will vote for him. Although he went into the war and fought it out, and by the aid of foreign levies conquered the South and sup- pressed the constitution, yet he did not, like Greeley, labor for twenty ‘years to get it up, and then stay at home to fan and urge the fame.’ We know, too, the worst of Grant's administration; it is past. If there be any returning sense of jnstice in the republicans they will do us that justice— even if Grant be President and controlling Con- gress, and will prevent further mischief. If they will not they are unfit to be trusted with the government under any President. Of Greeley we know only that he ts devoid of all capacity as a statesman; that he has been the advocate of almost every disorganizing absurdity which has annoyed the country and disturbed its peace; that he has been consistent in nothing but is enmity to the South; that with him he will bring in men as hungry and as unprincipied as him- self, with Sumner at the head, I, for one, will never vote for him; and I trust the Baltimore Convention will nominate some man for whom we can all vote, and not commit what Senator Ferry properly cali “midsummer madness.’ Allow me to add that I think there ought to be a mass meeting of the dem- ocratic party of the State to appoint delegates to Baltimore, and I hope that you and other promi- nent democrats, who are well known to the party and have its conflaence, will call it. BELMONT ON GREELEY. {From the Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.), June 6.] c INNATI, June 5, 1872, To THE EpiTor OF THE ENQUIRER :— In view of the unfriendly comments and unjust aspersions indulged in recently by Western papers of August Belmont, I have obtained his permission to publish the following letters, written me by him as of their respective dates, ©, W. WOOLLEY. MR, BELMONT’S LETTERS. LONG ISLAND, May 21, 1872, My Dear Sir—Your kind letter of the 17th inst. reached me here, and in reply I beg to express to you my warm thanks forthe flattering confidence which you manifest for my jndgment and sincerity of purpose, I may err in my appreciation of the dificulties Which surround us, but I can say with- out egotism that 1 imerit your good opinion as to the i of my intentions, So much am [impr with the fatal conse- 8 in store for our common country by ction of Grant that I would willingly vote for my deadliest enemy in order to prevent such a catastrophe. The nomination of Greeley is one of those stupendous mistakes which itis dimcult even to comprehend, but tt is now an accomplished fact and we have to deal with it as best we can, [take it for granted that all thinking men have come to the conclusion by this time that the nomination of a straight democratic ticket at Baltimore will elther elect Grant by the people, in case of Greeley’s with- drawal, or throw the election into the House if Greeley should stand, and then also Grant will be sure to be elected, If the Convention can be got to nomindte Greeley at Baltimore with anything like unanimity the large body of the democratic party throughout the country will vote for him, and we shall have enough republican votes to make the election more than probable, even if we should lose one-tenth of our vote by defection and apathy. Whether this nomination can be brought about remains a serious question, andIam not able to form a judgment on this point at this early day, At present many leading men and party organs, esides a very large portion of the German vote, opposed to him. Between now and 9th of July Greeley’s strength must show an in- crease or decline, and it will then be for our Con- | vention to adopt what course may be wisest. Though he is to me the most objectionable person whom the liberals could select, still Lam decidedly of the opinion that our best policy will be to en- dorse the Cincinnati platform and ticket. This ts the general feeling in this State, and our delega- tion to Baltimore ts, by a large majority, composed of Greeley men. As our delegation votes as a unit, you may set the vote of New York down almost certain for area, I was not at Rochester, and have been left off the list of delegates, most prob- ably on account of the hostile position of the World and Staats ung against the Cincinnati nominees, as the delegation Bpaoeety was selected with but that one idea of making it sure for Greeley, A most absurd story has for years past been started and generally credited, that 1 am @ large share- holder in the World and control its tendencies. 1 have never held a single share in it and do not ex- ercise any influence over its editorials, Should circumstances shape themselves so that the lib- erals desert the Cincinnati ticket, then I that the choice may fall on Groesbeck.

Appointment of Delegates at Large to Balti- more—A Squabble Over the Instructions— ‘Whother to Vote for Greeley or a Straightout Democrat. New OR.Eans, June 7, 1872. Upwards of seventy country delegates held wt caucus this morning, and resolved to oppose the | action of the Conference Committee. All these favor a coalition with the liberal repablicans, end their contemplated action in to-day’s session created much excitement, Tho Convention was called to order punctually at cleven o'clock, and opened, a usual, with per- sonal explanations, The regular order of business was then plunged into, and a formidable list of candidates for delegates at large to the Bal- timore Convention were put in nomination. Of these the following were selected -—Messrs. H. D. Ogden, H. F. Sturken, J. S. Ashton, T. B. Tompkins, J. M. Sandidge and Emil A. Resto, Some squab- bling then took place in regard to raising funds necessary to defray incurred expenses, in which both economy and impecuntosity were developed, The question of instructing the Baltt more delegates to oppose any nominations and seconding the support of Greeley and Brown then came up, creating great disturbance. It was met with vigorous filibustering, but it finally rode out the storm, and was fairly placed before the Con- vention through the determined efforts of Greeley’s friends. The first speech made was tn favorofGreele: and developed about an equally divided sentiment in regard to instructing delegates, Ogden, one of the delegates just el pd, said he would net go to Baltimore if instruc Several other fiery orators now struggled for the floor, but ex-Governor Wick- liff succeeded, and made a strong speech against instru ug the delegates, He assailed both Grant and peley, and said the democratic party was now more necessary to the country’s salvation hat hung Mrs. Surratt dared not hang Jef Davis. At this point a delegate arose, amid profound silence, and asked Governor Wickliffe who was chiefly instrumental in hanging Mrs, Suratt. “The tribunal which convicted her, [ suppose,” he responded. “No one,” said the delegate, de- Weare Sey (sake 4 his finger at him. our own brother-in-law, Joe Holt, hung her.” The incident created a profound sensation, but Wickliffe bore up against it, manfully hurrying his speech to a conclusion, He was followed by another speaker, who ridiculed the idea of democrats rejecting coali- tions with republicans, charging that the best men of the State—life-long democrats—had often voted for rep He arged the Convention with prostituting the purpose for which it had been called; that the country dele- gates came for the purpose of effecting some coal! tion by which the State might bs redeem red of defeat, and begged th E blindly rushing on to destru tion. Several other speakers followed, the general tenor of whose speeches were adverse to Greeley, and tn favor of a straight out nomination at Baltimore; and the sentiment of the con- vention was evidently being carried with them. Resolutions and s titutes were now offered, until the Chair became lost in a pariia- mentary wilderness, out of which it was suddenly lifted about four o'clock by a sudden adjournment of the Baltimore delegates. As a completion, eleven favored the endorsement of Greeley and five the nomination of a straight ticket. THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS. aii SEES te CuicaGo, June 7, 1872, The Tribune this morning says of the result of the Philadelphia Convention that the nomination of Grant was so universally expected that the an- nouncement of the fact failed to excite the least comment. The nomination of Wilson, it says, was @ Surprise to a few, but not to the many who have known that Mr. Colfax had long since been re- garded with dislike by the Grant fac- tion, It then proceeds to review Wilson's political history, especially his connection with the old Know-Nothing party, and con- cludes the article as follows :— This ticket presents all the evils of the Grant administration, and, as if the hates, prejudices, bitterness, proscription and disfranchisements of the la years were not rate fel there has been revived the old and most senseless of all hates and prejudics ‘the proscrip- tion of naturalized citizens, and thetr political dis. franchisements in the addition to the ticket of Mr. Henry Wilson, the, at- one time, high priest of nativism in the United States.” The platform, it says, declares in favor of all the measures which the Administration party in Con- gress have opposed. The tariff’ resolutions, it argues, are In the interest of protection, and mean that the President will veto any ‘repeal of taxes levied for the protection of monopolies. The Times says the nomination of Grant was quite @ matter of course, simply through his con- trol of party machinery, And that the nomination | of Wilson was owing to influences which considera- tions of fitness formed no part, Colfax being im- measurably his superior in every-qualification for the position.
