Mr. George Bancroft, the American Minis- ter to Germany, has received the congratula- tions of a large number of his countrymen on ‘the decision of Emperor William in the case. Diplomatist Delight Over the Decisive Result. BERLIN, Oct, 25, 1872, ‘His Excellency Mr. Odo Russell, Ambassador of ‘Great Britain at the Court of His Majesty Emperor ‘William of Germany, made s special call on the Hon, George Bancroft, Minister of the United States, im this city during the evening hours of yesterday. Congratulations were exchanged by the diploma- tists upon the subject of the termination of the long-standing San Juan boundary dispute by the pronouncement of His Majesty Emperor William of his decision, as arbitrator, to the peoples and ‘Cabinets of England and America. ORDIAL COMMUNION FOR THE REMOVAL OF IRRI- TATING CAUSES. The most cordial feeling was exhibited by both “of the Ambassadors during their conversation. Mr. Odo Russell said to Mr. Bancroft that “the Jast cause for difficulty between England and America had been removed, and that henceforth peace and friendship would prevail between the two nations.”” Comment and Cavil of the British Met- ropolitan City Press. Lonpon, Oct. 25, 1872. ‘The award which has been declared by His “Majesty the Emperor of Germany in the San Juan *oundary arbitration case is severely commented on ‘by some of the London journals in their issue to-day, The London Times, this morning, says:—‘The decision of the Emperor William of Germany on the San Juan boundary question is unsatisfactory, unclear and indecisive, but we accept it with loyal submissiveness,’? The London Times adds, in conclusion:—“We wepudiate utterly the absurd and baseless charge that Engiand intrigued at Berlin with a view of ‘modifying the judgment of the Emperor.” The London Post considers the award as dam- aging to the interests and diplomatic reputation of England, as was the award of the Geneva Tribunal. “It gives,” saya the Post, “the key to British ‘Columbian waters to the United States. This set- ‘tlement of the question hardly tends to improve ‘the relations now existing between England and America.” The Telegraph and News—the latter Premier Gladstone's organ—reserve their criticisms.

The question of enforcing the Sunday Liquor law is an absorbing one just now among both friends and opponents of the law. Last evening there was a large meeting of Germans at the Twelfth street Turner Hall, and resolutions were passed condemn- ing the lawasarelic of Puritanism and an in- fringement of the constitutional rights of citizens; declaring they would oppose it and use all means to secure its repeal; requesting the Mayor to suspend the enforcement of the law until the organization of the new Common Council, and pledging themselves to support no candidates for State, county or city offices who are not known to favor similar views on the subject. Speeches in accordance with the spirit of the resolutions were made by Francis Lockner, the President of the North American Turner Bund; Emil Dietsch and other prominent Germans. There were also several meetings of temperance men in different quarters of the city, which were addressed by Rev. Robert Collyer, Kev. Mr. Park- hurst, Rev. W. A.

HIS LETTER OF EXPLANATION.. He Pretends to Have Com- mitted Suicide. From $10,000 to $30,000 De- falcation. Ricamonn, Oct. 25, 1872, Financial and commercial circies are violently agitated here to-day, and, indeed, the entire com- munity has been excited, over the mysterious dis- S@ppearance of William R. Teller, the paying teller of the Virginia State Bank, under circumstances both paintul and startling, Upon the arrival of Mr. John M. Goddin, the cashier, at the bank this morning, instead of finding the paying teller at his post of duty he was handed the KEYS OF THE VAULT, together with a note, of which the following is an extract, private matters and names being lett out :— RICHMOND, Va., Oct, 24, 1872, Mr, J. M. GoppIn, Cashier :— When you read this letter I shall be dead, Ican- net live and face the world with the terrible black atain upon me. I care leas for myself than for those who jiove me. The checks in my drawer represent the deficit in my cash and were cashed by me for . He will tell you that I never received or was furnished one cent for the use of the money. He first overchecked and made his account good by the Mer- chants’ National Bank. They were re- turned from time to time, and [ was weak enough to be persuaded he would yet make them good. My life insurance and his real estate will more than pay this. His real estate specula- tion was entered to repay me, but he has failed to sell aa yet, checks on HAD 1 REMAINED ALIVE Ishould have made all things right by November 1. To you, John, I must say that Iam loth to leave this world without arranging my affairs better; but if you have any charity or feeling try and re- gard me not asa thief, but a weak, erring man. [ do not wish to be buried, but rather hope my body will never be re- covered; and now let me say the last I shall ever write. Before God, I have never wronged or rather defrauded the bank out of one dollar for my own use or benefit. Lhe “short” is the debt of others, from whom I never received one dime. This you can easily prove. May God forgive me, for kuow you never can. Yours, &c., rs WILLIAM R, TELLER. Almost with the speed of electricity the news spread over the city, and the frst impulse of the bank officers, among whom Mr. Teller was a great favorite, was, if possible, to prevent his self- destruction, or, if that had been accomplished, to discover his body. Simultaneously, however, with the announcement of his defalca- tion came the report that Mr. Teller had been seen taking the train at the Petersburg depot going South this morning at half-past five o’clock. This fact being established the public appetite for news concerning the amount Of the defaication and its accompanying details became sharpened, but the officers of the bank were reticent, and no information of an authentic character could be gained. The most sensational rumors were afloat, and for a time A RUN UPON THE BANK WAS FEARED, though its solvency is unquestionable. It transpired that the paying telier had issued a large number of certified checks for which there were no funds in the bank, and, by advice of counsel, the bank re- fused to pay any more of its checks of this charac- ter until the accounts and books of the absconding teller were examined. An investigation was at once instituted by the direc- tors of the bank, and it was found that funds to the amount of $10,000 were missing and a large number of checks were ' still outstanding and paid at other banks. The defalcations began about the 6th of the present month, and, as Mr, Teller states in his letter, the Tenney wee all paid to one of his friends, who was speculating largely in real estate, and who, had he been successful, wouid have realized @ handsome fortune. Nothing has been heard of Teller since he was seen ing South this morning, though the police have been energetically telegraphing in every direction all lay. He is a young man of respectable family, good connections and excellent standing in society, and in his misfortune has the yay of a great portion of the community. Some parties estimate the defalcation at $30, and over that, but I think this is an exaggeration. NATIONAL UNITARIAN CONFERENCE. + The New Council Elected—The Bible Re- jected in Educational Establishments and Publie Schools. Boston, Mass., Oct. 25, 1872. The National Unitarian Conference to-day elected the following officers:—President, Ebenezer Rock- wood Hoar, of Concord, Mass.; Vice Presidents, George William Curtis, of New York; Daniel L. Shorey, of Chicago; Geo. Partridge, of St. Louis; Jos. H. Choate, of New York; Seth Padeiford, of Provi- dence; Onslow Stearns, of Concord, N. H.; General Secretary, Rev.

Heywood, of Louisville; Dorman B, Eaton, of New York; Charles E. Stevens, of Ware, 8. On recommendation of the committee the constt- tution was amended so that one-half of the council shall consist of new members each year, one-half of the members annually retiring. * The relation between é mae and religious edu- cation was the subject of an elaborate essay by the Rev. James De Normandie, of Portsmouth, N. H, ‘The speaker advocated neither a Papal nor a Prot- estant system of education, but a combination of both—broader and more extended than either. He was opposed to the use of the Bible in the pub- lic schools and thought that. Lage aa training be- Lease va to the Sunday school alone, and that no public funds should be expended for sectarian edu- cation. The essay was supplemented with the fol- lowing resolutions, which were adopted :— Whereas, the American idea of public education is that the child of every citizen shall be provided with the best opportunities for an education the States can afford, a cording to the views of its best educators; and where: the laws of the land, expressly tixed in the constit tion of the States and of the nation, the government has no right to force upon the citizen or his children religious in- struction contrary to his conscience ; therefore, esolved, That no obstacle ermitied ‘to remain which shall deprive any child of the grandest means of being moulded into American life, ved, That we resist to the ‘uttermost any attempt to use one cent of the public funds for any denomina- tional or sectarian purposes. Resolved, ‘That. while yielding to no body of religions worshippers in our reverence jor the Bible and our grateful acceptance of the truth it contgins, and :com- Inending it to every one’s study, we, neveFthelgss, would not insist upon it as an essential ‘or useful public school system.

Bismarck on the Commercial Policy of France. The recently published Red Book of Austria con- tains the text of Prince Bismarck’s despatch of April 26, 1872, in relation to the action of the Austro-Hungarian government upon the proposi- tion of France for a modification of the Franco- Austrian Treaty of Navigation of December 11, 1866, and of Tariff A of the Treaty of Commerce of {the same date. The following synopsis of the de- spatch is furnished by Mr. Elliott, Acting Chief of the Bureau of of Statistics:— The German Chancellor expresses his warm in- terest in the communication wherein Austria an- nounced that she had, for general reasons rather than from considerations affecting her own in- terests, declined to accede to the French proposi- tion. He regards this action of the Austro-Hun- garian government as of great value to Germany and other European States, for the reason that the treaties which France in this case proposes to modify continue in force until 1876, a longer period than the similar treaties of France with Suny. other country have to run. So long as these treaties with Austria are in force the rights therein guar- anteed to that Power will be enjoyed by all_coun- tries which are entitled to be treated by France on the same footing as the most favored nation. These treaties were part of a liberal commercial system which France nee she credit of initiating. If the present retrogratie movement of that country should result in restoring the ob- structions to freedom of commercial intercourse which had been swept away, new industrial interests based on those very ovstructions would soon appear, and these would lend their power to prevent a return to a liberal commercial policy. “It is therefore,’ says the Chancellor, “the com- mon interest of all the European States that the commercial treaties concluded by France at a former period shall remain in force until public opinion in France nas overcome the now prevail- ing inclination in favor of a protective tariff. * * It is to be looked on as a fortunate circum- stance for the commercial development of Europe that the government of the State to which the Present situation has accorded so‘decisive an in- fluence on the politico-commercial development of Europe clearly recognizes the obligation this situa- tion imposes and is ready to discharge it.’ Homicide in the Capital. During the present month three persons have been convicted in the Criminal Court on the charge of murder, twoof whom are under sentence of death, and two or three other persons sentenced to the Penitentiary for manslaughter.

If the goods exceed $500 in value and their release is not approved the Collector is to report them for libel to | the District Attorney; but if they do not exceed $500 in value, apd if they are not released to the owner, they should be advertised and sold, ana the claimant notified of his right to contest the for- feiture on the conditions specified in section 12 of the act of July, 1866, Transportation Bonds.

A Disgracefal Condition of Adnirs Congressman Shoemaker’s Al- leged Manipulations. How Money Was Offered for Venal Pur- poses Before the Election. —_— Judge Hoyt, Gaines Miller and Other Republi- cans Implicated by Direct Testimony. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 25, 1872. ‘The’ enthusiastic Beamish, of Scranton, appears determined to carry out his programme of prosecu- ttons tor alleged violations of the election laws at the recent election. It will be remembered that shortly after the counting of the votes in Luzerne county Beamish entered charges of bribery and Corruption against Congressman elect D. L. Shoe- maker, Judge Hoyt, Collector of Internal Revenue and Chairman of the Republican County Committee ; G, M, Miller, Collector of Taxes; 0, T. Gaines, As- sesaor for Pittston; ex-Mayor Monies and Joseph Siocum, Postmaster at Scranton. Monies and Slo- cum appeared before Alderman Philbin in answer to the summons on Wednesday, the 16th inst., but owing to a deficiency ‘in the testimony they were acquitted. Every body interested in politics at once became doubt- ful whether the other gentlemen alluded to would ever be brought to trial. On the 23d inst., how- ever, it was apparent another move was on the tapis. When the Alderman’s Court opened, Palmer, Shoemaker's counsel, stated that he didn’t believe his client would put in an appearance; but the counsel engaged for the prosecution demanded that the case against the defendants should be proceeded with and the Court so ordered. Con- sequentiy the re-elected member of Congress had to be sent for, and, without that kind of coercion supposed to be inherent in @ bench warrant, Promptly appeared and took his place near his legal defender, After considerable consultation between the accused and counsel (Shoemaker be- img a lawyer of some importance), they intimated their readiness to go on with the case. CORCORAN COMES TO THE POINT. The first witness was one Patrick Corcoran, a judge of election at Scranton, who tn a lengthy statement deposed that while at Shoemaker’s office, in this city, afew days before election, the latter offered him a $10 bill, which he took from his pocket in his presence; promised him more if he would roll him up a majority in the Twelfth ward of Scranton, where there were but six or seven republicans out of 250 voters, and was sur- prised that some of his agents had not seen him (Corcoran) before. He was subsequentiy offered $175 to make the majority for Shoemaker sure in his district. Michael Judge, an inspector of the Twelfth ward and Third district of Scranton, who was present at the interview between Shoemaker and Corcoran, testified that the Congressman offered them each $10, at the same time asking them to keep the money for a time as it might be traced as coming from his bank, Miller, he stated, met him at Hyde Park subsequently and offered him $50 to keep down the vote or make the seven republican balance the 250 democratic votes; and one John Stewart, of Lackawanna, he alleged, offered to pay him $125 for the same purpose. Corcoran, on being recalled, created a sensation. He averred that Shoemaker said to him, “Couldn’t you manage to balance the vote in counting the tickets ;”” that Stewart told him he “could fix the votes in counting them and give a majority for Shoemaker as large as he wanted to; and, sud- denly brightening up, as if moved by some mys- terious force, he said, piece “I told Stew- art that it would look very badiy to give Shoe- maker & majority where there were but six or seven votes.” Humphrey Bradley, Daniel Lundy, Patrick Smith, Michael Murray, James Kilgallon, Christopher Eckhart, William Burke, James Mul- Un, Thomas Sultry and others testitied at great jength to about the same effect, ORD impli- cate the defendants in violation of the election law. Mullin swore that a gentleman came to him Scranton and OFFERED HIM $1,500 if he would keep the vote of the Second ward of that city even for Shoemaker. Thus far the investigation did not partake of the character of the political joke it was at first said to be; and yesterday there was considerable uneasiness manifested at the nasty turn matters had taken. When the justice opened Court, at two o'clock, reeereay, the chief defendants, Messrs. Shoe- maker, Hoyt and Gaines, appeared in person, ‘The trio seemed less concerned in the business of the day than many of the idlers in Court, and certainly less interested than certain office-holders of the district whose names may be mentioned hereafter. On motion a postponement was ordered in the cases of Shoemaker and Miller, and an in- vestigation into the Cs against bg Hoyt and Gaines commenced. joyt acted as his own counsel, displaying a remarkable coolness consider- ing the circumstances and surroundings of the inquiry. DISGRACEFUL REVELATIONS. A machinist named James M. Harrigan at- tempted to crush him at a blow. He detailed several conversations with the judge before the election with relerence to an understanding that he was to ‘‘work” Blakeley township on the day of election and bribe the window men to give out Hartranit instead of Buckalew tickets; to act in Scranton as a general election cheat, and “work” the inspectors and joreee Moreover he swore that he had special interviews with Hoyt and Gaines touching the Minea'y $ he was to perpetrate ; that he took money to bind his bargains, receiving on one occasion trom Hoyt a letter containing A CHECK FOR FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS, which he was to deliver and did deliver to a gen- tleman in Scranton, who would deposit it for him (Harrigan) a8 @ guarantee of good iaith on the part of Hoyt & Uo., to be paid over when he had accomplished all he Promised to do. Alter “piling up the agony’ in this style for about an hour, and putting the accused judge vo considerable trouble in cross-examining him, he deliberately stated he had promised a thousand- fold more than he ever expected to perform, and that on the day of election, instead of attending to the business he had engaged in, feeling satistied that things were quietly going to the wwows, partly by the machinery he had assisted to set in motion, he went on @ spree, Nagin himself in about the manner Nero 1s said to have done after he had set fire to Rome. If the half uttered by this witness be true it will not only tend to convince eople of the utter recklessness of political parties in this section in all matters touching elections, but will also raise the question why such men as he are not spending their valuable time in the Penitentiary. The investigation has been adjourned to Thurs- day, October 31. In the meantime Hoyt has inti- mated that subpenas will be issued for Colone! H. B, Wright, the defeated candidate for Congressman at large, and several other prominent democrats. Should this move be succe: Heaven only knows what will yet be said and done before the Sth of November. COMMITTEE OF SEVENTY.
