Lovisvinie, Nov. 14, 1875. The verdict was sadly received by the Ku Klux pris- on Smoot, Onan and Meffert, when convicted. The three were presented before Judge Emmons to receive THEIR FINAL SENTENCE. The Judge first addressed himself to Smoot, He said personally he did not consider him a degraded man; he did not believe him a tmef; he saw nothing in his character that would cause the belief that any man’s property would not be safe when in his reach, But he had been carried away by a local feeling, which caused a combination of purpose to commit high crimes. He had perhaps really no evil in his heart, but strange circumstances surrounding the feeling in a local community caused him to join in a common purpose, and he had commit- ted one of the MOST DANGEROUS OV CRIMES. So far as the Court was aware he had never wronged any one in the ordinary walks of life. After making some romarks to Smoot, whom he sentenced for fivo years, Judge Emmons turned to John Onan and told him to consider well what ne had said to Smoot. Ho Togretted that, without violation of his public duty, he cond not impose a lighter sentence upon him, but was compelied to sentence him to not less than three years’ imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Judge Emmons then addressed himself to George Meffert, and said that in his case he should take into consideration the accidents that had befallen him, the fact that he had been shot and badly wounded and was still suffering from his wounds; the jury believed him guilty, but ina less degree than the others, and had recommended leniency. Upon his part he would take into consideration the accilents which had occurred to him and his record irrespective of the recommenda- tion of the jury. sle would take into consideration the exasperation and excitement caused by bis wounds, and was, therefore, not prepared just then to pass'sen- tence. He wished to make further inquiry into his life since his arrest, and he, therefore, suspended sen- tence for an indefinite period. It would not be long before rentence would be given, but that time would be deducted from the period of his sentence. COUNSEL POR THE DEFENCE asked that the Court allow the prisoners to be sent to some other penitentiary outside of Kentucky, for various personal reasons affecting their families and relatives. The Court, however, said it knew nothing of these reasons, and could not send them to any other prison, THB COUNTS on which the prisoners were convicted charge them with conspiring to injure Willis Russell, while engaged in the lawful discharge of his duty as an officer of the United States, and endeavoring to execute this con- racy by pursuing him with armed bands of men with the purpose of killing htm. AYTER SENTENCE the friends of the prisoners gathered around and shook hands with them, but few words passed. Judge Emmons’ words to Smoot, Onan and Meffert seemed to have some effect upon’ them, and were evidently gractousty received. Smoot and Onan will be taken in a few days to Frankfort to serve out their sentence, A. W. Hall, the other Ku Klux indicted with the aforesaid trio, was found not guilty of conspiracy. PROBABLE WIFE MURDER, THE RASH ACT OF A JEALOUS HUSBAND. Bostox, Nov. 14, 1875. Owen Marshall, residing tn Stoughton, shot and probably fatally wounded his wife last night. He had been married three months, and is said to have ‘been jealous of a fireman ona railroad, whom he had charged with Improper relations with bis wife. He returned home last evening, between eight and nine o'clock, saluted bis wife’s family, with whom the young couple lived, pleasantly, and passed up staire to his room without speaking to his wife, who was sitting on the bed. He DREW A REVOLVER AND PIRED, the ball entering the bridge of her nose, between the eyes. The people down stairs rushed up and found rs. Marshall insensible on the bed. Marshall fled and ‘has not yet been arrested, though officers are in pur- snit. He has hitherto borne an excellent reputation. Probing has failed to find the ball, and Mrs. Marshall is fn a precarious condition. GUIBORD'S BODY. PREPARATIONS FOR THE BURIAL TO-MORROW. Montauat, Quedeo, Nov. 14, 1875. The Prince of Wales Rifles, the Victorias, the garri- son artillery, a lignt field battery, the water police and 100 of the city police are under orders to muster at their quarters on Tuesday morning next, in order to carry out the burial of Gaibord’s body. LABOR REFORM. CONVENTION OF THE NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE— A WAR AGAINST CAPITAL THBEATENED— BLASPHEMOUS UTTERANCES. Bosrox, Mass., Nov. 14, 1875. The New England Labor Reform League held a con- vention in this city to-day. A series of resolutions were adopted denunciatory of all political parties, creeds and faiths; asserting that all legislation in this country tends not to protect persons and property but to promote the interests of speculative robbery. A large number of speakers addressed the Convention, an DARK HINTS OF REVOLUTION and secret military bes, ayes among the laboring men wore thrown out. One speaker asserted that men were drilling in Chicago, and the people need not be surprised to find that city in ashes some morning; other cities to be similarly served. Tramps were tauded as only honest men, the Saviour himself having been one. The Convention failed to hit upon any remedy for the alleged disorders, and adjourned subsequent to call, FIRE IN CHARLESTON, 8 C. CuaRurstox, Nov. 14, 1875.

THE “CLOVEN FOOT” BARED, Proposed Political Combination in Virginia. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wastinetox, Nov. 14, 1875, The Sunday Chronicle, formerly the property of J. W. Forney and lately edited by his brother, came out to-day flat-footed for Grant and the third term. The paper after its desertion of republicanism affliated with the liberal movement until the latter died out It has since beop on the fence, with a strong leaning at times toward tho democracy. Its sudden conversion to-day to the third term is regarded as more of the work of Zach. Chandler And Judge Edmunds in “organizing victory” for the third term campaign. Tho old National Intelligencer has also reappeared in Washington after several years of @ precarious existence in sulky democratic exile tn Fairfax county, Virginia, and has thrown the third term flag to tho breeze, to the horror and disgust of all the dyed.in-the-wool Bourbons of Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. It is said that Zach. Chandler has bought the paper also in the interest of the third term intrigue. Hardly any other explana- tion can account for such a complete transformation in the politics of tho paper. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Met Ree Wasuincton, Nov. 14, 1875. REORGANIZATION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN VIRGINIA—PROPOSED COMBINATION WITH THE INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVES. Prominent republicans of Virginia are now engaged in an effort to reorganize and strengthen the republican party in that State, by a combination of republicans and independent conservatives, who, in the late elec- tion, acted with the republicans. As the first step in that direction they are working for the appointment of Judge Morton, republican, as Postmaster at Richmond, in the place of Miss Van Lew, and for General Heath, who served as a Confederate general and who lately op- posed General Bradley T. Johnson for the State Senate, to be Collector of Internal Revenue in that city. Other changes are contemplated by those who seem to be especially interested in this new political movement. So far they have acted privately, being engaged at present only with the preliminary movement. THE CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE IN THE HOUSE O¥ REPRESENTATIVES—ACTIVITY OF DEMO- CRATIC PLACEMEN. The number of candidates for the elective offices in the House of Representatives, apart from the Speaker- ship, is constantly increasing. Already the democratic members have received printed circulars from theso candidates, asking for their votes. Private parties are also importuned for influence in their behalf. Each candidate.has numerous frends seeking subordinate appointments to office, and henco there is much activity in working for their regpective candidates, There are at least four candidates for Clerk of the House of Representatives from the South, and these have numerous dependents. Some of tho candidates for elective offices announced their purpose directly it was ascertained that the democrats had secured a majority in the House of Representatives. PREPARATIONS FOR THE ANNUAL MESSAGE. Some of the reports of the different bureaus have been printed and others are in the hands of the printer. The report of the Postmaster General has been com- pleted and those of other heads of departments are in a state of forwardness, The President has not yet com- menced writing his annual Message. ADDISON LOWE VINDICATED. Some weeks ago a number of charges were made against Addison Lowe, Supervising Inspector of Steam- boats at New York, affecting his official character. Mr. Burnett, the Supervising Inspector General of Steam Vessels, promptly appointed a special agent to gather all the facts in the case, and his report was referred to the Solicitor of the Treasury. The examination by this officer has resulted in the vindication of Mr. Lowe. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST EXPLOSIONS AND COL- LISIONS OF STEAM VESSELS, ° Official data show that there are about 4,000 steam vessels in the United States, coming under the law for the better protection of passengers in boats propelled in whole or part by steam. Them are on an average three licensed officers to aboat. Owing to rigid ex- aminations better classes of men are secured as officers than heretofore, and the number of explosions and collisions has consequently very materially diminished, THE FUTURE CALL FOR BONDS. It hasbeen officially ascertained that additional calls by the Treasury Department for the redemption of old outstanding bonds depend on the sale of new ones abroad, REMOVALS IN THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. The removals commenced by Secretary Chandler last week in the Department of the Interior will be resumed. this week. There is consequently much alarm among the clerks, many of whom are apprehensive of re- moval, THE VICE PRESIDENT. CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT IN HIS CONDITION. Wasnuratox, Nov. 14, 1875, Vice President Wilson slept well from eleven o'clock last night until six this morning, without opiates or other medicine. This morning’s mail was brought tohim after breakfast, when he read a portion of the numerous letters and despatches from sympathizing friends and looked over the morning papers. At eleven o'clock he sat up half an hour and then lay down, feel- ing somewhat weak. Sir George T. Bowon, of England, called during the morning, bearing a note of introduc- tion from George W. Childs; but, learning that the Vice President was asleep, he declined to have him disturbed for the purpose of presenting the note. Among’ ‘THE VISITORS TO-DAY were Postmaster General Jewell, Secretary Bristow and Senators Patterson and Paddock. Dr. Baxter sent a note to the-President this forenoon, of which the fol. lowing is a copy :— NOTE TO THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Prxstprxt—The Vico President continues to im- proveand slept quietly all night, He feels much stronger this morning, and will be able to sit up awhile to-day, ANOTHER JUVENILE ACROBAT CASE. ONE OF THE ‘POOLE BROTHERS” BEFORE THE COURT—HE 18 CONSIGNED TO THE CARE OF THE WASHINGTON BERGH—AFTECTING SCENE AND A HOSPITADLE COMPROMISE. Wasmxotox, Nov. 14, 1875, Mr. Gatchell, President of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cracity to Animals, yesterday, acting un- dor a writ of habeas corpus, took possession of a child, aged about seven years—one of the membors of an acrobatic combination called the “Poole Brothe: porforming at a variety theatre in this city—the pur. pose of the seizure being to prevont further perform. ances, their character being denounced as crue! and dangerous. The writ was brought in the name of the child, “Zana Poole, by bis noxt friend, Theodore F, Gatchell,” and was made returnable before Judge Wylie, THR CASE excited much attention. The proprietor of the theatre and the Poole Brothers contended that there was noth. ing Whatever dangerous in the performance and that every precaution was taken to prevent accidents. On tho other hand Mr. Gatcheli and others contended that the performance was dangerous and brutal and was stich as to cause apprehensions of great porsonal danger to tho child, TAK DECKE At tho conclusion of the arg Judge Wylie made a decree that the in the possession of Mr. Gatehel! until further orders of the Court. Upon the rendition of this decision the child and its custodians set up A GENERAL 8OBRING and created quite an nffecting sceno, the oxcitement becoming imtense, Whereupon Mr. Gatchell stated that ho had no desire to separate the parties, and that if one of tho brothers chose to accept of his hospitali tes he could remain with the child at bis house, This offer was accepted, and Mr, Gatchell drove to his home accomuanied by his temporary ward and « ents of the counsel, hild should remain | ef the | brothers; consequently they gave no performance last night. A plea of appeal from the decision of the Court was denied by the Court, who stated that he bad final juris- diction, MURDER IN THE STREETS. AN INOFFENSIVE OLD GENTLEMAN BEATEN TO DEATH BY BUFFIANS. ,Bosroy, Mass., Nov. 14, 1875. Thomas P. Pulsifer, an aged and highly respected extizen of the South End, who bas been for the past twenty-three years proprietor of a provision store at No. 73 Prince street, was assaulted by two rufflans at Lalf-past cleven o'clock last night and beaten so severely that he died to-night {rom his injuries’ He closed his store at a quarter-past cleven o'clock P. M. and Started to walk through Salem street to take the cars on Hanover street for his residence at the South End. Near the Scaman’s Bethel on Parmenter strect he was met by two men, who assaulted and beat him with billies, the sound of the struggle awakening people in the vicinity, A young man living near by raised his window and shouted, when the assailants sud- denly left. The police were notified and the wounded man carod for. Upon his head and face wore seven terrible cuts and his skull was frac- tured in three places. He was taken to the hospital and died to-night. He had on his person $300 or $400 and a gold watch and chain, which were left by the murderers untouched. Whether the intention was simply murder or robbery in not’ known, Thus far there 1s no clow to the assailants, Mr. Pulsifer was an inoffensive old gentleman, not known to have an enemy.

The Commercial’s Cairo (Ill.) special says slight shocks of earthquake were felt there at about five o’clock last evening and again at about two o'clock this morning. BUTCHERS AT WORK. Pautapenpusa, Nov. 14, 1875, ‘A fight occurred to-day between a party of German butchers at the corner of Taylor and Brown streets, in which Martin Wooster was stabbed in the head and dangerously wounded. The knife broke, leaving about four inches of the blade in bis head. THE HORSE TRADE. WHERE THE HORSES COME FROM—WHO BUYS AND SELLS THEM—HORSE AUCTIONS. ‘Where do all the horses come from? How do they get here? And who brings them? Those questions are doubtless often asked by people of inquiring minds; and how many of the average citizens would be able to answer them satisfactorily and correctly? «Few aro aware of the magnitude, or, in fact, ever havo given a thought on the subject of the horse trade in this city or the interests of those engaged init, With many the name of ‘horse dealer’’ signifies a maa tho business of whose lile it is to cheat every one who deals with him and who has made misrep- resentation a science. As tosome this is doubtless true, but by no means must they all be viewed in this light. There are many men in the trade who carry on their business in as honorable a manner as those en gaged in dealing in dry gooas, groceries or any other of the many necessaries of life. The horse business here, as in London, has special streets devoted to its traffic, There are three blocks on Twenty-fourth street, from Second avenue to Lexington avenuc, mainly occupied by trade stables, although there are many stables of dealors scattered about the upper part of the city. Agents are constantly employed by the city dealers to travel through the country buying up horses where- ever they can be bought, from, the farmers at such prices as the stato of the market hero will warrant, at- tending all the public sales, and when they havo bought horses enough to load a car or two shipping them by railway to this city. Some make a specialty of trading in certain grades of animals; that is to say, some stables deal almost altogether in work horses for the street railroads and omnibuses; others in road- sters, carriage horses, matched teams and trotters, The work horses for the railways range from 15 to 15is, hands in height, and aro brought here at not less than five years of age. If younger than that their feet have not yet matured sufficiently to withstand the constant travel- ling over the pavements. Not many are brought that are over eight years of age. The supply comes princi- pally (rom the States of Ohio, Indiana, Iljinois, Mich- an and Missouri. The animals are worth here from 140 to $160. Formerly Canada contributed a largo share of this kind of stock, but the custom duties and our ‘rag’ money together have renderod the importa- tion so unprofitable that it has almost entirely ceased. Horses for trucks, curts and similar heavier work are mostly from sixteen to seventeen hands high, and come, in the main, from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, their value varying from $175 to $250, some selling as high as $300, according to appearance and quality, MATCHED TEAMS of carriage horses fer private use come from New York State, Obio, Kentucky and Vermont, and can hardly be said to have any fixed market value. They are sold at prices ranging from $500 or $600 all the way up to $2,000 or $3,000, ‘and when extraordinary speed A com. bined with size and style the prices asked and obtained aro without limit. Trotters, that is to say, horses that are able to trota mile iu three minutes or tained from pretty much the same localitie: horses, and each second that a horso is able to take off his time below two minutes and a half may be said to add’ $1,000 to his value, Canada is still largely a contributor. Regarding trotters, it may be as well to remark what may seem to most people to be passing strange, that while few of the remarkably fast ones are good looking fewer still are sound, many of them are both ugly in appearance and unsound even to lameness, AUCTION SALES OF HORSES have of late years become quite an important branch of the horse trade, and there are several prominent estab- lishments solely engaged in selling horses and their juipments, carriages, harness, blankets, whips, &o. These firms have rogular sale days, that if one pleases he may go to a horse auction every day in the week. Itis the auctioneer’s business to explain the terms, the meaning of the guarantees, &c., before co mencing the sale. Thus if a horse is described on tl ang kind iu all harness, the buyer has twenty- four hours to ig 4 him {n, and if he proves un- kind, to take im back, and his money will be returned. If warranted jound, aud dur. ing the time for trial proves to be unsound, the certificate of @ recognized veterinary surgeon to u effect must be returned witi the horse. Many horses are sold at auction for “account of whom it may | concern."’ This isa technical phrase, meaning that the animal is ouly warranted to be « horse and nothing more. Most of jorses sold here are harnessed be- | fore vehicles of some kind. Tho horse is driven up and down the street in front of the stable to give the urcbaser a fair chance to see lim move, First the jorse is sold to the highest bidder, then the burness, then the wagon. Taken altogether, a purchaser is a else. There are also men who make it a business to at- tend ail these sales, buying at one to sell at another. Some of the railway companies have contracts with the large dealers to furnish such a number of horses— say filty or one hundred—of specified size, weight and | age, to be delivered so many each month at a given | prices and as these dealers have a hundred horses, per- haps, in their stables at a time, they do not pretend to exorcise them with any regularity, as they are gener- ally turned over to the railway companics within @ week after their arrival, Like most other branches of business the dealers all complain very much of the general depression im business, especially in taney stock—carriage, trotting and road horses—and the auction men say that although they have twice as many horses to sell as during former years, they only sell for half xs much money; so, as they receive only a fixed commission, they have tw do twice as much Work for the same money, THE NEWARK BANK “ RUN." Mr. John McGregor, President of the Newark Dime Savings Institution, stated to a Hetaty representative last evening that, in his opinion and the opinion of the other officers, the run on their bank practically ended on Saturday, As already recorded in the Hxratn, this bank closed on Saturday afternoon at | four o'clock and opened in the evening, but the number of persons desirous of drawin funds had. dwindled to a large sized corporal’s guard. Between four aud nine In the evening, when the bank closed, there were altogether only twenty-five deposit. ors who drew funds. During the same hours many of who, during the scare of Friday, had dgawn every avvemrr and redevosited the same th cent, safe in buying at these places as he would be anywhere | 7 AMUSEMENTS HANS VON BULOW.

Salvotti, whose finely cultivated and full- toned soprano voice was heard to advantage in an aria from “‘Nabuco;’’ Mr. Levy, who played cor- net variations in a Russian air superbly, and was greeted with the customary encores; Mr. Sohst, whose noble baritone voice did ample justice to Gounod’s “Nazareth;” Mr. Arbuckle, whose rendering on the cornet of a melody by Balfe was heartily applauded; and Mr, Bracht, who played a fantasia on the flute. ‘Tho last mentioned work was not particularly interest- ing. Over 1,000 people were present. The Amphion Orchestral Society, a young organi. zation, composed of excellent material, gave their first public concert at the Germauia Assembly Rooms last evening, before a fair sized audience. Mr. Jacobi, the conductor, and also a violinist of repute, has. labored successfully im bringing this body of musicians, about fifty in number, up to a standard of Philharmonic excellence. One selection of ‘Lohengrin’ was admirably rendered, and the singing of Miss Annie Borie, the only soloist of the concert, was very commendable. The next concert takes place on January 23. Mr, Hermann Grau introduced twenty-eight mnstru- mentalists at the Stadt Theatre, representatives of the “United North German Military Band.” As the band is yet incomplete, a number of other musicians belonging to it being expected by the next steamer, it would be unjust to criticise it too closely after the performance of last evening. Meyerbeer, Beethoven, Strauss, Mercadante, Weber, Rossini Lange, Suppe, Witte and Gast were represented on the bill, variety enough for the most insatiate patron of the German Opera House. The performance pleased tho majority of the audience very much, and its repetition next Sunday with an increased band may tend to re- move certain unfavorable impressions produced in musical minds present. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. Mr. Thomas P. Malany will have a benefit concert at Steinway Hall to night. The new National Opera House in London, it is thought, will cost £250,000 stefling. Mile. Titiens and Mr. Max Strakosch arrived at the Everett House yesterday from Albany. Mr. J. N. Pattison is engaged for a piano recital in Baltimore, which will take place in a few weeks. . Wachtel appears as Lionel in “Martha” to-night, “Lohengrin”’ will shortly be placed in rehearsal. : It has been a little more than ten years since Joseph Jefferson appeared as Rip Van Winkie in London.

The management of the Lyceum Theatre announce a series of Wednesday matinées. ‘Frou Frou’ is to be the attraction at the initiatory performance. ‘There is a rumor that arrangements are being made for a short season of Italian opera in this city during the winter, with Mile, Titiens as the principal attrac- tion. Mile. Albani is still winning laurels in the Gye Opera Company through the English provinces. In Dublin her success was as great as that she achieved in London last summer. Daly’s Fifth Avenue travelling company will soon begin a comedy engagement at De Bar’s Opera House, St. Louis, after which a winter season in New Orleans has been arranged by Mr. James W. Morrissey.

Dr. Carroll's church, Brooklyn, to open a branch Orpheon free vocal school in their chureh, A similar school will be organized in Jersey City this week. , i Plots are the hardest of all things to get in modern dramas, New stories are rare. it is true that treat- ment is more important than material in a play; still it would be a pleasure if our dramatists could find some- thing else besides the weli known, threadbare subjects, Although the French government has not agreed to theatres and concerts in Paris, it has consented to remit one-half of the tax on concerts in which music of a high classis performed. The total abolition of the tax must follow in due course of time. Miss Adelaide Lennox, the actress, who came to this country two years ago with a fine London reputation, has written a drama of English society, which she con- templates offering for production on the New York stage, The merits claimed for it aro great literary ex- cellence, strong situations and striking effects, ‘Tho Choir complains that while Paris is already en- joying threo series of orchestral performances of a high order—the popular concerts of Mf. Pasdeloup, the mod- ern concerts of M. Chollet and the concerts of the As- sociation Artistique, directea by M. Colonne, with a symphony in every programme—London 18 left almost unsupplied with concerts for the autumn and winter. The reappearance of Charles Fechter on the New York stage after two years’ absence will be welcomed. He will first appear in French drama at the Lycoum withthe fine company now there, and afterward wil) play the same characters in English, supported by an English company. The principal French plays will be those written expressly for him, as “La Dame Aux | Camelias,” “Lee Filles de Marbre,” “Ruy Blas,” | “Rouge et Noir,’ ‘Les Fréres Corses,” &c. Von Bilow’s path through New England is strowed with the remaius of critics whom he bath made mad, and it might be retraced by following up their cries, Boston and Providence criticism is now emulated in craziness by that of Hartford. Of the “Moonlight Sonata” of Beethoven acritic of that city says that “the wild complaints in sixteenth notes rush rapidly upward against a double accord, again and again, until a peace- Jess theme agitates the finale.’’ We trust that New York will escape this epidemic of musical lunacy, which seems to travel with Von Bilow just asthe cholera is Said to have acgompanied the Wandering Jew. The King Lear of Signor Rossi seems to be more suc- cessful than his Hamlet. A Paris correspondent “The powerful effect produced on his jience by the harrowing bitterness of his curse of Goneril was only equalled by the emotion produced during the scenes of idiocy and the tenderness dispiayed toward | Cordelia.
