CONNECTICUT” REPUBLICAN. Nomination of a State Ticket in Convention. HARD MONEY AND RETRENCHMENT. The Unwritten Law of the Presidential Suecession Affirmed. The Common Funds Not To Be Diverted to Sectarian Institutions, THE POLITICAL CHANCES. Hantroro, Coih., Feb. 2, 1876. The Republican State Convention assémbied at Al- tym Hall, this city, to-day. It was numefously attended, néarly or quite every town m the State being repre- sented. Notwithstanding a heavy fall of snow during the night the mornipg trains arrived on time, and atten o'dléck all the delegates Were if their places. The gal- leriés Wero filled with spectators, among whom were many Jadies. The Convention was called to order by H. Lynde Harrison, of New Haven, and Jobn A. Tib- | bétts, of New Léndoh was chosen temporary chair- mah, In accepting the position he expressed the hope | Uhat the party would take a firm stand in favor of hard money, and in all ite deliberations advoyéate measures looking to the maintenance of the free school syatem. Aiter the reports of the committees on Credentii an Resolutions ex-Congressman Steplien W. Kellogg, vf, Waterbury, Was elected permanent Chairman. On saking thé chair he expressed himseif as glad to see so many of the old faces in the Convention, but that glad- ness was changed to sorrow as memory recalled a Backingbam, a Forty, a Starkweather ard other noble pmiés who had recently departed, and with whom such slorioas Work for the State and nation had been achieved. THR MISSION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY Was not ended. it had had much to contend with, though its aims had ever been shaped for the accom. | plishmernt of the greatest good. Few had thought that ten years wowld elapso and so little be done to plice the country’s finances on a firm basis, The party was committed to the early resumption of specie payments; and, in- deéd, both parties, four years ago, were a unit on that quéstion, It was no fauit of tne republican party that \t bad not been reached. Presidefit Grant never por- formed a more glorious act than when he interposed his veto to the passage of an act of Congress looking tocurrency contraction. The republican party should make | THE GREENBACK DOLLAR in all respects equal to the gold dollar. 1¢ is practi- tally pledged to the work of making the currency uni- form. By tho attainment of that end can we alone sustain our own and th’e nation’s honor. He believed the work of the Convention would result in presenting icket which could win.

It was decided that the building should be erected in this country, at a cost of about $100,000, under the supervision of the Haytian Minister, Mr. Preston. In imitation of the Pantheon built by | Agrippa at Rome and dedicated to all the gods, it was devermined to give ita like name. No words of com- parisons are too great for Haytian ambition, it may be here mentioned. The Pantheon has now been com- pleted by Heuvelman, Haven & Co., manufacturers of } architectural iron, and from that firm @ HeRavp re- porter gained yesterday the following data respecting the wonderful building. The brigs H Houston, which left this port om the 12th ult., aud the W. 0. Andrews, which left here on the 2dd wlt., carry out the Pantheon to Port-au-Prince, in Hayti, The original edifice of that fame was of round or cylindrical shape and 144 (cet in diameter, This one is square, and is 64 teet square and 69 feet high, There ate four windows ou each side. On one side ts a door about 14 feet high, and on either side ate pillars of the Corinthian typo und surmounted by a triangular pedi- ment A pediment properly the representation of the roof, but as the building 18 of the cbinposite order of Ce 1k matters littl Beneath it is ia- scribed under the Haytian coat of atms: Panthéon 4 la Mémoire des Grands Hommes D’ Halti, which means, Panthcon to the mémory of the great men of Hayu. The windows are large and handsome, and of stained glass. Thetr top portion constitnies what is known in architecture as “‘a rose window." ‘The building is suf+ mounted by a spherical dome and clock tower, havi! kout on top for viewing the scenery around. flag stail is placed on the roof, and on it the Haytian lag will fy from sunrise till sunset, The interior is present, but later on, m imitation ides at Paris, will doubtless be dotned with flags tured from enemies, pictures avd photographs. The tloor is of tesselated marble, likewise an altar and pulpit of the finest Carrara marble, isto be erected, surrounded with bronze railing and surmoanted by flambeaux. The tomb is to bear the | nscripuion, “i. J. Desalines, Fondateur de l’Indépen- ‘dence Haitlenne’’ (founder ot’ Haytian independence.) ‘A large bell hangs near the roof of the building, aud a winding staircase Jeads from the floor up to the clock tower and observatory. Tho building is to be painted white, The description of the building is not complete without allusion to the great Desaline himself, whose iron statue surmounts the roof. In his left band ts a sword, and in his right 4 marshal’s baton, His uni+ form is similar to that of our old Continen- tals, .and his complexion is dark as ébony. Otber Haytian great men will doubtless be perched round the building. The present President of Faye, General Domingues, has ordered another m- scfiption to be placed, | namely:—“Krigé par le gouvernement du Président Michel Domingtes.” (Erected by the government of President Michel Do- mingues. ) The Pantheon isa very handsome affair, take it “ali in all,” and it is to be hoped that ic will be duly uid for, Meanwhile, although the government of Hay ti has recently effected a foreign loan, the public officials have not received their salaries tor months. Within afew days the Pantheon will, all proba- bility, be delivered at Port au Prince. [t was prinei« pally constructed at Trenton, N. J., and sixteen skilled mechanics have gone out for the purpose of putting it together. MR. AND MRS. MILLER HOW ISAAC WILSON PROMISED TO SEPARATE THE COUPLE AND GOT INTO JAIL BECAUSE HIS WORD WAS BAD. On Monday last Isaac M. Wilson, who formerly kept a livery stable at White Plains, Westebester county, was éscorted from the Central Police Oiled, in this city, to the jail of the county named, by Deputy Sheriff Ford. He is to answer an indictment charging him with having obtained money ander false pretences, The circumstances ander which, as alleged, Wilson re- ceived the money, are of a somewhat singular character, About three years ago Josephine Lyman, a rural belle of twenty-two summers, was married at White Plains to Moses Miller, a retired farmer in comfortable circumstances, and about seventy-three yeurs old, Both of the contracting parties lived in the village named, and are well known in that community. Before | the honeymoen was gone the couple agreed to separa Miller conseniing to give his bride the sum ot $1,001 in lieu of dowry and any other legal claim she might have upon him. Shortly after this separation the an- tiquated bridegroom conceived, as 18 stated, the idea of taking to himself another wife, and commenced an ac- tion for ap absolute divorce from Joseplino, tbe ac- tion being based upon information given him by Wil- son, who, for a money consideration, stipulated to far- nish the necessary proofs of the wife's criminal conduct. Wilson’s price for this undortaking was $600, which Miller alleges he paid him in advance. When the da of tral came, about twelve months since, the plaintii and bis counsel appeared 1m court, but neither Wilson nor his witnesses could be found. The case was ac- cordingly postponed. Miller soon afterward temporarily relented, condoned the alleged offences of his youth- ful wife and once again imyited her to share his homeand heart She accepted, and after re-occt- pying her position of mistress of the old man’s house for about twenty-four hours another separation was effected, and she again packed her tranks and left ber not unwilling lord. Meantime a reieree had been ap- pointed to take testimony in the divorce suit; but upon | the Court becoming cognizant of the plaintif’s con- above, the case was uncere- moniously stricken from the calender. This un- luoked-tor judicial proceeding surprised as well #8 mortified Miller, who immediately took steps to have Wilson’s alleged offence brought to the notice of the next evsuing Grand Jury, when an indictment, as above stated, was found agaist him. The prisoner will be tried at the March term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, which convenes at White Plains next Monday. It is understood that Josepbine Miller bas lately caused her busband’s arrest on a charge of dis- orderly conduct, and that sbe has also.instituted a sult against him for absolate divorce on the ground of adultery. is OBSEQUIES OF PAY DIRECTOR BARRY. A requiem low mass was yesterday celebrated at the Jesuits’ church, in West Sixteenth street, over the re- mains of Pay Director Garrett R. Barry, who died at his residence, No. 47 Clinton place, on Saturday last. The obsequies, which, in accordance with the desire of the deceased, were of the very simplest character, wero attended by a large number of tho relatives and friends of the family. The Loyal League, of which deceased was a member, was fully represented. No uniorms were worn either by the officers of the navy or the army who Were in attendance. The coffin was lined with silk and covered with bisck cloth, aad upon it were laid floral tributes, consisting of crosses, crowns, wreaths and g is of immortelles or tube roses. Upon the plate was the inscription :— POLELOLODELL ALTE DEIELELEROLEDELEDELEOEPE DODO DDLE DE DE: M4 GARRETT R. BARRY, aged 81 years, Died February 26, 1876. POODLE SOLE LE DELEOLIOUL DE DOLELE LE DELELE DE DELS DOE) The pall-bearers were:—General Carleton, General Milbaw, Major Lockwood, Paymaster Cuuer, Dr. The- baud and Mr. Lyon. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. Father Gleaeon, 8. J. The ceremonics, though without any ostentation, were very impres- sive. The remains were interred in Calvary Cemetery, duct, as related OBSEQUIES OF THE LATE STEPHEN §, CHATTERTON. ‘The funeral of the late Steplen 3. Chatterton, who died on Saturday last, took place from No, 10 East Twenty-cighth street yesterday, Many of the old sgl friends of the deceased attended. Tho Rov.

Tho body wns taken to Trinity Cometery, Car- mansville, where tho burial rite of the Oad Feliows was performed. A BARROOM TRAGEDY, A PITROUS SCENE—A BOY PLEADING FOR HIS FATHER'S LIFE. [From the Santa Rosa (Cal,) Demoerat.} On Monday evening, at balf-past seven o'clock, Ham Briggs and his brother-in-law, Jim Beatie, went into the saloon of their brother-in-law, Ben Chambers. Briggs called for a drink, which was given to him. Briggs asked = Cham- bers to take a drink, which Chambers refused to do, ‘This made Briggs mad. He threw down the bottle and leaned against the bar, Chambers wont into the back room and got his shotgun, raised it and fired at Briggs. Aman standing beside Briggs saw Chambers taking aim, and had enough presence of mind to step back as the gun was levelled, He was justin time. A crashing report followed, part of the cbarge striking Briggs m the side and part striking Beatie, who was near. Beatie ran out of the saloun to the saloon of ©. J. Son, about tifty yards distant, and jumped through the giass door, cutting his head badly, He died as he struck the floor. The last words he said were, as he ran toward the galvon, “1 believe Lam shot.” Briggs had falien in his tracks from the effect of the shot. Chambers ap- proached bim, struck him with his gun, jampe Dim And stabbed thirteen times. iggs’ little son, Wille, was with him, and tried hard to stop Chambers from ‘stabbing -his father.

The attendance at the Hippodrome yesterday at noon wag better than on the day before, but the meeting hall on Madison avenue was only about half fall. A large pro- portion of the congregation were ladies’ The proceed+ ings opened with the singing of the 1334 hymn. Mr. A. C. Arnold then read the following requests for prayer:—For the comfort and conversion of a young father and mother, who have fost their only child; from an agonized sister for an only brother; ttom two other sisters for the conversion of two brothers; for oné who has yielded to great temptation, and wants the neces- sary strength; from twelve mothers for their children; from six wives for their husbands; from forty-three ladies for dear friends; trom a sister that her brother may be brought to Christ, as he is about to go to the far West; for ® Lumber of men out of Work, who wish employment; for an ovly son, who has expressed him- self a Christian, but has given himself up to dissipa- tion; for a lady who is struggling with perplexing doubts; from a conductor for a bfother conductor and for all the men employed on the train; for the Hollings | institute, Virgittia, that it may be visited by a stifring revival; from a brékén-hearted wife for her poor hus- band, who has been led away from the true path, Alter the singing of the Seventy-first hymn Mr. Mocdy preached on the subject of the day—Joy.’? He said:—I doubt a man’s conversion Who has not joy. If a man who thonght ho was converted last night told mo he had not joy I should not believe in his thorough convietion, There is the backslider’s prayer, “Re- store unto me tho joys of thy salvation,” The way to koep that joy is to study the Word and work. When the word is thoroughly studied by you then givg it out. @ People say, ‘Why ié it that so many ministets break down?’ Some think it is overwork. It is nothing of the kind; it is fretting. They have not joy, for the joy of the Lord is thy sirength. With 408 you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation. ‘hero are three kinds of joy in the Bivle—the joy ot finding Christ, the joy of seeing others converted, and the joy that John speaks of—the joy of seeing the dis- ciplos Walking in truth, Let us read John xv., 11— “Phese vhings have | spoken unto you that my joy might | remain in you."? go out and bring souls. If we have joy bubbling up in our hearts all the world can see it. Itis not our sermons that convert men, it is our lives, Mr. Sankey sung tho 110th bymn, commencing, ‘Joy to the world, the day 1s come,” the whole congregation joining in, HOW fk CAMB TO JRSUS. After the singing one of the converted recited bis ex- perience. He said:—Strange as it may appear to many of youpresent, a “few weeks ago | was unhappy, but since then I have found thatjoy. About three weeks ego 1 thought of coming to New York. I live 1,000 away. My family tried to persuade me not to, but I felt ome power raving me to this city; the same power brought me to this building and to the inquiry toom. I met a gentieman from Boston and we walked togetner | to the St. Nicholas Hotel, ahd he talked to me of Christ, The nextday I wentto the inquiry room and Mr. Moody introduced ine to a lady, whose look of internal joy abd benevolence struck me, She talked to me for wlong time, The next day I came again and | found this Jady working with two other young meq, and the look of poy joy on her face could not be mistaken, That ‘ht 1 went home and prayed, and that night 1 became , jan. Rey. Charles F, Deems, of the Church of the Strangets, followed the young man. He took for bis text, “Well done thou good and faithful servant; enter into’ the joy of the Lord.”? He said:—There is no use, my friend, when we onee foand the joy of th Lord that we should relapse into dyspeptia wrotched- ness. We can fitd the joy while we are here on earth, and we can keep it, for thero is even joy in sorrow ifwe put our fuli trust in God, firmly believing that in all emergencies we can rely oh Him, and never in vain. This habit of looking back into the little pett cares and troubles of this world, when we have so muc! to Jook forward to—it is foolish. Let as shout out lor the Lord, and with ail our banners flying. Let us use all our gifts to praise Him and serve Him; ouf Glo- quence, our wits, our hotlor, our musical gifts—all our talents in the furtherance of His work. Let the world see in our face the joy thut is 1n ou heart. Mr. Sankey then rose to rt the bymn “Joy and Sorrow,” but before doing so said that the words of Dr. Deems struck a keynote, that Christians ought not to have such long faces and look as if they were predes- tined for some awful fate, iustead of being intended to enter into the joy of the Lord forever. A smiling face, a pleasing address or a kind, thoughtful solicitude brings mure #ouls to God than ever a long, dyspeptic face with ever so much preaching. Mr. Sankey con- Uinued at some length on this subject, and concluded by singing the above mentioned hymn, Mr. Moody gave the benediction “May t! race of God abs with thee,” and then announced that there would be four o'clock meeting. A WOMAN'S MEKTING Was held at one o’clock in the Fourth avenue hall yea- terday, Mrs, Keane, of Philadelphia, pi ng. THE AFTERNOON MEETING. There were about one thousand people assembled in the afternoon meeting. The platform was not very full, and the choir was somewhat weak, but it might be at- tributed to the chilliness of the surroundings. The hall ‘was not heated, and many of the people who had been walking through the slash to reach the Hippodrome wore evidently suffering from cold tect, Mr. Sankey fang the hymn, ‘Am | on the Lord's Side,” and then Mr. Moody spoke on the subject announced, ‘The Im- portance of the Inquiry Room,’’ He said there were & great many people who say if tho sermon is plain there is no necessity for mquiry; Dat that 1 alla mis- take, because thousands bear the Word preached, d their mind is at once filled with doubt. Itis necossary that these people should be instructed and brought to know Chris. They are willing, many of them, to know if their questions can be answered satisfactorily to them. It is not the it preacher who can do the most work, either, in the inquiry room. A young convert can bring more souls to God by his earnestness and his knowledge of the man he is taiking to than the most learned theologian. Aman who has been addicted to drink or has been & slavo to other besetting sins and bas been converted can do moro work with men of his own kind than a great preacher perhaps, He can enter into that which disturbs their souls better, and they listen to him because they think ho knows what he is talking abou. Those meetings that were held on the side of Jordan were inquiry mectin; There js the third ebapter of Luke, “Then came al the publicans, and said, Master, what shall wo do?’ and the Lord answered, ‘Exact ho tore than is ap- pointed to you.’ That was the advice they got. A young man came into the inquiry room the other night, and he was asked what troubled him, atid he said he owed a man $50, He was told eed the man, and he did, and he came back the next day and found Christ. Mr. Moody then quoted about fifty extracts from the Bible to stiow the necessity of an inquiry meeting, and that they were carried on at the first foundation of the Christian religion, People say = that the inquiry room will lead to the confes- sional, Nothing of the kind, If the inquiry room is kept in our churches it will break up the confossional. The reason people go to coniession is because they feel all adrift ana waat to unload their conscienee and know how to be saved. We don’t ask any one to go to confession, but il their minds are trou- bied and they want to know the way of life we do our Dest to show them. It aman voluntarily telis us that he has been cuilty of stealing, or of anything, we give the best advice we can. If aman has been dishonest we tell him to make restitution, Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., addressed the meeting in conclusion, and Rey. wr. Paxton gave the benediction, EVENING SERVICES. The crowd at the evening services last night was im- mense, every seatin the body of the hall and gallery being occupied. A fall choir was in attendance somo | time before the moeting opened and assisted Mr. San- | key to tho best of their ability, He sang his | famous hymna, “Watching and Waiting for | Me,” and the hymn, “Where are the Nino?’ with the choir. The platform on the left of Mr. Moody was crowded with clergymen of different denominations and Christian workers of both sexes; there were at least 200 people on this platform. The subject chosen by Mr. Moody last evening was “Confession Unto Christ.” Ho said:—Last night I spoke on “Faith;’’ to-night I spenk on a subject just a8 important—"Confession Unto Christ;"’ not confession to mi but confos- sion to Christ. In Romans tenth chapier, tenth verse, we find, “For with t heart man believes anto righteousness, and with the mouth confeesion 19 mad unto salvation.” A great many have stumbled on th “confession with the mouth,” use so many of are moral cowards and are ashamed to confess Christ, though they say they believe in Him; thoogh the Seripture saith ‘Whosoever shall believe on Hit shall not be ushamed.”” Those who believe in false religions are not ashamed; they shout for their religion and are roud of it, They cry out to the world their error, Even those who serve Satan confess him and swear by him im the public street, and shout it out every day. If aman belonged to the republican party and joins the democratic party he lets tho world know it, but many a man who has been on the side of Satan aud joms the Lord's side is ashamed to confess tt Let every man who has been converted come out and tell his experience, and let the world know he has, found Christ and is not ashamed of it, He read in Luke, “And he eaid unto ke up his cross and follow Me.’ That is the troutie accept Christ do not the cross; they do not want to hambio themselves. There is no logical reason to keep this aadience from coming out in mass and con- fessing that they aro His children, but pride is the worst enemy we have got, and we cannot hamble our- selves like children on account of that pride, But oh, Christians, let us throw off that pride. Let us come and confess to Christ and believe in Him and we shall have faith and peace and, love and joy. Mr. Sanke: a the congregation then sang the ¢ighty-At hymn, = ‘Jes lover of my soul,” and the lnrge meeting was divided; the men went into the Fourth avenue hall and tho women remained tn thi Madison ay .nue hall, In both places prayer moctinas Want to take up hen wo have Joy how casy itis to | f | which all | Trinity ehureh of strong drink rose up Who wished tu reform and give up that besetting sim Were invited to go into the inquiry room and talk With the drankards who had reformed and found Jesus. About fifty responded to the invitation, and meeting closed with the singing of the hymna, “There is a fountain fillea with blood.’ THE LENTEN SEASON. To-day, being Ash Wednesday, commences the holy season of Lent, set apart by the Roman Catholic, the Protestant Episcopal and the Greck churches for special religious exercises, with certain restrictions upon diet and upon indulging in amusements, It com- memorates the forty days fast of our Saviour in the desert, and in those churches its obligations are deemed furly as binding as that which all Christians recognize in reference to Sanday, Aocording to the regulations for the observance of Lent by the Roman Catholic Church all-the days from this to Easter Sunday, April 16, are days of precept on one meal, with the allowance of @ moderato collation at ovening, coffee or tea being Sranted with the morning meal; flesh meat may be eaten at any time on Sundey and at the principal meal on Monday, ‘tuesday and Thursday, with the exception of Holy Thursday, the day preceding Good Friday, It 1s not allowed to eat meat and fish at the same meal, This being the Jubilee year in the Roman Catholic Church it is expected that Lent will be observed with more than usual fervor, It wilt be inaugurated to-day by masses in all churehes and by special services in ail ¥; churches aud chapels. In the Catholic churches 1t 18 customary to burn on Ash Wednesday morning tho cloths.which during the preceding year hive béen used to cover anddry the chalice containing the wine repr senting the blood of the Divine Redeemer in the sacra- ment the ashes being gathered and blessed at the earliest mass, after which the ancient custom of pnt- ting the sign of the cross on the foreheads of the faith- ful is observed. This ceremony consists in the priest dipping his thumb into a plate of the blessed ashes and then making on the forelicad of the faithful, kneeling at the altar railing, the sign of the cross, saying:— ‘Memento homo quia pulvis est, et in putverim re ver | teris.”” (Remember, man, that thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt returp.) The time for the annual recurrence of Lent was | Somewhat in dispute in the early Church, and wis an. | thoritatively fixed by the Council of Nice, convened in | .

PRINTERS’ WAGES. A circdlar has been issued by a number of book ands! Job printers calling a meeting of the trade at the Astor House to-day for the purpose of reducing the wages of journeymen ten per cent. and agreeing on a unifotfm schedule of paying rates. The proposition of course dogs not meet with favor among the journeymen, or even in the trade, as will be seen from the following letter which has been addressed to the meeting :— GENTLEMEN ;—We acknowledge the receipt of notice of a second meeting of employing printets, to be held atthe Astor House March 1, 1870, for the “purpose of considering # reduction of ten per cent on Journeymen’s wages. We think such reduction ill timed at present, and hard to reconcile, when the cost of living is about as high noW as when the prices were advanced to theit present status. Rather, we would say, raise the wages to competent, tempe: and faithful journeymen, than reduce them. It employing printers would turn their attention to regulating prices for their work to consumers and it @rate of discount to middlemen, it would be far moro advantageous than the petty reduction of the journey- mens’ wages would profit them. We hope the employing printers will lea NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH I, 1876.-TRIPLE SHEET. THE CONKLING LUNATICS. THE RECORD OF INSANITY—MADMEN IN THE PAST AND THE, PRESENT——HOW AN AVALANCHE | OF DEMENTED VEHSE HAS BEEN AVERTED— EXAMPLES OF CONKLING POBTRY FROM IDIOTS, IMBECILES AND MANIACS AND POLITICIANS, Ute, as the sca and wind, when both contend ‘hich is the mightier.— Hamlet, act 1V., se 1. In ancient times fanatics were treated with soverity, for madness was then attributed to the entrance of devils into the body, who could only be driven out by ation and confinement. Bedlam was thena place ot punishment. In Hogarth’s “Rake’s Progress’ we see in the closing pictures the interior of Bedlam, where men are chained naked to the walls of their cells, and in Kaulbach’s powerful painting of & madhouse, the keeper stauds with whip in hand over the wretched | inmates. Mog Merrilies recalls in horror the timo whon she was ‘imprisoned for mad, banished tor mad, scourged for mad.” Rosalind, in “As You Like It,” says that ‘love is merely a madness, abd, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and whip as madmen do,” Soin “King Lear,” Edgar when he feigns to be haunted by the foul fiend “Fiibbertigibbet,” describes himself as Poor Tom, ‘‘who is whipped from tything to tything, atid stocked, punished and impfisoned.” A description of madmen similat to these will be found in Dekker’s plays. But it is unnecessary to multiply examples of the old treatment of lunacy. The whip, the chain, the straitjacket, the stocks, the dark room were tho instruments with which our deluded ancestors thought to cure the delusions of others. Now the methods of treating lunacy ate entirely different. Society, like a madman who has temporary moments of sanity, has recognized th® fundamental truth that all men are lunatic to some dogreo, and that to imprison all its idiots and maniacs would bé suicidal. We, in our wisdom, therefore, seek to cure lunacy by lenity. We put our madmen in gorgeous palaces, allow them theatres to play in, send them to Congress some- times, where they dream they are governing the coun- try; humor thom in the belief that they are candidates for the Presidency, and actually go 80 fat as to permit them to suppose that they are poets. The resiilt is enormous extension of lunacy ina mild form and the diminution of aggravated cases. An idiot chained in a dark dingeon might develop into a raving maniac, but periitted to wander at larga and indulged in his fanta- ales he is often a harmless member of society. He ts, indeed, often not recognized as an idiot, like Hamict, who was sent to England for the expressed reason that his madness ‘would not be seen in him there; there the men are as mad as he,” Upon this theory it is easy to account for the great number of idiots, Innatics, madmen, Bediamites, cracked heads, feather wits, men possessed by devils, turlygoods, Poor Toms, gumps, conjons, dummies, maniacs and others, who have of late deluged tho world with imaginary rhymes to Conkling. Foro- seeing, as we did, that the double excitement this year of the Centebnial celebration and the Presidential cam. paign would end in a prodigious flow of poetry (God forgive this euphemism!) upon theso subjects, we re- solved to forestall the deluge. We knew very well that about this time the country would be filled with odes to Washington, in which ‘Washington” would thyme with “America’s great son,’ ‘the name he won,” ‘the foe made run,” &c, and with countless verses upon Grant, Tilden, Hendricks, Blaine (‘plain,” ‘“brain’’ and “Maino’), Kelley (belly, ‘Yelly,” “helly’), Bristow, Jewell, Bayard, &c., and, knowing that the result would be the exectation of the name of Washington and a general refusal to vote next election, we introduced Conkling as a kina of lightning conductor or safety valve to the lunacy of the country. The effect far surpasses our expectations. The whole army of American lunatics has been flanked by this strategi¢ moveiment, diverted trom its objective point, and now lies panting and ex- hausted at the feet of the eminent Senator of New York. We nave this madness under control and Conk- ling himself may well be proud of the immense blessing his name has been to the country. With this candid explanation, which we feel is dae to the public, we beg leave to present a few more of our captured idiots and madmen, and trust that any maniac who feels that he 18 wronged by being omitted will be sane enough to see that it is Impossible to present them all:— pio xO, 297.

SMITH & SUN, THE TAILORS’ STRIKE, ‘rhe strike of the tallors at Brooks Brothers, Broad- way and Bond streot, still continues, and there are at present 200 journeymen, mombers of the Tailors’ Pro- tective Union, out of work. The journeymen state that Brooks Brothers not only want to reduce p- wages bat also to ignore theit Union, which they élnim to be one of the strongest and best organized trade societies in the country. They claim that they have suflicieut funds on hand to re ge the 200 men od out for seven months. Brooks Brothers say that they have no desire to reduce wages, but claim the right to diseharge incompetent men without being overruled by the Tailors’ Union.

William Raabe, boatkeeper of the pilot boat Caprices made yesterday the following statement of the circum. stances under which that craft was run down bySth¢ steamer New Orleans, near Fort Hamilton, at five o'clock Jast Sunday morning: When I saw the steamer New Orleans I could not well make out what she was and 1 had no time to show any kind of signal. The steamer was under such a force of headway that she was right into us befora we could do anything to save the Caprice. The steamer ran straight into us, striking the pilot boat in the main rigging and at the starboard beam. The stem of the New Orleans came first in contact with the mainmast; this went overboard o@ the port side. The Caprice, carried away by the force the corcussion, keeled — over on her port side, so that thé water came over the yaw! to the hatches, I was under the sail when tne boat was struck; the mast and sail went over the port side into the water, and the boom remained on the starboard side, held tast by the sheet. As soon as pos- sible Lmade trom under the sail, but do not revollect how this was effected. We then turned the starboard yawl afloat’ I should have retharked that before the Steamer struck us she did not blow her whistle, but after the collision she whistled. After the collision the steamer backed her engives and got clear of the wreck. ‘ho Caprice did not float more than a minute after she collided with the New Orleans; she righted again after heeling over on the port beam, ‘filled rapidiy with water, gave a lurch and settled down easily just whore the ‘steamer came in contact with her, There were five of us off board the Caprice. These are:—Harry Story, John McAntnney, Jamos Conklin, . Johnston, seamen; and John Farrier steward I hailed the steamer in as loud a voice as I couid, and called out for that vessel not to go away without taking uson board, We were then in the upper bay, a little way above Fort Hamilton. The steamer waited, and, giving us a rope, we went up the vessel’s port side one after the other, I was the last to leave the Caprice and the second last to board the New Orleans, ‘The captain of the New Orleans demanded of me why 1 did not show a flash I'ght. I said this was not possivie; we had not time to display any signal, and asked if ha did not see our green light? To which that captain replied that he had, and added that he ‘could not heip it’? We reacted the dock at about half-past seven o’clock on Sunday morning. i A STORY OF PERSECUTION. MR, M'DONALD'S LITTLE CLAIM FOR DAMAGE AND THE TROUBLE IT HAS CAUSED, Atgustine R. McDonald, an Englishman by birth, of good address and apparently about forty-eight years of age, was arrested yesterday in South Brooklyn on a charge of subornation of perjary. He was jound by Deputy Sheriff Hardy and Detective Mahoney, of the Third precinct, in a house on Henry street, near First place, where he has been staying for several weeks, The authority upon which the authorities acied was a requisition for McDonald from the Governor of the State of Arkansas, The prisoner, who is still a British subject, came to the United States, from England before the war and went South, where he is said to have expended a large amount of nioney. As a British subject he ap- peared, itis alleged, before the Mixed Commission at Newport, R. L, and presented to that body a claim for $93,000. ’ He alleged that he purchased a great deal of eviton in the Siates of Arkansas and Louisiana, aud that in 1865 his cotton was destroyed by the iederal troops. Over 100 witnesses testified as to the claim, and in the month of September, 1873, it was allowed and paid. One-half the amount paid wag in gold. McDonald is now accused of having bribed the witnesses who testified in his behalf before tha Mixed Commission. Mr. McDonakt claims to have ro- sided in Brooklyn the last two years. He says that had he known the Governor of Arkan: wanted him he would have gone on to see him at once. Last sum- mer, he states, he heard that certain parties had got np this charge for the parpose of blackmailing him, and as soon as he heard of it he consdlited his counsel at Washington, ¢x-Judge Ray, to whom he proposed to go down at once and confront his accusers. Kay ordered him not to do so, as the report was mercly a rumor to influence certain civil suits that wera Pending. | Two years ago a charge of perjury wat ought against him, and @ requisition from the Gov- érnor of Louisiana obtainod for his extradition, but as the moving parties ascertained that he had never taken an oath in that State the case was abandoned. In a deposition made in a suit begun by Hovey and Dole against McDonald it was declared that the object of the requisition was to have the soner assassinated on the way to Arkansas. The obj er) he says, was to cet control of his affairs. McDonald denounces the pres. ont movement, He bas been soneet, he says, for the past (Wo years by assassing, has frequently re- ceived threatening letters, 5 The prisoner was removed to the Raymond Stroet al THE REDUCTION OF SALARIES IN BROOKLYN. The employ és of the Kings county government, whose salaries it is proposed to reduce, have publisbed an care Dest protest against the measure. The class proposed to be reached aro faithful and efficient servitors of the pub. lic, who have given up every other employment. It ig contended that retrenchment can best be obtained by cutting down the departments which are top. heavy with high #alariql commissioners and sump- tuous quarters. There is one common level below which official pay cannot be reduced, and that level is the decent support of a family. Tho essential expenses of a family are not far from the same with rich and poor. A ton of coal, a pound of butter, a pair of chil. dren’s shoes costs the clerk exactly the same as the head. of his department, who is receiving $10,000 por year, When you cat down the clerk you draw blood; when you cut down the head of a depart. ment you only trifle with bis saperfiuity. The amount Proposed to be saved to the county by reducing the More humble officials ts $45,000, or about thirty-five cents upon $4,000 worth of property. It is a reproach that ander the present circomstances of Brooklyn Kings county that gentlemen of leisure and publia Spirit are not permitted to govern the higher depart. Tents without compensation, as an abundance of them are willing and able to do, The gratuitous services of the Boards of Aldermen and Supervisors would effect a saving to the treasury of $61,000. The report of tho Salary Committees of the Board of Supervisors, on the oo inction will be made the special ordor of siness at the meeting to-day. BROOKLYN'S WATER SUPPLY.
