A Brave Pousceman.—The gallant conduct ef Officer Byrnes, of the Eighth precinct, on ‘Wednesday evening, when set upon in the dis- charge of his duty by four ruffians, calls for special commendation. Although he was beaten to the floor of the saloon in which the affray took place and treated in the most bru- tal manner by his assailants, he made such sturdy resistance that he succeeded in the end in putting two of the rowdies to flight and conveying their companions to the station house. Here is a most deserving case of pro- motion for the Police Commissioners. Our police have no easy time in many of the pre- cincts in dealing with the dangerous classes, and when such an encouraging example of bravery is held up to them and is suitably re- warded the effect cannot be other than bene- ficial. Therefore the Commissioners should see at once that this brave young policeman receive the award due to his unfliiching zeal in the discharge of duty. Tae Axnvat Froop or Unnire Frort.— Our markets and fruit stands are beginning to afford indications that the annual flood of green apples and peaches and other unripe fruits is upon us. These fruits are the cause of a large proportion of our Summer diseases, especially among the young, who devour them whenever opportunity occurs, and the conse- quence is our weekly death record is swelled enormously. Can not something be done to t the traffic in these unhealthy fruits? The sale of poisons is regulated to some ex- tent by law ; then why should not the sale of these fruits be subjected to some wholesome supervision? Meanwhile parents and guardians cannot be too careful of their charges of tender years, for in connection with the seeds of disease impregnating the atmosphere in nearly every part of the city, and with city officials who are criminally negligent in looking after the sanitary condi- tion of the metropolis, especially in the fat boiling and offal rendering sections, the grim spectre has a formidable ally in the unripe fruits of the season, and every precaution should bo taken to vxevent theix geperal pat NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, J Don Carlos in Spain—Republicanism and Its Foes—England’s Attitude. Tho special Hrnatp despatches describing the entry of Don Carlos into Spain, which we publish elsewhere, mark an important epoch in the struggle between reactionisam and the Republic. At ten o'clock on the morning of the 16th instant the Carlist Pretender, .6- suming the title of King, crossed the Pyrenees from France. Among the party of five that mude the new venture was a HxnaLp cor- respondent. Don Carlos went in, we are informed, in plain clothes, but soon donned a uniform of blue and secar- let and gold, and was shortly after receiving the allegiance of the soldiers at Zurragamurdy amid general rejoicing. Guns boomed, bells rang, a 7¢ Deum was sung in church, and the Carlist leaders and the little border town made the most of the occasion. Thus auspiciously passed off an event which may be the first scene of a royal farce or a royal tragedy, or, remotely enough, a royal triumph. Pretenders with titles ‘by the grace of God,'’ every whit as clear as Don Varlos, have donned brilliant uniforms before now and mounted on bay chargers donated by sympa- thizers only to find that plain clothes had been a safer investment, The entry of the Pretender draws attention to the state of the country which he aims to rule, according to the old absolute method, with some modern improvements. The out- look is not bright. The flight of Amadeus gave Spain bloodlessly to the Republic ; but it soon became evident that the powers of evil were too many to allow a peacetul consumma- tion of free government. Despite the im- mense strides made towards popular gov- ernment by the masses in the towns, no country in Europe could boast of ao more ingrained class of devotees to old monarchical ideas. To the nobles and clergy the monarchy held out visions of the old time caste privileges, emoluments and power, and to the ignorant peasants, par- ticularly of the Basque Provinces, the mon- archy was a sacred dream, because the clergy and the nobles said it was. Left to them- selves the Carlist party would have reached the point of extinction long since. Circum- stances, not altogether to be unforeseen, came to their assistance. So long as Carlism had before it an army fighting in the name of a king, although an Italian born boy, it possessed no strength on Spanish soil, and seemed as hopeless as it had at any time since Isabella was placed on the throne by English help, and the Don Carlos of the period was driven into the exile from which his grandson has now returned in high feather. So long, in fact, as it was king against king, outside governments looked on indifferently, and a constitutional King, if any, was more acceptable to the general thought of Spain. When the throne of Amadeus toppled one of the most hopeful signs for the young Republic was this division among tho royalists. The Alfonsists, or those who upheld the claims of the son of the ex-Queen, betook themselves to a ‘‘mas- terly inactivity,’’ marked by the sullen protest, of abstention from all share in the elections. Toanable and resolute ministry this would have been from recognized foes 2 most wel- come attitude; as it was, it tended greatly to un- nerve the men, who, whatever their patriotism, were new to the responsibility of government. Tho absence of a strong royalist opposition in the Cortes allowed the extreme reds almost a free head, and hence, when the sweeping away of the Carlists in the North should have been the first task, the Republic was being weakened by the dissensions of its leaders. While, therefore, the Alfonsists were folding their hidalgoism within their mantles and looking from beneath lowering brows at the state of affairs, Carlism, with the King-loving clergy and the hardy, superstitious peasantry of the North on its side, was carrying on a guerilla war in the mountains, not very bril- liant in itself, but without any whole-souled armed opposition from the republican army. Its position at present, taken at its own word, is that it possesses ten thousand men in the field. The population of Spain is nearly sixteen millions. What its chances would be with a Cromwell in the field against it can with this light be estimated. From viewing the disordered state of Spain, with Carlism rampant in mountain passes and descending on small towns in the North; from a republican treasury that shows no signs of repletion, a republican government vigorous only in word, and a half-hearted army badly led, we may turn to the influences at work without against the Republic. The much- dreaded influence of Rome we do not count as much in the exterior forces bear- ing down on_ the Republic; for, whatever its desires, it can but stimulate the ardor of the clerical party in Spain itself, which clings, like all human parties, to the side promising it most spoils and most power. In the gagged and fettered Republic of France it has, governmentally, no friend. The mon- archists, who, with the timid republicans, form the majority in the Assembly, are, “like the poor cat i’ th’ adage,’’ letting their dis- cretion overawe their will, and can only offer facilities furtively to their Spanish fellow monarchists who plot in the south of France and find the roads across the Pyreneean bor- der mysteriously free from gendarme or sol- dier, as did Don Carlos on his late ride with his French legitimist friends and a Henap correspondent. well worth the study of Americans. That forty years ago the British government sent its legion to Spain to defeat the succession of the grandfather of Don Carlos does not pre- vent that Power from tacitly supporting the grandson to-day. We may be told that Eng- land has not officially committed herself to either side in the struggle; but the same influences which made England the hope of the Confederacy in the late rebellion are at work now against the Republic in Spain. At the bottom of the English sympathy with ular hatred of the North as compared with the South, but a hope that the breaking up of the Union would next to annihilate formida- ble republican power. Cotton had certainly much to do with it, but the tone was taken from those who saw some prospect of an Em- pire in the South and the financial ruin of a rival in the commerce of the world. With Spain the same feelings produce the same results. Arms for the Carlist rebels can be sent from English ports as arms were to the Confederacy. Curiously enous, we bear of the steamxacht Deerbound, The attitude of England in the case is one | the rebellion was no love of slavery, no partic- | the same, it appears, that carried away Semmes and his crew from the sinking Alabama, as being engaged in the work of running in cargoes of arms for the royalists. We have not yet heard that a Carlist Alabama has been sent to sea; but, if there was any necessity for one, we have no doubt that another Laird would be found to rise, on occasion, in the House of Commons and declare himself content to go down to posterity (if posterity cared anything about it) as the builder of ninety such pirates, for which, he might add, his country could afterwards have the honor of paying through the new-found arrangement of Geneva arbitra- tion. But will all these efforts, within and without, place Don Carlos firmly or at all on the throne of Ferdinand, Charles ond Philip? ‘The ominous, spectral gathering of clouds, which frightened away the crowned son of Victor Emmanuel from his palace at Madrid, searcely carried the portent of an abso- Inte monarchy, however toned down, to be established in his stead. The enthusiasm of the ignorant mountaineers and their clergy, humbled by the Republic, the hidalgo Lopes of the dons who lead the peasants, all to the contrary, the Republic is strong enough for its assailants yet. Efforts, it is said, are being made by the clergy to fuse the two most prom- inent royalist sections, but they are at least as difficult to unite as the moderate republi- cans and the fiery reds, Looking at the situation gravely, the fact that Spain has dark, wearying and bloody days before her must be admitted. The young Pretender brings a sword to his country’s throat which may be turned against his own before he has much chance to inflict a mortal wound. With the blinded peasantry kissing his matricidal hand we may compare the patronizing thought, which fires all such pretenders, that millions of woes inflicted on others are all too little wherewith to win a place on shaky thrones for themselves. But these ambitions and de- sires do not set backward the tides of thought, and the Republic, which is apparently so ineffective in action in Spain to- day, cannot be killed even if it bears the pressure of a throne for a while. The situations in France and Spain have many cognate features. A vigorous republi- can reaction against reaction proper is among the probabilities nearest at hand, We shall then know which is the stronger—the few grasping at class privilege or the many grasp- ing at right. It is easy to decide on which side the sympathies of America will lie. A Great Sensation in Utah—Revolt of the Prophet’s Wife No. 17. We have the startling announcement from Salt Lake City that Ann Eliza Webb Young, the wife of Brigham Young, No. 17, has forever left him, carrying off her furniture and personal effects; that Brigham will en- deavor to replevin the goods; that Mrs. Young No. 17 is at the Walker House, and that in her behalf three leading lawyers are about to institute a suit for divorce and ali- mony ina large sum; that in the trial impor- tant revelations are expected concerning the mysteries of the Prophet's harem; that Mrs. Young No. 17 is enjoying the sympathies of the Gentile ladies of Salt Lake, and that there is a considerable degree of perturbation upon this matter among the polygamous Mormons of their Holy City of Zion. There can be no doubt that if the three leading lawyers succeed in bringing the case of Mrs. Brigham Young No. 17 to trial there will be some very interesting revelations touch- ing the Mormon institution of polygamy, in connection with the domestic life of the Mormon Prophet. All his wives, from the living Mrs. Brigham Young No. 1 to No. 29 or 49, as_ the list may be, all of them within reach of the Court, should the trial be ordered, will be called in to testify regarding the status of each and all in the family circle, and especially the status and treatment of No. 17. They will be required each to testify how the attentions of their lord and master are divided among the members of his harem ; how family disputes among them are settled; how the numerous domestic duties of the Prophet’s family of | tavorites are distributed among the ladies of his populous establishment ; how his regiment of children have been and are cared for and kept under discipline, and what are the rela- tions and regulations of each mother’s off- spring in the general family, and what is the outfit of the children as they grow up to man’s or woman's estate; and how many wives, if any, have been cast off by the Prophet; and which of his wives, besides No. 17, if any, have deserted him from time to time; and what provision has been made by him for deserting or rejected wives. All these matters and many more connected with the domestic mysteries and miseries of Mormon polygamy will, doubtless, be thor- oughly investigated and elucidated should this case for a divorce of Mrs. Brigham Young No. 17 be brought into Court. And there's luck in odd numbers, says Rory O'More, But will the Mormon Achilles in this mat- ter so far forget his cunning as to expose his vulnerable hee! to the shafts of his enemies? No. Ifthe case be brought before @ Terri- torial Mormon Court it will be dismissed on the ground of no jurisdiction, and the great revelations expected will not be made. Brought before a United States Court, the Judge, we apprehend, will be compelled to dismiss the case, be- cause, as he can only recognize the living Mrs. Brigham Young No. 1 as the wife of the Prophet, No. 17 can have no case as a wife before a federal court. Her recogni- tion as a wite would be the recognition of Mor- mon polygamy. No. 17, however, with her three able lawyers, may give her much mar- ried consort considerable trouble unless quietly reconciled to the situation through the medium of arbitration. And we think it probable that arbitration, as in the Geneva Conference, will settle the difficulty, and that the negotiations will carefully provide against any proclamation of the settlement calculated to shake the loyalty of the remaining wives of the Prophet's home circle. Between the Prophet, who is a host in himself, and three able lawyers, there will probably be no difficulty in adjusting the indemnity due to Mrs. Brigham Young No. 17. ‘Tue Geneva AWARD AND THE SYNDICATE.— It is said that the Syndicate—that is, the com- bination of favored bankers and speculators of the Treasury Department who got the privilege of manipulating the funding loan—will make Ltwo hundred and seventy thousand dollars by handling the fifteen million Geneva award. It is strange that there must be a job in almost everything the United States Treasury Depart- ment has todo. Why, in the name of common sense, could not the British government pay fifteen millions to the United States without the Syndicate’s aid or the Syndicate touching the money? The University Soating Regatta on the Conmecticut—The Challenge Cup Race. The agony of suspense among oarsmen is over, and the grand University Regatta of 1873 has passed into boating history. The banks of the Connecticut River yesterday prosented a scene which will long remain in the mem- ories of those who witnessed it, and testified unmistakably to the interest taken by the pub- lic in the physical development of our youth, as well as the attention paid to the com- mencement exercises at the various educational institutions showed what the people thought of their mental improvement. Emancipated for the nonce from the arcana of classical au- thors, relieved from disquisitions on ethics and philosophy of all kinds, and free from theses and the arena of learned dispnta- tions, the students of eleven institu- tions, numbering fourteen distinct crews, emulated yesterday the example of the youths of yore, when the laurel crown in the Olympian Games was as eagerly sought after as the com- mendations of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle or Pythagoras. Elsewhere in the Heraup of to- day will be found the details of the manly exercises which took place yesterday, near the town of Springfield, on the banks of the river where once Sassacus and his Pequots fought against the pale face invaders, The Freshman’s race, in which three universities were represented, and the great inter-uni- versity race, in which no less than eleven institutions took part, have both resulted in the triumph of Yale College over all compet- itors, How the very elms around the alma mater at New Haven will rustle with delight at this double victory won by the gallant youths who so oft sat beneath their shade, and what rejoicings there will be, even among the gray-haired graduates of that time- honored institution, who have been com- batants in the battle of life for many a year! The course over which the great race was rowed seems to have been anything but satisfac- tory. Rivers, all the world over, are capricious and unaccommodating to boating contests. In a country like ours, which prides itself in the number, variety and beauty of its lakes, there is no reason why the tangled problem of shifting currents, sandbars and other obsta- cles should interfere with our oarsmen. There is many a lake, like the one on which Harvard beat Yale twenty years ago, where those aquatic contests could be conducted to the satisfaction of every one. Then there would be no disappointment or grumbling about the choice of positions, and muscle, pluck and training would alone decide the victory. One of those beautiful lakes, embosomed amid virgin woods, where thousands of spectators can look down from the amphitheatre-like shores, and where a clear course is attainable, is surely preferable to a narrow, sinuous, treacherous river, on which muscle and speed cannot always hope for success. ‘This is a subject worthy of the attention of the young athletes who combine each year the powers of the cultured mind with the mastery of those physical exercises that tend so much to bring around that desirable result, mens sana in corpore sano. But not alone on the water did the athletes distinguish themselves yesterday. There was a spice of the Olympian spirit in the two mile running race in which three fleet-footed com- petitors started. Such o contest could not fail to enlist the attention of the vast assem- blage congregated together at Springfield during regatta week. A Canadian student, Mr. Bowie, was the victor in this race, after an exciting struggle with Mr. Phillips, a Cor- nell graduate. The interest displayed in this race was not inferior to that shown in the aquatic tournament, and testified to the im- portance attached to the physjcal develop- ment of our youth in all kinds of manly con- tests. Selling with the Wind. The Minnesota republicans, through their State Convention, like their brethren in Iowa, have resolved to cut the ground from under the feet of the democrats on the leading Western issues of the day. They have declared in favor of cheap transportation, according to capital invested in railroads the right of reasonable remuneration, but opposing unjust discrimi- nations and all arbitrary and improper uses of the growing power of railroad and other cor- porations. They declare that no rights should be vested im@ailroad corporations beyond the power of future Legislatures. They heartily applaud the active measures of Congress in ferreting out and exposing corruption; they demand pure official conduct and the punish- ment of unfaithful public servants; they con- demn without reservation the Increased Salary and Back-Pay bill rushed through the two houses in the expiring hours of the late Con- gress, and they demand the prompt repeal of the law. Now, as these farmers’ granges have shown in a recent test election in Mli- nois that in the Northwest they have, and within a few months, risen to the proportions of a political power which must be respected; and as the so-called ‘‘back-pay grab’’ of the late Congress has awakened a more pervading spirit of hostility among the masses of the people throughout the country, and particu- larly in the West, than the general indignation resulting from the Crédit Mobilier disclosures, the Minnesota republicans, it will be seen, have skilfully set their sails to catch the popu- lar wind. On the question of cheap transpor- tation, however, they beat about the bush, and, either from lack of courage or perception fail to touch the remedy required against the grasping designs of our railway monop- olies. The remedy, broad and compre- hensive, lies in the intervention of Congress, under its power to ‘regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several States and with the Indian tribes,” which covers the whole ground. Short of this general regulation, our combinations of rail- way monopolies will continue to hold the farmers of the West and the republican party in the several States subject to the regulations of our railway kings. On the Congressional “‘back-pay’’ bill, the democrats being as deep in the mud as the republicans are in the mire, the field is eqnally open to both parties for repentance and reform. ULY 18, 1873—WITH SUPPLEMENT. Berder Raflans in Nebraska. It is remarkable though somewhat dis- couraging fact that every advance of civiliza- tion into the Great West carries with it the elements of barbarism, and enterprise is ac- companied by disrespect for law. Every new city of the West of mushroom growth has had to suffer in its infancy from hordes of border ruffians, whose trade was war against organized society. Many of the towns on tho lines of the newly laid railroads are governed by no other law than that of the strongest, and even in places of greater pretensions and of earlier birth the ‘navy’ revolver is the safest reliance in a discus- sion, This is a great evil, and one that works mischief to the communities in which it is allowed. It deters peaceably disposed persons from settling and checks travel. We learn by our despatches that the people of Omaha—a city that by this time ought to have an efficient police—have deter- mined to get rid of the gamblers, robbers and assassins, from whom they have s0 severely suffered. Gamblers on Western trains are no novelty, unfortunately. Holding the officials in fear of their lives or bribing them into con- nivance, they fleece hundreds of travellers of money hardly earned. For denouncing a gang engaged in ‘‘working’’ a train on the Union Pacific road the gamblers stabbed a brakeman. Roused by this murderous outrage the railroad men and citizens of Omaha have combined. They threaten to form a vigilance committee and act as the people of San Fran- cisco did in their apprenticeship. The remedy is severe, but the evil is one that cannot well be treated homopathically. Either the in- dustrious, peaceful citizens must leave the city a prey to violence or the lawless ruffians must be compelled to seck other haunts far- ther ‘‘West.’’ The proper course for frontier communities having to deal with ruffians would be to organize a strong police and elect prose- cuting officers able and willing to enforce the laws.

Washington’s Headquarters in New Jersey. Some time ago some speculators in Jersey op- | tained control of the property at Morristown on which stands the building used by George Wash- ington during the Jersey Revolutionary campaign, and sought to make “a soft thing” out of it. They talked and wrote it up im that pure spirit of pa- triotism, which Dr. Johnson described so truly, and it was handed over for disposition under the hammer of the auctioneer, While that worthy was rattling of nis gilb story, and ere he hud reached the final “Gone!” up stepped ex- Governor Theodore F. Randolph and purchased the old building and adjoining grounds in behal/ of | himsel!, ex-Congressman George N. Halsey, Gen- eral N. Norris Halsted and Mr. W. Van Vleck Lidergood, at the same time announcing it as their intention to reserve it for the State. The New Jersey Historical Society, with @ spirit worthy of it distinguished membership, past and present, have promptly taken up the matter, and at a re- cent meeting, at which were present the four gen- tlemen named above, resolved to repurchase the historic place and hold it forever as a repository for relics of the illustrious Father of the Country and his associates, The Bxecutive and Finance Committees were also authorized to issue 500 shares of stock, at $100 each, in the name of ‘The Wash- ington Association of the New Jersey Historical Society, and that the proceeds of subscription as rapidly as received shall be applied as follows :— First, to payment upon the property, and second, to providing @ fund for its maintenance and per- petuation.” A subscription list was opened on tho spot and five gentlemen put themselves down for ten shares each.

The “Purp” That Differed with Caleb Cushing on Music Sentenced to Death—-A Sad Tale Wagged by Telegraph—Tom Kelly's Fawn-Colored Ca- nine and Its Distin- guished Audience. WAsHINaTON, July 17, 1873. The vicious dog in Washington of which Cale® Cushing complained a few days ago, and which was destined to earn historical fame with the cack- ling geese of Rome, was suddenly aqueiched to-day by Judge Snell, of the Police Court, the same tribunal before which Alexander R. Shepherd wanted to arraign the editor of a New York daily for aunoying him with hints and innuendves. ‘The venerable jurist who worrled the Chief Justice of all Her Majesty's British Dominions, and retired with the honor of hearing an award of nearly twenty-five tons in gold made in satisfaction for depredations of rebet cruisers, had never before in three score years aud ten been flustered by the greatest legal talent of this or any other country, It was told in these despatches of yesterday how a useless canine, con- fined on the premises of Fernando Wood, had con- spired by day and by night, tor a pertod of time, to make MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT HIDEOUS with his yelping, and had seriously interfered with the sleep of Mr, Cushing, and also from lus attending to the thoughtful task of pre- paring an answer to the bill im equity against the Orédtt Mobiher ring of the Union Pacific Railroad. Considering the impor- tant trusts reposed ingthe ex-Attorney General, it was seriously suggested that the presence of thi dog near Mr. Cushing's apartments was not an in- cident or an accident, but part aud parcel of the scheme of the attorneys employed by the Un.ted States to prosecute the Mobiller suit, to deprive the detendanta of Mr. Cushing's acumen, and, by irritating him, prevent bs giving the subject ius best thought. This charge could not be sus tained against Mr. Wood, for he was foremost in the fight i Congress against the corrupting influ- ences of the fraud, and nurled anathemas against his neignbor in social life, the aspirant now for gubernatorial honors in Massachusetts, How true this is Mr, Cushing can best expiain, This morning the question of abating the nuisance complained of came before Po.ice Judge Snell, and ‘Yhomas jelly Was charged with maintaining the nuisance.

In the same block with Mr. Wood dwells Speaker Blaine, Thomas Swann, of Baltimore, who wants to be Senator; Buckingham, of Connecticut, and West, of Louisiana, who are ena- tors. ‘This will show that it is no mean neighborhood, that is, as the directory runs at the Capitol, Mr. Cushing proceeded with his evidence, In the rear of Fernando Wood's resi- dence lives Mr. Kelly, who owns a fawn colored dog, large size, with long hair, which keeps up & continuous barking and runs to the iron rod fence and barks furiously at every passer by, both night and day, The bark is of a harsh kind, and falis om the ear like a blow. This barking interrupts con- versation, prevents study, and is constant inter- ruption both to business by day and sleep at night, He had addressed a communication to Mr. Wood and received in reply anote dated New York, July 10, which he read, stating that the people in charge are temporary tenants, and that THE VOG COMPLAINED OF belongs to Kelly, and asking him to call upon Kelly, whom, he had no doubt, would abate the nuisance, He had done so, but the evil complained ot became worse, and he found it impossible to get his rest at night, which had so prostrated him that he had been obliged to call in a physician. Kelly had romised to remove the dog, but had not done so. Je bad told Kelly that if he would remove the dog he, witness, would withdraw the civil swt and make the case in the police cours go as easy as possible with him. ‘The Court, who is accustomed to the maudlin of the ignorant colored people brought before nim on petty charges, and who probaviy never heard the plea of au attoruey Who got a tee of more than five dollars, treated the distinguished witness with con- sideration, and suggested, when he finished his evidence, that he would find the atmosphere muck purer outside than inside the crowded court room. ‘The case was at last finished. There was no end to the testimony corroborating Mr. Cushing. Esti- mable citizens, who roll in iuxury during the day but are iond of a good night's rest, swore to being: KEPT AWAKE CONTINUOUSLY. That was enovgh, 80 the Court gave judgment that the nuisance be abated by the removai or the Killing o1 the dog, and that the defendant be re- quired to deposit @ collateral of $25 to secure the abatement ol the nuisance, which would be for- feited in case of failure. Up to a late hour to-night the bark of that offending dog had not been heard. The neighbor- hood sleeps in peace, unless the sweltering heat prevents the close embrace of Morpneus, How long this brute has been irritating the brains of the great men who dwell thereabouts was not in evidence. WHAT THE “DORG’’ IS ANSWERABLE FOR. It has been suggested, however, that perhaps & careful inquiry Would reveal that the fawn colored. dog has something to do with Speaker Blaine’s as- pirations tor the Presidency, to aid in destroying Osarism in our government; perhaps Mr. Swann’s desire to suc.eed senator Hamilton trom Mary- land; may be Senator Buckingham’s quaims of conscience in restoring lis back pay; proba- biy Senator West's conversion to the ad- ministration and fealty to Governor Kel- logg; General Butier’s determination to be- come Governor of Massachusetts; or many of the acts of omission or cetmnission of the State De~ partment may have had tueir remote or proximate origin in the howling of the dog, this day sentenced to be banished from the locality or shot as @ nuisance. One man there is who revels in dissatis- faction. Itis Thomas Kelly. He has read Judge Blatchiord’s decision about tie Washington Police Court, which does not give trial by jury in tue first instance, and, as his dog has been sentenced to deach, he thinks the complaint of injustice reasons ably founded.
