<] ‘THE SHOALS MASSACRE, ‘ndstentatious Interment of the Two Murdered "Women. The Services Held in the Old Historic Church of St. John’s—Removal of the Assassin to 8aco, in Mainue—Yurther Attempts to Lynch Him. Porrsmours, N. H., March 9, 1873. ‘The funeral services of the two women who were 80 brutally murdered at the Shoals last week wer¢ heid at St. John’s Episcopal church in this city this aiternoon. This tg the same quaintly, beautiful and historic old edifice wherein Governor Dix, of New York, was baptized whem @ young man; wherein services were first held over the body of the £"iqnt Farragut, and on whose fair walls aro ngmerous tablets inscribed to the memory of che Sbeafes, me Langdons, Wentworths, Elwyns, Havers, Gardners Larkins and other names great in ur town and State records, The murder’, too, “were perpetrated on one of the historie grou, 6F islands ‘now foolishty called § Shoals, but ‘whith Sir John smith disoovered and naraéd for himself, andon another of whieh, at Gosport, stands a monuyaent to him, sur- mounted by the traditional three Sarks’ heads which ‘Sauith cnt of, which triple feat of death came near being repeated in reality in alPsave its chivalry on (he adjacent isle just now. AN UNROMANTIC, BURIAL. Notwithstanding all this, and the intense inter- est felt in all the circumstances of the manner in which the women met the tremendous necessity, Weath, still nothing but the regular church burial fervice was read on the occasion by the rector, Rey. Dr. J. F, Bingham, with no word of re: tital of the events or comment or application of. the terrible lesson, for which there was so much opportunity. Neither were the bodies allowed to be seen, as might well have been done, for there was nothing disagreeable or omectionable about them; but the family preferred it should not be done, The bodies were tastefully prepared and laid in handsome dark caskets. The nscription on that of the younger and married wo- man was necenrornerone vere rerererevensneestesenees 000 tert ee@ i ANETHE MATHEA CHRISTENSON. } 3 Died March 6, 1873, Aged 25 years, ONCOL ACEI IED IOLETE IGEN EDEN OH O® Her face was not much scarred or disfigured, though there were some bruises and patches upon it, and her light Saxon hair was combed neatly around her well-formed head.

Better, perhaps, if it tould be forgetten on earth; but better, far better, than this apparent indifference—more fitting, per- ‘baps, than aught else—that the bedies were buried in the soil reddened with their life bloed, on the (little isles of the ocean, with no service but the moaning wimds and swashing waves, where the sounding sea would sing an eternal lullaby. About twenty of the family and countrymen of the deceased followed the two hearses, including the widowed husband and the other who came so near being so. Four of the men acted as pall- bearers on foot to the tombatthe South End Cemetery, where the bodies were laid. The service was very short; the music, owing to a change in the choir, not good, and altogether the large and Sympathizing audience generally which had gath- ered evidently felt a shadow of disappointment, similar to that felt at the absence of the President in the same house at Farragut’s obsequies, It was the general expression among strangers present that things might have been done better. But for & couple of wreaths sent by a lady of another so- ciety not a ower would have been there, save an artificial sprig in the hair of each of the dead. Perhaps it were as well, where so much was ar- tificial. THE MURDFRER’S QUARTERS CHANGED. Wagner was taken to Saco last night, the state- ment that he was going te Portland being ® sagacious blind, No netice whatever was iven at Saco, and he was quietly locked up, Of the great rabble that fellowed him to the depot, a man threw a couple of stones, one of which struck the prisoner and severely cut his head, at which he cried out, “Oh, Don’t killme! Let them hang Mme if they are going to!’ Marshal Johnson after- wards knocked this assatlant down with his billy in the depot for crowding him. The Marshal got one ‘blow in his eye, and the police were obliged to draw their pisto!s once or twice to keep back the crowd; but our officers deserve credit for their managem*ntof the whole affair, and our citizens feclrelieved that we are clear of it. Attorney Yeaton returned here last night, and will secure atl the evidence possible in the case, both here and in Boston. We learn he has already acquired new and important facts anknown to the public. Mrs. iontvet, the wounded woman, is much prostrated by her interview with the murderer yesterday, but is doing well and will probably not lose her frozen feet. DEEP SEA SOUNDING! ge OL Preparations for the Scientific Cruise of the United st s Steamer Juniata— Route of the Expedition and Duty of the Command. Boston, March 7, 1873, ‘The rumor which your correspondent heard in the Navy Yard here on the day he attended tne Inspection of the United States steamer Juniata— to wit, that this vessel would be sent upon a deep tea sounding expedition—has lead him to again in- vade the quietness of the Navy Yard, and with an inquiring turn of mind seck again information on this subject; how well this has been rewarded I leave you to judge by the information I have to im- part, I find, upom inquiry, that the rumor is cor- fect. Already an apparatus, consisting of an engine, drum and reet, alse guides for the line to fun over, have arrived at the Boston Navy Yard, and these are being put together for the sounding Work. They are placed upon the forward part of the United States steamer Juniata, and may be seen from the dock near which she lies, Many thousand fathoms of. deep fea sounding line are expected soon to ai to be made at the government repewalk py for this purpose, and when she is ready the Juniata, it is stated, will commence work by 8 arting aline of soundings from Fire Island, near New York. thence to the Island of Bermuda, and return by another route. It is then supposed she will run a line of soundings from Bermuda to the Azores and thence to some European port not yet decided upon. tinue on to the Azores, and upon arrival there st, preceed on with the work to the point in Eurat Mi decjded upon. When she has crossed the Atlan then she can return with another line of soutlt- ings, or, if itis thought best, verify the route she dus alveady gone over. FELONIOUS ASSAULT.

Im answer to this question the eminent Dector went far back lato the pages of ecclesiastical and poptane history—to the first days of Christianity ‘0 the crucifixion of St. Peter and the founding of the Vatican upon his tomb, then went into a lon, detail of the pagan kings of the East, and relate many thrilling incidents of Christian pereca sons under their sway up to the reign of the Christian Constantine and Pope Sylvester. Constantine left Rome and set up his throne in Constantinople. Rome was then under the direct influence | of the rping Fonte and ag since has continued to be. He described, in a beauti- ful and touching manner, the painful inter- view which history recoras between Attilla, the scourge of God, and Pope Leo, in which the latter succeeded, asthe only mediator thut could be found on earth, in saving Rome from the barbarian King. As time rolled on the Lombards, a wild, savage race, came and settled in Lombardy, invad- ing and troupiing Italy by their incursions. The Emperor of Rome could not subdue them. At length they said to him, ‘We care not for you; we trust not your words. Let him speak who is in Rome, and him we will hear.” For seventy years no civil power was there exercised. The Pope at length appealed succersively to Charles, Mar- tel, Pepin and Charlemagne, until . finally all agreed, and _ pertect unit, of opinion, that Pope alone could exercise authority over what was then known, established and has existed as the Papal dominions, For eleven hundred years this tem- poral power continued to live, Now the pacy is gone. The world sees in its downfall nothing, but we recognize im it an unbearable evil which pre- vents him from exercising 4 Ixee, unrestricted inter- course with his subjects throughout the universe. The question is, Shall the Pope be a sovereign or the subject of a sovereign? He has been a sov- ereign through the providential course of events. He will be a sovereign again, because it is a matter of necessity that he should be, and God will remedy | the evil. in His own good time. The gates | of hell cannot prevatl against His Church. The non possumus of Pius the Seventh placed him in prison and he was restored, The present ‘Pope has been already banished. He was restored and his enemies scattered to the winds, The present crisis is but a passing event. The temporal power will be brought back by the right hand of Him who bestowed 1t, and he (Bishop Lynch) trusted he would live to see the grand old, venerable prisoner of the Vatican once more exer- cising unrestricted authority in his rightful domin- ions, as he always continues to exercise his spir- itual authority im matters of ecclesiastical interest. The Right Reverend Bishop ended with a beautiful apostrophe te this effect. His lecture was excel- lently delivered and listened to with the deepest attention. OLD BONNETS. Mr. Morgan’s Second Lecture in the Cooper Institute Last Evening. The Rev. Henry Morgan’s lecture on “Slavery of Fashion, Old, Bonnets and They That Wear Them,” was given in Cooper Institute last even-, ing. The bonnet, he said, was the index of fashion; it changes with fashion’s every whim. The various bonnets were then described as representing character, or some historical fact, followed by a rtrayal of the “Slavery of Fashion.” His appeals lor wives and daughters of working men to discard aristocratic notions—break down the juggernaut idol of fashion—were loudly applauded. le closed as follows:—“Toil may lespised, yet toll is King! Industry shall wear the crown! Watch- man! what of the night? The watchman saith the day dawneth—labor’s coronation day! The workingman’s hour bath come!

It is hardly necessary to mention Sewell in this connectien, for, having been for many years @ prominent railroad ofMcial under Camden and Amboy, the United Companies and Tom Scott, his interests are bound up with those of his master. He was supposed to be the leader of the Scott party in the Senate, but McPherson came boldly forward and threw him in the shade, Sewell carries on the lobbying; McPher- son does the fighting in debate, and does it more zealously and persistently, though not quite so effectively, as Sewell would; Jarrard sits stolidly in his chair, as if his hours for sleep on the previous night were few; Hopkins listens, Watches and waits; Irick does the buzzing and whispering; Sewellis chief adviser; Lydecker has nothing to say except to pop the “aye” or “no” as directed; Beesley, though no debater, is one of the sure ones, hke his neighbor Moore; Edsall may be set down as the boon companion of Lydecker, both deserters to the Scott ranks, while Newkirk and Sheppard count for nothing except in the vote. Against these eleven the representatives of the people will have to wage the unequal contest a second time. Hewitt marshals the forces; Havens, of Old Ocean—that “Old Ocean’? cannot be too oltem repeated—is the faithful and sleepless sen- tinel; Williams fires off his sarcasm like a whole Park of artillery that demoralizes the ranks of the enemy; Stone is the most skilful of sharpshoot- ers; Cutler, in his ponderous blows, is the Hector of the battle; Banghart carries the flag, and Cornish—honest, unpurchasable Cornish— with Hendrickson and Wood, may be set down as the rank and file, never for an instant wavering in the thickest of the fight.’ Taylor, the President, sits like a commander viewing the fight from afar, but always with. anxiety when the cause of the People is in danger. His vote every time is againat Tom Scott. Cornish is perhaps the poorest mar in thé-Senate, yet he is mail-clad against the most tempting allurements of him who holds the money bags, He is accordingly the idol of his constitu- ericy. Now what are the tacties to be hic} Jat in de- feating the peoples’ railroad bill No. 2 enemy begins by proposing a committee of conference from the Senate and the Assenibly. A motion to tMis effect passed the Senate, but the Assembly rejected it by an overwhelming vote. Lee, of Hoboken, and Patterson, of Monmouth, denounced it in un- measured terms as a new trap. Letson says:— “The House has done its duty nobly; let the Sen- ate take the responsibility of defeating the bill. We cannot, by agree! to any Buch device as lend ourselves to a scheme by which certain Sen- ators may be enabled to shirk the responsibility of defeating the bill.” The appointment of the com- mittee would cause fein. and in all probability the Dill would be tossed hither and thither tii the seasion would expire. Only four weeks of the ses- sion now remain. MoPherson is given to long Speeches, and ‘speaking to time’ is an accom- plishment in which he excels his colleagues. He will pick holes in the bill and find so many faults that the remaining weeks of the session would be entirely too short for such a system of tactics, and tne bill would then fall through. McPherson says he 18 in favor of more railroads, no matter by whom constructed, He will have au opportunity, when this bill comes up, of showing his consistenc: by voting aye or no on the simple question, “Shall this bill pass?’ Any motion to recommit, postpone for a week, refer to joint committee, or such like will be simply regarded as filibustering to cause delay, and thereby defeat the bill. Surely, when the House passed it without a dissenting voice, the collected wisdom of the Senate cannot find any flaws that may be rectified in a brief time. The movements of the Senator trom Hudson and the conduct of the members of Commit on Rail- roads and Canals will be subjected to a keen publi scrutiny this week, There is the very best authority for stating that during the great debate last Tuesday evening one of the eleven Senators who voted for Tom were armed with revolvers and dirk knives, 80 lively was their apprehension that they would be set Upon by an angry mob. ane feared a sum- mary retribution for the crime they perpetrated against their State. Detectives from Philadelphia, sent by Tom Scott, swarmed in the halls of the State House. The whole pelice force of Trenton was onthe spot. The railroad bridge across the Delaware was guarded by an extra force of watch- men while the excitement lasted. The virtue of forbearance was never better exemplified in a pub- lic gathering than on that aay, considering that the excitement rose to a hig pitch, And yet, if an outbreak had occurred, there would not bea second opinion in fixing the responsibility on those who bag gy the public feeling, When will the Crédit Mobilier No, 2 Mae ii! commence? What Senator will move for it? The testimony will be furnished by members of the Senate itself. When a prominent member ef the House was asked the question, a few days ago, he replied :—‘Wait a few days; it would be premature just now. These men may ratrace their steps and vote for the general railroad bill, If they de, Iam in favor of a general amnesty.” While the lam holds eut to burn, &c., was the peint of this reply. If the Senate should defeat this bill a bill will imme- diately be introduced into the House to change the name of the Stute from New Jersey to New Scott- land, The bill to remeve the capital from Trenton vies will, it is expected, be imtroduced this evening. ‘TOM S00TT'S HUMAN GRIST MILL About five o’clock on Saturday evening an un- known man was run over and killed by the half- past four P.

A frightful occurrence took place in Newark yes- terday morning shortly alter nine o’clock, being the burning to geath of two eptldgen belon ing to James Wildon, & grocér doing businesé on the cor- ner of Jackson and Ferry streets. The facts, as communicated to the HERALD reporter by Mr. Wil- 800, are as follows:—Mrs. Wilson, Who had been sick unto death for several months past while en- ceinte, had but recently given birth to an infant, and is still confined to her chamber, Yesterday morn- ing Mr. Wilson dressed his other two chil- dren, James and Mary, aged respectively two and four years and four months. A customer culled to pay a bill and Wilson ran down stairs into the stere to attend to him, leaving the two children alone in the kitchen. He had not been gone five minutes when the shrieks of the little ones alarmed him. Dashing uP stairs he opened the door and found the kitchen illied with smoke.

Second | Spley Letter on Harper’s Weekly and the Sons of Loyola, To THE Epiros oF ras HERALD :— Tconfidently appeal to you for a little space in which to make a few comments on an article in Harper's Weekly of the 220 inst. on the Chancellor of Prussia and the Society of Jesus. The same article is so stupidly and gudaciously untrue, and 80 pee Li unclean ice for the ‘Uatholig faith, # fi tathors deste ting contempt from all right-minded citizens. Let me make good my words. The article is a vindication of Prince Bismarck for his banishment of the Jesuits from the German Empire. It thus commences :— ‘Those who suppose that Bismarck, the most sage: cious of living statesmen, is waging war with the ecclesiastical power in Germany upon ope superfi- cial or whimsical ground do bim great At eepe The key of his position is evident, The calling of the late Ecumenical Council at Rome was the sign of the Rrghane ascendancy of Jesuitism in the Ro- -man Church, The declaration by the Council of papal WeTieesy was the ie of Jesuit supre- macy. Bismarck ig @ man of much too profound in- sight not to see the politieal consequences of such @ fact, and he acts accordingly. For Jesuitism is an absolute despotism which recognizes only own purpose and ita own methods, It acknowledges no tie of country or of kindred. The Jesuit is a dumb and passive instrument engaged in the subjugation of the human mind to an ecclesiastical supremacy, Japan and Alaska, Turkey, Italy, England and America, are to the Jesuit the indifferent scenes of his labor, He takes mo root. He shares no com- mon sympathies. He is no fellow-citizen. Patrio- ism 18 necessarily impossible to him. The task in which his whole being is enlisted is the creation of a State within the State, of an allegiance beneath that of country and government to a distant, abso- lute and relentless authority, Now this has two, serious faults. Everything it asserts is a sheer lie; nothing contained in it isa true explanation of Bismarck’s act. 1 take its assertions one by one:— First—“The calling of the Ecumenical Council was a sign of the probable ascendency of Jesuitism in the Roman Church.” ‘The calling of the Council was the independent act of the Pope as successor of St. Peter, and, ag 1ts decrees prove, he called it, not for the ascendancy of the Jesuits, but for the benefit of all the Church, There is not a line, nor a word, nor a tittle in any of those decrees that confers a single special advantage on the Jesuits. A General Council, dictated by the learned Sons of Loyola,or by any other monastic order in the Church, and intended for their ascendancy over the Churck, i8 an imposgivility. The Church in her head, in her Bishops, in her clergy, in her other religious communities, in her people, could never submit te such @ thing; and the Jesuits them- selves would never commit the folly and the crime of planaly sach an operation in their hearts and understandings. The first assertion, therefore, Mr. Editor, is a grosa lie. Second—'The declaration by the Council of Papal Infallibility was the proof of Jesuit supremacy,”— The principle of Papal infallibility existed and operated before the Jesuit order was ever dreamed ol. The Cardinals, the Patriarchs and the Bishops who defined it to be true, assign their exercise of that act not to Jesuitinfluence over their minds and wills, but tothe Holy Ghost answering their prayers for enlightenment; and the declaration of it, considered im itself, attests, not Jusuit su- premacy in any thing, either in a ouapel or in @ college, but tne sure supremacy ef the Fisherman over ail, Catholic countries and ages. For these three reasons the second assertion is Had the Jesuits them no partin the Council? Yes, an immortal part, They wrote tor it in Latin Cicero would have praised; in French, never ex- celled under the Academy ; {n German, with which Schloegel would have divided his laurels; in Italian Alfieri would have crowned; in philosophy the deepest and the best, and with theology worthy of St. Gregory the Great himself, But they were notalone. They along with them C; Benedictines, Soms of St. Dominic, Sons of St. Francis, Augustinian friars, theatines, secular pre- ‘Yes, the Jesuits had'a part in the Council. apart that can never fade. Father Secchi pene- trated the vaporaof the aun and wrote his name its disc. His bi rs Perrone, Curol and Ballerini have chiselied their limes on the Vatican columa. Their will be forever engraved on it, like the name Athanasius on the Synod of Nicca. And thisi@motshame in any degree, but glory: in all its altitude, Third—“Bismarck ig @ man of much too pro- found insight not tosee the political consequences of such an act, and he acts accordingly.’ The meaning of this is that the dogma of infalubility ie full of injury to the rights of States. It is “a mare’s nest,” and B whatever he may say as to its very, never ered it. In the deciara- tion that the Cathelic Church is forever absolutely free of error in faith and morals, it is, by the face of things, impossible to find injury to States. The dogma touches tical imeriere inno shape—in no form; it affects the salvation of the People, that alone, and that forever, The third assertion, therefor, tt le. Fourth.—"For Jesuitism is an absolute despot- ism, which recognizes only ite own purpose and its own methods,’ This is a statement which carries with it the slander that the constitution of the Society of Jesus is a wickedness, that the Jesuits, for living up to it, are knaves, and that the people on whom it is exercised are under an im- ious tyranny. As they say in the courts of Scot jand todismissed cases, “not proven,” and so we CT ni the fourth assertion as the fourth lie in the article. FUth—"'It_ (Jeauitism) acknowledges no tie of country or of Kindred.’ Clearly, it ignobie, de- testable malice that has inspired such au assertion It is impossible for it to be true. Nature has given tono one the power to extirpate from his own heart the ties of country and of kindred, They are [els deeply in the soul at first; they remain here until the last breath is drawn. The Jesuits have great success. Could they have any Soares: of that success if they were the transformed beings the Harpers here assert them tebe’ They never could, Go to the Congregations to whom the Jesuits administef, and ask them, have their pastors no hearts? Go to the hundreas of thousands of young men lands whom they educate, ask them,. are their teachers cold in the blood ? Go to the fami- lies, Cathelic—aye! and Protestant too—whe have given their best sons to this illustrious order, and ask them ia the sacred tie of kindred quenched in those sons’ hearts?

He carries out—to the letter at least— with courage and success which make Protestant- ism pale, the command to £2, and teach all natiol and therefore he cannot have patriotism! A b: argument, gentlemen. It contains a reproof for our Saviour, who gave that command. And it isa lie from nature and irom facts; for, by nature every man loves the place of his birth aud the country in which he settles; and from fact, because the mul- titudes whe have intereourse and correspondence with the Jesuits know that the Fathers are just like all other men in the noble sentiment of love of Look at the nomenclature of many of the and other places in the it speaks of France, Spain, Italy, Who conferred it?

In all these regions you can find peaks, great forests, waterfalls and the otner re- markable works of nature christened by a Jesuit with names o! his native home, And, in time of war, have they no patriotism?’ Are they cowards then?

I present to the Harpers this illustrious name as a refutation of what they assert, I present it to the nation of which this suidier is so grand an ornament. Mr. Editor, I respectfully submit that your cor- respondent has made good his word that all the assertions put forth by the Harpers are sheer lies, I now, with your concession o1 space, proceed to consider the use intended for these lies. They were intended vindication and as an explanation of Bismarck’s outlawry of the Jesuits. They were put down as proofs and illustrations of his justice and sagacity in that act. They are lies, therefore they prove no justice; they are lies, therefore they attest no sagacity. And, lies asthey are, do they explain the act? They donot, ‘ihe cause of Bismarck’s banishment of the Jesuits is in no way bidden, It is a visible thing in the man him- self, When, in the introduction of his statute, he aspersed the Jesuits in every way which defama- tion and slander pointed out, the Jesuits, indignant at the commission of so great a wrong upon their Order, made him an ‘‘address,” asking him to make good his words by proofs. Did he give these proofs? Was he honorable enough as 8 men to meet s0 natural and 80 fair a demand of justice? No; the “address” put him in the pillory of a convicted liar, All Germany saw that it did, He had no proofs to give. He would have given them if he had them. He had never thought that he needed such things. He had long resolved to banish, and he did it. Whence the Purpose to banish? There is no mystery about it. When did Julian the Apostate begin to blaspheme the name of Christ? On that same day in which he became an infidel. Why did Voltaire call the Holy One infamous—an inyume ? Because the wrath of infidelity was om fire in his heart. Why used Pom- bal shriek with mockeries at a mark of homage to Christ ? Because Voltaire and Diderot had infu- rated him om that subject with their own powon. Now, Bismarck is an imfidel—as rabid &@ one, th Rot quite so brave, as the Rom: Prince; as nse a one, though not so gifted, the French poet, and as unscrupulous a one, tl not so polished, as the Portuguese Minister. This is the true explanation of his outlawry of the Jesuits, He found these devoted priests the great joreaders of a Name he hates, the great diffusers of worship he holds in abomination, and in ve: ance for their splendid success ne banished hem, as if they were malefactors, from the country of their birth, Had they resisted there can be no doubt that he would have stified them in prisons, a8 did the bloody Duke of Saldanha. Is ita victory? Yes, a melancholy one—one that will cover its author with fruit more bitter than ashes; one that will bringits abettors a harvest oy would rather not glean. Thus far the glory is with the soms of Loyola. They nave been expeiled for their virtues, and they will win the last laurels of the contest. ptruggle is undecided yet; the battle is mot yet at the close; the infidel foe has the grave at his very feet, judgment for his crime and infidelity suspended ever his head. The Order of Jesus has immortal youth in its veins, and around ita brow gleams the approval of eter- nal benediction, Germany has produced many celebrated Jesuits. It will be fertile in them when Bismarck shall be no more. The Jesuits will go back te that land. They will go back there by uai- versal pop" lar recall, and Resting teed and the nobles in the cities and the towns wil ‘eet them, as was once done in Palermo and Turin, in cavalcades, with flowers and with branches of the palm. The Catholic always wins at last. A Nero was succeed Constantine the Great, a Ceci! Bur- lege by @ Gladstone. Bismarck’s chair will yet be ol) ue nominee of t! ope. mr. itor, the Jesuits are simply good, ethhid ollie devot ly educated, heroic Roman C: priests, at is all they are—nothing worse, nothing better. They have done fatal ‘m to Protestantism—that was their duty; it is a great part of their renown. They will surely see it in its grave. The imperishability of the Church has entered their biood, and they can never ater rf. The infallibility and impeccability of the di faith and morals it is their glory to diffuse, and they will diffuse them while the world lasts, All charges brought inst them are lies. Their principal foes are infidels, their mean enemies vulgar bigots. They outlive all. They are Rere by the right of natural heirs. They planted the tree of liberty in America. It was Father White drew up the constitution of Maryland, and that constitu- tion was the of the Declaration of Indepen- dence, from whieh all our freedom has come. JAMES M. SPELLISSY.

O’Baldwin, the “Irish Giant,” Issues a Manifeste from Steubenville Jail—How the Campbell Men Nearly Murdered Him—Why the Assault Was Made—"I Abandon the Prise Ring Forever.” Pirrssvra, Pa., March 9, 1873, O'Baldwin, the pugilist, who ts now confined in Jail at Steubenville, last night forwarded the fol- lowing communication to the editor of a New York sporting paper:—Yesterday a petition, signed by sixty-eight of the most prominent citizens of Steu- benville, was presented to Mayor Elliott, asking for O’Baldwin’s release, but the magistrate had no authority to revoke the penalty impesed. The petition was also accompanted by a certificate signed by two physicians, Drs. Gallegan and Stan ton, setting forth that, owing to injuries receivea prior to hia arrest, the physical condition ef the prisoner was likely to be impaired by incarcera- tion, His case wiil be considered by the Council of that place, which hold their meeting on Tuesday next, and if it is within their jurisdiction the un- fortunate tighter will be reieased. There is a good deal of sympathy manifested for O’Baldwin, inas- much as the man whom he abused provoked assault by indulging in the vilest language towards him. O’BALDWLN’S MISSIVE, The following 1s the card, which is dated JAIL, AT STEUBENVILLE, Long ere this you have learned how the Hicken and Campbell Seat terminated and the cowardly attempt that the Irish assassins made to murder me—made by men with whom I never had any per- sonal trouble, and men who, in the morning, ex- tended to me the hand of poner friendship, The principale were in the ring within the stipu- lated time, but two hours were exhausted selecting a referee, though Hicken’s friends named almost every man on the ground capable of filling the position, and even named Geoghegan or Riley (Campbell's seconds), and were anxious to accept either of the said men te act as referee ; but neither man would act in that capacity, their business being to carry out a programme which their after conduct proved the’ had systematically prepared to save their money tf their man could not win, From the first round Campbell had not the slightest chance of winning, and up te the time they made the murderous attack on me Hicken had received n@ punishment whatever in the face and only a few slight marks on the body, while Campbell had received much punishment on both the Jace and body, and was very tardy to the call of time, while Hicken went to the scratch Unde de when time was called, Altera little dghting bot! men fell, and I went forward to lift my man, and was in a stooping position, when RILEY AND GEOGHEGAN RUSHED AT ME and struck me at the same moment, and a scoun. drel uamed Murphy struck me two terrible blows with the head of a revolver, which cut my head fearfully and stunned me to such an extent that 1 tell on my face in the ring, and, while lying pros- trate, the said three scoundrels Kicked me on the head and body to such an extent that they must have felt satisfied that they had accomplished their murderous design, as they afterwards ran a fast as possible to railroad depot and took the first train to Steubenville, Every honorable man at the ring, including your reporter, will testify to the impartial part I took, and admit that my conduct as & second no fair-minded map could object to, But l had comm donable crime of appearing as sec who was guilty of English birth. the dread of losing the t | of their cowardly attack on me.

EDWARD, O’BALDWIN. m ‘This crime and tle money was the cause — Residents in the country look for Spring under the snow, in the first tender shoot of green grass; in the bursting forth of a little brown bud, or the brightened appearance of a shivering little anemone. City people find their promise of warmth and sunshine in the milliners’ windows, on the shelves of the dry goods stores, and in the early “openings,” which, to privileged persons, are abundantly suggestive of the beauty of the incom- ing seasen, Spring fashions, it may be remarked, are on ex hibition much earlier now than in former years. The milliners’ opening day adheres to ite tradi- tions, and keeps hermetically closed doors upon its secrets and its treasures uatil the time arrives to disciose them; but Spring materials have been displayed in great variety for weeks past, and whether they are the veritable novelties they pro- fess to be, or only the refuse of last season's stock, still peopie buy them, and tue end of both seller and purchaser is achieved. Stripes and poika dots figure chiefy among what are called the ‘“‘new" designs of the present season. Percales are dotted and finished to look like old- fashioned foulards; prints, cambrics and lawns are bordered or striped in chintz, lace or clustered, hair-striped patterns and Japanese poplina damasked in self colors upon tinted grounds. For the early season we have the cashmeres, Siciliennes, viroques, India camels’ hair cloth, mo- hairs, Summer silks, poplins, and Japanese alike and poplins, These last fabrics are of English man- ufacture, notwithstanding their Eastern name, and have certainly very much improved. Their prilliant lustre outshines the richest plain silk, and in the new peacock, resida, gray, green and pure wood tints produces effects indescribaply lovely. Black i black cashmere and camels’ hair cloth will be as much employed as ever for suits, and polonaises, the latter Ficnly. embroidered and oeaeee with new knotted ball iringe, instead of lace. New Spring designs are adapted to these mate- rials, For handsome suits of black silk or cash- mere Sicilienne there are the stylish redingotes which, with the addition of an underskirt, form a complete and graceful costume. The favorites oe the great variety of designs in this garmeut are the Neilson, which is loose double-breasted, and the Watteau, which is suited to more dressy purposes than any of the other styles, Costumes arranged with overskirts and basques are completed tor the street by some sort of jacket er mantie, the dolman, Which the varieties are almost legion, being the favorite wrap. The leading styles, the Eureka in the mantel dolmans and the Atherley in the sacque styles, were described in a previous article. Sleeveless jackets have brought to light many plain, round waisted dresses, which had been laid aside as among the impossibi attached to a@ single plain skirt, the Milice! oversky't is a godsend. It is simple, practical, yet srscoral and gives the effect, with sleeveless jacket, of a coniplete costume. Overskirts are numerous, consequent upon the revival of jackets; the Margaretta is a favorite model. We remark that all the aprons are short and the fulness confined the back, the sides ly- ing flat upon the hips. le Stuart overskirt 1s a particularly good ex- ponent of this very fashionable style, and 18 well adapted to rich silk, poplin or other goods that will “stand out,” The prettiest styies in sleeveless jackets are the Lucia and the Vilette, the former very simple with three taba in the back, and the later pointed in front with a partition back. Sleeveless polonaises, they are called, will also be much in vogue, the siceves being made of the same material as the underskirt. Any style of polonatse be used for this parpose, and a sim. ple coat ve is the most appropriate for the pur- one, 4 Ladies who can indulge in the luxury of wrap- pers will find anew Watteau, with pointed cape, open on the back, which is What so few wrappers @ro, thatis to say, becoming.
