Erection of Headstones in ¢he National Cemeteries. The Quartermaster General will to-morrow open bids for erecting headstones in the national cene- teries, the effort made last year to effect the work having proved abortive through the want of an appropriation and the failure of the War Depart ment to prescribe any size, shape or material for the headstones, and the remarkable verbal deiects of the act of Congress under which the bids were invited. These defects were due to the elimination by the Senate and House Military committees of the vital but vicious parts of the bill, as originally drawn by a stone lobby. At the last ses- sion of Congress Senator Logan secured an appropriation of $1,000,000 to pay for the entire cost of the 252,000 headstones, and the Secretary of War was enjoined by law to ix and publish the size, style and material for each cemetery before receiving the bids. A large num” have sufficient provisions on hand to last them throughout the winter.

A Nero of the Bench. The members of the District Bar are accumulat- ing evidence of the unfitness of Judge Humphreys to hold the position of Justice on the bench of the District Supreme Court, and will present their grievance to Congress in December. It will be their endeavor to show that Judge Humphreys is men- tally unfit for the office; that his conduct towards members of the Bar is tyrannical in the extreme and his behavior not such as comports with the dignity of the oMice. One of the favorite amuse- ments of this Nero of the Bench, as he is called by the District lawyers, is to impose excessive fines for contempt of Court. To-day, while holding the Equity Court, he commanded a member of the Bar to amend his bill. To this the lawyer objected, as the bill was perfect, and he did not wish to make any amendments to it. The Court demanded an explanation, to which the attorney answered, “I made it because the Court had at- tempted to control me in the management of my case. Iconsider it is my duty to decide whether to amend the bill or not, and not that of the Court.” For this he was compelled to pay a fine of $25. Petermann on the Polaris Expedition. The Secretary of the Navy has recetved from Mr. Petermann, the celebrated German geographer, a complete chart and report of the Polaris expedi- tion. The document, however, is all in German, and is now in the hands of 4 translator. After being translated the report will be published. Governor Cook’s Intended Resignation. Hon. H. D. Cook, Governor of the District of Oo- lumbia, on being interrogated to-day concerning the report of his resignation of that office, said the Tumor was premature, although he contemplates at no distant day retiring from that position, and has informed the President accordingly. The Internal Revenue and Cigar Boxes. Commissioner Douglass has taken no action rela- tive to the patent cigar box which he has been urged to adopt, and to protest against which the committee of cigar manutacture-s from New York, Philadgjphia and Baltimore appeared before him some weeks ago. The Vommissioner has not de- termed to order that box to be used, as it is not his intention to force upon dealers an instrument so digfisteiul to them. He is anxious to adopt some plan by which the frauds now often practised, in the retail trade especially, may be prevented, and he desires the co-operation of all dealers to thisend, The patent box he is satisfied is ohjec- tionadle in several particulars, though its use would do much to prevent the transposition of cigars trom one box toanother, Retail dealers, however, must be allowed some boxes in their showcases to sell from, and the patent box would be of no service there. Those who desire to defraud the revenue can easily refill the boxes in the case from a basket or bundle containing cigars brought from the manufactory, which had never been in boxes. Destruction of Illicit Distilleries in North Carolina. Collector Pinkney Rollins, of the Seventh district of North Carolina, informs the Revenue Bureau that Special Deputy R. H. Patterson gna the sol- diers under Lieutenant Mast destroyed two illicit distilleries in Haywood county and made twelve arrests on the 7th of August, On the 16th they de- stroyed four distilieries and made eight arrests in McDowell county. They then proceeded to South Mountain, in Burke county, where they destroyed eigut distilleries and made seventeen arrests. Those eight distilleries were located in close prox- imity to each other, and there was reliable in- formation of twenty or twenty-five more being in operation in the South Mountain, but further progress was arrested by the interference of the State authorities, Lieutenant Mast and Deputy Marshal Dearer being arrested upon a bench war- rant from Judge Clark for destroying property. The Collector says :— I do not wish to reflect upon the Judge's integ- rity, but believe that he was imposed upon by cer- tain parties, who, besides being generally hostile to anything looking to the execution of the laws of the federal government, made the move to give the law breakers time to remove their stills and get out of the way. There was no unnecessary or wanton destruction of property, and all law-abiding citizens will bear testimony that the conauct of Lieutenant Mast and his men has been unexcep- tionable throughout. This matter should not be suffered to rest at this stage, but should be pur- sued to the end, regardless of expense, eise the lawless and evil disposed persons will look upon it asacheck to the iederal authority. and take en- couragement to, continue their lawless acts. I in- tend to return with the expedition next week to the same locality, and to make another etfort for the enforcement of the law, in which [hope to be supported to any extent by the strong arm of the government. Supervisor Perry, in transmitting the report to the Commissioner, says:— No pains will be spared to break up all the illicit stills in said district which can possibly be reached. The revenue officers who accompanied the expe- dition were particularly cautioned against doing anything which in any way could be made to ap- pear as wrong oF oppressive, and I believe they Obeyed the instructions literally.

The count of votes is not yet complete in any Ward of this city. There is some doubt about the election of Bartlett, the anti-railroad candi- date for State Senator. James Otis, the people's candidate for Mayor, holds a good majority thus far over McDonald, the democratic candidate. P.

The fitness or unfitness of Generai Buticr for the office which he seeks, his army history, uis Congressional record, his public and private character, are not to be dwelt on here, because they are of subordinate consequence, lt the republican party, in good faith and by a free expression of opinion, choose to Nomiuate General Butler or any other man ior governor, they have an undoubted right to do s0, and dissatisfied persons can take their measures accordingly. The one essential is good faith and honesty: to secure this is of the same moment to all political parties; and on this issue, if on no other, alt honest men are republicans, all demo- crats, It is here this ground that a great question resents itself, and here a great fight is being fought. Now, if ever, the time has come when the cobwebs of convention must be orushed away and people must be plainly told what hes before them, that they may at least walk with open eyes, ‘The republican party at present rules this country, and on republicans rests a tremendous respunsi- bility. It seems as though we had arnved at @ turning point in our history, and it nes with them direct the course of the nation right, for in @ few years from now it may be too late for retreat. It ‘s for them to say whether the United States is to remain whatit always has been—a federal republic—or whether it ts to be ruled by a paid army Of officials under the control of the central government. Be- side this great question, all personal disputes, dts- like of obnoxious laws and iocal jealousies vanish into nothing; and It is tor the voters of Massachu- setts now to declare whether the ancient traditions of the nation shall be preserved as fur as it lies in their power to preserve them or whether they will be the first to abandon the principles which their Commonwealth was the first to establish. It is not diMcuit to explain how it has come to & that the central government should under- ake to interfere with local politics. Men thinking alike on certain great questions must have party organizations for the purpose of concerted action. a organizations grow in complexity and power ith the growth of the country, and one or ovher them necessarily controls the government. It is then that unscrupulous men see their opportu- nity, seize on the vast patron! and power which is thus placed at their disposal, put their retainers into office at home, and iorm a little army of dependants devoted to their for- tunes, which from its discipline and compactness May well hope to govern that very pa:ty which raised them to power, and which, in name at least, governs the country.

Ae TENS Sey The Burning of the Fashion Stud Farm Explained—A Malicious Act of a Dis- charged Employe. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5, 1873. ‘This afternoon, at four o'clock, the Chief of Police in this city received the following from the police authorities of Trenton, N. J.:—‘“Send officers to meet the boat Edwin Forrest at her wharf, Left here at two o’clock. Arrest Morris Purpil; black eyes; dyed mustache; about five feet six high; dark complexion ; dark clothes; Kossuth hat. Ask for Charles Cochran, with Goldsmith Maid, in the boat; he can show you the man. Arrest him. Charged with arson.” The matter was put into the hands of Lieutenant Krout, and upon the arrival of the boat the man was identified and the arrest duly made. By the next train after the forwarding of the telegram the Chief of the Trenton police arrived in this city, and from him, in the presence of Purpil himself, I learned the following particulars :— THE MOTIVE OF THE CRIME. Morris Purpil after working for Budd Doble on his Fashion Stud Farm for the term of four or five months failed to give the proper satisfaction, and was discharged on Tuesday morning of this week. Upon receiving his money from Mr, W. D. Jackman Parpil said that the amount was insufficient and by no means a fair equivalent for his service. Mr. Jackman replied that he had been paid fully as much as any one in the same capacity had ever been, but Purpil departed angry and sullen, retir- ing to @ little suburban district named Millbam. Purpil indulged freely in drink, and while ina state of partial intoxication he made remarks to this effect:—“I have been robbed by Budd Dobie and he has cheated me out of my wages. But, never mind, I'll get even with him yet. Wil just bet that in less than a week Budd Doble’s stables at the Trenton Stud Farm will be burned to the ound.” The next night Purpil came to Dobie’s Trenton staples aud secretly made his bed in the hay. He did not arise until eleven o’clock on Thursday morning last, and five minutes atter he came down from the hayloft the capactous and BRAUTIFUL BARN WAS IN FLAMES, Purpil stayed about whie the building was bi and seemed particularly anxious to save a favorite little mare named Susie Parker, of which he had been in chi and to which he seemed e, attached, This morni when Goldsmith aid and other celebrated trotters were being transferred to Mr. Doble’s stables here in Phila- deiphia, Purpil followed them to the depot and alter they were shipped eng: ed his poseage upon the Edwin Forrest.

Fifteen Persons Lost and Fifteen Saved. Hauirax, N. 8., Sept. 6, 1873, A letter from Sydney, C. B., says that the setile- ment of West Bay, on the Grand Lake, has been almost demolished by the gale. On one side of the bay only about six houses are left standing. In the settlemont of Baysdale twenty houses were blown down. In this settlement one family seem to have been special objects of persecution by the storm king, Finding their own house gone, they fled to that ofa neighbor, when in a very short time the latter house took fire, and both families had to flee and take shelter in a greenhouse till morning. The following DISASTERS TO AMERICAN SCHOONERS in Port Caledonia, ©. B., are reported:—Mary J. Adams, Captain Gilchrist, of Portsmouth, N. H, stern cut down to planking, jibboom gone, fore and main topmast backstays parted and starboatd side chated; the schooner William Jones, Captain Robinson, of Boston, lost main and mizzen masts, foretopmast and jibboom and hull slightly chafed; the Judah F. Carney, Captain Turner, of Boston, stern stove, lost foretopgallant mast and jib- boom and top sides badly chafed ; schooner Gamma, Captain Brown, of Machias, Me., stern stove down to the transom, bowsprit and cutwater gone. ‘This vessel has also arrived in North Sydney. The schooner Almon Bird, Captain Drinkwater, of Rockland, Me., had stern stove-wheel broke, and top asides chafed; the schooner Anita, Captain Small, of Machias, lost both stays, started chain plates and was driven ashore, but is expected to be got off in a few days, THE DISASTER TO THE SALTWELL. The Cunara steamer Delta, which arrived from Sydney, C. B,, Thursday evening, brougnt fifteen of the crew of the ill-fated steamship Saltwell, Captain Mace, of New Castle, 0. B., which was lost on Say Shoals off Scatary during the gale of the 24th ult, They give the following account of the dis- aster :—The Saltwell sailed from London, England, August 9, in ballast, bound for Sydney, U. B., to load with coal for New York. ‘The ship arrivea witbin some twenty miles of Sydney (U. B.) Har- bor at ten o’clock 4. M. on Sunday, the 24th, ex- pecting to get into port about midday. At this time a thick fog set in and the wind began to blow hard from the southeast, which gradually increased to @ gale at three o’clock P. M. Captain Mace, afraid of being driven on the shore, put the ship about to head off land. The engines were driven ‘at full speed. The wind continued increasing up to eight o’clock P. M., when it became a per- fect hurricane and the ship could make no head- way against it, Still no danger to the ship was Spprehended, and only the usual watch was Kept on deck, the Captain remaining on the bridge. About eleven o'clock P. M., while the fourth en- gineer was iu the engine room, the ship struck on what proved to be Say Shoals, off Scatary Island. She struck at intervals three different times before sticking fast, striking each time about midships. The water began rushing in immediately after she first struck, and quickly put out the fires. At the first shock the chief engineer rusned to the engine room, but ina very short time returned and re- ported that the ship was sinking. All hands below ‘Were roused and the boats ordered to be lowered. Rockets were also fired, in the hope of attracting attention from shore. The first boat attempted to be launched was THE STARBOARD LIFEBOAT. In assisting to get this boat out, the chief en- gineer, Mr, McIntosh, who was standing on the Tail, lost his balance, tell into the sea and perished. Five men got into this boat, but in the confusion at the moment they cut away the after fall, letting the boat drop, stern ioremost, while suspended by the bow. The men were washed out and the boat Was smashed against the ship. The next boat tried was the starboard cutter, which being on the lee side, was launched without difficulty, An attempt was then made to get outthe port lifeboat, but it being on the weather side, the effort was dificult and dangerous; yet with strenuous exertions she was salely launched. The remainder of the crew were then distributed in the two boats, the'firat officer going in charge of THE CUTTER, accompanied by the following persons :— J. Pred- die, second officer; William Smith, second engi- neer; Timothy Cockland, boatswain, and five sea- men. The Captain took charge of the lifepoat, and gave orders that the two boats shovid leave to- gether and keep as near as possible to each other, and render assistance in case either should need it. The Captain was accompanied by Robert Smith, the third engineer; Wiliam Lutthall, the fourth engineer; Richard Bailey, carpenter; George Butcher, chief steward; George Champion, engi- neers’ steward; Walter H. Fannay, cook; William Aldons, cabin boy; James Jackson, seaman, and five firemen, viz. :—John Donohue, John Hamilton, James Berry, Henry Bush, Jonn Wilson and a towaway” named Peter Murray—ino all, fifteen souls, When about to leave the ship the Captain looked over the side to apprise tnose in the cutter, bat sne was not to be seen, and has not since been heard of, The probability is that those in charge left at once and got lost among the breakers in making for the light. When the lifeboat got clear of the ship she was headed for Louisburg Light, bearing about southwest, but after @ time this course had to ve abandoned, owing to the violent headwind and heavy sea, the night being intensely dark. We then followed the course of the sea, keeping the boat easy until day- light, when land was seen and the boas was headed tor it, but again we were doomed to disappoint- ment, for on nearing the shore the sea was found to be one mass of huge breakers, through which no boat could pass and live. We had then to pull off shore, and after some four hours’ rowing again saw a light ahead, which we steamed for and suc- ceeded in landing at Fourche, 0. B., where we were cared for by the inhabitants and next day walked to Sydney. Fifteen of the steamer’s crew were lost and fifteen were saved in the lifeboat, ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS, Another Account of the Great Storm— Further Losses of Life and Property Reported—List of Vessels Stranded and Damaged. HALrPax, Sept. 6, 1673. A letter received here to-day from Magdalen Islands gives the following particulars regarding the late storm there The tide rose to an extraordinary height, caus- ing @ very heavy sea in the bay, and the vessels to ride heavily at their anchors, At daylignt on the morning Of the 25th the scene that presented itself at Atherst Harbor is above description. Nine American schooners were already on shore and wrecked between Amherst ana Bacque Harbors, and during the day vessel after vessel continued to break adrift from her moorings,-and those who were far enough to wind- ward ran for harber and anchored with the ground tackle they had left on board, while others who had none were obliged to run on the.beach to save the lives of the crews. Many did not strike the channel and were wrecked at the entrance. During the morning an American schooner drove across the bows of the bark Swift, of Jersey, ana for® short time the destruction of both vessels seemed certain, Fortunately « heavy sea threw the schooner clear of the bark and dismasted ner in- instantly, .The bark lost her jibooom and bead- @ear with her main and her mizzen topmasts. At noon the barometer fell to ite lowest point, 28.90; the shore at this time being covered with debris and wreck, and hundreds of ships wrecked, Destitute mariners were wandering about the beach, not knowing where to go to find food and shelter from the howling storm. The inhabitants of the village did all in their power to relieve the sufferers and ad- ministered to their wants as well as their humble means would afford, About four P. M. the bark Swift, of Jersey, from Blanc Sablon, which had been riding with four anchors and cables ahea¢, was driven from them all, and having 130 souls on board, she endeavored to reach the harbor for safety. When nearing the breakers she became unmanageable, and drove upon the beach at its entrance and became a wreck, When night closed in FORTY-THR: VESSELS WERE ON THE SHORE WRECKED, and twenty-six others were afloat in Amherst harbor, with loss of anchors, cables, boats, spars and other damage; only nine remaining outside at their moorings in the bay. Fortunately the loss of life has been small. Only three bodies are missing, from the schooner E, 8. Smith, of Wellfleet, Mass. One of the bodies has since been recovered. The fleld ana garden crops have suffered se- verely, and in exposed situations are entirely de- stroyed, Barns and haystacks have been biown down. Anumber of fishing boats were sunk and lost. A schooner from Chatham, N. B., discharging lighthouse materials at Entry Island, was dis- masted, and after the gale abated was taken in tow by a achooner for Prince Edward Island. Of Old Harry Head a schooner was seen GOING DOWN WITH ALL HANDS, Since then some blubber casks, a mast and @ sail, with other wrecked materials, have come on shore, including @ piece of board with “Tyro’’ painted on it, The following is @ list of the vessels that have lost anchors and cables at the Magdalen Island: Schooner M. Elizabeth, of Guysboro, N. 8.; John Soames, of Wellficet, U. S,; Express, of Gloucester; E.

A largely attended meeting of citizens ‘was held to-night in the No, 4 school, which was addressed by Mr. P. Delancey, Mr. Watson and others. The audience was most enthusiastic and adopted resolutions condemning the disgrace- ful scenes of yesterday and supporting the Blewitt THE MURDERER BENDER A Lady Recognizes the Kansas Butcher in Greene County—The Citizens Atter Him in the Mountains.
