o-4 MONMOUTH PARK, | First Day of the First Meeting. THE TRACK FREB:TO ALL. A MULTITUDE IN ATTENDANCE, FOUR EXCITING RACES. George West Wins the Steeple Chase, Artist the Mile Dash, Katy Pease the Mile Heats and Tom Bowling the Jersey Derby Stakes. LonG BRANCH, July 4, 1873, Tothe races! Words of magic meaning to the Multitude who have come to witness them this hot Summer day, and whose very existence for the time being seemed bound up in the trial of speed between highbred equines that came off to-day. On to Monmouth Park! is the watchword, as if it were of all places the only place worth going to just now. Scarcely has one line of cars emptied ita human cargo, when another arrives, with its pent up, perspiring mass of humanity, panting for a breath of air in the terrible, scorch- ing heat, Through the park gate pour the multi- tude, and then distend over the fleld within the enclosure, like some mighty swollen river break- ing through its embankment and flooding the plain. And how eagerly they are discussing THE “GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTIES” ‘@pon which they have staked their money and their peace of mind! For the interest in the Mon- mouth Park races was never greater than on the present occasion, and never were there larger crowds in attendance. There was a happy com- bination of all the circumstances that can make a racing day exciting and Memorable in the sporting annals of the country. The hot weather which lures the multitude from cities on the great national day, the peculiarly “glorious uncertainties” attaching to the event of three great horses being brought together for the first time, added to the fact that the owners of two at least had backed them heay- fly and had unbounded confidence in victory, and last, but chief of all, the intreduction of a novel feature—free admission to the racecourse. All these coincidences tended to bring THE MASSES TO MONMOUTH PARK. There were fully twenty thousand people, there. All classes of American society (without distinc- tuon of race, color and previous condition of servi- tude) were represented. The mighty metropolis furnished its characteristic contingent, There they were on the grand stand or the quarter stretch, the broker, the banker and the small fry of Wall street, taking to betting on horses as if in their native element It ts wonderful in how brief a time Superficial information may be picked up. There ‘was the counting house clerk, or the salesman ‘who measures things by the yard, turned betting man, talking of equine pedigrees as familiarly as if he had been born to the turf. Then the more democratic crowd in the field, rough and boister- ous, but good natured withal; the New York rowdy, ‘the Philadelphia plug and “the man and brother” fraternizing in the most harmonious manner. But ob, how hot it was! The sun looked down with a fiery glare upon the scene, and around THE GRAND STAND, which at a distance looked like a vast ant hill—so densely packed was it with people—there was not @ breath of air stirring. All the spectators were Dathed in perspiration, save the more fortunate dew who had admission to the Club House and en- joyed the cool breezes that played around its Shaded verandas. And there was & goodiy num- ber of mortals, known a8 prominent, present to Witness the races, Further on will be found a detailed recital of the racing, which was all that could be desired. But ‘the greatest excitement was reserved for the last part of the programme, THE CONIEST FOR THE JERSEY DERBY. Tom Bowling,Springbok and Count D’Orsay were ‘the words that continually struck upon the ear from out the excited jumble of voices. Tne enthusiasm became so contagious that even the calm, disinter- ested spectator began to doubt whether there was any else in creation worth talking about ex- cept the three famous horses above men- tioned; but Tom Bowling was monarch in the thoughts of the majority. Tne pe- culiar, unctuous voice of Doc, Underwood is heard, Juring, in syren-like Apaeh Porchasers ol pools, and crowds congregate around the stand where the French mutuals are sold. As the horses enter for. this race necks crane jorward aud loud comments upon the javorites ring out upon the hot, oppres- sive air, There stands the owner of ‘Tom bow jing, HENRY M’GRATH, THE STURDY KENTUCKIAN, casting upon his horse a look of intentness and in- tensity--a look of watchiul, exacting, yet devoted affection, At last the horses dash away amid the loud mur- murs 01 the multitude. As they near tue heme- Stretch, and the victory oi Tom Bowling seemed all but certain, the multitude became wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement. The scene which followed deties description. ‘the backers of Tom Bowling simply Went mad with joy and exul- tation. Men threw up their hats In the air, Tegardiess of their inevitable loss or destruction, Some jumped about so frantically tuat they seemed to lose their arms and legs. Others yelled to such an extent that it will take them some time to re- cover thelr voices. The ladies were also demon- Strative, but in their own graceful wav. Many ot the disappointed ones joinedin the chorus of shouts; others took their losses: in silence. The backers oi Springbok, who was the first Javorite for awhile, “dropped” heavily, and to them the day ‘will not be a pleasant reminiscence, THE RACING. ‘The multitude who visited Monmouth Park yes- terday will long remember the exciting races that came off. The track was in capital condition, the day fine and the horses in the highest form. Four Faces were run, the first being a steeple chase, with four runners; the second @ mile dash, by six good horses, for a purse; then mile heats, by seven good horses, and afterwards the great Jersey Derby Stakes, for three-year-olds, which originally elosed with forty-nine entries, The steeple chase had four entries and three starters. These were J. Donahue’s chestnut geld- ing George West, by Asteroid, dam Kate Hayes, carrying 145 pounds; D, J. Bannatyne’s brown gelding Duffy, by Hunter's Lexington, dam Omo, 461 pounds; John Boughram’s chestnut gelding Sorrel Dan, by Revenue, dam unknown, 151 pounds, ‘The other entry was J. W. Weldon, Jr.’s, bay geld- Ing Corsican, by Uncie Vic, dam by Sovereign, who as shown up to the judgesas irretrievably broken fown, the injury being done in his work the flay before. In this race Duffy was the favorite over the fleld at two to one. He slippeda flag goon after making the first jump, which was over the wall in frent of the club stand, and his jockey kept on, supposing the trick would not be seen by the judges. He came in halfa length in front of George West, but lest the race for running foul. Sorrei Dan teil twice in the race, to the great en- ape of those who patronize steeple-chasing tor jhe sole purpose of witnessing the accidents that occur.

In the betting for several days precedin, the race yest pringbok ruled as favorite, an: Dot until the it betore the race at the West End Hotel. where pool selling was heaviest, did ‘Tom Bowling come to the front as favorite. His owner, Mr. rath, in his anxtety to get his money on his own horse, and to try by example to convince his friends that he had the world beaten, made Tom Bowling the favorite in a few pools, ‘To show the confidence that Mr. McGrath had in his horse, when asked in the presence of a party of ladies and gentlemen who visited the ie just revious 3 the race, among the number ing ex-Governor Bowie, of Maryland, and Mr. Boot the present Collector of the port of Baltimore, Mac said that “the finish of the race would put them all in mind of a lion being chased by a parcel of dogs, the dogs keeping a safe dis- pean | in the rear.” Tne remarks of McGrath were verified by the result, and henceforth, probably, some of the ladies, shouid they meet the old bache- lor on the race track at @#future time, may wish to know “which will win.’ But to the details of the races:— The First Race.

Duffy went off with the lead, Sorrel Dan second, George West third. They ran slowly to a sod wall, Sorrel Dan showing the way, Duify second, George West third. They then ran to the fence crossing the track, near the quarter pole, so slow as almost to put an observer to sieep, uty being first over, Sorrel Dan second, George West ten lengths be- hind. In the far field, by the stables, another fence was jumped, Sorrel Dan being a length in front, but when theycame to @ sod wall close by Sorrel Dan fell and lay on the ground several seconds, with his rider alongside of him. Dui then led eight or ten lengths down the hill ani over the and then up and across the track into the field, where they zene over @ fence and then two sod walls, Duffy lead- ing half a dozen lengths. The horses then came to the principal jump, which was hedge and water, in front of the grand stand. Duffy led over this about six lengths, Just as Dutly and West lett the water, Sorre! Dan was seen ‘on tue Jar side of the track in motion continuing the race. 1t may be well to finish nis run beiore we go on with the other. Sorrel Dan jumped the fences and sod walls on the way to the hedge and water in front of the grand stand, but when he jumped there he fellagain and was finally taken to his stable. In neither of the falls was either the horse or rider injured, i We now go back to Dutly and George West. When they left the water jump George West began closing gradually on Duffy, and when they paasod.exsr the sod wall in front of the club house Duffy led just five lengths. At the fence into the homestretch Dutty was four lengths in front, but then there were two hurdles on the regulur track to get over, and West seemed very much the faster horse of the two as he ran down the backstretch. He closed gradually all the way, and at the hurdle at the half-mile pole was but alength benind. West closed up closer on the lower turn, but then he began showing symp- toms of distress. Duty shook him off at the home- stretch; but after getting over the last hurdie Duffy, too, began to jump short, and then George West seemed to, come ane and, after as fine a struggle as could possibly be desired, Duffy went home a winner by halt a length. The race was given to George West, however, as the judges dis. covered that Duffy had gone the wrong side of the flag at the second jump alter the start. Time, 7:88. The Second race.

Knowing full well the capacity of the horse under him, Bob kept Tom Bowling in hand down the backstre! and allowed Springbok to take sides with him at the half-mile pole, passing which Tom Bowling merely had bis head in front, Springbok second, four lengths in advance of D'Orsay, the latter being four lengths ahead of Galway Long Branch fourth, two lengths ahead of iy B the Lightning colt sixth, Whisper seventh, At this time cries were heard by the backers of the confederacy, ‘Springbok wins!’? and this seemed to be the impression of all the backers Of that horse, and even by many others; yet if they had been scanning closely through glasses the positions of the two horses as they ran around the lower turn they would have been satis- fled that Tom Bowling let Springbok lay at his side by favor only, as the latter was driving while the other was puling all the way to the three-quarter pole. AS soon as Tom Bowling turned into the homestretch he came away irom Springbok in llant style, and could have beat him home a dozen lengths.

The first mile was run in 1:49, the mile from the judges’ stand back again in 1:54, and the mile and a half 2:45%, which is verv poor time for.such high rated horses. And this closed the first day of the frst Summer meeting at Monmouth Park. DEERFOOT PARK. Three Lively 'rrotting Contests—-Emmiec the Winner of the Three-Minute Purse, Lyman the 2:45 Race and Scotland Maid the 2:34 Premtum. The celebration of Independence Day at Deerfoot Park was of the liveliest imaginable nature. Superintendent McMabon placed upon the card three tretting events, the announcement of which drew together at the track between six hundred and seven hundred persons, the majority of whom drove from the city and Brooklyn in carriages, ‘Ihe purees offered filled quite well, and, much to the satisiaction of the assemblage, were grandly contested, the favorites in two of the events being besten, THE THREE-MINUTE PURSE. First on the list wasa purse of $50, for horses that had never beaten three minutes; mile heats, best three in five, in harness. Entered for this were Hiram Howe’s roan mare Emmie, Jobn Kelly's sorrel mare Kate, George Hard’s roan mare Sarah, A. Foster's bay gelding Rocky Road, Joseph Camp- bell’s gray gelding Stranger, A. S. Rogers’ sorrel gelding Champion, John W. Carroll’s bay gelding Billy and P. Toman’s bay gelding Young Allen. Of these all came tor the work with the exception of Sarah and Rocky Road. This con- test was exceedingly spirited, requiring six heats te decide it. Before the first heat Emmie was the favorite, and continued to have the call until Stranger won the second heat, when the latter came into favor. Then Champion won two heats, and he became first choice at money even over the field. Emmie won the first, fifth and sixth heats and the race, Champion being distanced in the last heat. Billy and young Allen were ruled out, not having won a heat in five, SUMMARY.

A Woman Alleged To dered in Twenty.fifth Street—The Hus- band and Son Arrested on Suspicion— Post Mortem Exam tion. Shortly after three o’cloek yesterday morning Oficer Carson, of the Eighteenth precinct, reported to the sergeant in charge at the station house that Mary McCabe, an Irish woman, forty-one years of age, had died at her residence, 317 East Twenty- fifth street, from the effects of injuries to the head and stomach, alleged to have been inflicted at the hands of her husband, John McCabe, fifty Fears of agé, and ner son John, aged seventeen. The suspected son states that he left home at one o’clock Thursday afternoon, and returning at six o’clock in the evening, found his mother lying on the floor, bleeding from the nose, He says he lifted her to the bed, and, going away again, did not return till midnight, when he found hia mother in the same position he had leit her, but quite dead. Edward McCabe, nine years of age, son of deceased, on being questioned in relation to the matter, said that at about nine o’clock in the even- ing his father came in and spoke to Mrs. McCabe, but receiving no reply, struck her several blows in ornear the stomach. Eaward further states that a short time previous to his father coming home pons John struck his mother in the face. Dr. janvorn was called in, and expressed the opinion that Mrs. McCabe had died trom the effects of violence. Both father and son were arrested and locked up to await the action of the Coroner. { eomere McCabe, the boy, was detained as a wit- Eliza Medovern, @ woman living in the next room to deceased, stated that she saw Mrs. McCabe about eleven o’c!ock on Thursday morning with a bloody nose, which she said was caused by her son John striking heron the nose witha shoe brush, McCabe, his wife and Jonn, Jr., were in the habit of drinking and quarrelling, and had a “grow!” on jursday aiternoon, after which Mrs. McGovern saw deceased lying on the floor with blood on her race and also onthe floor, At that time McCabe was sitting at the window with the baby in his arms, and appeared quite unconcerned, as though nothing troubied him. Mrs. McGovern soon saw young John McCabe, and told him he had better go in and look aiter his mother, to which he replied, “i'll let her lie and sleep it off,’ meaning the liquor she had drank. Sinee their arrest the prisoners deny having as- sauited deceased, and say they knew nothing con- cerning her death. Coroner Kessen took charge of the case, and will hold an inquest on the case on Monday next. POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION. An autopsy was made by Deputy Coroner Leo, atthe residence of deceased, about five o’clock last evening, the body presenting a disgusting appearance, and showing plainly ‘the violence to which the unfortunate woman had been subjected, Under the chin was a small incised cut; the right side oi the face was badly bruised; the right eye was swollen; directly over the nose was a bruise. The rear part of the scalp was ecchymosed, Removing the calvarium the dura mater was found congested, and beneath it, covering the whole side ofthe left’ hemisphere of the brain, was a large clot of extravasated blood, causing compression of the brain and death—in the docter’s opinion the resuit o! violence. The various internal organs would seem to indicate the woman had been ad- dicted to an excessive use of alcoholic stimulant, HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND PROBABLE MUR- DER A Long Island Farmer Beaten and Robbed by Highwaymen in Broad Daylight. Yesterday morning John Dennis, @ marketman, in the employ of Mr. Ditmis Van Sicklen, of Ja- maica, South, on his retarn from market, was beaten and robbed by two highwaymen whom he had allowed to ride upon his wagon. Between eleven and twelve o’clock yesterday the team ana wagon driven by Dennis came home without @ driver. Mr. Van Sicklen, who at the time was working near the house, noticing this fact and fearing something was wrong, at once went to the wagon and was startled to find Dennis lying on the bottom insensible, with a terrible cut on his right tempie, from which the blood was oozing. Near the body of Dennis lay a heavy wrench, with which the murderous blow ‘had been tnficted. A physician was at once called, and the injured man rallied sufficiently to tell that he had been beaten and robbed, when he again lapsed into a state of un- consciousness. From the iew facts that have been learned irom the tollgate keeper, Mr. Abrams, whose gate is on the Jamaica, South, plank road, about one mile west of Mr. Van Sicklen’s farm, Dennis passed through the gate, on his way bome, about eleven o’clock, having at the time on the wagon with him two colored. men Pepe! trig When he paid his toll he took from his pocket a large roll of bills, of which the colored men appeared to take particular notice. Dennis, who had been up at market all night, was no doubt sleepy, and it is believed fell into @ dose shertly after ieaving the gate, and as the team struck in the woods near the old Centre- ville race track he was struck on the head by the bighwaymen and then robbed. Mr. Van. Sicklen says that the amount stolen will not vary far from $90, which was about the price that he snould have received for his load. As soon as the affair became known the farmers residing at Jamaica, South, turned out en masse aud searched the woods and roads with the hope of securing the highwaymen, but up toa late hour last night their etforts had been unsuccessful. Dennis was still unconscious last evening, and but slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. FALSE ALARM ABOUT THE CHOLERA. fome-teter i emneen Only a Case of Cholera Morbus, Quite an excitement was created yesterday in the neighborhood of 88 King street in consequence of the circulation of a report that Mr. Richard W. Hail had died at the above number from genuine Asiatic cholera, Deceased had been attended by Dr. Clark, of West Houston street, who, from the symptoms, supposed they were those usually exhibited in cases of cholera, The mat- ter was brought to the attention of Sanitary Superintendent vay, of the Board of Health, who accordingly made an investigation, He learned that deceased had been sick with diarrhea for three weeks past, and tiiat on Thursday afternoon he filled his stomach with cucumbers, ice cream and ice water, aiter which he was taken suddenly worse and died some hours subsequently. From what the sanitary Inspector saw and heard of the case he was of the impression that Mr. Hall aid not die from Asiatic cholera, but from an aggra- vated attack of cholera morbus, and such was the opinion of Deputy Coroner Joseph Cushman, who ‘was called in his oficiai capacity. POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION. At five o'clock yesterday afternoon penne Coro- ner Cushman, assisted by Dr. Thomas C. Finnell, made a post-mortem examination on the body of deceased in the presence of Dr. Jones, of the Health Board, aud a number of other medieal gentiemen, and the opinion arrived at by Drs. Cushman an Finnell was that Mr. Hall died of acute cholera morbus following protracted diarrhea. Coroner Young then empanelled a jury who, aiter weighing the testimony, rendered a verdict corresponding with the medical testimony, thus quieting the fears of those in the house and many residents of that locality who belleved the case was one of cholera. Mr. Hall was forty-one years @f age and a native of Englana, SUPPOSED FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY. Committed by Coroner Herrm: On Thursday evening John Herey and John Long, two reckless youths, aged respectively six- teen and seventeen years of age, living in Brook- lyn, provided themselves with small single-bar- relled pistols, and came over the ferry to this city for the purpose of celebrating the Fourth of July. Loading themselves with Fourth ward whiskey the boys commenced practicing with their firearms, and after midnight, while near the corner of Water and Dover streets, John Herey, as alleged, bing it shot’ in the left breasi ba the charge of Long’s pistol. Directiy afterwards dis himself was shot in the left hand by discharge of Herey’s pis- tol. Officer O'Sullivan, of the Fourth precinct, hi ng an alarm given by Long, ran up and ar- rested him, and at the same time, meeting Herey, heard him that he had been shot by Long, the @ entered the left breast a thought, penetrating the lung.

THE ENGLISH FINANCIAL SITUATION. “CAN’T YOU LET IT ALONE?” A Free Banking System Suggested. THE GERMAN GOLD COINAGE The Return of the Bank of Prussia. WALL STREET, Fripay, July 4, 1873. Tn the absence of any local financial news, which of course is not expected, in consequence of the day, the foreign files received from England fur- nish food for thought to all who are interested in the condition of the markets on the other side, One of the chief themes of discussion is the bill introduced by the Uhancellor of the Exchequer for authorizing, in certain contingencies, a temporary increase of the amount of BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES, It provides that whenever the First Lord of the ‘Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, alter communication with the Governor and Deputy Governor of the bank, are satisfied that the minimum rate of interest then being charged by the bank on diseounts and temporary advances is not less than twelve per cent, that the foreign exchanges are favorable to this country, and that a large portion of the exist- ing circulation is rendered ineffective for its ordi- nary purpose by reason of internal panic, they may empower the issue department of the bank to make, in excess of the authorized issue, @ specia, and temporary issue of notes, in exchange for an equal amount of government securities, and that the bank shall pay to the government the profit of such issue, which is in no case to be less than twelve per cent per annum, subject to adeduction of two per cent, which may be allowed to the bank for its expenses. The Investors’ Guardian, in its comments on the foregoing proposition, contends that the bill Places restrictions and conditions upon the exer- cise of the reserved discretion of the bank, thereby crippling its action, with the possibility of making THE POSITION OF THB MONEY MARKET worse than beiore. Hence the suggestion that the advice of Lord Melbourne should be followed when in doubt what to do:—‘Can’t you let it alone ?”” Enlarging upon his subject, the writer says:— It has for along time been felt that in prosperous seasons, and so long as all goes well, and the savings of the community all gravitate into the banker's hands, and so ultimately go to swell the Bank of England reserve, the vast mercantile ma- chinery of the country works easily and smoothly. Bat it is no less notorious and matter of common observation that when adverse times arrive and the ordinary tokens of credit are distrusted, then the currency of the Kingdom 1s manifestly inade- quate duly to represent the transactions of the community. In elect, so long as there is no demand for the legal curren¢y it is adequate to all pur- poses; but the moment when, irom ordinary or special causes, the demand becomes intense, it 18 immediately apparent that the entire legal cur- rency is ludicrously inadequate to perform its ap- propriate duty ol representing and becoming the medium of exchange for vaiues. ‘thus in smooth Umes tue community intrusts its surplus cash to the bankers, while in times oi stringency the banks are wholly unable to extend the reciprocal favor of Jending out or paying out the same amounts. This system tends to PRECIPITATE PANICS, which, when they arrive, are met by the expedient of suspending the Bank act. There are several wi of conquering the difficulty. First, the Bank of England mignt be constituted the State bank, with power of issuiug bank notes to any extent against adequate value, the only effect of which would be to place the command of currency and of markets in the hands of the responsible ministry, instead of in the hands of a ly banking cor- poration ruled by merchants in the city. Secondly, every banker in Loudon, both private and joint stock, might be authorized to issue his own prom- ises to pay in the shape of his own Lank notes, which would be currency to ali such as chose to re- ceive and dealin them. Or, thirdly, the present system might be continued, with an untet- tered discretion of an extended issue of bank notes on the part of the Bank directors, It 18 quite Clear that some course is requisite to en- large the scope of potential, if not of actual cur- rency, if THE PROSPERITY OF THE NATION is to continue at its present rate ol progress, Mr. Lowe’s proposal is not founded on any comprehen- sive or statesmanlike view and it embodies no large or enlightcued policy inthe matter. Like his memorable ez luce lucellum experiment in taxation it 18 an attempt to extract a small bene- fit rom conditions which admit of none. At pres- ent, when the sound judgment with which the commercial finance of the country is regulated yields to the pressure of circumstances and is confessedly inadequate to cope with a storm, @ remedy is afforded by an appeal to Whitet which, by bringing the credit of the nation to tl reilef of the city, allays all apprehension and re- moves the pressure Which was at once its cause and its effect in enhanced degrees. ‘These arguments are not unlike those employed by our own financiers, who claim that America also requires an ©xpansion Of currency in order to successfully carry out the great business enter- prises that have been inaugurated during the last decade, and who are about to initiate a campaign in favor of A FREE BANKING SYSTEM in the Untted States. The time is not yet at hand fora full discussion of this subject, but the act that so radical a change has been suggested with reference to the stald old conservative Bank of England shows what a tremendous revolution has been wrought in the financial world withina few years, as the result of enhanced wealth and the movement of large masses of capital between the civilized peoples of Christendom. ‘The condition of the London market, as reported on the 2ist of June was regarded as good. An ac- tive demand prevailed for money at about 5% per cent, the terms for six months’ bills being 4}¢ to & percent. For advances on British government securities from day to day 634 to 6 per cent was paid, The bank return 1s again highly satisfactory. The stock of bullion has further increased as much as £792,662 and the reserve £924,527, The propor- tion of reserve to liabilities is now about 30% per cent. The other securities have diminished by £1,872,910, The amount of notes in circulation is £24,891,200, being @ decrease of £131,865; and the stock of bul- lion in both departments is £21,851,190, showing an increase of £792,662 when compared with the pre ceding return. Asthe influx of sovereigns from abroad during the week was limited to £330,000, the sum of £462,662 must have come in from the home currency. ‘The amount of the German gold coinage in the week ending the Sist of May was upwards of 18,600,000 marks, or about £680,000, making the total to that date about £33, 850,000, The Vienna papers of the 10th ult. contain an advertisement of the Board of Directors of the Vienna Exchange Bank, stating that the bank is compelled by the present condition of affairs to suspend payment, in order to pi re all ite assete for equal distribution among its creditors. Prep- arations, it is added, are being made to secure in the shortest possible time, by a voluntary liquida- tion, the payment of every liability. For the share- holders the prospect appears bad. The return of the Bank of Prussia for the week ending the 14th is again rather favorable, the cash having increased £357,000, and the discounts and advances having diminished £502,000, The circu- lation bas, however, increased £166,000.

THE PROSEQUTION OF MISS ANTHONY. To THR EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Your reporter’s account of Susan B. Anthony's “indignation meeting” perplexes me exceedingly. Ihave either lost what little common sense I pos- sessed in my younger days or there was a “plenti- ful lack’? of that quality of mind displayed by all the officials connected with Miss Anthony’s prose- ention. Ahundred Miss Anthonys might have of- fered to vote, as hundreds of other fe do offer at every election, without offence. Inspectors, with the simplest possible amount of intelligence, decline to receive the votes of persons notoriously cad desea ‘The offence consisted in receiving an de} ting illegal votes. And yet Inspectors of Election, District Attorneys, Grand Juries and a United States District Court have, with ® stupidity, unparalleled, walked deliberately into Miss An- thony’s trap. The government officials have given that lady and her strong-minded cisely the case they have been 80 lo} deavoring to work up. Upon Judge Hunt's $! fine agitation will be resumed.
