He was, however, soon | i | | overtaken by the assassins, who fired two more bullets into his body. ‘They then came out into the road, and seeing a man near by chased him off, firmg several in- effectual shots at him, The murderers then took to flight. . Several unarmed persons who saw the affair | from a distance ran to the assistance of Jones, who was found weltering in blood, which poured from four | wounds, He was unable to talk and died in a few minutes, The victim of this internal butchery was a Welshman, a quiet and harmless man; ho leaves a widow and cight children; he was a Mason, The news of the murder spread like wildfire, and in a short while the whole neighborhood knew it In Tamaqua, m this county some miles this side of the spot of the murder, the ex: citement was very great, From ali the places for miles around scouting parties took to the woods and searched for the murderers, A young man who was a witness to the murder gayo a description of the murderers. Shortly before noon a farmer came into Tamaqua, and, hearing of the — mur- } der and the’ description of the — murderers, | said he had seen two men, just below Tamaqua, | who looked jaded and hot, and who corresponded to the description, A party of armed men hastened to the pla captured the men, who were subsequently positively identified by half adozen men.

Wasmixatox, Sopt. 3, 1875, The preliminary examination of Theodore W. Brown was continued this afternoon in the Police Court in this city. Two witnesses were examined, the object of the government being to connect Brown with the larceny of the $47,000 from the Treasury. Eugene G, Calkins, teller of the Commercial Bank of | Saratoga, testitied that he saw Brown on the 6th and 16th of July last at Saratoga Springs; Brown brought from the bank two drafts—one on cach of those days; | the first was for $1,000 and the second was for $2,500; they were made payable to the order of William H.

Further Particulars Regarding the Method of Specie Resumption. WORK OF THE SYNDICATE The Fractional Currency Not To Be Abolished. PRE ena POSTMASTER JEWELL'S POSITION. Wasmxorox, Sept. 3, 1875. The proposed plan for carrying inte effect the Specie Resumption act, published in this correspondence yes- terday, was ® fruittul theme of discussion and conver sation in the ‘Treasury Department gnd among the bankers whose places of business are overshadowed by the Treasury buildings, and, without exception, it bas been most heartily applauded. The details may be changed, but the basis is exactly in conformity with the intention of the Secretary of the Treasury, It is, in fact, his adaptation of the plan proposed in his annual report to Congress last December in reference to the Specie Re- sumption act passed the following January. The fact that something tangible had at last been published, and the manner in which the necessary coin was to be ac- cumulated explained, seemed to give an air of conti- dence to all who had business in the Treasurer's ofllee to-day. Secretary Bristow’s plan, suggested in his report, was for Congress to authorize him to make a loan notex- ceeding the total amount of legal tenders remaining un- converted at the time of resumption, which conversion was to be into bonds bearifig interest at a rate not ex- ceeding the lowest rate which the government might then be paying in refunding its six per cent securities, and authority was asked to make these low rate bonds security for the circulation of national banks. The Secretary “added:—Any substantial or useful movement for resumption necessarily involves supplying the Treasury with increased amounts of coin, either by increased revenues or by an adequate Joan, The prese® condition of the credit of the government, which would be further enhanced by the adoption of measures for return to a specie basis, leaves no room for doubt that a loan for such a purpose would be readily taken at a low rate of interest. Measures should also be adopted requiring the banks to hold gold re- serves preparatory to resumption on their part.”? At the time the report was written there were still anissned of tho five per cent loan nearly $140,000,000, The loan had been on the market nearly four years, and the bonds were very gradually — increasing in premium; but Congress did not, in its wisdom, follow his suggestions, but passed a plainly worded act, surrendering to him, as Mr. Sherman expressed it, tho credit and the moneys of the United States to carry into effect the provisions of that act, The time is near at hand when that discretion will be practically carried into effect, The Treasury to-day had | advices that $10,000,000 had beech taken, though the last call does not fall due until October 14. The next loan 1s $300,000,000 of four and one-half per cents, That is under tho operations of the Funding act; but under tho operations of the Specie Resumption act | there is no limitto the amount that can be gold. He can sell $400,000,000, but as Mr, Bristow will not be Secretary of the Treasury after the 4th of | March, 1877, his plans and operations will be confined to agood beginning in preparing the golden way. Since the Ist of August, 1874, the Syndicate has subscribed for $145,000,000 of five per cent bonds They were paid for mainly by called six per cent bonds and coupons, and whatever gold was paid had to be under the law immediately used in calling in a like amount of six per cent bonds and, therefore, not adding a dollar to the coiu balance. But this large funding operation has, however, been of great help to the Treasury in a way that is not generally understood. The Rothschilds, having houses in all parts of Europe, are called upon to cash the conpons and gold checks issued on registered bonds, a business which annually amounts to millions of dollars, ‘These coupons are tendered to the agent of the Treasury Department in | London in part payment of their subscription to the | five per cent loan, and an amount of gold that would otherwise be drawn from the Treasury remains in pos- session of the government, It then that either Seeretary Bristow must proceed with | the funding of the four anda half per cent loan, pro- coed to sell the four and a half per cent bonds, or suffer the most enthusiastic advocate of specie payments, To better understand this, the annual gold interest | amounts to $100,000,000. The demand for the sinking | fund this year will be $34,000,000 “in gold, the necessary sales of gold to realize currency not less than $50,000,000, and the coin expenditures for tho diplomatic corps and navy, total of $186,000,000, while | the ostimato of the Secretary for this fiscal year is only $170,000,000. Since that estimate was made, however, an increase of the tariff rates will yield, it is believed, an amount of gold that will cover the necessary gold expenditures; but that is all, The necessity, therefore, of beginning at an early day to hoard coin will be ap- parent, Your correspondent was informed to-day at tho Treasury that it was the calculation of the Syndicate to increase the premium on the five per cents to eight in gold above par, and that they would be ready as early as December 1 to take the new loan of four anda half | per cents. It Is understood the Secretary will not allow any better terms than one-fourth of one per cent commission. The Syndiente profess to be able to take one-third of the $30,000,000 the first year. Two | things are taken into consideration by the Syndicate in | subscribing to the new loan. | First—The enhanced value of our credit by beginning to carry out the specie resumption law; and | Second—The appreciation of every denomination of | United States securities by the fact that the suspension of funding will, with the exception of the six per cents called in for the sinking find, leave the old loans undis- | turbed. Every bond taken under the plan to be car- ried ont will add to the Treasury its face value in gold, | and it will be more an object than ever for the Syndi- cate to accumulate all the coupons of United States bonds held in Europe. “The substitution of the new | | aud Mr. Have meyer's steam yacht Ideal, with 100 | making slowly for the schooner. | harbor, | lower portion had settled to. the bottom ‘hopelessly | I be plainly seem | f | Harvey, which caused a trighttal’commotion, and, as it bond for the six per cont bonds held for security of the ag 8 supposed, interfere with the gold reserve for the national banks; and itis even | expected that banks will’ make liberal purchases of tho | new bonds and take out those drawing a larger interest, | The third proposition, to sell the bonds im lien of gold | for their par value in coin to the extent necessary to | obtam currency, is nothing more than a direct business | transaction, instead of selling the bonds for gold and | then selling the proceeds for currency. Nor will it be | necessary to give public notice of the sale of these bonds, They will be offered in just stich manner as the | Secretary may be disposed, .The matter will be laid before the President in a few days, and it was inti- mated to-day that his annual Message to Congress will announce that the Specie Resumption act is being ear. ried into effect not only in regard to the coining of sil- ver but the accumulation of gold. The retirement of national’ bank notes will be acceler- ated, and, in the opinion of the United Statés Treasurer, many of tho banks having lerge circulation will gradually return it, deposit the legal tenders now ro- qnired for their redemption, and bank on their United States bonds. In regard to silver, the opinion is now helt in official circles that it is a mistake to do away with fractional currency, It is not regarded as probablo that Congress could be induced to amend the bill in any form, and to bring it before the House would be toridile | it with criticisins and amondmonts, The administra: | tion, therefore, proposes to make the most of the best measure they have, POSTMASTER JEWELL AND HIS ENFMTES. The independent course of the Postinaster General in his management of the business of his department has displeased a number of Southern politicians, who ac- cuse Mr, Jewell of not consulting the welfare of the re- | publican party. | ‘They have visited the President with their complaints, | and not only at Long Branch, but here in Washington, from officials in high position, the report has come that the days of Postmaster General Jewell are numbered, and the demand for his removal will be complied with, The attention of Mr, Jewell was to-day called | leaving the government vessel to return in peace to | ner in the to these reports, and, withont hesitation, he said that nothing would please him better than to know that the President desired to give the position to somebody else, for he did not care how soon he left the Cabinet, In accepting the position of Minister to Russia he was prompted by a desire to See the country and live among the people whose friend. ship for the.United States was more sincere than that of any other European nation. A year’s residence in that country gratified his curiosity, and the President re- questing him to be Mr, Creswell’s snecessor gave him an admirable opportunity of retiring from St. P burg and entering the Cabinet. A year’s experience in the Post Office Department had satisfied all his longings for official life. He was at the time carrying on a large business, employing 1,000 men, yet during his term of office he had neglected that to discharge the duties of Postmaster General, and it was about time for him to take care of his own affairs, While he remained in of- fice he should, regardless of the complaints of disap- pointed office-seekers and selfish politicians, endeavor to acquit himself with credit and profit to the country, Should it appear to the President expedient to make a change it world merit his cordial approbation and not diminish in the slightest degree the friendship existing between the President and himseif. When the Presi- dent was ready ‘to name his successor he would be ready to welcome him to the office with all the good will his heart could express; but it was not his purpose to step down and out to gratify the whims of a pumer- ous body of chronic fault-finders, THE TORPEDO EXPERIMENTS, SRE ee EN END OF THE EXHIBITION AT NEWPORT, R. I.— MORE NOISE AND GREATER DESTRUCTION, TO THE GREAT DELIGHT OF THE LADIES. Newrorr, R, 1, Sept. 8, 1875, The concluding portion of the experiments off Goat Island to-day were as successful as those of yesterday. Everything was under the immediate control of the Secretary of the Navy, but Captain Breese gave the general orders for the evolutions. The programmo was, first, for Admiral Porter's iron-clad_ torpedo boat, under command of Lieutenant Barbour, to blow up an old coast survey schooner of about 100 tons by means of a submerged torpedo on the end of the prow of the Alarm; then to riddle the wreck by means of the Gatling guns mounted on the rail of the Alarm and to prevent the imaginary foes from climbing on board, After this it’ was intended that tho Nina should heaye alongside and with a Harvey torpedo demolish what might remain, Then there was to havo been a naval battle between the Nina and the schooner | Joseph Henry, but the ind dropped so completely that the schooner had to cast her anchor, for without wind it was useless to expect that she should “function” with the steamer, Commandant Breese and Secrotary Robe- son ‘had invited a large number of guests on board the United States steamer Despateh. TUR GUESTS. Among those responding to Mr. Robeson’s invitation were General Banks, Generat Burnside, General R. B, Porter, General Hunt, Rear Admiral Case, Commodore Gore Jones, Royal Navy; Major Randolph, General * Warren, Aristarchi Bey, the Tutkish Minister, with his secretary, R.

Snelling, R. 8. Honeand Charles H. Russell, of New York; J. Smith Bryce, Lientenant Merrill and Mrs, Merrill, Norman Wiard and many others, in ail about 120. ‘As soon as all were on board the Despatch got under way and steamed round to the west side of the island off Fort Adams, Here wero the Alarm, tho Nina, other small craft, awaiting the commencement of the experiments. The Despatch passed the Alarm off the fort, but the signal officer soon informed her that she should get ready to blow up the old hulk which was lying quietly at anchor about half a mile from the shore. The Alarm then turned almost as* easily as though she had been upon a pivot, and made for the object of attack, The old hulk was about 100 feot long, and had a tonnage of cighty-flve tons. All eyes wete turned toward the Alarm, whose massive prow, armed with a seventy-flve pound torpedo, was Slower and slower she went, approaching the hulk as though certain estruction awaited her, but in a few seconds a volw or was hurled into the air some two hw with spars and timbers, began to tall —pell-mell into the like the descending sparks of a | spent ‘sky-rocket.

The Alarm was enveloped in smoke, Still the thunder of the Gatlings reverberated from the neighboring hills until the last struggling | wretch was supposed to have been sent to his eternal | rest beneath the waters of the harbor. | THE SMOKE CLEARS AWAY, | Before the smoke had cleared away up came the Nina | to the re and betore the schooner's débris had | fairly been scattered by the tide,she hurled against it a was supposed, put an end forever to the enemy. | Now the Despatch’ turned round and came close alongside to view the wreck, and while so doing another spar tor- pelo was exploded by the Nina as a warning not to ap- | ch too close. Signals were then exchanged with tho | ‘Shail I send boat?” To which an atlirm- y Was sent, and soon after Admiral Porter his boat to the Despatch. Scarcely had he been received when the Alarm an nounced that she was going to fire another round of Gatlings. She did so, and a most awful tintamarre she create, as though the Despatch was her most terrible enemy. Of course this was a delightful experience for the ladies, who had been thus brought within view of what might have been a fearful naval carnage. Searcely had they vered from their surprise, when Commander Bar- | r gave them a thorough shaking up. He ran out he submerged iron spar of the Alarm a genuine old nty-live pounder (beneath the water and quite un- en by, the visitors on the Despatch of course). On the starboard side he ran out a fifty, and on the port side a twenty-five pound torpedo. Gradually the Despatch grew nearcr and nearer, and, like an unsuspecting vie- | tim, was right on the ram, when three huge columns | of water flew up in front and on either side of the | Alarm, followed by a terrible concussion, showing that the threo had been exploded at almost the same in- | stant. The Despatch quite staggered under the attack; | but the Alarm was deluged by these three mverted | spouts, for the water ran out of her afterward as gh she had just returned from a visit to Neptune.

Mr. Barry Sullivan appeared at Booth’s Theatre last night as R A IIL, this being the third of his series of impersonations during bis present short engago+ ment. Notwithstanding the great heat of the day and evening the house was crowded, and the satisfaction of the audience was even greater than on the 0G casions of Mr. Sullivan's previous appearances, The tragedian’s acting, too, was better sustained ag a whole than either in “Hamlet” or “Richeheu,’? and his art was seen to greater advantage than in the othet parts, American play goers insist upon grace approach, ing to effeminacy as the embodiment of the intellectual attributes of the Danish Prince, and this ideal is bettes realized by Mr. Booth than by any actor now on thé Stage. In “Richelieu” too, to the American, he ex: hibits a studied art with which his English rival cannot successfully compete, Mr. Booth’s acting is strongest when it is mos graceful; but what Mr. Sullivan gains in grace he loses in vigor, Mr. Booth, on the other hand, fails utterly when he has to deal with the vigofus in art. The twe tragedians are opposites in temperament as well as in their dramatic ideals, and it is not remarkable, there fore, that where the one best succeeds the other is ai his worst, [tis very Jike an intellectual impossibility that the same artist should play the three parts ta which Mr. Sullivan has appeared equally well, him unequal to Booth in the first two, we are equally sure he is greatly Mr, Booth’s superior in the Inst. “Indeed, he is the only Richard now on the stage who realizes the breadth of ernel and crafty ambition which made up the character of the deformed prince and king. In every word, in every look and In overy goature, from "the beginning tg the end of ‘the play, ho is the Richa Shakéspearo drow with’ such hasroen Bs skill that a greatness almost ax great as the poet’s is n sary to the embodiment of the part. Vigor and sub- tlety are the two elements requisite to the creation, and it is in their rare combination that Mr Sullivan excels, The light and shade whieh seomed wanting in the other characters in which he has appeared are boldly exhibited in this, and his acting as Richard hag a completeness and Onish that we were hardly prepared to accord tg him, He does nothing carolessly nor bur: riedly, andhe never quits the stage without leaving the | impress of his genius behind him, His performance, too, in this part is singularly free from mannerisms, and in many respects his acting possesses a crispnest more characteristic of the modern stage than dramatic tradition, and which is exceedingly delicious even in a Shakespearian tragedy, It would have been a mistake even in 60 short an engagement as Mr. Sullivan is now playing at Booth’s had he failed to give us his mterpretation of this ‘t, and the applause and satisfaction with whiel it was greeted are to be taken as the popular verdict its excellence. At the close. of every act Mr. Sullivan was calied before the curtain, and after the battle at the. end of the tragedy and the hand to hand encoan< ter with the Earl of Richmond, in which the King fell, the enthusiasm became an ovation, GRAND OPERA HOUSE—RICHARD IT. Mr. E. Ll. Davenport, inaccordance with the peculiag: managerical system that governs at present the former home of Fisk, and which looks only toward copying the bills of a rival theatre on the same street, appeared last night as Richard 11, Notwithstanding the long ex- perience in every walk of the drama and the finished art which Mr. Davenport brings on the stage in many of hig impersonations, we are compelled to say that such a rola as that of Richard ILL. is entirely outof his reach, and that his impersonation of it last evening was dreary, in- effective and conventional to the last degree. In the last act, particularly, where a great deal of passion and vocal power might be expected, Mr. Davenport was un usually tame, It might have been on account of the poor cast and the. poorer scenery, Bosworth feld ‘wus represented by tropical foliage which once did ser. vice im “Lalla Rookh,”’ and the tents were moro Ara- bian than Engl Richard fonght his last ducl in a heavy overcoat lined with ermine, something that neves. could be said of Plantagenet or Tudor on the Metd of battle, DRAMATIC NOTES.
