AN OPINION FROM THE CORPORATION COUNSEL ON CANVASSING MARINE COURT JUSTICES’ BALLOTS—PROTESTS AGAINST THE ALDERMEN AND TIMOTHY J, CAMPBELL, The Aldermen, sitting as County Canvassers, con- tinued the counting of the returns yesterday. They commenced proceedings at eleven o'clock, when the following opinion of the Corporation Counsel wag handed in as to the protest on canvassing votes for winers, The expedition left Fort Laramio May 25, and «euched the southern base of the Black Hills June 3, after a march of about 135 miles, and camped upon the east fork of Beaver Creek, when the work of explor- ing the Hills was immediately entered into and contin- ‘ued unceasingly until the return of the expedition to Fort Laramie, October bag Bro Cpa Oren months. The Black Hills of Daxota are tween the two forks of the Cheyenne Riverand occupy an area included between the 103d and 105th meridians of longitude and the forty-third and forty-fitth parallels of latitude; they extend about 100 miles ina northerly direction with a breadth of from forty to sixty miles. The 104th merid. + fan, which is the boundary between Wyoming and Da- kota, passes through the central portion of the Hills, leaving the greater area in the Territory of Dakota, Without entering into details regarding the manner of working or of the incidents in the history of the ex- pedition—how, on reaching the Hills, I found miners prospecting on French Creek; how, after a month’s work, gold was found in paying quantities on Earle and Rapid ereeks; how thé miners poured by hundreds into the Hills, and, accompanying me, gave me great assistance in prospeéting the country—I will briefly state such results of the work as will tend to throw ght ‘on the probable future value of the region, hat portion of the Black Hills which may be desig- nated as Harney’s Peak gold fleld is almost wholly in Dakota, and extends about filty miles north and south, with/an average breadth of nearly twenty miles, cover- ing fn area of not less than square miles, The valnable gold deposits, however, are found in the val- ys of the streams which drain that area, the gold jing derived from the disintegration of the quartz iges, which are very numerous in the rocks of that jon. ‘he most extensive and valuable deposits of aurifer- ous gravel discovered during the past season were in the valleys of Boring and Rapid Creeks and their tributaries, where, in almost every case, the vel bars are very advantageously situated for work- oe and many natural circumstances contribute materially to the profitable extracting of the gold which they contain. Timber of suitable size and quantity for the construction of flumes and ices is apundant; the water supply is in most localities ample, and the fall of the streams sufliciently great to enable the water to bo readily carried above the level of even the more elevated bars and deposits of gravel. ‘While as yet there have been discovered in the Black Hills no deposits of gravel sufficiently rich in gold to be profitably worked in the primitive manner with pan or one yet there are many bars in the Harney’s Peak ficld, especially upon Spring Creek, the forks of Castle and Rapid creeks and the valleys of those moun- tain streams, which, when skilfully worked by gangs of miners with sluices, will yield a good return for, the labor employed and tho moderate capital required to be invested, But little could be done in a single season in prospecting the numerous seggregated quartz veins of this regivn, some of which undoubtedly contain gold. Ihave procured abundant samples for testing their value by assay. The Bear Lodge gold field, situated on the extreme northwestern portion of the Hills, is wholly in Wyom- ing, and entirely separated from the Harney Peak Tegion. It does not'exceed fifty square miles in area, ‘The gold deposits are small compared with those on Rapid Creek, and are remarkable for the absence of Feria in th@gravel, the gold being derived from tho isintegration of feldspar, porphyry-carrying, irregular masses of fron, and manganese ores. It is difficult to determine the agricultural resources or climate of the Black Hills by the observations of a single season, especially as I could gain but Jittle in- formation respecting the severity of the winters or the prevalence of early and late frosts. The Black Hills rise like an island from an, ocean of grass covered and treeless plains, watered’ by occasional and scanty supplies of rain, and the winds in passing over these plains gather some moisture, which they part with ag rain on being chilled by contact with the colder and more elevated region of the central portions of the hills, The result of this is the prevalence of frequent though not heavy rain falls, giving to the hills a most peculiar climate. There is scarcely a day from May to August without one er two showers; yet, owing to the dryness of the atmosphere, the climate was found to be very healthy. During the past season, after August 1, very little rain was experienced, and some of the smaller streams contained water only in pools. That this remarkable rain fall, in a region where the aver- age fall does not exceed ten inches for the whole year, was not the exhibition of a pecaliarly wet season, is, f can only judge by observation on the growth of the plants and trees. The ce of trees and the coarseness of their grain, as well as the growth of plants on dry hilisides exposed to both sun and wind, tend to show that the season which I witnessed was by mo means a very anomalous one, though the amount of rain may have been somewhat greater than usual, ‘The area of land suitable for caltivation is, from the mountainous character of the region, limited, as com- pared to the vast area embraced in the hills, but the Boil along the streams and in most pf the valleys is deep and fertile and will be sufficieyt for the require- ments of the population which the ‘hills will support as a stock raising community. I should judge from the obsorvations which I had the opportunity to make that at loast one-twentieth of the 8,000 square miles em- braced in the Black Hills may be fuirly described as arabie land, and that among these lands lying near the streams and continuous through the hilly country are large tracts of land forming the slopes of the hillsides, which, while not arable, will afford fine grazing, thus largely enhancing the value of lands to which they aro contiguous. b » Among the rocky areas of the Harney’s Peak range and io the northern portion of the bills there are re- fons where the grasses are comparatively Wanting; ut generally throughout the whole area of the hilis a luxuriant growth of the finest grasses is to be found, even , covering the ground under the shade’ of the pine trees — upon the elevated divides between the streams. The abun- dance and ino quality of thagrasses and the shelter afforded to stock by tho densely timbered slopes and deep valleys will make it a region woll adapted to stock Taising purposes. ‘The timber of the bills is a variety of pine known as yellow or heavy pine, The grain of the wood is straight, rather coarse, splitting readily, and, where the trees have escaped the action of fires’ and violent gales, good straight logs, tree from knots and from forty to sixty feet in length and from twelve to twenty-four inches in | diameter, cap be obtained in abundance. Spruce of good quality is found among the canyons in the interior, and white birch, oak and elm, of medium size, among the hills on the eastern slope. ‘The water throughout the hills is excellent in quaty, mostly derived from springs among the limestone or the granite or the schistose rock; only in localities among tho foot hills is it contaminated by alkali, There was no evidence found that the Indians evor lived in the hills or ever visited them, except in the Spring to cut lodge poles or occasionally stop and hunt deer among tho foot hills while passing from the agencies to the Upper Missouri. The only reason ad- vanced for the cause of their not living in the hills is the prevalence of severe thunder storms and the fre- quency of trees being struck by lightning. a» In lye tothe work done by the survey I may State that the whole area between the forks of the bo so bod ae Sonn the course of both theso reams, has been carefully mapped by the topog- Fapher, V. J. MoGillycuddy, who hus also. located the position of the important peaks tn the hills and mapped the course of the different mountain ranges and Streams: In this work he has been assisted by the as- tronomer, Captain H. P. Tuttle, who has whorever cticable, determined the latitude and longitude of more important points, The scientific goology of the hills has been most carefully and thoroughly worked up by tho geologist, Mr. Henry Newton, while to my- self and the practical minors was allotted the work of prospecting for gold and determining the mineral re- sources of the country. In conclusion, I wouid beg to submit for your consid: eration the following plan, subject, however, to futuro | addition, for a final repo: she work accomplished by the expedition. In addition to the small map which accompanies this report Dr. MeGillycuddy, tho topographer, pi poses for the final report threo maps, more complete ‘and accurate—namely, a trail map of the rontes trav- elled by the yong to, through and returning from the hills; two larger maps of the Black Hills, one en hachure, for general distribution, and one in contour for illustrating in colors the areas occupied by the different geological formations and showing the posi- tion of the gold fields, s In order to make the final report as completé as pos- sible it is proposed to discuss the work of the expedi- tion in the following order :— ‘st—Historical To contain brief notices of pre- vfous surveys in this region. the origin of the present survey and the methods of exploration pursued. ‘Second—Topography of the Black Hills; their geo. @taphical structure, Third—Geology.

Rofer- ence is then made to chapter 582 of the Laws of 1870, by which the number of judges of the Marine Court was increased to six, the term of office was made six bor and the election of the three justices was fixed for the third Tuesday of May, 1870, but ne provision was made for the election or appoiptment of their successor. With regard to the very serious questions raised by this communication, I have to say that it is not im my* judgment pertinent for you to consider them at this lime. Tho duty of the Board of County Canvassers, at ,the present stage, at least, of your proceedings is min- forthe ‘That duty consists im the counting of the lots which have been deposited, This opinion is upported §=by a num- ber of judicial decisions in this and other States, and I cannot do better than to quote the authority of Judge Harris in @ case analogous to the ‘All that is now required is that the Common Council shall canvass the returns and determine and declare the result, This, too, is a minis- terial act. The Common Council are jndges of nothing. They are not at liberty to receive evidence of anything outside of the returns themselves. Their duty con- sists in a simple matter of arithmetic,” 4 Itis, therefore, my opinion that your official re- sponsibility at this stage of tne proceedings does not extend to the decision of any questions such as are raised by the protest of Mr. Coleman, which has been referred to me. When the canvass shall have been completed, and the Board, acting under the authority conterred upon them by the Revised Statutes, shall proceed to determine what person or persons havo been ‘duly elected” to the various offices, the question may be more properly raised, and before that time I will give the question furtber attention, and suggest such consideration as shall seem to mo to determine the functions of your Board. Iam, gentlemen, Rely respectfully, WILLIAM C. WHITNEY, Counsel to the Corporation. ‘The canvass was then regularly proceeded with, The conclusion of the First Assembly district count gave Jobn Callahan a majority over Dennis Quinn of sixty- eight votes for Civil Justice of the First district, A MUDDLE AS TO ALDRRMEN AND ASSISTANT ALDERMEN. Mr. W. 8. Wolfe, a lawyer of this city, put in aver- bal protest against counting the ballots for Aldermen, ashe claims that fifteen should have been elected at large, in accordance with the charter of 1870, the pres- ent method of selection being unconstitutional. Ho also asserts that twenty-one Assistant Aldermen should have been chosen at the recent election, A similar protest was put in last year as to the ast named officials. The only votes canvassed yesterday for the offices wére those cast in the Fifth Election district of the First Assembly district. CIVIL JUSTICE CAMPBELL’S BEAT CONTESTED. A protest was also put in aguinst the election of Mr. Timothy J. Campbell to the Civil Justiceship of the Sixth district on the ground that he was not admitted to the Bar at the time of his election. The Board con- cluded to proceed with the canvass in this district, not- withstanding the protest, in accordance with the opin- fon of Corporation Counsel Whitney, The First, Second, Third and Fourth Assembly dis- tricts were comptetcd. The canvass will be continued at eleven o’cl to-day. . MR. HEWITT AND UNIVERSAL SUF- FRAGE. EXPLANATION OF HIS SPEECH AT TAMMANY HALL, New Yor, Nov. 11, 1875. To tux Eprror oy tas Heratp:— L observe that the Herap and the World havesome discussion as to tho meaning of certain remarks which I made to the Democratic General Committee at its last meeting. Perbaps my position will be better under- stood if I say that in using the words ‘Tammany Hall” and the words ‘democratic organization” as inter- changeable terms I merely adopted the popular phrase. ology, but did not intend thereby to imply that there is any necessary or indissoluble connection between the building known as Tammany Hall, or the society which owns it, and the democratic party. On the contrary, it is perfectly competent for the Democratic General Committee, of which I have the honor to be chairman, to change the place of its meetings by a simple chango in its bylaws; and it is not in the power of the Tam- many Society, of which I am an old member, either to constrain the action of the General Com- mittee or to supply its place by the organization of any other committee representing the democratic party. The connection of the democratic party in this city with Tammany Hall is, so far as I know, simply a matter of convenience and usage; and since I have re- sumed my connection with the Tammany Society it has not‘attempted to control or influence in any way the action of the General Committee, whatever it may have done in the past. * In conclusion, let me briefly say that I have not lost my faith im universal suffrage, even in the government of cities It certainly has its drawbacks, bat I know of no = system which does not develop greater defects, So far as municipal government is concerned, universal suffrage is stmply on trial That the “Ring system” should bave been developed under {t and have main. . tained itself for a time is certainly an argument against universal suffrage, answered, however, by the fact that it was found adequate to overthrow the Ring and drive its members into exile or lodge them in jail, What.I intended to say, and I regret it 1 did not succeed in making my meaning clearer, was that my faith in uni- versal suffrage in the goyerment of this city would be greatly shaken if the wealthy and educated classes, instead of co-operating steadily with the democratic organization so long as it was honestly striving $o establish good government, should, whenever the occasion might offer, prefer to ally themselves, as it seemed to me they did in ‘the late election, with disreputable candidates in ordor to gain a tem- porary political advantage over an organization which had only weakened itself by discarding, In deference to public opinion, these very candidates from its midst. nhough Ido not believe that such combinations will often be mado, novertheless | felt justified in sounding the note of alarm as to their danger, andI see no reason to change the opinion that their recurrence will so weaken the power of disinterested and patriotic leaders in the party organizations as necessarily to lead to @ modification of our theory of government, 80 far as large cities are concerned. To infer, howevor, that I regard Tammany Hall or the Tammany Society as essential to the continuance of free government in this city is @ great misconception of my meaning and opinion. cratic party simply as a useful agency, when honestly directed, for securing a good municipal government, and therefore onl; ‘ontitied to the coniidence and sup- port of the public. When Tammany Hall fails to be thus honestly directed I shall not hesitate to abandon and denounce it, asI have herotofore done. But it seems to me very tinwise to throw aside and condémn any agency which 1s doin, work merely because it is hable'to abuse in bad ands, There are but few humaa institutions, not even the most venerable, that would not have to be discarded by society under the application of this Respec piri tomas s atewirr, TAMMANY HALL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE, A committee of conference appointed to Investigate the causes of the recent defeat of the Tammany Hall ticket in certain districts as wall ag to take moasures for securing greater strength and unanimity in the future, met yesterday afternoon at tho office of Judge Gross, in Chambers street, Some ward politicians who wore desirous of ascertaining the result of the caucus gathered at intervals before tho building, but a the session lasted some time thes desultory seokers of peg hacer nape their patience and retired to await developments, Representatives of various ward committees attended the meeting, and statements were made by them with regard to the probable causes of certain candidates having fail to poll a larger vote, Statistics were compared and arguments were adduced to explain the discrepancies in the re- turns of this year, Special care was taken to inquire into the reasons of Fox’s ranning below his ticket in many wards comprised In the Fourth Senatorial dis trict. A satisfactory result appears to have been ar- rived at in every instance, and members of the General Committee whose loyalty has been questioned have ,| succeeded in exculpating themselves of any charges that might be brought against them touching their fealty to the party, Plans of organization for the fu- tare were also discussed, and suggestions were re- ceived from the heads of districts regarding the expe- diency of retaining the present representatives of tho party among the peoplo. THE IRISH VOTE IN PENNSYLVANIA. VATHER J. V. M'NAMARA AND THE RECENT ELECTION—HIS NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE HARTRANFT PARTY—CHARGES AND COUNTER- CHARGES AS TO THE ‘‘MOLLY MAGUIRES.” Prrrston, Nov. 9, 1875. The smoke of the contest having cleared away, the politicians in this locality aro indulging in curses and congratulations—the defeated in the former and the victorious in the latter. The result in Luzerne county, so far asthe vote for Hartranft was concerned, sur- prised almost everybody, as it required very little cir- cumspection to see that a large proportion of the Irish vote, usually democratic, was cast in the interest of Hartranft personally. Prior to the election such an issue was prophesied by afew, who pretended to know how matters were going to run, and some of the news- papers in this county opposed to Hartranft’s election warned the people of the existence of certain influences which had been bought up in his favor. Of course these rumors and reports were taken at the time for what they were worth, ana nobody in- dulged in any very serious reflections concerning them. But since the elections there has been a great deal of inquiry aroused and not a little excitement raised in regard to these elements of influence which aided in the reinstalment of Governor Hartranft for a second term, And this excitement is not confined alone to the democratic ranks, but permeates through the circles of the opposition, especially those opposed to class or, In other words, to creed rule. They see in the recent wholesale alliance made by men who have always openly opposed the republican party and Hart- ranft something which ftends to create alarm for in- terests more distinctly local with which they have much to do. Many of the quiet republican voters who are not politicians are free to admit that the precedent established by Hartran{t, as prophesied and subse- quently proven in the elegtions, regu: the purchase of the * Maguires” and other kindred organiza- tions which have an existence here, is a mest danger- ous one, which threatens the good order and discipline of the whole of the anthracite region. While the more soberminded have indulged in woful ‘speculations, active minds have ¢ in ferreting out the system by which the influence of the organiza- tiogg referred to was secured. Of course, it is almost impossible to fasten at present the matter on any certain foundation, but the actions of a few leading men in this locality’ prior to the election give a partial clew as to what agencies were introduced to work upon the minds of the Irish voters. First and foremost, then, the appearance in our midst some days before the election of the iamous Father J. ‘V. McNamara—he who has figured so conspicuously in the columns of the Heraup, and who is ared hot enthusiastic Communist of the worst,tor best, kind— has set many to thinking that he had something to do with the business, Certain itis that he has been in. high favor with the Ancient Order of Hibernians here, who areas thick as peas ina pod, and that he has beon actively seers in enlisting sympathy for the order known as the United Irishmen Redivivi, a branch of which was formed here some time ago. That this same McNamara has influence here cannot be de- nied, and the fact that a day or two before election he was seen in earnest conversation witn a few of Hart- ranft’s ablest emissaries leads to the conviction that the reverend father (?) had something to do with the business of enlisting soldiers for the Governor as well as for the Emerald Isle. At any rate he had made him- self 60 obnoxious to the venerable fathers in this place, who are much beloved by their parishioners, that on Sunday week Very Rey. John Finan, ot this place, who will succeed Bishop O’Hara in this diocese—a man of superior intelligence, deep piety and lofty purposes— took occasion to publicly anathematize the labors of McNamara in very strong language. His name was not mentioned, but everybody knew who it was that the reverend father meant to hit. Of course McNamara heard of this, and ho straight- way sent a lengthy communication to the Scranton Republic in which he belabored Father Finan most unmercifally for what he (McNamara) termed “an un- charitable and unchristian attack upon him person- ally, and upon the principles of Irish patriotism, which he vindicated in his writings apd through the means of Irish associations.” He went on to speak of how he had defended the principles of certain Irish as- sociations ‘‘calculated to elevate his countrymen above the slavish dictation to which certain sanctimonious teachors would subject them.”” He stated that he bad already incurred the wrath and the enemity of niore than one priest and bishop for the fearless manner in which he had exposed the presumption of shose who imagine that Inshmen have no higher duty than to bow in abject submission before the human gods who almost claim their adoration, and he was not preperet to suffer in silence the denunciations of even a “‘cleri- cal magnate in the coal fields of Pennsylvania.” He spread himself in a lengthy laudation of Irishmen who are connected with the associations of which he paleongrs o tho able exponent. Hoe assumed that these men looked to him as their natural protector against the ‘“‘unchristian attacks hurled against them from the altar,” and if it should cost him his “very life, he was in ‘duty bound to repel the outrage of- ered them.” Ho went on in this strain through several paragraphs, in which he said he had come to Pittston on his own business, and he warned Father Finan and other priests not to interfere with him nor “with the noble purposes to which patriotic Irishmen have sworn the allegiance of their souls.” Before concluding he strikes the keynote of what has excited comment here since the election, to wit:—‘'l will undertake to show both them and you (the, priests) that in what regards their political and patriotic rights Imshmen Will not suffer in America or in Ireland.” He concludes his epistle by a dirty fling at Father Finan’s personal an- tecedents, , Inthe publication of this letter, certainly, McNamara allowed his enthusiasm to override his judgment, for in mmunity so large and so loyal to the Church as this is its U patepe was followed with a certain degree of disgust, which augured ill for the success and inflnenco of the writer. This was shown in the attendance ata lecture which McNamara delivered here a few evenings after the appearance of his epistle. The bi good sized one, but scarcely a corporal’s Present to hear what the speaker had to say about the ‘Unity of the Irish Race.” Last night the lecturer re- peated his theme in Scranton, and bat few turned out to hear him. McNamara still makes his headquarters in this place. Ho is laboring among the Irishmen with all his might, but the better class will not be approached by him. They regard him as a mad enthusiast. Whether he had any hand in our elections recently is not as'yet positively ascertained, but that he was hand in glove with the stoutest Hartranft workers before election is weil known, and because most of the ‘associations’ voted for Hartranft to a man excites comment. It was for a long time currently hig Bhd that all the “Molly Maguires” in this section, Lehigh and Schuyl- kill counties, would vote for Hartranft. And the re- sult shows they did so. In itself this would not make any particular difference in matters here, but there are those in our locality, wise men and experienced, who do not like to think that one or two men here, enthusiasts irke McNamara, for instance, can dictato to such powerfol organizations as oxist in our midst. ‘Tho consoquences in other respects than those merély political may be serious, and tho futare alone can re- veal them, i CENTENARIANS IN JERSEY.

THE GREATEST HANDICAP OF THE YEAR DECIDED—GOSSIP ABOUT TURFMEN AND HORSES—SALE OF SIR THOMAS LENNARD'S HUNTING 8TUD—A VISIT TO BIS RESIDENCE, Lonpox, Oct, 27, 1875 ‘The racing season is rapidly drawing toa close. The last of the autumn meetings at “hoad quarters,” as Newmarket is called, was commenced on Monday, and yesterday the Cambridgeshire, the greatest handicap of the year, was decided. The victor was bay colt Sutton. Within the last week or two several interesting events have happened in connection with the turf in England, A day or two ago I, at the invitation of Sir Thomas Len- nard, visited bis quaint old residence of Belhus and in- spected his stud of hunters, which he was about to offer for sale, I was received in the kindest manner by Sir ‘Thomas and Lady Lennard. Her ladyship told me that if I would promise to be good she would ,show me tho rare old curiosities and other objects of interest with which the place abounds, ‘Ah! all you gentlemen seem to be attracted by that picture,” she said as she saw me gazing earnestly at a beautiful face, evidently a Iely. “That lady was not vory respectable, but an an- cestor of Sir Thomas’ married ner daughter, It was then thought a great match. The lady you see there is the Duchess of Cleveland, who you know was the great favorite of Charles II. ‘Nota very respectable ances- tor you will perhaps think,” continued Lady Lennard to rattle on pleasantly. “But what do you think of us in the male line? That head there is the portrait of Lord Dacre, the last peer who was hanged. Ho went out poaching in the royal forests and Henry VIII. did not like it.” After leaving the luncheon table I looked around tho beautiful old hall, hung around with armor that from the dents looked as if it had seen service. Somé of it, as well as the pikes, had been worn by men who were under the command of the great King Maker, during the wars of the roses, four hundred years age, but a8 a rule it belonged to the time of Cromwell. ‘Be sure, after you have seen the horses, that you come in to five o'clock tea, and I will show you arelic that, if you are a true cavalier, you will rever- ence,” said the fair hostess, It is hardly necessary to say that I complied with this invitation, Tea was handed around in the great drawing room, a largo wain- scoted apartment, with polished dark oak floor. The bay window looked on to a beautiful avenue of trees, well populated with rooks that seemed to be cawing their evening hymns, Tho softened twilight seemed in thorough harmony with the room, and as now and then a flicker from the wood fire in the grate cast its fitful hght on the portrait of some grim old ances- tor I seemed to be carried back to the Middie Ages, and I was almost pondering whether I should draw my sword for Charles or join with Hampden in refusing to pay the ship money, when I was startled from my, rev- erie by Lady Lennard putting into my hands a small casket and saying, “What would not Mr. Irving give to see this?” I opened it and saw a curl of chestnut hair, clasped in a setting of gold. “Thatis a lock of tho hair ot CHARLES 1 It was presented by the Duchess of Cleveland to Lady Dacre, and it was discovered, as you now see it, ina secret drawer in a cabinet, with a letter verifying it. Ab, 1 thought it would interest you!” Belhus is very near Tilbury Fort, and on the night Pefore Queen Eliza- beth reviewed her army sho slept here. Tho bed sho used is still preserved, with the hangings and every- thing complete. Lady Lennard is a daughter of the late Lord Chancellor, and she is one of the best ama- teur actresses in England. Amateur theatricals alone, Thear, cost Sir Thomas upward of £3,000. year. The reason of my visit to Belhus was to see the celo- brated American mare, called Annette, that Mr. Ten Broeck brought to England several years ago, She was purchased for 110 guineas, she at the time being in foal to Scotush’ Chief, For this foal 500 guineas were now realized, and if it goes on all right the purchaser wil! next year make cent per cent on his outlay, There was a heavy reserve on Annette, which was the reason why she was not sold. ‘This reserve, however, would have been given but for the fact that sho is now in foal to a worthless sire and the mare is getting ol. Lady Mostyn, her daughter, has not done so well this autumn, and I'am afraid that there isnot a great three-year-old career before her. I saw her run at Newtarket at the last meeting, and thére was a fidgetiness about her that I consider a bad sign, ‘The prices that Sir Thomas Lennard obtained for his hunters were marvellous, showing an average of nearly 180 guineas each. They were only a second class lot. There were, however, plenty of buyers pres- ent, and’the Duke of Beaufort unexpectedly put in an appearance with his famous coach, which he “tooled”* down from London. His Grace bought one of the lots, and as Mr. Tattersall received the bid he said, “For the gentleman on the coach; I cannot seo who it 1: whereupon the Duke stood up, and taking off his bowed blandly to the great auctioneer, to whom poi haps the Duke wag betier known than to any one else ‘on the ground, Anotoer it sale was that of Lord Aylesford’s—a sale in whic! ood many of the gentlemen who have gone out to [i re interested. {n the early part of the year Lord esford purchased Captain Macholl’s stud, and a most disastrous purchase it was. The price was £28,000, for which bills were given, These bills 4 ort time ago and there was no money to meet them. The result was that the horses were sold without reserve and they fetched very httle more than £10,000, One of the lot was Claremont, a big, good looking Biair Athol colt, but with no legs.’ When this colt was a yearling there was, on the day he was sold, an Australian—poor fellow, he is since dead—who was bidding ina rather bombastic manner, Immediately emont was led into the ring this gentleman said thousand guineas,’ and looked round for the applause. ‘’Bwo thousand,” said Captain Machell quietly from a drag on the other side of the ring. “No advance on 2,000,” said Mr. Tattersall in- quiringly and down went the hammer. The sale did not take a quarter of a minute. The horse has never won & race, nor 1s he likely to win one now. When in the Derby be dashed up to Galopin. He looked for a moment like winning the £50,000 for which he had been backed, but unfortunately Galopin was in the Jead and Claremont finished second. If he had won ho would bo now “dickey,” and worth, at the very least, 5,000 guineas. As it is he was sold for 700 guineas. After the Derby there were rumors that his real owner was THE PRINCE OF WALES, and though they were authoritatively contradicted I believe that they were true. Before Goodwood there was, know, a large amount of money owing on ac- count of Lord Aylesford, all of which was paid, and people wondered whore ‘the money came from.’ The ighest priced lot in Lord Aylesford's was Julius Cwsar, a great, sound, good looking two-year-old, that has run with only moderate success, He, however, fetched the large sum of 3,300 Gon Many sportsmen were desirous of buying vat ut to them was opposed the enormous wealth of the Duke of Westminster, whose jncome is nearly half a million pounds sterling perannum. His Grace, whois mach opposed to bet- ting, is “going in” for racing heart and soul, and if after tho prices he has paid he does not soon win tho Derby, he will beavery unlucky man. The yoarling colt by Blair Athol, out of Southern Cross, was bought by Lord Rosebery’ for 1,800 guineas; Lord Aylesford gavo 1,000 guineas for this youngster when he was only ‘a foal, and this is the highest price on record. The match between the Derby winner, Galopin, and Lowilander at the last meeting, for £1,000 a side, was a most sporting affair and enormous sums of money were Tn ike Baroy suber ture inonthaayo one st Md 2,000 to 1,000, royal party laid Lowlander {s, octane for size and substance the grandest looking horse I ever saw. As he had won races in the commonest of canters, carrying very heavy weights. bis party thought that he could not be beaten, for, though bb had to give his younger opponent 12 lbs., this was not 0 much as, according to the weight for age scale, he ought todo, Toa Derby winner, however, weight is no object, and Galopin ulled ‘over his gigantic opponent all ‘the way. The Parquis of Huntley, who is Mr. Bird, pulled a very long face. The Hungarian Princo Bathyany, who is a very old man, could not conceal his ight Iknowa man who would like to gye Biro 4,000 guineas for his horse and he dare not make the offer, VORRIGN PRINCES have had rather a benofit in England this autumn. Tho Russian Prince Soltykoff took 000 out of the ring with his horse Duke of Parma in tho Cesarewitch. He bought him for little more than 200 guineas from Mr. Ten Broeck's circus performer, Sir Johnstone. His victory is a contrary turn of the wheel of fortune for the ear stable. Ten years ago Lt were in low water, but, happening to purchase out of a selling race the urer, Lord Hastings and his friends: woi Cwearewitch and £150,000 with him, In like manner as they gained one Cosarewltch winner they have lost another. They expected on this occasion to do the trick with s horse called Clarendon, who broke down after he bad been backed to win about £40,000, He is the property of the owner of the cele- brated Argyle Rooms, a dancing establishment, fre- quented by the upper crust of the demt-monde le known by his friends as ‘THR “DUKE OF ARGYLE," and {t makes Scotchmen mad when they hear I!t, Prince Soltykof ts one of the most affable princes I ever came near.

On one occasion, when the Princess was on a visit to Sir R Pigot, at Branches Park, near Newmar- ket, she suddenly appeared like an apparition in the drawing room wearing her husband's colors, the neat- est of little jockey boots, silk breeches, & pink sill jacket black and cap.

Witkesnarre, Pa., Nov, 11, 1875. ‘The romance of crime rarely reveals a case more in, teresting than that of the notorious Anthony Lenahan, who, after having been at large a year wandering through the country in order to evade the avenging hand of justice which sought him for the unprovoked murder of Captain John Reilly at Wilkesbarre, has-at length been captured at La Salle, IL, by Sheriff Mo- Intyre, of Ottawa, and lodged in the County Jail at this place. THE MURDER for which Lenahan has been hunted down was one of the most dastardly and unprovoked that ever occurred fm this county. The victim, Captain John Reilly wae @ citizen in excellent standing in this community, and the story of his tragic fate thrilled Luzerne county with horror from end to end, and made @ considerable stir at the time throughout the entire country. On the léth of October, 1874, Captain Reilty, together with Anthony Lenahat, drove out of the city of Wilkesbarro in a buggy, tntending to visit Ashleyville, a few miles distant, It was in the dusk of the evening, and the two men, as they started from the botel chatted pleasantly, the frank Reilly little dreaming that bis companion nursed a viper in his heart. ‘They had no more than reached the outskirts of the city when Lenaban, by a rapid movement entirely un- expected on the part of his comrade, drqw a revolver and shot him three times; then leaping from the buggy the murderer disappeared in an adjacent wood and has ever since managed to evade capture until the 2d inst., when he was arrested at La Salle, ill The horse, frightened by u report of the pistol, plunged forward with the murdered man, upset the buggy, and was finally stopped by some persons on the a conveyed the body of Reilly to his home, That he had been shot by Lenaban, and in a manner #0 treacherous, areused a feeling the most intense against the vile murderer, ana the county ‘was scoured in search of him for hg and weeks after- ward, bat to no purposa Why he committed thi crime was a profound mystery, and is to the present time. Both seemed to be on the best terms of friend- ship, and the omy theory for tho tragic deed which ained credence was the fact that Captain Reilly had Gourres, the displeasure of the notorious ‘ Molly Maguires,” to which order Lenahan belonged, and that to tho latter was allotted the task of killing him, in accordance with the barbarous and high-handed custem Prevalent in that society for despatching persons obnoxious to ts members, THE TRKACHERY OF THR.
