Tae Sraniso Repopuic aND THE Frpe- BaLists.—The situation in Spain still remains critical. The bill providing for the convoca- tion of a Constituent Cortes has been passed. A new election is now certain. The bill makes provision for Cuba, which is to be allowed to send delegates to the new Assem- bly. This is very well and very wise; but what is the hope for Spain when Catalonia and Andalusia and other provinces are insist- ing on independence ? Is Spain in a position to-day to fight for State rights with the slavery question superadded? We say, “No.” The new election, when it comes, will reveal chaos, Some or THE Cuntositixs or New Yore Trert are detailed elsewhere in the Hrranp, They will be found to make a strange showing of thievish ingenuity, and, what is worse, of impunity to thieves. It looks bad for our police. General Ceballos and the Capt: Herald—O’Kelly’s Report Anxiously Awaited. The detailed account of the interview be- tween Captain General Ceballos and » Hzzaup correspondent, which we publish elsewhere, settles, we should imagine, the question of Mr. O’Kelly’s safety when he returns from the Cuban insurgents’ lines, The main facts of the decision of the Captain General reached us somo days ago by cable, but we are for the first time made acquainted with the grounds on which Ceballos reconsidered his first threat to have the Hzratp Commissioner shot as a spy. He finally consented to limit his disap- probation to Mr. O’Kelly’s expulsion from the island on the understandiny that his report should be truthful and impartial. The Cap- tain General is to be congratulated on taking ® common-sense view of the matter, in spite of all the falso light which certain infuriate Spaniards have thrown upon it. The insensate calls for the blood of a journalist whose only offence is in seeking the truth had no doubt greater effect at first upon the Captain Gen- eral than they were entitled to, It is credit- able to his good sense that the brief, but pointed, explanation of the aim and purpose of the Hznatp Commissioner, made by an authorized representative of the Henarp, should have caused him to reject the blood- thirsty appeals and resolve to deal with Mr. O'Kelly in a more honorable spirit. The position in which the matter stands at present makes it a pleasant duty for us to ex- tend our warm congratulations to our Special Commissioner to Cuba for the manly, straight- forward and able manner in which he has con- ducted his mission thus far. From the day on which he set foot on Cuban soil he has had ob- stacles and vexations in every form to combat. He has throughout had but ‘‘one heart and one tongue’’ for Spaniards as well as Cubans, and the evidence of his impartiality, to which our correspondent drew the Captain General's attention, could be supplemented by every syllable he has written on the subject in the islant. When the Captain General saw fit to re- fuse our Commissioner a salvo conducto through the Spanish lines we condemned the action as short-sighted. Our Commissioner replied to the verbal refusal in a firm and dig- nified letter, which will remain as @ monument of the independence, courtesy and sense of duty which befits the representative of independent journalism who rises to the level of his mission among governments as well as peoples. The one sentiment which breathed through it all was that a necessary, an honorable and, above all, a humane task having been assigned him, he saw but one course before him—namely, to fulfil it or risk even existence in the attempt. To men accustomed to loud vaunting and paltry performance the calm, impertur- bable spirit of the Heraty Commissioner's language to so powerful an official as the Cap- tain General did not at once appear in its proper light. ‘It is bombast; it is brow- beating; it is insolence,’’ were some of the phrases that greeted it among panic-stricken Spanish journalists. These were supple- mented by the phrase dear to all doubters— “We shall sce."” And they have seen. The Captain General saw in the letter sufficient to warrant him in writing a long reply, wherein, it will be remembered, he gave him liberty to proceed, but without any salvo conducto and “‘at his own risk.’ Our Commissioner had undertaken his mission with an appreci- ation of what difficulties might be in his way, and he accordingly accepted the position which the Captain General’s letter made mani- fest. Equally unmoved by the unexpected threat of General Morales at Santiago de Cuba to have him shot, he gave proof of his unconquered courage and his calm reliance upon ‘Providence and an old shot gun’’ by riding out to seek the rebels through the wild passes of the mountains. Twice foiled and once detained as a prisoner, he still kept on. At length he disappeared from Spanish eyes and emerged from No Man’s Land safe and sound in the insurgent camp. If nothing else were added to this story it would form a series of chapters worthy of long remembrance; but, exciting as have been the situations, the breath- less interest which the whole story, down to its dénouement on O'Kelly’s return from the rebel camp, must evoke, will transcend, we doubt not, what has been already created. Expecta- tion is-on tiptoe to hear it, and through the length and breadth of the land and through all the civilized world his experiences of Cuban life under its most extraordinary aspects will be read with avidity and admira- tion. And all this because he is a striking instance of the power, the perseverance and the daring of the independent press. The cold- nesses, the refusals, the dark hints and the bloody threats which were intended to scare him, failed of their object, because he divined their intent. They tried to intimidate him; but, as wesaid at the time, they had mistaken their man. He has done only what we should expect of any of the Heraxp’s staff under the circumstances, but he has done it remarkably well. His achievement belongs to the chivalry of journalism, and we are prond in pointing to other dashing feats of the Henatp men, to say he does not stand alone. In perusing the interview with the Captain General it will be observed that he lays great stress upon his dissatisfaction with the report of Mr. Henderson, our former Commissioner to the island. We can admit of no tenable ground for this dissatisfaction outside the question of its trathfulness, A “betrayal of confidence” on the part of Mr. Henderson can only exist so far as he may have departed from truthfulness in his writing, and it is something which, if proven, we would resent and condemn as forcibly and heartily a3 could the Captain General. Our contract of faith is with the public, and not with @ correspondent, upon matters of fact, We are confident in our present Com- missioner's honesty and impartiality; of his determination to spare no shortcoming, Cuban as well as Spanish, we have already sufficient evidence. It is because we believed that more was to be told than had already been made known that he was charged with his present duty. If there are any doubts about the true state of affairs in Cuba he will set them forever at rest. It is for this reason that the friends of liberty and humanity will look so anxiously for O'Kelly’s report, to learn the inner secret of the struggle, not merely from the side of the picturesque, but in its finest social, moral and political bearings. We can bromise distinctly that what General Ceballos asks for—‘the truth and nothing but the truth” —will be told, no matter who is hurt—Cuban or Spaniard. On the smaller question—for it is relatively smaller—which agitates the Spanish bosom, namely, whether Mr. Henderson did or did not have an inter- viow with President Cespedes, we promise the same illumination, regardless of the fact that it was turnished us bya man bearing credentials from the Hznazp. No cause, how- ever otherwise worthy, could be permanently assisted by falsification in such a matter, and no deception of the kind, if attempted, could hope to escape ultimate detection. Our en- deavor is to reach the truth, and that once in our hands we will give it unhesitatingly to the world, whether it be General Riquelme or Mr. Henderson who suffers thereby. Ona review of the events which have tran- spired in relation to our representatives in Cuba one fact will make itself patent—namely, that they form a magnificent tribute to the power wielded by an independent American journal in the interests of mankind. General Ceballos declined to countersign Mr. O’Kelly’s credentials to travel in and report on what he had seen in the island of Cuba, rebel and loyal; but the salvo conducto which carried him serenely through was his authority from the Herarp. As the independent, impartial jour- nalist he has been aman apart from men. The rules applied to others could not be made to fit his case by any perversity or ingenuity of the officials who administered in the Spanish name. With the irresponsible curiosity- monger or the reckless adventurer the course for action by the authorities might have been clear; but they knew very well that to shoot the impartial Hxnatp Oommis- sioner as o spy would be murder— would be assassination. The Captain General in his action has tacitly admitted this reasoning, and we say it without reproach. ‘The way is now clear for Mr. O’ Kelly’s return, and, in common with the public, we look for- ward anxiously for his first words from the rebel camp. Premier Gladstone Deteated in Par- Mament—The Irish University Bill Rejected. Tho British House of Commons, after an earnest debate, has rejected the Irish Univer- sity bill proposed to Parliament by the Glad- stone Cabinet. The division took place at an early hour this morning, in a very full house. There were five hundred and sev- enty-one members present. Two hundred and eighty-four voted for the bill and two hundred and eighty-seven against it. The majority against the Ministry is, consequently, three. The announcement of the result pro- duced great excitement in the clubs and at the chief centres of news. The House of Com- mons adjourned to Thursday. This vote may have very important results. Whether Mr. Gladstone will accept it as a decisive defeat or a solemn pronouncement against his adminis- trative policy in general—against his educa- tional plans particularly—remains to be seen. Should he regard it in this light he would, or should, resign. He has been defeated before by small majorities—larger than the present, however—and retained office notwithstan- ding. The present vote indicates that the opposition has been rolling up new force and concentrating its strength with great skill for effective use. It proves also that the powerful sections of the High Church party in Britain proper are closely arrayed against the ecclesiastical legislation of the Premier, and that it will require the utmost effort on the part of his friends in Ireland, and among the English and Scotch democracy, and in the Universities, to sustain him in power. Should the Ministry survive until Midsummer Mr. Gladstone may resort to a dissolution of Par- liament, and try his chance for a reinvigora- tion of his official life at a general election, Jury Challenges. The State Legislature seems to hesitate about abolishing the cumbrous machinery of triers when jurymen are challenged upon suspicion of being favorable to the people or prejudiced against a prisoner. Several Bourbon lawyers have said at Albany that the abolition of triers would be unconstitutional and against the common law procedure, which always sanc- tioned their employment, and therefore was engrafted upon the constitution by the use of the word “inviolate,” when they assert ‘the trial by jury shall remain inviolate.’ But in the recent publication of the United States law of 1872 we find the following act, that certainly would not have passed Congress had there been doubt of the constitutionality of abolishing triers :— CHaPTBR 333.—An act to amend an act entitled “An act regulating proceedings in criminal cases and for other purposes.” Approved March 3, 1865, Be it enacted by the Senate aad House of Repre- sentatives of the United States of America, in Gon. gress assembled, That section 2 of the act entitled "An act regulating proceedings in criminal cases and for other purposes,”’ be and the same is hereby amended to read as follows:—Section 2, That when the offence charged be treason or a capital offence the defendant shall be entitled to twenty and the United States to five petetpvoty challenges; on the trial of any other felony the defendant skall pe entitled to ten and the United States to three peremptory challenges, and in all other cases, civil ‘ty shail be entitled to three id in all cases ae ants or several plaintil the parties on each side shall be deemed a single party for the a f all challenges under this section, All challenges, whether to the array or panel of to individual jurors for cause or favor, Bhal tried by the Court without the aid of triers, Approved June 8, 1872, In the Senate are very learned lawyers, like Conkling, Thurman, Edmunds, Casverly and Carpenter; and in the House such jurists as Bingham, Poland and Butler, who have been long accustomed to practice in the challenge law. It is certain, then, that the Bourbon doubts at Albany should not carry weight. And the Legislature would do well to enact a State law precisely similar to the faleral one now furnished. The Colored Men's Conventien—Bel- Mgerent and Civil Rights. The convention of colored people in Wash- ington Monday night seems to have teen held especially to give expressions favoralle to the Cubans and the freedom of the slaves in Cuba. It took, however, a wider range, aid other matters were discussed and acted upon as well. The question of equal civil rghts for the colored people with the whites ame up, and a resolution of sympathy with aad grati- tude to Senator Sumner was adopted, as was also an address prepared on the subject of Cuba and civil rights. The most interesting part of the proceedings was the speech of Gen- eral Banks. He advocated the conession of belligerent rights to the Cubans by our gov- ernment. In answering the queston as to what was meant bv helliceret rights | he said, “It means nothing more than that when a man who is fighting for his liberty shall be wounded or taken prisoner he shall be respected as a soldier and not be hanged like a pirate ora dog."’ He appealed to the government to concede to the Cubans the belligerent rights to which they are entitled by a long and heroic struggle, and because Spain had shown her inability to conquer them. ‘‘When,"’ he exclaimed, ‘‘will men at the State Depart- ment and at the White House and the men at the Capitol say that they are ready to accord belligerents rights?’”’ He then tells the col- ored people that though the government is hard of hearing it will act as soon as they demand action and arouse the country to a sense of justice to the Cubans, The conven- tion understood well enough that the freedom of the blacks in Cuba was not to be expected from Spain, and that the Cubans had already declared liberty to the slaves. This move- ment of the colored people is significant, and cannot fail to have a powerful influence in the end favorable to Cuban independence. British Treatment of 8: jeon—Ships Sent to Sean to Founder. Great Britain, boasted mistress of the ocean, stands indicted of careless indifference to the lives of those hardy seamen who have done so much to lay the foundation of her glory. This arraignment before the bar of public opinion comes from no obscure source. It is the de- liberate utterance of a member of her law- making power. Mr. Plimsoll, junior member of the House of Commons from Derby, pub- lished just at the recent convening of Parlia- ment a Blue Book detailing the infamous treat- ment of sailors by British merchants. He distinctly charges that they systematically send to sea ships which are unseaworthy, and which the slightest stress of weather must bury beneath the waves. Guilt like this should, if proved, suffice to banish the crimi- nal from society or suspend him at the end of a halter. Not alone is this offence charged against a class of shipowners generally ; it is stated that one or more mem- bers of Parliament itself are in the list of cul- prits, Allusion is made to one as ‘‘notorious for excessive and habitual overloading, and a reckless disregard for human life, who has lost seven ocean-going steamers and drowned more than a hundred men in less than two years.” Orédit Mobilier stock holding by Washington patriots hardly comes up to this in infamy. Impeachment of the guilty mem- bers of the imperial legislature, whose wealth is thus charged to be the price of sailors’ lives, has not yet been suggested. On the contrary, the author of the accusation was recently chal- lenged atthe bar of the House on a question of privilege, as having committed by this publication an assault upon the dignity of that august body. He at once confessed that he had been guilty of an inadvertent abuse of his position in making a general and vague mention of members, and set himself right by asking the House’s pardon. No retraction of the assertion of, the criminality was hinted at. Itissaid the members who are pointed at have begun libel actions against him. His main charge, and upon which he asks a Royal Investigation Commission, is that reckless haste for profit has induced a wicked disregard of the life and comfort of the seaman. Ships are built for speed and stowage solely. They are made of flimsy and defective materials, fit only to go to pieces in a moderate gale. Their copper plates have been found fastened with ‘devils’’—sham bolts, having a copper head and an inth of copper shaft, the rest being of iron. These coming in contact with the copper, under the action of salt water, turn it into a substance like black lead, that can be broken by the hand. In such devil- fastened vessels cargo is stowed almost enough to sink them in the dock. A case is given in which a steamer was laden with railroad iron till her deck was two feet and ten inches below the level of the water. She was despatched for the Baltic at a stormy season of the year and foundered not a score of miles off the English coast. Certain owners are known to the underwriters as habitual overloaders, so that brokers in effecting insurance upon cargo have to stipulate that it shall not be shipped in vessels owned by the obnoxious men. Against the rapacity of such rich and powerful merchants poor Jack has little chance of redress. It is not safe for him even to open his mouth. He is shipped for a voyage. Suppose on boarding his craft he finds her one likely to bear him to a watery grave. Should he attempt to desert the law compels him to serve out his contract, or, ifthe ship has sailed, he goes to jail. These charges |’, are made in a spirit of fearless devotion to the demands of humanity which are a credit to their author. If they are true England owes it to herself that the guilty should be exposed in the fullest manner to the scorn and obloquy ofall men, and that legal action be taken which shall at once and forever end this trade, as shameless as African man-stealing, and as full of horrors as the old time Middle Passage from the Guinea coast to the shores of slave- holding America. Freedom of the Press in New Jersey. The recent, attempts made by some legis- lative wiseacres in New Jersey to have the Henatp correspondent expelled from a seat in 6 corner of the Senate chamber as a means of frightening the Heratp out of its opposition to a railway monopoly is about as sensible and @ffective as would be the essay to keep out the tide off Cape May with bean pole. These legis- lators, for all their cunning in thé ways of the Pennsylvania Central, are especially verdant on the rights of the press in this Ropublic of ours. They certainly showed that Jersey still cultivates the art of blushing, for the legislators are ashamed of themselves. The removal of the reporter's camp stool from the floor of the chamber to the gallery would, they observed, be of small service in gagging the Henaty. This happy thought worked slowly through their minds as would a Jersey bluebottle fly through » sancer of treacle, When at last it had done so, they blushed with a charming suffusion, as we have before observed. Now, it makes very little difference whether our information is taken from the gallery or the roof or the floor of a building, so long os we get it This we can accomplish without asking the leave of legislators interested in sustain- ing something which the Hxranp in the interest of the people decides to condemn. We learn this evening that ‘‘Tom'’ Scott has decided to ‘gllow”’ the General Railroad bill to pass, and to run against the Jersey roads | on the competitive principle. May all the roads be built, and the best and cheapest win! PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. General John T. Morgan, of Alapama, is at the New York Hotel. Judge James E.

Parepa-Rosa or Nilsson would have been cheered at the sight of the audience assembled at Steinway Hall last night. And yet it was but a colored con- cert—not of the rose-tinted character which the above mentioned artists were accustomed to, bat dusky in its elements. A white audience sat and applauded the efforts of nineteen dark-skinned vocalists, who made up for a want of artistic train- ing by @ deal of earnestness, commendable energy and an intimate knowledge of the selected themes. Even the much vaunted Handel and Haydn Society would have failed to convey the occult sentiment of choruses like “Run, Mary, Run’ and “Sweet Canaan,” and the baton of Carl Zerrahn would have been powerless in the ‘Dat great gittin’ up morn- in’.” It requires a dusky Rudersdorff to “See de moon a bleedin’,” and an ebony Santley to “See de ary bonesa creepin’." However strange such strains may sound to regular concert-goers, the Hampton students sing them well and even create enthusiasm. It is not always mere correctness or artistic mechanism that stirs an audience. Earn- estness, combined with fire, can do a great deal. We have a notable instance of It on the eperatic stage. The last concert of these students takes place on Friday evening. Musical and Theatrical Notes. It is said that Messts, Lemoyne and Crisp and Miss Fanny Morant, of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, go to the Boston Museum next year. Boston seems to be particularly delighted with Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack. We are glad these great artists have succeeded there, especially as Rubinstein failed to come up to the Boston standard of excellence. Aflower basket, presented last night to Mme. cca, contained @ card, which announced the in- tention of the Ninth regiment to pay a particular homage of respect to the great prima donna by marching past her house, in Fourteenth street, to- day, at a quarter past six o’clock. The Brussels journalg say that Wagner's “Tannhauser” obtained an immense success at the ThéAtre de la Monnate. The artists were Several times recalled, and the orchestra was greatly applauded ror its splendid execution. Tne house was hired fer three representations. The performers were Miles. Marie Battu, Hamackers and Isaac, with MM. Warot and Berardi. On Friday night, wotle Mr. Moriami was singing Figaro at the Academy of Masic, two thieves opened his room in the Belvedere Motel, broke open his portmanteaus and several drawers, helped themselves to a sum of about two thousand dol'ars, a diamond pin, a gold watch and chain, and, fortunately being disturbed, did not know how to break open another drawer in which there were Mme. Moriami’s jewels, which would have been still severer @ loss. The thieves seem to have been acquainted with Mr. Moriami having just received his fortnightly pay, and hopes are en- tertained to get at the guilty party. Mr. Maretzek proposes to bring out this evening Weber's chef d’euvre, “Der Freischutz,” at the Academy. The last time this opera was produced by the Arion Vocal Society, with a strong cast. The present cast will be Agnese, Mme. Lucca; Amuetta, Miss Clara Doria; Caspar, M. Ja- met; Max, M. Vizgzani. Increased chorus and orchestra are promised, and the incantation will be presented with extraordinary effects. Weber's work has ever beeX & favorite in this city. Mme. Lucca takes her bonefit on the 24th, singing Leonora in “Il Trovator®.” In 1859 M. Ambroise Tho.™14s wrote the music and M. Sauvage the libretto of a Mece called “Gillotin et son Pere,” which was accepte,1 by the manager of the Opéra Comique. It was not bro Nght out because the performers abandoned the theat:’e While it was under rehearsal, This was in 1860, si.e then M.

Republican Losses in the Principal Towns Straw and Weston Very Close on the Gubernatorial Vote. Concorp, N. H., March 11, 1873. I write at ten o'clock, when returns of to-day’s election are but partially in. So far it appears that the three democratic Congressmen have been elected, and the probability is that Weston, demo- Crat, is chosen Governor, but it is possibie that the election of Governor may go to the Regisiature. Large democratic gains.have been made in Man- chester and Nashua, almost enough to overcome the republican majority of 1872. In the smaller towns there have been preportionate gains on the Governor vote in very many instances, so that the general aspect of the results is as above statea. There are no returns yet in to indicate how the Senatorial vote has gone, but it is believed that the democrats will have at least seven out of the twelve, and some claim nine. Nothing has been definitely heard trom the Councillor's districts, but it 1s thought that the Governor's vote indicates their security to the democrats of at least three out of the five Representatives, The republicans will have a majority, but a much smaller one than last year. The weather to-day was exccedingly stormy, and the vote was small accordingly, especially in the northern and eastern section of the State, There is a good deal of excitement in this city to- night, and despatches from Manchester and Nashua speak of considerable there also, The repub- licans are rather low spirited over the prospects, butin fact their hopes have not been at all high during the campaign. The democrats have been ver quiet, but, asl write, an occasional sign of tri- umpn is heard. The Crédit Mebilier and the Con- erent Salary bill have done the work for the lemocrats. The people could not stand such im- positions on their sufferance, and hundreds of re- publicans either declined to vote or gave their votes to the democrats. The republican press really did tne work of defeating them- selves, for they have kept harping away on these tender subjects for weeks, believing that they were making capital thereby, whereas they only contributed to keep up an irritated state of feeling in their party which, if they had left to the demecratic papers to do, would not have met the eyes of a tithe of their party in the State. The thing was done by concert, but the music was the most inharmonious they could make. The democratic and liberal presses contented themselves meanwhile by ur on their readers the great importance of rebuking Congressional dishonesty and extrava- e and allowed the republican papers to do u| he condemnation thereof. The bad logic an worse arguments they used hurt their cause ex- ceedingly in the estimation of all sensible, thinking men oftheir party. Now, in the face of the re- sults of this day’s election, there is not so much joy ever the defeat ef the repub- licans as there is over the example the event will show to other States and the moral condemnation it fixed on recent transactions of Congress, There is a truly patriotic feeling preva- lent and not one on which selfish considerations have all the sway. New Hampshire democrats think they have done nobly to-day, and many re- publicans tnink so with them. S. K. Mason and John Blackmer were nominees of tne liberal republicans and prehibitory liquor law men respectively for Governor. The present con ressional delegation, Messrs. Hibbard, Bell an arker, are democrats, and candidates for re- election, ‘The republican candidates are W. B. Small, A. F. Pike and 8. G. Griffin.

Balloting Yesterday on Beacon Hill— Boutwell Has a Majority of Thirty- two in the House—Dawes Five Ahead in the Senate—Strong Chances in Favor of the Secretary of the Treas- ury. Boston, March 11, 1873. ° The preliminary steps towards the election of a ’ United States Senator to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Vice President Wilson were taken in the Massachusetts Legislature to-day. Caucusing in advance was as cautious as it was thorough. Outside the State House and the circles immediately interested the approach of the elec- tion was scarcely known; but up at the Oapitel on Beacon Hill there has been a daily counting of noses for the past fortnight. Of course there was something of an extra crowd of politicians present on the occasion, and the successful competitor will probably hear from some of them during his Sena- torial services, unless they are silenced early by » fat oflice. The two leading candidates for the Vice Presi- dent’s vacancy, as is well-known, are Mr. Boutwell, of tne Treasury Department, and Mr, Dawes, the Congressional member of the western district. Aside from these, such men as Dr. Loring, of Salem, President of the State Senate, and William Whiting, Stanton’s war solicitor and mem- ber of Congress elect from one of the Bos- ton districts, are willing to receive Senatorial honors. But from to-day’s voting probably neither one of them are over aid above confidéit, “~~ Among those who received stragg! ng and com. plimentary votes are General Banks and Oongress- man Hoar, the late Attorney General Hosr, the t Whittier, Speaker Sanford, of the House, and Ktayor Tarbox, of Lawrence.

THE ELECTION IN CAMDEN. PHIDADELPHIA, Pa., March 11, 1873, A municipal election was held in Camdea, N. J., to-day. At eleven P. M. the indications were that the re- Publicans had carried every ward except the Third, ORANGE (N, J.) MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, The town elections were held in Urange and East Orange yesterday. Both towns were carried by the republicans. In Orange, Mayor Edward Aus- ten (democrat) was re-elected, there being no op- position candidate, All three Councilmen elected are republicans—Messrs, Haywood A, Harvey, Charies E. Dodd and Thomas O, Ayres, ge the main question was whether the uld run on Sunday or not. The vote ‘ried by 140 Majority, BRUTAL HIGHWAY ROBBERS, Sovrn Norwavk, Conn., March 11, 1573.
