————_—_— evening she did not appear, manifesting the same good sense in staying off the stage which she had shown in going on it. It was not the young girl so much as the gossip-mon- who committed the ‘unaccountable freak’ in the Cincinnati theatre. The stage is honorable, and though it has perils which are peculiarly its own, and offers at bestonly a hard life of hard work, it is not to be shunned on that account except by people who expect to find the dramatic profession all ease and honor. The début of young people is a thing to be preached against but not contemned; an aspiration to be discouraged on account of its risks and hardships, but to be honored when it is the result of a settled purpose, and, as was the-case with this Cincinnati lady, when it is made in the only way by which real excellence in dramatic art can be attained. Gessip of the Religious Press. The Observer wants to know how many pau- pers and criminals there are in New York, and quotes a contemporary who states that there “were ninety thousand men and women ar- rested and sent to prison in one year—that is, one-tenth of the entire population of the city were in prison.” At the same time there ‘were two hundred and fifty thougand men ‘and women who received public or private ‘eharity during the year—that is, more than one-fourth of the population are either in or on theiz way to the poorhouse.” The Ob- server regards such statements as only the careless and exaggerated utterances of sensa- tionalists, and proceeds to expose the fallacy of some of the popular impressions in relation to this subject. These impressions, it asserts, chiefly arise from a confusion of terms. It is B serious mistake to confound arrests and commitments. Of the arrests not more than sixty per cent become commitments. Accord- ng to this New York is not so bad a place ‘after all ; but this is no reason why the philan- thropists and pious people generally should oease in the noble efforts to keep the city as free from vice and pauperism as possible. The Golden Age tells all about ‘What it asks of the Republican party,’’ which may be enumerated briefly as follows:—1. A régime of honesty in all departments of the Federal government; 2. That the party in power shall express itself definitely concerning the one term doctrine; 3. That the new Congress shall devise a proper, wise, and final demarca- tion between the military and civil power; 4 ‘The establishing of a sharp boundary line be- tween national and State rights; and last, but hot least, woman suffrage. This is a very neat little programme.’ Whata pity itis the Golden Age is not in a position to carry it out. | The Mvangelist discourses upon the late elec- | tion, and exclaims:*-‘‘Let us give to our re- elected President a hearty, generous confi- dence, and trust that the four years to come will be like the past, ‘and much more abun- dontly’—years of peace and prosperity.” The Independent descants upon Parson Brownlow’s third term letter, and although it thinks it altogether too soon to discuss the question which refers to General Grant’s suc- pesgor until after the close of his second term, but says: — Ifhis second term should be what we expect and earnestly hope that it willbe, and if the popular pan Fe should at the proper time point to him e beat man for the place, for any reasons aris- ing from his ofticial conduct, or from the peculiar condition of the country, then the fact that he had ‘twice acceptably filled the Presidential ofice would ‘be no objection to his re-election for a third term. It is pretty clear that the way the Presi- dential cat will jump in 1876 is a question al being mooted in pious as well as in politica’ circles. The Christian Union is not at all startling this week, although the talfsmanic name of Henry Ward Beecher still flies at its masthead. The Catholic Review (Brooklyn) reminds its readers that at this period the annual collec- tion for the seminaries of Brooklyn is taken up in the churches of the diocese- a hint that no doubt will be improved by all the benevolent members of the churches. The Jewish Messenger is naturally indignant Decause at the tail of some advertisements in the daily papers the insulting phrase is attached, ‘Jews need not apply.”’ The Freeman's Journal treats of the canoni- zation of blessed Nicholas von Flue, ‘Devotion to the Vicar of Christ,”’ “The Folly of Falsifi- cation” and other matters, in its usual vigor- ous strain. . The Jewish Times defends the Hebrew faith with its accustomed ability. . The Tablet (Catholic) warms itself into quite ® pleasant mood while discussing some theo- logical points with the Hzraxp, which both courts and accepts any challenge to argue im- portant topics in a friendly spirit. Our country religious contemporaries pre- sent no unusually interesting features this week. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Congressman John Lynch, of Maine, is at the St. Nichoias Hotel. The Grand Duchess Constantine, of Russia, will pase the Winter at Nice, Italy. General N. B. McLaughlin, of the United States Army, is in quarters at the Astor House. David A.

He has consented to preside at the annual speech-day of the Derby school this month, and to distribute the prizes. The high honors lately gained at the universities by former pupils of this school have influenced the Prince to extend to the school these marks of his favor. The Shah of Persia will arrive in Europe next Spring. He will frst visit the Russian Court at St. /Peteraburg, from thence pass on to Berlin, after which he will proceed to London. He will paya visit to France also, and will go to Vienna at the time of the Universal Exhibition there. The Emperor of Austria has invited him to be present, and a special envoy will start from Vienna to Teheran shortly, bearing the official invitation. Sir Frederick Henry Vane brings suit against his nephew, Sir Henry Raiph Vane, to recover the family estate, on the ground that Sir Francia Fletcher Vane, brother of the plaintitf and father ofthe defendant, was illegitimate, having had the misfortune to be born a few weeks prior to the marriage of his father and mother, in 1797, Fraud is alleged in altering parish records, so that the plaintiff was deceived into the belief that his eldest brother was legitimate. An extensive display of cupboard skeletons is anticipated. The plaintiff has been forty years an officer in the Twelfth Lancers. The annual rentals of the Vane estate are stated to exceed fifty thousand dollars, so the lawyers will have something to work for. The Earl of Caithness, who is now in this city, Das devoted many years of his life to the study of making scientific discoveries of practical utility. He Was made & number of inventions, ameng them an improved mariners’ com- Pass, which he has with him, and will soon submit to the consideration of our government. Social science has also occupted his attention, and he has done much toward the perfecting of English fire departments. His views as to the proper organization of such bodics in this’country would be particularly interesting. While here his observations will, ef course, take the direction of our public projects, and he should be offered every attention and given every facility to procure in- formation concerning them, as is fitting to be ten- dered toward a practical man of great culture.

The app licant stated that he contemplated emi- grating to America, where his prospects would be injured should the summons remain in existence, Justice Quain, in reply to the application, denied that the petitioner would be reproached in America for his acts here, and expressed the opinion that instead thereof he was ‘more likely to be regarded in the United States as a martyr, and given a public dinner and other honors,”’ The Justice, in conclusion, refused to grant the application.

A boat belonging to the transport was capsized by the heavy sea while proceeding to the shore and ten persons were drowned. which will probably prove fatal; one in the leg and another in the hand. . irs. Martin’s refusing to live with her husband is alleged as the cause which led to the bloody work of yesterday. For several years past the two have failed to ‘ee a8 man and wife should, and some time ago Mrs. Martin went to live with her daugiiter, at the house in Fifty-first street, where the sad igh ig A was yesterday enacted. The exact cause of this estrangement does not appear, the family maintaining A RIGID RETICENCE in relation to the affair; but the neighbors, who usually know all about such matters, assert that the husband was cruel and dissolute, much given to drink, and having, like many of his countrymen, le temper, Teearaay, gh: @ hasty and ungovernabd! about twelve o'clock, he went arouna to his dau; ter’s house, and, as usual, began a tirade of abuse inst Mrs, Martin.

Leaving his wife on the floor dead, as tought, Martin ran down into the cellar, where he hastily hid the murderous pis- tol in an ash barrel, and t fled the premises. He was, howevet, followed by an officer and arrested.

Notice by the Mexican Investigation Committee toall the Victims of Mexican Banditti. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Matamonos, Mex., Nov. 23,, 1872. Tne Mexican International Commission has is- sued a notice containing the following :— All persons in Mexican territory who have suf- fered any attack upon their persons or property since the 2d day of February, 1968, of whatever kind, which may have originated from invasions or incursions of individuals trom the United States, or from individuals at the time residing in Mexican territory but who afterwards obtained protection in the territory of the United States may present their claims tor the dem: 80 imeurred, it being the object of the Com- mission to form a complete judgment of the question, Complete impartiality will govern its conduct, and being governed solely by the principles of the strictest justice it invites persons residing in the United States, or owning property therein, and who puay believe they have a right to complain of robberies or dep- redations committed by bands organized in Mexi- can territory, to present their complaints to the Commission with the necessary proofs. Residents in Mexican territory are solicited to present themselves before the Commission in order tohave all the necessary means and factlities of knowing what has occurred at the events that are said to have been committed on both frentiers, and that they may be explained and prevented in the future, The investigation will evidently take a wide range, and will include the fillibustering on this frontier. THE COUNTY CANVASS. ieee Report of the mmittee om Protests— Claims Thrown Out—A Question Rela- tive to the Elertion Returns at Police Headquarters—The Canvass To Be De- clared on Tuesday. ‘The Board of Supervisors, sitting as county can- vassers, met last evening at seven o'clock, having given up the day tothe Committees on Correction of Returns and on Protests. The Committee on Cor- rection finished ail its work except two districts, and the Committee on Protests heard and decided all the cases before it, The most important among the latter is THE CASE OF JOHN GILLEN, who claims the Comptrollership, on the ground of election to that office at the recent county election. | Mayor Hall appeared before the committee yester- day morning and argued that as no vote had been returned to the Board of County Canvassers the matter was out of their jurisdiction. Nothing but @ Mandamus could bring it before the Board. The case was dismissed. A number of other cases came before the committee, but they were all summarily disposed of. In THE MATTER OF WILLIAM RADDE, who complains that he lost his election ou account of defective “pasters, the committee reply that they sympathize deeply with Mr. Radde in his mis- fortune, and doubt not thyt he had lost many votes in consequence of the inconsistency of the paste, but they do not see how the matter can be reme- died or how the lost votes can be counted for him. In the case of Kapp, who sues for the place in t Assembly claimed by Timothy J. Campbell, the Committee announces that it has no jurisdiction, aud that tne case should, if strong enough, be taken to the Legislature; but at present there is no testimony to back Rapp’s claims. THE CASE OF WILLIAM STAUPP, who claims election inthe Kighth Assembly dis- trict, was declared too Irivolous for consideration, and was thrown out. The report of the Committee was received and the Committee discharged, IN THE BVENING SESSION the canvassing of the corrected returns was con- tinued. The returns for Assistant Aldermen for the Fourteenth election district o1 the Third Assem- bly district was missing, and a motion was made that the vote be canvassed (roin the returns of the Bureau of Elections. eneral Cochrane, in sup- port of the motion, said that the general tmpres- sion seems to be that the returns of the Bureau of Elections are merely estinates jor the early con- venience of the public, and that they carried po weight with them beyond that of rough estimates; but the law provided diflerentiy. ‘The statement of returns at the Barean ts ane of the THREE ORWINAL STATEMENTS provided for in the law, ani as such should be pro- duced and scanned by the County Canvassers, al- though it 1s legally opened. read and made pubiic on the very night of the ciection, apd may be tam- pered with before the canvassers can reach it, ‘There is danger here, said General Cochrane, for unscrupulous inspectors may suppress the returns to the Board and to the County Clerk, and leave the unguarded returns at Police Headquarters alone for the canvassers to make their estimates from, was legal, but he thought the law should be amended. The motion was carried. THR CANVASSING then proceeded. In one district Riley, for Alder- man, was allowed fifty additional votes to square the canvass. in the Ninetcenth election district of the Eighteenth Assembly there were no returns for Assistant Alderman, and application to Police Headquarters received answer that there was no power there, in the absence of the Police Commis- sioners, to send the returns to the County Vanvas- sers, SOME DISCUSSION ensued, in which Mr. Plunkitt suggested that the returns be canvassed as “none,’’ but doubts arose as to whether it might inftuence the result, and the proposal was not considered. Finally Supervisor Cochrane oifered a resolution that the returns of the Bureau of Elections be sent tor, and that in tne meantime the Board take a recess until five o’clock Tuesday afternoon, which was carried, and the Board ad- journed, Menced, the official declaration of the vote of the county wil be read. and the Board of County Can- Vassers, a4 such, will cease to be. ASSASSIN MARRA SENTENCED. Satisfactory Termination of the Prosecu- tion of a Philadelphia Thug—Sent to the Penitentiary for Six Years and Nine Months and Fined $1,000 and Costs. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23, 1872. Hugh Marra, the man who shot Alderman Mc- Mullin in July last and who was tried in October and convicted, was brought into court this morn- ing on a motion for a new trial. Marra’s counsel offered the following reasons for a new trial of the case, all of which were overruled by Judge Pax- on:—First, because the Court erred in overruling the defendant's challengs for cause in the case of Henry Roberts, a juror who had formed and expressed an opinion as, to the guilt or innocence of the defendant; second, because the Court erred in overruling defendant's offer to prove that the de- fendant, when a fugitive from justice, was secreted yy, the prosecutor in his house for two weeks; third, because of the insanity of Robert Douglass, a juror Who sat upon the case; fourth, because the verdict was against the law; fifth, because the ver- dict was against the evidence. THE PRISONER SENTENCED. Jadge Paxson went over all these alleged rea- sons at some length, and at the close Marra was ordered to stand up, when the Judge, in passing sentence, addressed him as follows :— “Hugh Marra, for the second time in your brief career you stand at the bar of this Court for judg- ment. Your history is FULL OF SAD AND IMPRESSIVE WARNING. Two of your associates in your former crime have been summoned before a higher tribunal. One died in prison, the other by the knife of an assassin, showing it to be true now, as it was four thousand ears ago, that “whosoever sheddeth man’s blood y man shall his blood be shed.” You have been spared to repeat your crime and suier again its penalties. ie sentence of the Court is that you pay a fine of $1,000 for the use of the county; that You pay the costs of prosecution, and that you un- dergo imprisonment in the State Penitentiary for the tern district, by separated or isolated con- finement, at labor for the period of six years and nine months, and stand committed until the sen- tence is complied with.

Wasatnaton, Nov. 23, 1872, Favorable Condition of the Cotton Crop— Tho Estimated Yield 3,450,000 Bales— An Increase of Sixteen Per Cont Over Last Year. The November report of the Statistician of the Department of Agriculture gives to the cotton Prospecta substantially the same interpretation as the October statement. The weather has been fine for picking. Frosts have been earlier than usual in the more northern States, but an eariter maturity of the plant is indicated everywhere and the past month has been quite favorable for the develop- ment of the maturing bolis, white the returns of the condition since August have been much below the average. They have been higher than those of the corresponding months of the previous and very unfavorable season, averaging in October eighty-two against seventy-six and in September ninety-one against eighty. The Novem- ber returns give the’ indicated total product in comparison with the small crop of 1871, and the average made ts about sixteen per cent increase, with an area in cultiyation larger by éwelve to thirteen per ceut, The greatest losses from the prevalence of the army and boll worm are found in Florida and Alabama. In. Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia there have also been heavy local dam- age. In Arkansas a material reduction of the yield was caused by drought in July and August. The comparison by States with last: year’s crop is as follows :— North Caroting, 121; South Carolina, 124; Geor- gia, 119; Florida, 102; Alabama, 111; Mississippi, 112; Louisiana, 121; Texas, 126; Arkansas, 115; Ten- nessee, 110; Missouri, Virginia, Ulinvis and ether States, which together produced 55,000 bales in 1800, and in which cotton cuiture was stimulated ta several subsequent years, now scarcely yield ten percent of that amount. The total produc- tion, as indicated by the returns of the first week in November, is made very nearly 3,450,000 com- mercial bales. At that date apparently twenty- five to thirty per cent of the crop, or nearly 1,000,- 000 bales, remained to be picked, and sub- Ject to the vicissitudes of the weather, which might decrease the fnal aggregate by beat- ing Storms or slightly enlarge it by a favorable season for opening and gathering the fibre of the top crop. ‘The indicated product of fibre per acre returned from each county makes the following averages for each State, viz. :—North Carolina, 173 pounds; South Carolina, 182; Georgia, 180; Florida, 125; Alabama, 170; Mississippi, 200; Louisiana, 215; Texas, 220; Arkansas, 170; Tennessee, 190. The area in cotton, as calculated trom the returns of 1872, is as follows:—In North Carolina, 450,629; South Carolina, 570,652; Georgia, 1,311,331; Florida, 158,099; Alabama, 1,387,972; Mississippi, 1,537,618; Louisiana, 940,218; Texas, 914,269; Arkansas, 693,512; Tennessee, 518,605. In calculating the in- dicated product the average bale 1s estimated at 465 pounds, The Mexican Border Commission—Ret- icenee of the Members—The Report Read to the President. Mr. Fabius J. Mead, of Mississippi, the third mem- ber of the Mexican Border Commission, arrived here to-day, and the Comunissioners again visited the White House and read their report in full to the President. The Mexican Minister also called to see the President, but did not obtain an audience in consequence of the pressing business requiring the President's attention.

SWINDLING A NEWPORT BROKER. - ° A Neat Operation in Central Pacific— $17,000 in Counterfeit Bonds—How the Forgery was Detected—$1,000 Still on the Market. Newrosr, R. I., Nov. 23, 1872, ‘The following swindling operation caine to light in this city to-night, through the instrumentality of Fisk & Hatch, bankers, of New York. About six months ago @ man called upon Oliver Read, Esq., @ wealthy broker of this city, and requested him to purchase $17,000 of the Central Pacific Rail- road ten per cent income bonds, Mr. Read told him that he would not purchase them, but that he would sell them for him for 214 per cent. The man consented, and Mr. | Read immediately forwarded them to Fisk & Hatch, in New York, for them to sell for him, In due season Mr. Read received a teleram irom Fisk & Hatch, stating that they bad suc- ceeded in disposing of them and that they had placed the proceeds to his credit at a bank in that elty. Thereupon Mr. Read informed “his man,” who, by the way, had failed to state his name, that he had sold them, and, as a mat- ter of course, paid the man $14,000, alter deducting his commissions and those of Fisk & Hatch. This morning Mr. Read received word from Fisk & Hatch, stating that the bonds were counterieit, al they also sent him $6,000 of them, request him to make good their loss. At noon he aiso received an- other letter from them, with $10,000 more of the bogus bonds. It will thus be seen tiat $1,000 | more are still out, although I am informed at this hour (nine P.M.) that Read had invested the | remaining $1,000. The fraud was detected at the office of the railroad company, in New York, when the coupons were presented for pay- ment. Neither Fisk & Hatch or the parties who jurchased the bonds of them will suffer, as ir. Read is an honorable man and quite wealthy, and he _ will immediately make good ‘the full amount, meanwhile using every means to bring the swindier to justice. Itis singular that Mr. Read did not ascertain the man's name, and more so that the firm of Fisk & Hatch did not detect the forgery until now. It is re. ted on good authority that the swindier was in Rew York yesterday, and doubtless will soon be in the hands of justice. THE NATOHEZ RACES.
