4 — SARATOGA REGATTA. Princeton College Earnestly at Work for the Great Event. ‘The University and Fresh- man Crews. — PRINCETON, June 7, 1874, ‘Whether a man cares for rowing or not the Spectacle of six well made fellows stepping forward from the boat house bearing in their arms a long narrow shell, polished to the smoothness of glass, and, as the word is given, dashing of on a practice pull of five or six «miles, 1s enough to amply repay him for a trip from New York to this delightful village. Merely asa spectacie tt is pleasant, but when you add the knowledge that these six fresh, blooming young men are the chosen ones of thetr Alma Mater, from out of 417 students, to represent ner for the first time in the great inter-collegi- ate struggle, and irom whom she ex- pects good tidings in the battle of skill and endurance with the finest oarsmen of our American universities the sight becomes peculiar, and is likely to make @ deep im- | pression and frequently come uppermost in the memory. ton crew who will be on Lake Saratoga to represent the institution in the University race soon to take place. Taking the men all together they ere, collectively or individually, @ good lot as far as physique and education go, and will no doubt one day, when they have gone from the | portais of old Princeton, and wien boat races and | regatta victories and college scrapes have no ex- | istenoe excepting as misty remembrances, maxe | their mark in whatever pursait they embark in the | busy life of the great worid; but the all-engrossing theme of details I leave for the present to write a word of the history of ROWING AT PRINCETON. Eighteen years alter the first boat race took place between the representatives of Ya‘e and | Harvard—that is, in 1870, and perhaps without | much faith in the success of the effort—boating was | first discussed in the classic halls of this college. | At that time a company of eight of her most atn- | letic students met in West College in response toan | invitation, and considered the feasibility of organ- iaing a navy among thém, despite the apparent disadvantages which existed. A general laugh | went around the gathering, and three of those “ physical Nowers”’ of the aniversity immediately withdrew. The five others remained, and to this litle coterie Princeton owes her present position im the pastime of boating and the dignity of aspir- | ing to become the champion university in due time. As evidence that these young men bad stout | hearts and unwavering nerve, they put their hands deep into their pockets and at once par- | chased what was then called two ‘‘six-oared gigs;”” | but the name was a misnomer, as the boats were respectable imitations of Noab’s ark, and about as | appropriate; in which they could learn nothing | but a Vitiated style, that would require thorough change before the beginners could be formed in | the right mould. The history of one of these Doats 18a short one, It was launched on the | canaland manned by six enthusiastic oarsmen, who, alter 100 yards of the most ridiculous exnibi- | tion of rowing, were compelled to swim ashore, the leaky old craft having filled and gone to the | bottom. “Tne result of this first sttempt | to establish rowing as a general recreation among | the students,” wrote a graduate of ciass '72, “was | for the next few days the pet subject of ridicule, | ‘and formed the theme of gossip among the prin- | cipal societies and clubs.” But the five students were not cast down by this failure, and not for an instant did they abandon the undertaking or | Jalterin the prosecution of the good work. On | the contrary, they persevered all the more, and | the second boat proving to be a little better than | ‘the old coffin that went under, the crew ina short | time lesrned to feather an oar quite well, | sit in the boat fairly and judictously expend their @trength on the stroke. All this time, be it re- membered, the students of Princeton, like the young Greeks of old at the college of which Plato | was “prex,’’ and some hard-headed and bard | fisted old Greek was proctor, they had their games, | and, in order to make any kind of # creditaple exhibition when they took place, were obliged to do considerabie training in their gymnasium, and | ‘the good time the gay young men had in ruaning and lea are them @ muscular development Which weil fitted them to become tolerably pro- ficient in the use 0! the oar. Two years they continued to improve their standard and advance in the art of row- | Ywg, When, in 1872, the leaders of the pastime ielt | that, ia their practice, they were sufficientiy de- veloped to row in pubiic, and, obtaintug tne co- of their Jellow-students, purchased a four-oared shell, selected their crew and went into | after ente! jor tae Schuylkill Navy Re- | nm open to all amateurs. Faith ue crew took their practice pulls, and so quietly did they arrive in Philadelphia, so young were the men and go slight seemed their chances of success, the specuiative gentlemen, who are always on hand. and will venture @ few crisp green- backs on the issue of any aquatic struggie, entirely forgot their existence and left them Out of their Wagers. The Princeton voys surprised them. The crew did #0 well and showed so Mpch piuck throughout the contest that Josh. | Ward gave them unstinted praise for the iorm in | wich they presented themselves and the manner | in which they pulied to the finisn. Trough beaten, | tue deieat proved the stepping stone to juture suc- | cess, The Association steadily increased in num- bera, new boais were purchased, until row: was Ormiy established as one of the sports of | Princeton, and many of the older games were thrown aside as quite bumougs in comparisun, TRE BOAT HOUSSS. The first boat house of the young oarsmen was an old wagon shed iuily hati @ mile irom the par: and though the journey to and iro from the cana! was up and down a precipitous hill, tne awkward and clumsy olf crait they then owned was daily carried on their backs the course, and when desired placed at the service of their fellow students, At last the strength of | the organization aud the tunds furnished by the | members enabled them to build a nouse of their | ownin which to store their property, and this done they tad reached a result infinitely greater than the most sanguine of the original founders | bad hoped to secure without years of weary labor. | ‘The success of the ro» ing association was now & foregone conclusion, and the more expert oarsmen | ventured to iit their aquatic heads still higher and | e@refully scrutinize the amateur world. The nar- | row confines of this curious old village might ave been large enough in the earlier days of row- | ing among them to exhibit what skill they pos- | sessed, but now, precisely as it and their physical | strengto were developed, they must compare | ftnem with the oars of tnose colleges who for | tweptyears or more have annually struggied for aquaut prowess. And so they determined that PRINCETON SHOULD NO LONGER be without representative crews in the annual | intercollegiate regatta. To enable them to suc- cessfully carry out this wise resolve, and have | accommodations sufficientiy roomy for the better Preservation of their boats and for training pur- | poses, the association began instituting inquiries as to the probable cost of more extended quarters, ‘nd seriously considered the project of beginning ® hew siructure upon their own ponsibiiity ; and then if no aid could be procured trom the athietic-1 iz alumni, to pay for it themselves. | Buch grit aiways is @ favorable response.

Oanal boats and propellers they may frequently meet, but they are not unsurmountable obstacles and offer but little obstruction, while the several brid, readily turned for the six-oared shel for steam propeller. In truth, the residents along the canal are enthusiastic on the subject of Prince- ton’s Orat attempt in the Coll Re im, and want “them boys to have a fair Up there in togy.”’ So the course, when one becomes ure in her prepara- tions for this year’s aquatic struggle. Twenty men were seiected and commenced eaines? work in the gymnasium—with the oars, pulleys, beils—that they might be found in fair physical condition when the final selection was made. During the autumn, winter and spring they stuck like Trojans to this labor a certain num- ber of hours datly not devoted to study, living ab- stemiousiy the while, All were enthusiastic in the matter, aod those set aside from time to time as not betng thougnt warey cancianied for admis- sion to the boat ielt greatly mortified, bat were willing to give way to better men. At last eighteen men were placed in the practice barge at different times, taught the stroke and severely tested in the matter of en- durance. They were required to row five or six miles twice a day, and develop in every possi- ble respect their qualifications ior the positions to which they aspired. Then came the selection, and eight men ware Pane from the number, to whom will be intrusted the aquatic reputation of the col- lege. Again, from the eight the six required oars were chosen about two weeks since, and the men then went diligently to work, though they had be- fore rowed together. These are the six oars which I saw stepping from the boathouse yesterday, and as they stood in the bright June sunshine, with tueir flannel shirts, the arms cut off to allow full play for the muscles, I thought them @ very good lut.

PHILADELPHIA, July 8, 1874, Tbe National Rowing Course, which embraces the graceful stretch of water on the Schuylkill between the falis at the Old Stone Bridge and the Rockland landing, will, on the 16:h and 18th of the present month, become the fleld of many contest- ants for aquatic laurels, in anticipation ‘of which tts quiet waters have been for the past few weeks daily and almost hourly disturbed. The course is believed to be one of the best in the country. It is wide, smooth and straight, never broken by rough or lumpy water ana per- fectly free from all angular and abrupt curves. Bounded upon one side by the somewhat rugged but picturesque scenery of Fairmount, and par- tially upon the other by 8 commodious country road, &® magnificent outlook is furnished for spec- tators, and good facilities ior carriages and pedes- trian.

Roberts—Testimony of Mrs. Pettus—A Wife Who Objects to be Used as a Tool by Her Husband. The trial of Andrew L. Roberts for for; bonds of several raliway companies, more especially of the Central Railway, was resumed yesterday morning, before Judge Brady. The court room was | crowded. District Attorney Phelps appeared for the prosecution and ex-Recorder Smith, ex-Mayor Hall and ex-United States Assistant District At- torney Purdy for the defence. Henry Mluler, Jr., an oyster dealer in Perry street, corroborated the testimony of the engraver Olm- stead for the prosecution, who had sworn that he saw the latter in company with Roberts ina saloon in Fulton street. Mrs. Jane Pettus, wife of “Spence” Pettus, said she became acquainted with the prisoner shortly aiter her marriage, Which occurred in 1870; Rob- | erts, some time in 1872, asked her to hand John A. Ulmstead @ certain amount of money, and in return she received {rom Olmstead a $500 bond and t “a PIECE OF STEEL,’? something {ike a half pound in weight, wrapped up in brown paper, which she did not look at; the bond was a Western Union Telegraph bond; she delivered the bond and ‘steel’ to Gleeson in his house in Forty-eighth street; ali this time her busband was in Boston; she subsequently saw Roberts, and he asked her whether Oimstead Objected “to giving her the work;’’ afew days afterwards Oimstead’s boy gave her a “seal” and asked her to tell the man who was to reccive it that 1t would have to ve used a dozen times be- | jore it would make a good’ impression; she | delivered it to Gleeson at his house; alter her hus- band had been arrested and taken to Boston the Prisoner and Smith called on her trequently to io- quire about bim; in almost every letter irom her husband there was an instruction to carry some message Lo Roberts; previous to her marriage ner husbaud led her to believe that he was in the em- ploy 01 Colonel Wood, vi the Detective Service ; sie tnreatened to sue Roberts and bring him to justice for $1,800 which be owed her; she put up ? pce for bail and tor no other purpose ; she denied hav- | me threatened Roberts with going to Pinkerton’s unless HE WOULD RETURN THE MONEY; she had heard that he paid $500 to counsel; she never asked “General?

THE WANTS OF CENTRAL PARK, To rae Eprror oF THE HERALD: — You b: well said respecting the ‘Needs of Central Park.” Perhaps, as { am not a citizen, it may fily become me to make mention of a few other needs, You people cannot always tell how these things strike strangers, and are not al- ways ready to correct matters which are tending in the wrong way because you are not iiabie to see them. You have alluded to the need of a grand central point of gathering, like Rotten Row in Hyde Park; then, on the top of that, do you not need a grand central entrance for strangers, where there shall be ready Y Drover couveyances for the circuit of the Park?

Kinaston, N. Y., June 7, 187% Mike Lawless, confined in jail in this place awaiting trial on several charges, it is now known was one of the gang of masked robbets engaged in the robbery and outrage of the Post family, near Catskill. His criminal career has been extraor- dinary and bold. The Lawiess family live in Sau- gerties, The name became obnoxious in this vi- cintty about the time the war broke out, Obristy Lawless, Mike’s brother, then committed @ most cowardly and ocold-bioodea murder. He took of- Jence at something a quarryman named Dennis Fiynn had said, and one morning he loaded a double-barreiled shotgun and walked deliberately” to the quarry where Fiynn was working, almost in sight of Saugerties. Going up to Fiynn, Christy told him to take TWO MINUTES TO PREPARE FOR DEATH, es he was going to kill him. Flynn fell on his knees and begged to be spared. Tne two minutes passing Lawless raised his gun and fired the con- tents of both barrels into Flynn’s head, killing him instantly. The bloody deed was witnessed by a fellow quarryman, who was afraid to interfere. Christy fled the piace, and aitbough the autharities offered a large reward for him he was never captured. Soon alterward Mike Lawless commenced his career. He was a boatman on the Hudson, run- ing between Albany and New York. He became notorious in the former place by several bold rob- beries, and finally he shot a stranger dead in a saloon there and fied the city. He went home to Saugerties and was bid away by his mother for some months. Alter the Albany affair had quicted down he again made his appearance. With a “pal” named Wes Shears he became the terror of Saugerties and the surrounding country. By @ series 01 robberies, of which there was no doubt he and Shears were the perpetrators, he ac- cumulated enough to open a saloon im Saugerties. Having acquired @ hatred against his motner be- cause she was partial to bis brother Tom, he gave her a feariul beating one day, which nearly proved Jatal, He was arrested aud bailed by his brother- in-law, @ man named Taylor. Tnings were begin- ning to get warm tor him in Saugerties, and ne tried to sell his place, but-jound no purchaser, He then took out an insurance of $1,000 on it, and a few nignts after it burnea down. The circum- stances attending the fire seemed to point directly to Mike Lawiess as its cause, but the insurance was paid. and no investigation made. He opened another place, and. svon after, midnignt FIRES BEGAN TO RAGE iu Saugerties. Iney were all belleved to be the work of Mike Lawiess. Lvureng Loerzel, the brewer, refused to give Lawless the credit for ale, and the latter swore he would Gx him. He often threatened to make bis mother’s house ‘crack around her head.’’ Her shanty adjoiued the tine residence of the brewer. One cold night in De- cember the latter was found to be in flames, The brewer's family had barely time to escape with their lives. ‘The house was burned to the ground, ana the brewer lost $30,000. This fire also de- siroyed Mrs. Lawiess’ house, While the fire was progressing Mike Lawless stood in his rumhole and laughed at the ruin that was going on. It soon became well known that he HAD SET THR BUILDINGS ON FIRE, but noone dared to move against him, so com- pletely did the place stand in terror of him. soon aiterwards Lawless committed two highway rob- beries. He assaulted a jeweller named Holsche and @ lawyer from Néw York and robbed them bovh of large sums of money. For this he was at- rested and beld to bait, but the complainants were airaid to appear agalost him and he was ais- charged. About a year ago, without any provoca- tion, Lawless shot man named Freieigh in Saugerties. The builet entered Freleigh’s side. He ran, and Lawless followed him, friug again, but Freleign reached a piace of saiety. It was not thougat he could recover, but aiter being laid up Some Months he got about again. Mike was ar- Leth lor this outrage. His brother-in-law weat HE JUMPED THE BAIL, and it wi lorieited. Lawiess returned to Saugerties alterward, but notuing further was ines im the matter. Last tail Tom Lawless bought oa Of hay. She lived alone, below Saugerties, Mike found out that the money had been paid, and one nigut be and Wes Shears went to the widow's and broke into her nouse. They dragged her from bea and demanded the $50, She reiused to give it to them, when they smasned all of her tur. niture, cat ber vetctotnes in strips and violated ner person. Being unadie to find the money they beat the old woman until she was sensolcss and leit ber tor dead. it was@ long time belore she Tecovered. She recognized Mike Lawless as one of her assailants, and ne was arrested and in- dicted tor the crime, which indictments still to be acted upon. Den Brady, one of the Catskill masked robbers, sent to State Prison for twenty years for partici Pation in the Post robbery, iormeriy Lived in Sau- rties, and he and Lawleas were intimate iriends. ‘hen he went to New York to live he introduced Mike to the gang of masked roovers, aud ne became one of them, avd neipeu to plan the pumerous bur- glaries that jollowed. Mixe and one of the gang robbed the house oi an old man named near Saugerties, of $600. There is abundant evidence O1 tus. The Post family now recognize and iven- tify Mike Lawless as vane o! the gang that robbed them. “Shang” Campbell, one of the masked rob- bers, recently sent tv pron fron White Pi.ins, says Lawiess was ong of the Post robbers, Camp- bell says Mike took precy, all the bonds stolen at a them and relused to divide with TO RO’ BUTH OF THE SAUGRRTIRS BANKS. All the arrangements were made for one night last Febuary. Tue gang got a8 far as Tivoh, and tue ice prevented them crossing tne river, and they robbed Williams’ store at Tivoli instead. About this time circumstances placed the bank oMcers on weir guard. Mike got wind that he was suspected and ielt Saugerties. wetectives were placed on his track, but he eluded pursuit | until last March. One day in the latter part of that month he was arrested tp New York by De- tective Lyons, of that city, and Officer Crowley, of Saugerties, Wes Shears was with him, but es- caped. Lawiess tried to shoot Detective Lyons aiter his arrest, He was brought to tunis place and | lodged in jatl, all offefs of bail veing reiused by Judges Westbrook and Lawton.

A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday afternoon to consider the Motety bill which is now before the United States Senate, it having passed the House. A. 4. Low presided and Mr. Wilson, the Secretary to the Chamber of Commerce, was appointed secretary of the meeting. On the invitation of Mr. Jackson 8. Schults Mr. Sherburne B. Eaton, the lawyer who bad charge of the bil at Washington, addxessed the Chamber, explaining the position in whica the bill now stood. It was necessary, he said, that the mer chants should use every exertion at the present time if they wanted to push the bill through. Congress would adjourn in two weeks and uath the session the Senate fall of work. The by Senator Fenton, and which been ied Out for two ¥ was pppended to the merchants’ bili, and this was made a pre- toxt for delay by the enemies of reform. It was necessary, in consequence of Senator Fenton’s pill being appended, to take into consideration the question Of the salaries of the Custom House men, and this needed correspondence between Seaators and Custom House peopie. Hence the delay. The Probability was that except the merchants took some very decided course immediately the bill would not reach the Senate thts session. Mr. Jackson 8S. Schults next addressed th meeting, urging prompt action, He 7 @ brief history of the “oourse the commirvee had taken, and having the il in char, the Teception the committee had met with ington. He said that the Co! sional at Wash ngre! committees had even gone farther in furtherance of the wishes of the merchants than the latter had asked tor. Brera wire, 1n Washington the com- mittee had been kindly received, and there was no doubt about the passage O! the bill by the Senate, if it could only get beiore that body. ‘The present tary of tke Treasury tavored it, as did the former Secretary. It was of vast importance to the merchants that the bill should not be deieated, Defeas would be disastrous, He knew that, if the bill were not passed, books and papers of mer- chants wouid be seized m this city a3 soon as Con- gress would adjourn. But they were ndw resolved that the cause of one merchant would be made the cause of all, and that no one merchant would be allowed to f An attack apon one would be resented by ail. The bill was announced to come belore the Senate that day, but it was probable 1t would not, and the merchants of Bostun, Philadelphia and Baitimore were at that hour holding meetings for a purpose similar to theirs, It was bargin’ that prompt action shouid be taken, and the best way to wor! now was for all of them who could to proceed at once to Washington and urge upon thelr friends and aid by their presence the passagé of the bi by the Senate. On motion of Mr. 8, D, Babcock the following preamble and resolution were unanimously adopted :— Whereas svies, informers, farmers ofthe revenue on shares and corrupt Treasury agents have, by means of terror, black mail and bad laws, plundered the mer- chants of the country until their wrongs have become intolerable; and whereas a dill, known e Motety bill, giving substantial relief to’ the merchants, is now pending in Congress, having passed the House without a dissenting voice and being now before the Senate, where the bill has been so amended as to give fixed suiaties to as well ag to raise the salaries of those 8 -will be reduced by the abolition of res which in themselves meet with the proval of the merchants of New York, at existing salaries are inadequate secure character, skill and ability in official places; a: whereas the importers of this city are convinced that the necessities of commerce impefatively require that ‘Whose perq' moieties, measi | most cordial pI | who believe ti | the pending Moiety bill shall pass Congress and become law, tothe end that revenue service shall be re- | formed, | that bribes 1 not, (be offered to the | employer se! moet raps tor 8 - | ployer, nor treachery “among clerks be exalted | into an occasion for the bestowal of fortuns | and office at the hands of the government; that th Yoiee of the detective shall be hushed anu personal p. | ularity of merchants at the Custom House shall not | the best safeguard against uojust seizures; that innocent | Mistakes and wiltul irauds shall not be punished alike; nor technical errors arising under obscure laws subject gptire invotoes and whole cargoes to condseation; that the sacredness of private correspondence shall again be- come inviolable, and aileged offenders shall not perforee cunviet themselves out of their own mouths, nor out of the $3 ries shall rej re cording to their own convictions iy, that t zisting system of moteties, revenue farmers aad spies shall be swept from the sight of an mdignant public, as.belonging wo anepoch 1 wrony id violen nd not in harmony with the in- stinots of & ireu poopie’, Teas theretore, Resolved, That the Special Committee on Revenue Re- form of the New York Chamber ot Commerce ond | hereby is requested to most earnestly urge upon the | Senate the imperative necessity for immediate reiiet to ry if and that honorable body to pass he Moiety bill, now before it, and that the Committee on Revenue Retorm be the Chairman of and hereby is instructed to forward a copy of these Fesolutions to every member of Congress.

Tne Petition was referred to the Committee on Law. | The latter committee, to whom was previously | referred the subject of the Permit Bureau, reported an ordinance providing that the fee fur permits of all kinds shall be only $1 each.

OVERDONE RECONSTRUCTION. {From the indianapoiis Journal—Senator Morton'a organ.) In view of this slow progress itis worth while for vongress to consider whether tt has mot made the mistake of interfering too much in the affairs of the Southern States and of overdoing the work of reconstruction. The best thing Congrese-can do | with Arkansas, and with every other state, unless clearly calied upon by the requirements o: the con- stitution to interiere, is to severely let them alone. What the pevopie of the South want is reat and local self-goveruinent, instead of Congressional in- verference. The condition of affairs in some of | taose Svates is certainly very vad, but the inter. | Jerence policy does not seem to help them much, | apd We shoud like to see the let alone policy tried | tor & white. ment be requested to proceed as soon as pracuicavle to of this resolution.

The Opposition to Mixed Schools in ° East Tennessee, KNOXVILLE, June 6, 1976 The followmg ts the substance of a letter aa& dressed by Senator Brownlow to Rev. Dr, Bartlets, President of Maryville College, in reference to the passage of the Vivil Rights bill in the United States: Senate, in consequence of 8 statement made by the latter favoring Mr. Sumner’s views. In the first portion of the letter Mr. Brownlow states that this measure is not necessary to complete the poltey of reconstruction upon which che repubil- can party entered at the close of the rebellion; that that policy contemplated nothing more than the political enfranchisement of the blacks, whick was secured by the constitutional amendments, and that it was no part of the repoblican purpose to force mixed schools upon the people or to con- fer upon any class the privileges specially scoorded to the negroes by this bill, The letter concludes: On the general subject of the so-called Civil Rights bill, and what tts advocates call “pr ing the negro,” Ihave a few words to say. negro now has the <— protection of laws. In other words, has equal poi jh the whites, Besides this, in alt mo States he has equal facilities for eduoation at public expense, though he does not pay one-tenth of one per cent on the dol Jar ol the taxes which are collected to support the schools, No invidious distiuctiois are made against him, Education in these States is ous of the sphere of politics. The negro is amply pro- tected, and the Natioual Legislature should cease legisiating on the educational question and creat- ing ‘turmoil and bad blood where progress and good feeling ts being secured. For several years. the greater portion of the time ot our legisistors has mn Occupied in legislattng for the pegro race. Amendment alter amendment to the constuution has been adopted, and law after law tor the further protection of the negro bas been adopted, Until he is now the political equal of the white man. Now that this has been acaieved business ought to stop. The cuuntry at large is coming disgusted with the efforts now bi made to oppress the whites in the passage of @ bill whiod 18 not easential to the protection of the blacks. What the people and States of the Souta need is to be let alone by Vongress and given ® little Spporsantey for recovering from the deso! tion and waste of war. The Southern people hat been whipped in the battle between the sections, and, except a smal class of iossilized politicians and a jot of Weak-minded young meu who part their hair in the middle, they acknowledge and feelit. In no State is the negro deprivea o1 tull and equal protection before tue law. but in several Soath- ern States, ike Soutn Carolina, the white man has no rights which the negro is bound to respect. The Southern people have been suMictentiy pun- ished for participation in the rebeiiuon, und in- stead of harassing and further bumilating them Congress ought to extend io them a helping hand, In saying this I do not detract one tora of my pre- viously expressed opinions of the folly of the Souhera people and the crime of their rebellious. leaders, I never supposed that, in being loyal to the government, I ceased to be a Tennessean and @ Southern man aad tu bave nt to regard the interests of my peopie as w Englander or, Western man regards the interests of his.
