NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. toahigher Court a review of the case may pecure to Stokes a new trial, and that he will segcape the ignominious fate the law affixes to his crime.” ' The Jewish Messenger discourses upon the pubject of Jewish and Christian marriages, and after declaring that such marriages are warely happy, reaches the conclusion that It becomes the duty of the Jew to reason with his ‘other who contemplates a severance from his Tel and his race. The loss is individual rather than national; yet not altogether a loss to ‘ve overlooked. Renegades from our faith have, aanconsciously as often as intentionally injured the We do not care to lose any scion of ‘the Abraham that might have flourish n by that le of race whic! as actually a species of Datelouens. . The Methodist says the Stokes verdict meets swith general acquiescence as being in accord- ance with the facts. ’ ‘The Catholic Review (Brooklyn) has its wsual amount of interesting matter—foreign particularly. The Jewish Times descants upon “Intol- verance,”” in which the mission assigned to Judaism and the Jews is characterized as providential, which is proven by ‘The continuous onslaught made on them by all -clasges of men, whatever their views and under all econditions of society. They were and are still made the subject of attack by the Greeks and the ma ni iats and Lutherans, bigots and inf- -deis, in the Middle Ages and in the most modern period. The religious fanatic darts at the Jew the spoigoned arrows of fanaticism, and the infidel «overwhelms him with the venom of his prejudice. 4} The Paris Constitutionnel is hauled over the oals in this connection. L’Homme Femme. M. Alexandre Dumas is so renowned for his spocial dissections that no one was surprised to Aearn that in his recent volume, entitled ““L'Homme Femme,” the only use which he could find to puta married woman to, who “was so utterly vicious as to seem irreclaimable, -was to kill her. The husband was to take the {Jaw into his own hand, and, after trying every ymethod which his genius, his culture, his knowledge of human nature and his experi- ence among women previous to his marriage dictated, was, if all these remedies proved anavailable, to punish her spoliation of the seventh Commandment by breaking the sixth himself. These two immense wrongs were to coalesce into one ineffable right, as two noisome gases interpenetrate till they become sone soft, sweet-smelling whiff. Perhaps there is a subtle Nemesis in the fact ‘that the son of a great writer, who spent a Aarge part of his life in counting the combina- tions upon adultery’s rattling dice, should ceaselessly perplex his brains and his readers’ ‘with speculations as to how the evil is to be cured. Without professing to offer any speci- fic ourself, we venture to doubt the efficacy of ‘the younger Dumas’. His eye is unpitying, “his hand unsparing; and though he would not probably have thrown the first stone at the woman in the synagogue, it is pretty certain he would have flung the last. He makes the ‘man not only the husband of the woman but ther hierarch; not merely her judge but her executioner. Whence the experience was gain- :ed on which he bases his theories it were vain ito conjecture, for lectures like ‘Naked Truth” wre not delivered in France, and the favorite heroines of opéra bouffe become virtuous in the last act. And, besides, M. Dumas neglects tthe important point of what retribution shall ‘be meted out to the irreclaimable husband. ‘Buch beings exist—even in Paris. A French- ‘man unfaithful to his wife is not precisely a «nyth or a novelty there. * Gt is not unnatural to conclude that, in time, M. Dumas’ theory will expand into the dimen- sions of a five-act play, in which society will be vivisected, and the world, complacently witnessing the writhing of the victim, shall have the opportunity of judging how far the dramatist has progressed since ‘The Ideas of ‘Madame Aubray”’ emanated from his pen. If in the chord of the decalogue the adulterous note is to predominate we know no touch that can give ita more mysterious and fascinating prominence than that of Dumas. Considered me @ social puzzle, as a picturesque attrition of ‘those sensuous questions which charm rich and easily kindled temperaments, M. Dumas’ ‘Give act dramatic problems will always attract 8 wide circle to their solution, even among ‘men who mock at his morality and suspect his aspirations. But M. Dumas possesses none of that logical precision, that wide range of knowledge, that purity of emotion, that eleva- ‘tion and control of passion, and that vital earnestness of purpose which entitle a man ‘to rank among reformers. He is more thana dliletante and less than a pioneer. He stirs the water, but does not filter it; and the emo- tional pool he waves his magic wand over is no Bethesda, where the moral invalid may (wash and be clean. Tae Comprroiizr anp tHe Deputy Caam- BERLAIN.—The argument in regard to the Deputy Chamberlainship, on the application for an injunction against Mr. Foley to prevent ‘his intrusion aato the office, took place before Judge Barbour yesterday. The plea on the Foley side had at least the. claim of novelty. It was argued that Comptroller Green had re- fused to accept the bond of Deputy Chamber- fain Palmer, and hence that he was not Deputy Chamberlain at all. The law which creates the office of Deputy Chamberlain and -states how he shall be appointed requires the ‘Comptroller to approve his bond. The Comp- troller, out of personal spite, refuses to do the duty required of him by the law, and then makes use of his own dereliction to deprive the Deputy Chamberlain of his office. There is no pretence that the bond is net sufficient ‘and satisfactory; and in refusing to approve it the Comptroller defies the law and neglects his duty to the city. It would be singular justice if Mr. Palmer, who complies with the law, should be injured by the act of Mr. Green, who defies the law. The decision of the Court is to be rendered t>-morrow, and in the meantime the injunction against the as- piring Mr. Foley continues. STEINWAY HALL—RUBINSTEIN. ‘Steinway Hall was filled to repletion last even- Ung by @ most fashionable and withal discrimi- ating and critical, audience, perhaps the best that has gathered on the occasion of any of the concerts given by the Rubinsteia-Thomas combi- nation. itr. Rubinstein never appeared in better play, and was rapturously encored in the first part of the programme, as he was. after he intermission. The selections the ev ig included Beethoven, Mozart, Scha- mann, Chopin and Liszt, each and every one being superbly rendered by Mr. Rubinstein in conjunction with the splendid orchestra of Theo- dore Thomas. The concerto No. 4, @ CA 58, from Beethoven, was delicately and beautiful ef rendered Dy Rubinstein, his exquisite touch and masterly interpretation and execution eliciting deserved and enthusiastic applause, In fact, the entire pro- gramme was received with unml able favor b} he vast audience present. A fe d'Adieu”’ ‘will be given on Monday, after which Mr, Rubinstein ‘will depart in the night train for New Orleans, re- turning on February 1, for which date the fourth prmphony concert nounced.

THE “OLD GUARD.” _ A despatch from Paris says numetous officers of the French army have applied for leave of absence to attend the funeral of Napoleon, but they have in all cases been refused, excepting where the appli- cant was formerly connected with the Emperor's household, There is even still some difficulty in the French War Office with respect to the military representa- tion at the funeral, for the Paris Gaulois, in its is- sue this morning says the only, officers of the French army who will be permitted to attend the funeral will be those “who were attached to the household of the ex-Emperor during his reign in France.” * BONAPARTE’S WILLS.

THE INFANT ASYLUM BALL, Next Thursday evening, Jannary 16, will bril- liantly inaugurate the ball season at the Academy of Music. Tickets are selling rapidly for the Asy- lum Ball, and so great is tne demand for boxes that they are now at a premium, and the lady man- agers are relinquishing to the public such as had been reserved for themselves. The floor commit- tee consists of many of our prominent citizens, among them General Alexapder Hamilton, and Messrs. George W. Scott, Fred Tams, Amos F. Eno, A B. Stockwell, W. K. Vanderbilt and A. Wright Sanford. A ladies’ committee will also be constantly on the floor, so that dancing will be as much en régie as in the most exclusive draw- ing room, When we say that Delmonico furnishes the supper and Mr. Theodore Moss presides jike a guardian angel over everything in general, the pubiic needs no further assurance of the perfection of detail.

ASIA, East India Commercial Difficulties with the Sul- tan of Turkey—War Trouble on the Line of British Trade. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Carcurra, Jan. 11, 1873. The relations between the Porte and the depend- ency of Lahsa have become threatening. The active troubles which it is feared may grow out of the difficulty create excitement among British Indian interests, on account of the trade relations be- tween the inhabitants of Lahsa and the British port of Aden, an important point on the overland route to India. Turks and Arabs Fighting [t Out on the Line. Despatches were forwaded from Aden to Bombay and Calcutta during the latest days of the month of November, 1872, reporting the progress of a desultory war between Turks and Arabs and other peoples in the western territory. It was stated that the Turks desired to gain possession of the fortress of Konkeban, and offered an amnesty to the chiefs of that district ‘on comition of their re- building a broken bridge connecting the fortress with the city. The chiefs refused to accept the terms, and there were signs of a vigorous renewa, of hostilities, The Arabs were mustering in force, 15,000 fighting men having been assembled for the purpose of driving the Turks out of the land. Previous to this a courier had arrived in Bombay from Hodeida with the intel- ligence that an insurrection having broken out in the Asseeree country Wahe Pasha had advanced against the rebels with 600 Turkish troops. He entered a village and was said to have massacred all the inhabitants, without distinction-of age or sex, ant to have carried off all their cattle. When the native population heard this they assembled, under the leadership of Abdur Rahman bin Aiedh and Nasir bin Aiedh, brothers of a deceased chief. The Turks were attacked and only @ hundred of them are said to have escaped. Six of the sub- tribes, amounting to 2,500 or 3,000 men, submitted to the two brothers, and the whole road from Ratda to Shukaik, on the sea coast, where the stores, provisions and money of the Turks are, was blocked up, and from these occurrences has re- sulted the state of affairs which now troubles the great Anglo-Asiatic material interests.

THE RAILROAD SMASH-UP AT CALLICOON, Te THE EprTor or THe HERaLy:— Being a passenger on the express train of the Erie road, which was collided by a freight train near Callicoon Station yesterday morning, I desire to make a correction in the report of that accident as it appears in the papers of this morning. We left Buffale at 6:25 Thursday evening and made good time until we passed Han- cock station, when, overtaking a freight train, we were delayed and finally stopped by its stalling on @ grade, Almost immediately following came an express freight, which ran into us as we were about coupling to the freightin front. The passengers in the rear car, which was not a sleeper, attempted to escape, and nearly all got clear. (aly one man was injured, by being eaught on the rear platform and having his leg broken by the concussion of the engine striking it. The shock of the engine upon the rear car broke the stove and set the car on fire, at the same time throwing itself off the track, thus preventing all hope of extricating the sieeping cars, as the train in front could not bo started, and with no water at hand they conld not be saved. All the passen- gers and bi 4 were saved, A PASSENGER, JanUARY TS. bapa ENGLAND.

THE MISSOURI SENATORSHIP, Caucusing at Jefferson City—The “Sa- cred Principles” of the Last Cam: paign—Frank Blair’s- Stock Looking Up Lovis, Jan. 11, 1873. A Democratic Senatorial Caucus was held at Jef- ferson City last night, at which resolutions were adopted fixing the time for the caucus balloting for United States Senator to-night. A series of reso- lutions were offered which set forth that the dem- ocratic an d liberal members of the General Assem- bly, vempg convinced that the events of the recent campaign, while demonstrating their self-abnegat- ing patriotism and devotion to the country, have also given a sigmal proof of the necessity of ad- hering rigidly to those sacred principles which can never be sacrificed withont ter, and resolve in favor of local self-government, reduced taxa- tion, reform in the manner of assessment and col- lection of taxes in order to decrease the number of tax-gatherers; inst pot a taxation of banking facilities and railroads; in favor of a di- rect vote by the people for President, and inst the theory that to the victors belong the spoils. ‘The resolutions were referred to @ committee of one from each district, to report at some future meeting. ‘The eporta from Jefferson City indicate that Senator Blair has much the mogt positive strength as the Senatorial candidate, and that he will be nominated in the caucus to-night.

The Court of Claims Decision Discussed in the House—Defeat of an Attempt to Override the Supreme Court—A Blow at the Pacific Railroad. ‘The most important feature in to-day’s proceed- ings of the House was the defeat of Boardman Smith’s amendment, that no judgment of the Court of Claims shall be paid except by special appropria- tion of Congress, A paragraph in the Legislative Appropriation bill, appropriating $400,000 for the payment of the awards of the Court of Claims, was the occasion of the amendment, whose purpose was to circumvent the Supreme Court, which had decided in favor of claimants disloyal during the war. The passage of this amendment would have been a virtual repeal of the Supreme Court decision and made Congress a tribunal of appeal. As Judge Bingham remarked, “The repeal of the judgments of the Supreme Court would be a Tepeal of the Court itself.” General Farnsworth de- nied that disloyal claimants were not entitled to compensation. Pointing to the republican side of the House he said :—“There are members of this side who are just as guilty of rebellion in the sight of God as the leading rebels were.” This created a sensation, but provoked no answer. The amend- ment was, however, defeated because republicans a8 well as democrats voted against it, During the consideration of the Legislative Appropriation bill Mr. Randall offered an amend- ment, that no money shali be paid for transporta- tion of troops to those railroad companies which are indefault for the interest due to the govern- ment on their bonds, This was a blow aimed at the Pacific railroads. Mr. Sargent, who repre- sents in the House the Central Pacific Railroad, objected to Mr. Randall’s amendment, as well as to a substitute of 1t by Holman, on the ground that it was out of order. His objection was sus- tained in the case of the latter. Holinan stated that the law compelling the government to pay for one-half of the services ren dered by the Pacific railroads which are indebted to it was surreptitiously passed. In say. ing this he unconsciously trod on a tender corn of his brother democrat, Beck, who signed a com- mittee report in favor of the passage of that law. Beck rose to @ personal explanation, which was cut short by the motion to rise and adjourn. The Louisiana Imbroglio—Testimony to Be Taken in Washington. The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions have decided not to send any commission to Louisiuna to take testimony at the present, and this evening despatched a deputy sergeant-at-arms to subpeena both of the Returning Boards known as the Wharton Board and the Bovee Board to ap- Pear before them ,:n this city. An etfort will be made by the committee to have presented for their investigation all the returns of the electoral votes from the various parishes of Louisiana, The New York Post Office. In the House to-day Mr. W. R. Robeyts, of New York, offered a resolution, which was adopted, call- ing on the Secretary of the Treasury for informa- tion as to why work has been suspended on the new Post Ofice building in New York, and instruct- ing him, if not incompatible with the public inter- ests, to order the resumption of the work at the earliest possible moment. Dinner to Mr. Henry M. Stanley—A Dis- tinguished Company Present. The dinner to Mr. Henry M. Stanley at Willard’s Hotel by journalists to-night was largely attended.

No Action Agreed Upon—Reasons Why the Advance in Prices Was Contem- plated. It appears from inquiry among the officers of the principal coal-produting and transportation com- panies that there is now no immediate danger of an advance in the price of that very valuable and comfort-yielding commodity, The chief agitation on this subject has been among the dealers, as they were the first to become aware of the proposed combination among the great corporations to put up the price, To a@ certain extent, too, they have been ratoer industrious in circu- lating the ramor in a kindly sort of way, of course, 80 as to prepare the public mind for the shock and lead {t to a more gentle submission of terms. [tis claimed among the great coal corporations—those who produce as well as those that do the transportation—that the ad- vance will be resorted to only as a necessity, as the prices which have prevailed during the past year or two do not yield a fair average percentage on their capital. In 1872 the product of coal brought into market was about twenty million tons, as against between: fifteen and sixteen millions for the preceding year, ‘This, it will be seen, was an increase in the supply of about twenty per cent, and no corresponding in- crease in the demand and consumption was ob- servable, In fact the product of 1871 was in excess of the demand, and the result was that the over- stocked market went down to present low rates. ‘With a view to protect themselves against what promised to result as @ loss to these companies, a number of informa! conferences or consultations have been held between representatives of some three or four of the largest corporations, at which the subject of @ prospective increase Of rates was mooted in the most tnformal manner. Yesterday afternoon @ HERALD reporter called at the office of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company and learned from Mr. E. B. Holden, the coal salesman of that concern, that nothing had resulted from these consultations. He said:. “These consultations have been held at various times during the past six months, and were ori- ey intended to affect the trade of 1873. But hey were of so informal a character that nothing whatever resulted from them, though doubtless they might crystallize the effort into action tna very short time. The chief ideas among the con- sulting parties was to so regulate the product of coal at the mines and its supply in the marts for actual consumption that fatr paying rates could be maintained. With some of the companies it has been @ problem how to avoid bankruptcy at the rates which have prevailed during the past two ears, and With the best of them the exhibit was by no Means gratifying as compared with the Sie invested, Ihardly think anything will be decided upon that will affect the prices daring the present Winter, as there does not seem at present to be any concert of action contemplated. The reporter visited the oiices of several other coal corporations and had conversations with their officers, but they did not differ materially in their views from those entertained and expressed by Mr. Holden, The conversations in some cases were quite lengthy, but the facts given above are all that could prove of any interest to the public on the subject. , BARTHQUAKE IN MAINE.
