When the managers have their arrangements and the dra- tio agencies are deserted the Dictionary is at jonce ransacked for high-sounding adjectives, ‘and banners are hung on the outer walls (fences and brick piles) announcing to the the countless wonders in store for amusement pugic, from the opera down to the cheap yarioty. There is no stint of pees no matter how exaggerated their form, for the managers think that a few weeks’ Rojourn in the country renders their patrons good-natured and credulous enough to swal- jlow a poster or prospectus as easily as an ana- ‘eonda Would a rabbit; but there are limits ven. to. the indulgence of a public, and the promises of managers have been too often /**roken to the ear’ to be relied upon. If we Jake the past seasons of opera, for instance, we find a lamentable discrepancy between the romises of an impresario and the actual of the season. The ‘magnificent com- of artists of high European renown’’ Awindles down toa prima donna and a crowd “voiceless people, who endeavor with repre- ible industry to mar the efforts of the ‘*‘star,”’ And here, we may remark, is the whief evil of the star system.

Such a wretch was on Fri- day brought before the sitting magistrate at ra Tomb ployed by one of the ce HA or depot as baggage r, and was caught having the property of ponkgioca carried to hisown house. He was jheld for trial, and if the evidence sustains the charge we anticipate for him the full measure prt punishment by law for such case made and ‘provided. Public sentiment will applaud the \Sudge who shall sentence the miscreant toa Jong term in the State Prison, and no plea for merey will satisfy the po 1 feeling in regard ito the man who could be guilty of such con. #emptible meanness of crime. If any class in the community needs protection the new- Janded poor are that class, and the cldim is fully recognized and responded to by-our citi- wens. To steal from them is like filching pen- ‘nies from the blind fiddler’s cup. No legal ‘dividuals before whose wills so large a portion of Europe bows are preparing to have a jolly time at Berlin on Thursday mext. Fétes and shows of the glittering pyro- technic and military erder will woo them into 's sense of their magnificence, and p: \them for the friendly chat which is to follow, ‘whereat all Europe will stand agape. It is too ‘bad that the respective heads of the houses of Romanoff, Hapsburg and Hohenzollern cannot meet for a little jollification without every ‘diplomatic eye being turned on them. It is too bad; but being precisely done for offect, ‘our pity does not run very deep. Apropos of this meeting, an Italian comic paper publishes ‘tw cartoon representing a design for a bust of ‘the conference. It has one neck and three faces, which are excellent likenesses of the three Emperors, merging into one large forehead surmounted by an imperial crown. #The satirical point of the design is that the ibust has only four eyes, Francis Joseph of ‘Austria, whose face is the centre one, being ‘obliged to depend on Alexander of Russia for this right eye, and on William of Prussia for ‘his left. Poor Austria! Tae Cones mv Coan On.—Unwarned by ‘the deserved fate of the contrivers of other ‘corners, the oil producers of Western Pennsyl- vania have combined to compass a scarcity in coal oil, with a view to carry up the price. ‘Various owners of oi] wells and lands have Joined in a pledge not to extend their opera- tions beyond a certain limit, whereby it is in- fended to check what to their eyes appeared a lisposition to over-production of this great staple article of universal consumption. It is obvious that the public, which so largely de- pends upon the flow of the Oil Creek wells for light, will see the matter in quite the opposite pspect. They will not at all approve tlie pros- pect of paying twice or thrice the present cost of oil to enhance the profits of the monopo- lista, and itis more than probable that the \greed of the latter will defent their designs. ‘Advancing prices will stimulate search, and in all likelihood other sources of supply will be be found from which oil will be put on the market at rates below those exacted by the combination, and thus produce a rivalry which will be sure to benefit the public, while it will Jessen the enormous gains of the oil well owners, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Among the departures on Saturday for Enopre by the steamer Republic was Colonel William D, Mann, for many years the proprietor and manager of the Mobile Daily Regteter, one of the oldest and most influential journals of the South.

The Liberal Organization To Be Continued--- Bourbonism To Be Buried. SKETCHES OF THE DELEGATES. Lovisviie, Ky., Sept. 1, 1872, One of the leading persons who have come to Blanton Duncan's Convention is William Corry, of Cincinnat. This man suggests the oft-remarked similitude between the extreme abolitionist of other days tn the North and the last Bourbons of their time holding over in the South. He is weak- eyed and light-eyed, with a yellow complexion, and with dry, black, long hair, which hangs over thin, sloping shoulders, He is full of an extraordinary sort of talk, which runs into A KIND OF CRADBED PHILOSOPHY. He believes that John (. Calhoun was the great- est American, and that Calhoun was the political child of John Randolph, of Virginia, whom he holds to have been @ profounder statesman than Adam Smith. In Corry’s mind free trade, State rights, revolution, slavery an‘ all the obnoxious princi- ples of the feudal system make a kind of political gospel, which he calls by the name of conservative Uberty. He publishes & newspaper galled the Commoner, of sparse circulation, which is chiefy noteworthy for its wild sentiments and irreconcilable politics. Compared with Brick Pomeroy, Corry ia a gentleman in education and association. He is a man of great reading and of some ingenuity in mechanics, as well as in political argumentation ; but any journalist who had been in the habit twenty years of attending abolition Gonyenticles can recognize in Corry precisely that oid typ& bf Norther teformers who have been engaged since slavery has been extirpated in abusing each other after the fashion of Wendell Philips on Garrison and Garrison on Greeley. Supreme vanity, obstinacy and opima- tiveness constitute the backbone of these people. They are long-winded and rattle off history, morals, predestination, &c., with a sort of wild facility which sometimes startles young aud undisciplined listeners. The truest man in any sense that will be at the Convention will probably be Corry. His newspaper has a small circulation through Ken- tucky, Tennessee and the Gulf States, and is read chiefly by old gentlemen who lost their hundred ne- groes, and think Providence abdicated some years ago. People who hold that whatever is is wrong will make THE HONEST PART OF DUNCAN'S CONVENTION, and tho rest will be of a cheap and timid kind. Ferry, of Michigan, who 1s here, appears to be @ ‘yeak and soft kind of run-down man of no par- ticular value. Alihis family are extreme republl- cans and prosperous people, while he is weak and seedy-looking, and is the natural prey of such agi- tators as Duncan. A great deal of betting is going on after the Kentucky fashion, for Kentucky is like Mark Twatn’s man in the story of the jumping frog, and will bet on anything, even on which oftwo birds will fly off the fence first. One of Grant's mercenaries proposed yesterday to bet that Tilinois would give a greater majority for Grant than Missouri for Greeley. An old plaster-like looking man, who was ready to,bet on anything, exclaimed :— nh “I won’t bet on that!” “Why?” says the other, = “Because you only have to send your Grant volets out of Missouri, where they are of no good, over into Illinois, just as the Grant people here are send- ing the negroes out of Kentucky, where they can acoomplish uothing, to vote in Indiana, and that is what you are betting on.” The true agitator o1 the Straight-out Convention will be Giver P, Morton, who arrives at New Albany to-morrow noon, aud stays there about forty hours, with the telegraph wires in the hotel in connection with Louisville, THE SCENE AROUND THE GALT HOUSE this morning is of @ quaint and curious character. In one spot can be seen a rough Kentuckian, who has never been to school, eel on horseback, with a shot gun in his hand, looking up in an ad- miring sort of a way and with perfect honesty at some lon; yee TO from Central Indiana, who has been half a dozen times to the Legisla- ture, crammed with 2 kind of voracious gasconade, which he discharges at the aforesaid Kentuckian. The latter looks up with delight and reverence, and returns to his neighbors perfectly satisfied that in gopoain Greeley he ts keeping the fires of liberty lighted. Tobacco juice discharged over the rim of the spittoons is the accompani- ment of every political asseveration. Duncan him- self comes in, perhaps, after a time, alighting from A singular description of basket pancios, which he drives around town with a red siipper on one foot, dressed in white flannel kept over from last year. He gesticulates as if the destinies of the country were in his hands. Even our young Kentuckian aforesaid presently discovers that Duncan is a blatherskite and the old Bourbons are Jor the same reason @ good deal discomfited to Qnd that this person is master of ceremonies. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN KENTUCKY is headed by several very able and nay nave gen oyeie we yy Way of Jeffersonville. tlemen. None of these are known to have given any aid or comfort to Mr. Duncan’s show. Being his townsmen they refuse even for political intents to be bored by him. His Northern abettors live in Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. IP GREELEY SHOULD BE DEFEATED in November it will become a serious question as to what attitude the democratic party will take. The old school politicians will probably at once denounce and propose to separate from the Greeley element, The Greeley faction, composing most of the newspapers in the State and nearly the whole of the democracy here, will accept the com- bat and respond in terms:—We are willing to let the repnblicans take the State, and we prefer that they should do so ratner than Bourbonize our- selves, The Greeley democrats will at once push for general education in the State, and deciare war upon the Cavalier qualifications, such as duelling, street fighting, &c. There is no considerable man in Kentucky who has not shaken off the dust of old traditions from his feet and declared for a civiliza- tion harmonious with the rest of the country. It is astonishing here to see the perfectly companionable Telations existing between three dai papers. omy 1 gets from $5,000 bE worth of government printing, is edited by Colonel Kelly, a stout republican, and yet he receives from ‘the ih, even from the conservative Ledger, fair treatment and good words. A news- paper here alleges that no paper in Louisville could make any money until competition was established, The Greeley movement has been a ee re in this respect, that it has thoroughly LIBERALIZED THE MASS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY in the border South. The lottery system of Ken- tucky would have expired some time ago but for the mistaken zeal of the iriends of the Louisville Public Library, who were enabied to raise funds to build the institution by receiving several lottery PE ip from the State Legisiature. They have a scheme legalized, and yet it is refreshing fo sce that the library had made nearly a6 man encmies as friends by this method, and througnow the State there is a large element invincibly repug- nant to the whol ster tem. INDEPRNDENT TIOKETS set up inst the politicians are being ran throng ‘Tennessee and Kentucky, and generally sucteéd in breaking down the caucus tickete, [t would therefore seem that everything is ripe in this part of the country for a new reform part; which shall extirpate the democratic and republi! can organizations and which will forget the war and 1 the principles which led to it, Both McOreery id Stevenson, the United States Senators, are anch for Greeley, and every Con; an in the State, including Proctor Knott, who lost the nom!- nation D4 Bro} sting against the Greeley move- ment.

As an interesting feature of the Louisville Convention, I may mi that one E. N. Hill, of Little Rock, Ark., arrived this morning in the cfty, and is chairman of the Arkansas delegation. He was at once arrested by Police Detective Bly for OBTAINING MONRY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES, The cnaege — him was made by Arthur Petery & Co, druggists, of Louisville. wha nad NEW YORK AERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2% 1872—TRIPLE SHEET, been endeavor for some time to get said Hill into the Munmaiotion of the State, in order t recover the at alleged ‘Sei af Fat Grea cowepapere hat a ry eens hae. tS wae on, Ria wag distinguished statesman. ion wis dol having suct movem im question posted eine Galt Hae, and lt had scare been all ee the ent bat more worldly pre ter bearing than seems DO way to sneak iis an he an They have aerate ith any head to-day wi Erin, Mich.

He was unable to stay away from Louisville When he heard of the Convention about to assem- ble. He came here some two weeks in advance and put up at one of the hotels. After he had been on the premises about two weeks THR PROPRIETOR SENT IN HIS BILL. Cummings said he was himself short of funds, but would take the bill over to Blanton Duncan, and no doubt he would have it cashed. He re- turned in a few minutes very disconsolate. Dun- can would advance seeped bet opinions, and would not cash anything whatever. The proprietor then took Cummings’ key away from him and bid him an affectionate adieu. Cummings continues to remain in these parts, expressing his opinion of Blanton Duncan, and Louisville enjoys itself over the episode. Amongst the rubicund and rotund ob- Jects to be seen at this free lunch is * QHAUNCEY BURR, OF NEW JERSEY. Burr's favorite attitude is leaning with one arm on the counter of the Galt House, looking up into the faces of visitors who enter their names in the register, as if he expected presently to be addressed by them.

Out of consider- ation for his feelings the Court adjourned until Monday, at eight o'clock, when it was proposed to continue the examination of Mr, Dye. Before leaving the court room Martin asked Mr. Dye to call at the jail that evening, as he wished to talk with him, That gentleman did so, and had an hour's conversation with the man whose hand waa yet red with the life blood of his sister. Martin did not attempt denying that he had married Mrs. rs in Lonoke, and that he had moved witi her to Lauderdale county. He gave a dozen different versions of the mufder, which he persisted in say- ing had been committed by another man, who waa @ stranger to him, His statements were all contra- dictions, one of the other, he never telling the same story twice, Before leaving the jail Mr. Dye was told by @ negro prisoncr that Martin had offered him $60 to get a prominent negro of the town to come and See him with a view of getting up a rescue. His reason for doing so was that he feared he would be mobbed that Saturday night. He also admitted to the nogro that he had murdered Mrs, Rogers, and said that he did it to get out of a bad box.

As the rising moon shed her first beams over the the nt forest trees, bathing all nature ued light, the masked men moved yet rapidly away. They went in a south- direction. Martin's voice was heard as ey Moved away beyging for his life. To his frantic, passionate appeals his cha returned low laughs of derision, similar, doubtless, to those with which he mocked his poor, innocent victim, as with one hand he fred the fatal shot while with the other he consigned her to a watery grave. After a half hour’s time the guard heard a volley of shots from the direction in which the party gone, They rightly judged that all was over.

We are indebted to Mr. Tones McAllister, of Col- Herville, for the particulars of a rather mysterious, high-handed and bloody transaction which took place in that vicinity on Monday last. The following are the particulars, as related by the above- named gentleman:—It appears that some time during the night of last Saturday a negro known in the neighborhood of Collierville as John Brown ‘was found, under plainly suspicious circumstances, concealed in a bedchamber in the house of Mr, James Abington, occupied as & sleeping apartment by some young ladies of his (Abington’s) house- hold. He was promptly arrested and ed in jail. The next morning being the Sabbath no further or immediate steps were taken in the mat- ter, it being considered that, the bird being caged, he was in perfect safe keeping. Thus matters remained until Monday morning, when it was found that the prison doors were mys- teriously opened during Sunday night and the prisoner gone. Brown, not aving been ar- rested upon @ warrant, and not having been roperly ‘before the law, it became a question n the minds of the authorities what were the next roper steps to Rates. While this matter was Botug. agitated a Iittle boy appeared upon the scene and stated that a dying man wasin a patch of woods situated about a quarter of @ mile southeast ofthe town. Parties immediately meee, to the spot indicated and found that the ng man was the prisoner of the day beiore, with his head bear- ing unmistakable marks of his having been badly beaten, and in an iusensible condition. He was im- mediately carried in a wagon to his wife's rest- dence, where he expired in a few moments, without having uttered a word. A jez was then called, an inquest a verdict rendered “that the deceased, John Brown, came to his death from blows from some hard _sub- stance in the hands of parties unknown.” Upon the verdict being made public the excitement of the negroes became intense and threats became rife that the parties in whose custody the jail keys were kept stood in danger of being lynched. How- ever, on the early up train Tuesday morning the Deputy United States Marshal, in company with several officers of the Colored Benevolent ety, arrived and immediately proceeded to arrest Mr, James Abington. The negroes then procured horses and started some miles into the country, where, without the shadow of authorit; they en- deavored to compel Mr. James To! 8, & black- smith, who hi ned to be in that locality on business, to return to town with them, After a great deal of explanation on the art of Mr. Tom. ins they to release him.
