After remaining about an hour ashore and making apparently satisfactory progress in the object of their mission they were preparing to re- turn to the ship.

W. Cromwell, of Portsmouth, delivered an ad- dress on the dificulties surrounding the colored youth of Virginia in obtaining an education. ‘These difficulties, he suid, were twofold—financial and moral. The and local support,’ delinquoney of the capitation tax und poverty of the parents, were discussed at length, ‘The moral difficulties, the speaker stated, relate to the supply and character of the teachers who instruct the colored schools, the conditions of public opinion on the object of the education of these youths, and the spirit with which the teachers of these schools enter upon their work. He contended that the Stato had not done all she could to provide for additional schools, and that. it” was the duty of the State Government in further- ance of the necessities of the sehool system to enforce the collection of the capitation tax by making the right of suffrage depend upon its payment. He “claimed that white Southern teachers are not tho best for colored schools; that false and wicked ideas have been so widely spread that their influences have been pernicious in works of instruction by limiting education, checking aspirations, and shutting off opportunities for development and promotion, Rev, W. B. Derrick, of Richmond, next delivered an address on ‘Compulsory Education.” At the afternoon session a resolution was adopted providing for a monthly publication of the educational progross, statistics and “history of the colored people of Virginia, Also a resolution requesting the State Board of Education to establish acolored normal school as soon as practicable, It was agreed that the first an- nual meeting of the Virginia Educational and Historical Association be held on tho third Tuesday in August, 1876.

TWO WAITERS AT THE CLIFF COTTAGES QUARREL ABOUT A GIRL—ONE STABS THE OTHER PROB- ABLY FATALLY—GREAT EXCITEMENT IN THE HOTEL KITCHEN AND AMONG THE GUESTS. Newport, R. 1, August 24, 1875. A probable murder was committed this evening at the hotel connected with the Cliff Cottage Association, It appears one of the waiters in Cottage No. 1, named Jeremiah A. Crump, of Washington, aged eighteen, ‘went Into the hotel upon an errand for the occupants of the cottage, A few moments afterward angry words passed between him and Samuel B. Lowden, head waiter in the hotel, which resulted in Cramp seizing a huge carving knife and plunging it into the left side of Lowden, near the lung, inflicting a ghastly wougd. An alarm was at once given, and the occupants of all the cottages, eight in number, together with the hotel guests, rushed out of doors and to the hotel kitchen. The wounded man was removed to his room and Dr, Mott was summoned, who stated that he could not live until the morning, Crump made no effort to escape, and a policeman pees Se him to the station house. When questions to-night in relation to the affair he burst into tears and exclaimed, “Oh, I’ve killed him! I’ve killed bim!’? Alter being informed that the man was alive he refused | to say anything about the affray. He is but a more lad, and his employers state that he bas proved himselt to be an efficient servant. Lowden also belongs to Wash- ington and is twenty-five years of age. The proprietor of the hotel (W. A. Austin) states that Crump has proved to be a peaceable and efficient em- ployé, and he 1s at a loss to account for the sad affair, STORY OF AN EYE WITNESS, George W. Howard, ina statement made this evening, says:—I work at the hotel. I was cleaning a fish out- side the kitchen, when I noticed both men coming down stairs with knives in their hands. Jerry had a carving knife and Lowden a_ penknife, Crump stabbed Lowden, and dircctly afterward he drew it from him. I then caught hold of Lowden, endeavor- ing to persuade him not to move toward Crump; but ho insisted and struggled to get away from me.

The Argentine Republic Inviting American Enterprise, Dutch Abhorrence of American Railroad Securities. English Shoddy Cotton Keeping American Fab- ties out of the China Markets. Wasnrarox, August 24, 1875. The following extracts are from correspondence just published : NUENOS AYRES, The United States Consul at Bucnos Ayres, in a letter to the Department of State, gays:—‘It is a'mortifying | fact that, while all the leading countries of Europe are | competing for the trade of the River Plate, the United States, whose maritime commerce is next to that of Great Britain, does not supporta single line or steamer. There is no doubt that the trade of this country with | the United States could be very greatly extended and made profitable had we proper facilities in the way of steamship navigation. The tncressing amounts of im- ports from the United States, already showing a large balance of trade in our favor, is & sufficient proof of a demand for American manufactures by the people of the River Plate, while the disposition of the Argentine Republic to assist in the establishment of steam communication betweon Buenos Ayres and New York is suiliciently evident from the fact that the | Argentine Congress, a3 eurly as 1865, voted a subsidy of $20,000 in gold for vight years—which, I am assured, It is willing to increase to $50,000—a thing which it has never done for any other nation, Besides the increase of our commerce the passenger traffic would be large. Not only would the Argentines prefer to travel and put thetr children to school in the United States, but a very large proportion of European tourists and traders, re- turning to their native country, would, by way of change, take the route via the United States. They do not do 80 now.on account of the delays, expense and difficulties of transhipment at Rio Janeiro.” AUSTRIA, ‘The United States Consul at Vienna, Austria, says:— “While in this Empire the recent military laws are being steadily enforced, augmenting its defensive | power, it bas not kept pace with its neighbors in preparation for war and in the inerease of its offensive armament. While discussing the best methods of pre- serving life and promoting prosperity the attention of the country has suddenly been called to its neglect in securing the most efficient means of destruction, ~The | themselves by recent trials that their field artillery | would be comparatively useless ina contest with the | superior guns adopted by other armies, and no, little excitement has attended the dis- covery; for what do {Internal improvements and | sctentitle investigations now profit a State if its | artillery is Insufficient? The inferiority of muzzle-load- ing small arms compared to breech-loaders was demon- strated in 1866, and compelled this government to rearm | its entire force, It declined, however, to take American arms, which proved in every respect satisfactory at trials made here, preferring to give contracts to its own. citizens and thus encourage the manufacture in its own country, and a great establishment was accordingly erected at Steyr. “To bring its field artillery up to the European stand- ard it will be necessary for the government to at once subsidize another manufactory for steel guns. However other industries amd manufactures may languish, the great business of making arms, according to the latest and most improved pattern, flourishes and increases,’” CHINA P The United States Consul at Tien-Tsin, China, says:— “Our trade with China in manufactured cotton goods was once considerable and promising, but in atime of national misfortune that trade passed’ away to others, who secured and still enjoy its benetlts by the practice { of downright, systematic frands, That countless tons ; of clay and other adulterations used by English manu- fucturers should be sold to the Chinese as cotton with the aid of counterfeited trade marks is evidence of tho | shifts made by those manufacturers to retain control of | a trade that does not naturally belong to them. Not- withstanding the difference in the price of labor in both countries, it seems anomalous that England should | buy cotton of the United States, transport send that same cotton, in’ the shape of fabrics, a a long and circuitous route to the consumers in China, when the same market is so much nearer and easier of access to the United States, where the cotton originates. American manufacturers could certain|; purchase cotton in our country on the same terms of- fered by English manufacturers; and it would seem that the higher price for labor paid by the American manufacturer should be partly, tf not wholly, compen- | sated by cheaper transportation direct to China across the Pacitic, while English goods would have to bear the additional cost of transportation across the Atlantic and upertluous half of the distance from England around the Eastern hemisphere to China, If American goods could avail,of cheaper transportation even now, it must be remembered that they could not at present compete in China with grossly adulterated, and hence cheaper, English goods bearing the same trade marks.” GERMANY. The United States Consul at Frankfort-on-the-Main, says:—“All legislation for the German Empire seems to proceed slowly and under great difficulties. The formal work of creating the Empire was but the work of a moment. The legislative bills, having for their object the establishing of the Empire, seem to encounter strenuous opposition from the southern governments, or from parties bi fea to the government existing in other sections. Bavaria (and in some instances the | other southern governments) claims to be made an ex- ception, wholly or in part, from the operation of many ublic measures, Such was the case with the military ws, the imperial civil code, the imperial criminal code, a supreme judiciary forthe Empire, and many other similar great measures. The consequence is that nearly all legislation is partial and sectional. Even now, when it bad been supposed that the new coinage of the Empire was to be universal, and thalér and guilder were to be heard of no more, Bavaria 18 to be excepted, and the guilder is to be used as the medium of business in that country alone. The difli- culties of imperial legislation in the Empire of Germany are to be sur} only by the delays of republican legislative bills in republican France. Existing insti- | tutions, however old and strange, are not willingly { abandoned, or innovations and improvements, however | much needed, readily adopted by the common mind. | The imperial’ Ministry labor for an empire in fact | as well as an empire in naine, but they are obliged to Told temporarily to opposition as a matter of policy. he advantages to be derived from an empire will every day become more apparent, and success must finally crown their efforts.” THE NETHERLANDS, The United States Consul at Rotterdam, Netherlands, says:—‘“Concerning the transactions in United States railroad shares, which before the catastrophe in the United States have been so important an element inthe | Dutch money markets, I have but to repeat the state- | ment of my preceding annual report, Far from showing | any sign of returning confidence in United States rail- road Saree he Dutch public rather manifest increasing aversion. The sale of United States railroad securities, even at the lowest rates, is limited to the smallest minimum. The laws recently enacted in Wisconsin con- cerning railroads has just affected those securities in which the Dutch capitalists had invested enormous | sums—namely, the Chicago and Northwestern, and the | Milwaukee and St. Paul railroads. As yet the holders | of these bonds still believe that the hopes created and entertained by the directors of these railroads will | be realized, and that those laws will be annulled »; the Supreme Court. Should this not be the caso, | a new depreciation of these securities, as well as of al other American railroad bonds,-may be expected, For years to come no investment of Dutch capital in United | States railroad enterprises will be made, Financiers, who, in this country, have been dealing in United States | railroad securities, agree in declaring that a revival of | confidence in American railroad enterprises can only be | expectod when a radical change of the present legisla- tion on railroad companies takes place in tho different States. As the best means of restoring confidence they indicate a strict control of the creation and payment of the capital of companies; the obligatory regular, at Jeast monthly, publication of the receipts and expendi- tures of the railroads; the limitation of the arbitrary power of the presidents of the companies, and a greater influence on the part of holders of really paid bonds,”” EX-SENATOR CARPENTER. | | | MATT CARPENTER DECLINES TO BE PRESENT AT THE INFLATION CONVENTION IN DETROIT.

It will be recollected that several months ago the Grand Jury of the District of Columbia presented Will- jam 8. King on a chargo of perjury, in connection with large sums of money received by him on the Pacific Mail Steamship subsidy account, An indictment was framed, but no day fixed for the trial, owing to the absence from the country of tho material witness, Richard B, Irwin. The same Grand Jury began the investigation of the case of Hon, John G. Schumaker, similarly charged, but did not conclude it, the testimony of Richard B, Irwin being necessary to lay the foundation for a present- ment, The opinion is privately expressed by a promi- nent officer that netther of these persons could be con- victed without the testimony of Irwin, who, it is said, is now in Europe and, therefore, beyond the service of a judicial process. ATTORNEY GENERAL PIERREPONT'S Frrpay.” Attorney General Pierrepont resumed his official duties to-day, It is probable that a First Assistant Attorney General will be appointed during the present week. The name of this officer has not been made pub- lic, but it is ascertained that the appointment will be made from New England. TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF BLANK MONEY ORDERS STOLEN. This afternoon a horse and wagon were backed up to the Post Office building, on the F street side, when two or three persons began loading the wagon from tho basement with sacks of what appeared to be waste paper. ‘The watchman approaching them, they ran away, ledving the horse and wagon, which were transferred to the police, The contents of the wagon proved to be money order blanks worth about $20 per 1,000, As near as could be estimated about 100,000 of them are missing, and it is probable that some were taken before to-day. ‘The entire basement is undergoing repairs, and a largo gang of stonecutters and laborers are constantly passing out and in, while teams are loading and unloading ma terial. ‘The thieves took advantage of this opportunity to commit the larceny. TRYING TO SELL OTTMAN’S PROPERTY. District Attorney Fisher and ex-Judge Wilson, coun- sel for the government in the Treasury robbery caso, this afternoon filed a petition in the District Supreme Court for the sale of the goods attached as the property of W.

Can- ter, embracing allegations of numerous fraudulent transactions in the management of Sing Sing Prison during many years past, and which appeared in the Heratp of last Monday, has not occasioned such an améunt of surprise in and around the institution named | as those who are unacquainted with the antecedents of the author might naturally expect. Indeed, Canter is such an arrant character that in the vicinity of Sing Sing, where he has lived and moved behind grated doors almost ever since he arrived at man’s estato, his reputation for veracity is many degrees below no character at all. Having in his youth devoted himself wholly to crime, which ho Appears to have followed with an unswerving love—sur- passing, if possible, the love of woman—ho is enabled now to boast with pride that he has spent but one Fourth of July outside of the walls of a prison since he became a man, In somo respects it would Prove a difficult task to forman accurate analysis of Canter’s disposition. Two phases of his character aro always palpable, however—viz., that, when out of prison he seems to give his whole time and talents to the scheme of getting back, and when securely in he is incessantly plotting and plauning to get out again, AN EXTRAORDINARY JAUL BIRD, Intent upon ascertaining what some of the ex-dficials of Sing Sing Prison, whom Canter implicates, had to | say about the matter, a Hunan representative | yesterday speut some hours. During the course | of his saunterings he entered the office of ex- Assomblyman Henry ©. Nelson, who has twico filled the post of Agont and Warden of tho prison, his last term having expired January 1, 1873, in pursuance of a change in the administration, After a pleasant in- terchange of ciy ilities the following conversation took Pplace:— Heratp Rerorter—You probably know a convict named ‘Jack’ Canter? Ex-Warden Nxrsov (smiling)—Yes, I have known of him for the past fifteen or eighteen years, long before I was connected with the prison, i “As he was a convict in the prison while# you were | Agent and Warden what has been your opinion of him?" “I think he is what might correctly be termed * A CASH OF TOTAL DEPRAVITY. It is my belief that his brain is badly balanced, and ‘that there are certain subjects on which he is an abso- lute monomaniac. ”” “Would you object to particularizing any of those subjects which, in your estimation, seem to have most control over him?” “Not atall. His besetting sin, his forte, is forgery, regarding which, by the way, he holds some outlandish opinions, which he never ‘misses an opportunity of parading, A NOVEL DOCTRINE. To illustrate:—He argues that a person who is willing to suffer the penalty prescribed by law for an offence has aright to commit that particular crime, providing | he uncomplainingly takes his punishment therefor. In this connection te also holds that at the expiration of his term of sentence his crime has been fully atoned for, and he is accordingly once more a respect- able momber of society until again convicted for another offence. In regard to counterfeiting money, he insists that it is no crime, since it passes with the same facility as good money and cannot be detected by one person in a hundred. To give you an idea of the pride he takes in: being considered an expert forger and also of possessing a smattering of law, I will tell you of an occurrence which took place in 1869, while 1 was in charge of the prison. It was on the occasion of the Governor's annual visit. to the prison for the purpose of inquiring into those cases deserving of EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY. Knowing Canter’s disposition | suggested to him that when his turn came to appear before Governor Hoffman. he should not talk about the unconstitutionality of his incarceration, reminding him that Governor Hoffman was ‘Recorder of the city and county of New York at the time he (Cantér) was tried and sentenoed to the term of impris- onment which he was then serving, and that conso- quently the Governor was quite familiar with the law in his case, On the contrary, I advised him to base his appeal for mercy on the circumstance of his old age, his long service in the State prisons and the forlorn which he invariably introdueed when addressed by his old legal argument until asked to desist by the Governor, On my remonstrating with Canter for his obstinacy shorily afterward, he gave me to | understand that the satisfaction which he experienced | in reiterating his views to the Governor did him more good than if he had adopted my course, and thereby se- cured a reduction of tive years from his term of sen- tence, CANTER'S BUSINESS TO JAPAN, About this time Canter stated to me, among other things, that if the Governor would pardon him he woald | the country and go to Japan, as he had | liberal offer from the government d circulating of counterfeit money.” ¢ doubtless observed that Canter in his statement charges you among others with ‘irregular- ities’ while at the Leer what, if anything, do you wish to say on the subject” “T have read them in the Herarp with surprise, but, emanating trom the source they do, they are scarcely worth the troubie of beoopiry 4 I would state, however, that when Canter speaks of his failing health through excessive work in the office i September, 1869, that that was the time when he was discovered substituting FICTITIOUS COMMITMENT: reducing the terms of sentence of convicts from fifteen to twelve months. He was for that offence expelled from the office, which he was never allowed to enter again in a clerical capacity, Confinement in a dark cell and other punishments were also milicted upon him for the same offence,”? “Canter also: boldly asserts that vouchers. were manipulated during your agency at the prison.” “My answer to that is, that wpon my taking charge of the prison, January 26, 1869, the moneys drawn from the Comptroller for said months were ail expendea by D, P. Frost, bey A gh tcaprpot save the moneys due tho irs on the last day of said month, ?? je also accuses you of making a profit of $5 per bar- Tel out of a tour speculation,” “A moat ridiculous charge, and one not worth notic- ing, especially when it is recollected that $8 25 was the highest price ever paid at the prison for flour. Why, | when I took charge of the prison on January 26, 1869, there were supplies enough in the storehouse, including flour (which had'been purchased by my predecessor), to last for nearly three months, The revolt which he alludes to in regard to furnishing the convicts with in- ferior bread occurred in all threo of the prisons at the | could be desired, and the entr condition of his wife and child, One hobby of his, | Governor Hoffman, was that he was unjustly imprisoned by reason of his having been twice tried for the same olfence—a state of things which, ho always asserted, was in direct violation of the constitution, When Canter was called before the Governor he ignored my advice and launched forth into | 7 Times’ must have changed for the bet ter the ex-] clerk since Canter saw him iz 1869, as the writer, after a good deal of scrutiny, failed to discover any indications of either hunger or poverty about him yesterday. On being asked how long he had known Canter im prison, Mr. Chi.ds re “Aboat five or six years ” “What do you think of him?’’ was next remarked by the writer. 4 “My belief is that Jack is PARTLY INSANE OR PLIGHTY. Tho principal trait in his character is that he is as incorrigible liar, and possesses an inventive faculty fur concoe a tissue of lies that ts most extraordi- nary. When we found out that he had been ing money from the convicts for their sentences he stoutly persisted that he was inno- cent, and it was only after he had been severely pun- ished and placed in solitary confinement, besides be! confronted with some of those who actually him money, that he acknowledged his guilt.” A POOR AND HUNGRY MAN. “Canter intimates that you were very ‘hungry’ in 1869. What does he mean?” “I do not know, as | was not in embarrassed circum- stances when I assumed my duties at the prison, having ‘up to that time been filling a comfortable position under the United States, Canter makes another mistake when he states that I was there in January, 1869, as I did not go there until the following month.’ His alter- ing terms of sentences was commenced long before Warden Nelson and myself went to the priso but after being once caught he never was allows in the office again, What he has written is not, worth noticing, for any one who is acquainted with Cantor knows that he would not hesitate to concoct the most absurd, yet apparently reasonable, story if it could by any possibility assist him’ in’ gaining his liberty. He has spent more than. thirty years in prison and seems to have a mania for prison life. All I can. say in conclusion is that Iam ready to be ‘investi« gated’ at any time.” THE SEVENTY-FIRST.

THE SECOND DAY THE BOAT RACES SARATOGA, AT SPECIAL DESPATCHES BROOKLYNy oF same time, This SIMULTANEOUS REVOLT ‘was the means of a meeting being held in Albany at the time, at which Governor Hoffman, the three Inspectors of State Prisons and the principal officers of each of the said prisons, together with a fair representation of the Prison Association, participated. After a carcful consideration of the affair it was generally con- ceded that the action of the Legislature, which had just adjourned, in abolishing all modes of punishment th existence at the several prisons, had been mainly im. strumental in bringing obout the revolt, This conclu- sion was my theory at the time, and I so stated to the meeting, since which time I have had no cause to change my mind," “Canter also introduces the chain works under your administration and seems to say that they cover a mul- titude of sims,’? HOW ARE THE CHAIN WORKS? “To that part of his statement my answer is that my accounts are all on file in the office of the Comp- trolier and can be made to speak for them- selves at any time. I would also state here that it is well known that the ‘irregularity’ which Canter says was the cause of any removal was of a purely per- sonal character, in short it was accomplished to make room for another person, no charge having ever beon made against me. Furthermore, I was subsequently reappointed by one of the ‘samo officials who had =~ voted “for =my ‘removal And here allow mo to stato that bis vague allnsion to the Westchester Marble and Lime Company is equally absurd. I happened to be in the Legislature when the contract was revoked, and was subsequently in charge of the prison when the contract was duly and formally passed over to the State, All affairs con- | nected with. that transaction are matters of public record.” “What reputation for veracity did Canter bear when he was in the prison?” ‘ “Well, Ido not think it exaggeration to say that he was always considered THE ‘CHAMPION LIAR! among the 1,200 convicts.” Canter is now sixty years old. . He is under a sentence of ten years, Which, when served out, will leave him Ubree score and ten, He is now making one last dexpo- rate effort to get out, and to accomplish this object he | will leave no opportanity untried, ‘Tho writer also called on ex-Clerk C, C.
