GEORGE J, LATES, W. M. COMMUNIPAW CLEANSED. Abandonment of the Abattoir—An Im- mense Abattoir Erected in Harsimus Cove—Tom Scott’s Winning Card. Persons who travel across the North River by the Jersey City or Hoboken ferries will observe an immense structure erected south of and close to the Pavonia ferry. This is to take the place of the abattoir at Communipaw, against which so many ‘wars were waged by the settlers in that district. Repeated efforts were made to procure an indict- ment against the Stock Yard Company for maintaining a nuisance, but without success, Threats were openly made from time to time that the place would be burned down. The first day of the next month will close the prosper: ous career %f this establisnment, which was erected just seven years and a half ago. Communipaw then was a dreary, cold, cheerless, uninviting locality. Now it has grown to such dimensions that it is an important and thriving section of Jersey City. Short-lived as the abbatoir has been, the two leadmg men who procured tts erection— Messrs, McPherson and urd, of Chi —have to the silent land. Not a single one of those 40 faces who witnessed the inaugura- tion 1s to be seen there to-day. Josiah 0. Stearns was _ then Superintendent of the Central Ratlroad that reaped such a large har- vest from the concern, and he, too, passed to his final account long since. The Western element, however, still preponderates in the management. From the regular opening of the abattoir and stock yards on the 17th of October, 1866, to the first da: of the present month there arrived at the yar 1,027,617 cattle, 3,801,589 hogs and 2,480,466 sheep. POF cate Sel togt tal Tinka nen 1 cattle, an sheep. Yet the concern is tna ‘when compared with the new one. The company tndér which the new concern is being erected is different from that now controll- ing the abattoir at Communipaw. The former was organized by virtue of an act passed at the latest session of the Legislature. 8. W. Allerton is prea- ident and Daniel H. Sherman surperintendent. Senator John R. McPherson is a mone stock- holder. The company is invested with great powers, including the right to establish @ ferry to New York. The organization of the company is reality @ substantial victory for Tom Scott over the New Jersey Central and Allentown lines in the cattle traMfic. Hereat- ter all the live stock will be brought from the West to Philadelphia, where the animals will be fed and allowed to reat. The company have secured there @ plot of 100 acres for this purpose. This explains the readiness of the wily Railroad King to give to the new abattoir company such extraordinary facilities and such & valuable water front in Harsi- mus Cove, the whole of which New Jersey sold to the railroads for $500,000. The abottoir and cattle yards in Harsimus cover an area of 17 acres, in addition to five acres of dock front. The yards comprise 240 pens, extend- ing fully halfa mile and capable of storing 6,000 cattle. The capacity of the abattoir is large enough for the slaughter of 12,000 cattle and 20,000 sheep a week. Twenty thousand sheep can be stored in the second tier of the buiiding. Some idea of the extent of the butlding and yards may be further had by the fact that there are five miles of pipe throughout the concern. The hog slaughtering department is situated on the Hacken- sack River in order to remove any ground of complaint from residents of Jersey City. A great deal of feeling was fora time manifested against the erection of this establishment in such a locality. Mr. McPherson insists, however, that there shall be posing of an offensive character in the build- ing, The blood will be dried in the establishment and shipped from the dock to Jertilizers, The floor of the slaughter house is coated with vulcanized asphalt, which is impervious to water. There will be no more cattle driven through the city, A large ferryboat will be employed to deliver cattle along the North and East rivers according to the sec- tions of New York and Brooklyn where they are required. The offal will be taken away in a scow containing galvanized iron tanks, The establish- ment being bounded by the Erie depot on one side and the Pennsylvania on the other, no private res- idences can ever come into proximity to the ab- attoir until the 999 years of tne lease of the new railroad to the Penni ania expire. The total cost of the establishme’ $960,000. The offices and restaurant will be handsomely furnished. MURDER FOR LOVE. Burrao, N. ¥., Jani 4, 1874.

Lonpon, Ont., Jan. 4, 1874, The coroner’s jury in the case of the killing of the man Bell, at Dorchester station, have seturned verdict that the deceased came to his death by ounds inflicted by the prisoner Kelly. The latter has been held for THE INDIA-RUBBER CHIEF JUSTICE, The Great American Jumper and Legal Acrobat, and What the Press Thinks of Him, ©The Nomination Has Startled the Counr trys It Has Shocked the Bench; It Will Demoralize the Bar.” The Great American Jamper. {From the New Orleans Picayune.) The great legal acrobat of the day is Attorney General Williams, In his remarkable act of jump- ing at conclusions he is unapproacbed and un- paralleled. He can leap further and vault higher and come down at a greater distance from his point of departure than any other living wan. Let his object be as far removed as possible—let it be separated from him by seemingly insuperable chasms of fallacy or mountains of adverse fact—he he will survey these obstacles with a complacent smile an eye Of mild contempt, take a fyin; leap into the r is of rhetoric and assertion, an alight in safety on hig conclusion, to the wonder, if not the approval, of the world, To such a performer why suggest an adverse fact or a fallacy in hia method? A detected fallacy or an established fact is of not the smallest mo- ment to this marvellous legal gymnast. He can surmount either, or both, and jump to an infinitely distant conclusion with the ease with which an ordinary tumbler turns a somerset from a spring-board, or @ one-horse circus rider smashes through a paper bulloon, One of the most remarkable of Williams’ feats was his celebrated performance in the Louisiana case, when he succeeded in clearing at a single bound @ mass of facts which would have appalled any other living being. It is supposed that he accomplished this feat by simply shutting his eyes and refusing to look at anything be- fore him, and then making that amazing jump, which landed him at his extraordinary conclusion, without giving the slightest thought, or even a passing glance, to the obstacles im his way. In the matter of the Virginius it seems that he has suc- ceeded in another remarkable effort of a similar kind. His object was to be convinced, on the part of the United States, that the Virginius was not an American vessel, and he accomplished this by the very short and easy process of admitting ail the testimony on one side and not asking for any tes- tumony on the other. And this is the man whom the President has nominated to be the successor of Chase, and whose name he refuses to witharaw, even in jace of the indignant protests of an out raged public opinion. The Revolution Has Come. [From the New Orleans Times.] ‘The men of the North and West begin to realize that what has occurred in the cases of Louisiana and Alabama might one day happen in New York or ilinois, To rule with a rod of iron a conquered State may be very well while that State 1s the only sufferer; but when the nation discovers in the act a covert attack upon republican institutions the matter is materially altcred. Despite of Cesar- ism, there seems to exist in the American mind an abiding faith in the principles upon which the gov- ernment is founded. Civil war may have brought its corrupting influences, and the moral disease, like any other malady, may have required years in its eradication; but the revulsion has at length eome. Another Chance for Grant. [From the Rome (Ga.) Courier.) Chief Justice Willams is in a tair way to lose his prestige, and his luminous legal star is threatened with eclipse by another Western judge whom the exigencies of the times haye brought to the sur- face, It was in a matter of breach of promise in emean afew days ago. The Judge charged as fol- lows :— ‘The evidence shows that he sot up with hernight after night and they squoze hands and talked sott, and I think she ought to have about $23 damaj That man is bound for a place in nt’s Cabinet if they both live a few years longer. A Scathing Criticism from the Pennsyl. vania Monthly for January. It may seem rather a severe thing to say of an appointment to any office that it is one of the worst that General Grant has made, and yet his recent nomination of the Attorney General to the Chief Justiceship seems to merit nothing better. From his previous appointments, and, indeed, from the proof which he has given us of his knowiedge and appreciation of offices and men, we had no reason to expect great things. And yet the Presideut was, no doubt, perfectly sincere when he caused it to be generally understood, after the death of Chief Justice Chase, that he would take time toconsider the appointment of a suc- cessor and name noone without mature reflection. He has taken time; he has considered well; he has maturely reflected, and in his opinion the Bar of the United States furnishes no lawyer so fit for the Chiei Justiceship as the Attorney General. From the many newspapers which have gathered with extraordinary diligence the leading facts of Mr. Williams’ career we learn that he was admitted to the lowa Bar at 21 and elevated to the Bench by a piptcens and appreciative people at 23. There ave been few better judges at that age, if we can credit @ contemporary, and in no year of his judicial life were more than 50 per cent of his decisions reversed Ke the superior courts. Altera career in Iowa, “the like of which,” to quote an eminent Irish lawyer, ‘is hardly to be tound in the jurisprudence of the most barbarous nations on the face of the earth,” Judge Williams went to Oregon as Chief Justice of the then newly created Territory. P: into the Senate when Oregon became a State, he remained an inconspicuous Member of it until the eagle eye of the President detected in him those qualities which fitted him for the at of High Commissioner, He was thus enabled to bring into the service of his gountry the mature powers of a mind trained in the forensic contests of the lowa bar, and steeped in the le; lore of Oregon. His experience in the formation of the Washington Treaty proves anats and, in- deed, renders quite contemptible, the story which hasbeen recently mentioned of his having expressed his belief that “Vattel was a Western reporter.” When it was found that the country could sufely dispense with the tic intellect of Mr. Aker- man, and that gentleman relapsed into obscurity, Mr. Williams became Attorney General. itis ni misfortune perhaps more than his fault that he has been forced by circumstances to shine rather in the political 1! in the professional affairs of his department. It was he who originated the plan which enabled the twin legislatures of Alabama to lie down in peace together and eventually become one; it is he who has upheld the oft-failing hands of Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana; it was the Attorney General to whom the country owes the on of a Mr. Brown, not unknown to fame in hiladelphia, as the only one of the many fraudulent voters in 1872 whom the people succeeded In bringing to justice and convicting; anditis Mr. Williams who has guarded with re- ligious care that stery which surrounds the names Of those “prominent” citizens of Philadel- phia whose souls yearned in secret for the re- peater’s pardon, who united to secure it, and, having done so, blush lest itbe known. Mr. Wil- Hams has occasionally appeared in Court. In Hartiord last summer he argued the Crédit Mobilier case in such amanner as to call forth but one opinion from all who heard him, and to convince, if not the Court of tne strength of his case, at least the audience of his own incapacity, and to draw from a strong administration journal the re- mark within the last fortmight that no one who listened to him there can _ be- lieve thatit is for his learning, or culture, or ability that he has been chosen for Chief Justice, “But it should be remembered that he was oppos mm that case by men like Curtis and ‘varts and Shipman and Bartlett (none of whom have ever been nominated for Chief Justice), and his case, 100, was unskilfully begun. It does cer- ly seem to @ finite and unofficial mind that there might be found some person in the Estee of the American Bar more worthy of this lofty place, but the President has, no doubt, made the best ap- pointment of which he is capable. The circum- | stance goes a long way toward making us feel sat- isfled with an elective judiciary, The people would hardly have made such a choice. The news- papers of all shades of politics are almost unani- mous im their outcry against it, rang- ing from the indignant scream of the democratic to the gentle remonstrance of the administration organs. It ought, however, to be chronicied in justice to Mr. Wil- liams, that at least two newspapers have received his Domination with enthusiasm; one, a paper pub- lished in San Diego, Cal., and the other the official journal of Governor Kellogg. With these exceptions ge the feeling is universal. The nominetion jas startled the country; it has shocked the Bench; it will demoralize the Bar. Not only on prot grounds have objections been raised vo ites confirmation. C1 of @ serious char- acter have been made from Oregon against the in- tegrity of Mr. Williams, and he has been obliged to pear in self-defence. There 1s reason to hope that they are unfounded, but it ts very sad to think that the choice of the President for the Ohief Justiceship ts a man just whom auch charges can be made. The Senate has adjourned for the Lee 1 without takiag any-action on the nomination. It is perhaps too much to expect that it will reject it, but on its dignity and independence the coun- try resté its final hope.

Boston, Dec. 20, 1873, To the Hon. WILLIAM A. RICHARDSON, Secretary of the Treasury, Washington :— Srr—I desire to present to your consideration some thoughts and conclusions on the financial questions before the country. Assuming that the national debt at the present time amounts to $2,150,000,000, it becomes @ mat- ter of great importance to the whole couutry that this debt should be funded at a rate of interest not exceeding four per cent, on a long period of time, and disposed of in such @ way as to form a basis for the whole circulating medium of the country, This may be done, provided we take advantage of past experience, retaining so much of the banking system as has proved itself useful and rejecting all that has been proved to be hortiul. Banks of discount and deposit are essential and useful in ali commercial, manufacturing and farm- ing communities, and should be made by a general law free for all to engage in who may be able to comply with its provisions. But they should be prohibited from lending or using in any manner, except as specifically defined by law, any moneys left with them on deposit. The use of these deposits without security to the depositors has heretofore veen begotten in a spirit of speculation by officers and principal stock- holders seekiug to acquire the largest possible gains; and by this means they have created, stimulated and fed a like spirit of speculation in financial circles which, as experience proves, must necessarily culminate in a panic, the severest effects of which fall upon those not responsible for the cause, Custom has sanctioned the use of these deposits only on the alleged ground that the business of panking could not otherwise be made protitabie. You will see that the bills herewith submitted, should they become laws, will entirely obviate this objection. They will furnish, by secured use of the deposits, immediate and reliable means for the funding of the national debt without inflation, and will in- spire the communtty with entire confidence in our banking institutions. As a result of this deposits will be largely increased, and at the same time the banks will derive an assured protic {rom their de- posits and acquire means at all times to immedi- ately discharge their deposit indebtedness, They will also furnish the country with a uniform, relia- ble and clastic currency, As another result there will arise an immediate reduction in the annual interest account of the government and of the an- nual payments on the public debt, and the dis- missal of all the internal revenue officers, with their attendant expenses—an end much desired by all taxpayers, Our nation is at the present time a large producer of the precious metals, and there is every prospect for its continuing so to be. In fact, so large has this pro- duction grown that goid and siiver now form as Tegular articles of commerce as any other great Staples. A great neea is felt by our mining com- munities for some method of converting the metals themselves into a means of exchange, at once easily attainable, safe, reliable aud ortable. Thjs end, 1 think, may be attained yy adopting the provisions contained in the “Act to secure to the people a uniform car- rency.” You will notice that one of the provisions of this bill, while it retires the present frac- tional currency, makes provision for the issue of one redeemable at all thmes in gold and silver, thus enabling the people to use specie in their transac- sons yore pelng, hamenea wee He weight of e precious metals.

The Duke of Hemilton Allowed $200,000 a Year from His Estates, A MOST FEARFUL FOG. The Prince of Wales and “Vanity Fair.” Lonpon, Dec. 15, 1873. In the telegraphic account of the Duke of Ham- iiton’s marriage which | sent you on Wednesday last F mentioned that among the guests was Mr. Padwick, the great racing man. The exigencies of the cabie and the pressure of writing against time do not permit one to enter into all the detail one would wish; 80, for the information of such of your readers as are ignorant on the subject, I may men- tion that Mr. Padwick is a Kind of sporting lawyer, who has had “transactions” with most of our tarf supporting jeunesse dorve, and is the person in whose hands the affairs of our three most eele- brated ‘plungers’’—the Dukes of Hamilton and New" castle, and the late Marquis of Hastings—nave faiten for settlement. Although not without am eye to the main chance, and with an elasticity of conscience in regard to the percentage which he considers his due, Mr. Padwick {s considered a man of property, and has undoubtedly vast business talents. It is said that he would havd been able to place Lord Hastings on his legs again if that un- fortunate young nobleman had only lived long enough, The Duke of Newcastle has still hopes of recovering his patrimony, while as for the Duke of Hamilton, his involved affairs have been so well managed by Mr. Padwick that, whereas after his Grace’s firgt coming to grief a few years since he could only draw £10,000 a year, he is now in re- ceipt of quadruple that sum, and before long will again be master of the whole of his magnificent property. And for this he may be principally grateful to the skill and energy of the short, stout, quiet looking, gray headed man who formed one of the wedding procession. It ts the belief in America, as in France, that our winters im London are passed in almost total darkness, caused by the fog, and that, next to the Esquimaux, we are the most practically benignted people on the earth. I have always frowned upon this idea ag @ gross exagger- ation, but I am bound to say that during the past week we have had reason to be heartily ashamed of our climate. For the last six days London has been enveloped in a thick black fog, the like of which I, witn a tolerably large ex- perience, have never seen. It has been so dense that 1 all counting houses and merchants’ estab- lshments the gas has been lighted just as at night; that traffic has been 1mmensely impeded, most of the omnibuses and tramways ceasing to run; that trains on the railroads have been hours behind time, and that such cabs as ventured to ply their calling made their way with their drivers at the horses’ heads, and in many cases preceded by @ boy bearing a flaring torch. A fog with us is gen- erally a matter of a few hours. It comes on tn the evening, makes the night h&leous, and tne next morning is gone; but this, as I say, has endured for days. Commercially it has been irightfally dis- astrous. All building operations were suspended, as was all work comnected with the river and the docks, whereby thousands of persons were thrown out ofemployment. The great Smithfleld Club Cattle show of prize animals, which was being held at the Agricultural Hall, sutfered immensely, not merely on account of the diminution of the num- ber of its visitors, but irom the fact that owing to the extreme density of the atmospnere the respira- tion of very many of the animals was affected, and they either died or had to be killed. (It may be here noted that one of the principal prizes of the show was gained by Mr. Walter, M. P., the chief proprietor of the Times). In the theatres the fog filled the space between the audience and the actors, and neither could see the other, while the number of lives lost is at present incalculable, but is said to be very great. In fact, all the miseries 80 wonderfully set forth in the late Thomas Hood’s “Ode to a Fog’’ were perfectly realized. Of course, the town ts ringing with stories of the adventures which have happened during the darkness, one oj which is worth quotiug. An old gentleman who had some business at Charing Cross made his way as far as the Strand, but there completely lost him- self, He crept slowly on and on without the least idea of where he was going until he found himself descending some steps. On these steps he plumped against a man who was coming up them. “Hallo! said the old gentleman. “Hallo!” said the man. “Can you tell me,” said the old gentle- man, “where I am-going to?” “Yes,” said the man, “if you go straight on you will walk into the river, for I’ve just come out of it.” All Englishmen who know anythingy about American affairs are very angry with Mr. Lowe for having, in @ speech made the other day at a public dinner, attempted to cast asiar upon the New York police in connection with the attempt made to bribe some of its members by the Bank of England forgers. This was done on the principle which ieads a counsel when ho bas @ bad case of his own to blackguard the plaintiff's attorney. Mr. Lowe undertook the defence of our metropolitan police, and he had as desperately bad case, inas- much as the force has rapidly and systemati- cally deteriorated within the ast few years, It is very badly pald. The average rate of wages is 25 shillings @ week, exactly the half-of what is given to your New York constables, It has no prospect of promotion from the ranks and it is rulea in far too stridtly military a spirit. Mr. Lowe instanced in proof of its excellence by how comparatively small a num- ber of men the property and safety of this vast metropolis are guarded ; but that surely is a tribute to the lawabiding qualities of the population rather than tne efficiency of the force. We have had Mark Twain, over here lecturing on the “Sandwich Islands” and “Nevada,” at the Hanover Square Rooms. He made a great hit at first, but I am afraid has rather overdone It by lecturing every night. We are not much of a lec- ture-going people, and our public—you remember what Byron saia about “hammering a hoarse laugh from a@ coarse throng’—requires educating to a comprehension of the subtleties of American humor. I recollect hearing one of our most cele- brated painters complain that he saw no fun in Artemus Ward, and that ‘the man evidently didn’t see any nimeelf, for he never smiled once.” Vanity Fair, not Thackeray's great novel, but @ weak dilettante amateurish periodical, which some of your readers may know from seeing it in Bren- tano’s window, is about, after the lst of January, to raise its price to one shilling. Its letterpress is of the lowest order of snobbish twaddle, but it has obtained a certain amount of circulation owing to the caricatures of statesmen, people in society and men of letters which it publishes. The best ot these are by Mr. Pellegrini, a little Italian gentle- man, in himself the essence of caricature, who has for a long time been absent from the paper, but whose services have again been secured. It is ru- mored that his cartoons of the Duke of Edinburgh playing at bowls and ofmany of the members of the Marlborough Club, which have long been en- Joyed bya certain section of society, will now be issued to the public. Lt is this which has probably given rise to another rumor to the effect that the Prince of Wales has purchased the paper. There ie no truth in this, nor was there any need for such a step. Th@ present proprietor would go to the length of giving one of his ears—and they are very long—to do anything to curry favor with His Royal.
