VIEWS OF THE ST. LOUIS DELEGATES ON THE DOCUMENT. After the ceremony of Governor Tilden’s acceptance was over, the views of some of the delegates were ob- tained relative to Governor Hayes? letter of acceptance published on Monday last. ‘The following are selected from a number of couversations, as showing the ay age sentiment:— HENRY H. GILYRY, OF ORBGOX, Hon. Henry H. Gilfry, who is private secretary to the Governor of Oregon und a delegate to the St, Louis Convention, in speaking of the prospects of the State being carried for Tilcen and Hendricks said:—“The den und Hendrieks was received in Oregon with the wildest enthusiasm, as they were the first and only choice of & great majority of the democratic voters there, while the avnouncement of the nominations of Hayes and Wheeler (feel like a wet blanket om the popular fovling.

In the event of the election of Tilden and Hendricks, the administration in its efforts im the cause of retrench- ment aud reform will receive no healthier support from the representatives of any State than from our dis- tinguished Senators, Coke and Maxey, as well as from all our representatives in the Lower House, HERVERT N. MANE, OF MARYLAND. Mr. Herbert N. McLane, who was chairman of the jand delegation at the St. Louis Convention, when for his views on Hayes? letter said, that he be. lieved it to bea very weak maniiesto, Especially on the financial plank did it show very feeble views, It professed to be in favor of resumption of specie pay- iment, and yet it was weil known that in the true sense of Such resumption it was not sincere. | Democrats meant by resumption of specie payment | the payment of a dollar iu gold tor a greenback, but the republicans did not mean this.

In fact, he did not care very much to enter the canvass for Gov- ernor nor for Congress when the party called upon him. Hayes was a man who could be very easily swayed. Ho had no will power, no strong resolve needed for the work to be done in purifying the gov- ernment. He was a friend of Grant, aud Grant hked him. He indorsed Grant’s administration, as appeared im the passage in his address which referred to the civil service. Mr. Collins thought that the reference in Hayes’ Iet- ter to the resumption of specie payment would not hurt the republican candidate iu Obio, becaase the people there hud been gradually coming to believe firmly in the resumption of specie payment. The reference to the school question, be thought, was mere ciaptrap and only a sequence to _ the Dos Moines speech of Grant—were petifogy. The roference to the civil service was evidently put in to please Schurz and his friends and meant very little. Taken altogether the letter was both weak and” pornt- less, and neither stirred up ambition in republicans nor excited the minds of democrats, Hayes was never in harmony with the Iiberal spirit of the State or country. K L. MERRITT, OF ILLINOI, Mr. E. L. Merritt, editor of the State Register, Spring- field, [i., and a delegate from Illinois to St. Louis, pronounced the Hayes letter to be very weak. He beheved that it would do hire serious hurt in Iilinois, | Itdid not como up tairly to the issues, but shrunk away from the vital points, On’ the finance tion he did not meet the full require- taents of his own party, either specie or inflavronist. The introduction of the school ques- tion was claptrap, as everybody understood and his promises for civil service reform contingent and un- defined. The leiter was a very weak one, PERRY I, 83TH, OP CHICAGO. from Chi¢ago to St. the Hayes Intter to be without any 38 onany of the points touched upon, He ht the promised reform in office-holding was a mere bid for the votes and Influence of oftice-holders— Grant's friends.

Kach State would regulate any dis- agreements that might be introduced into the religious elements of the population, and no trouble would arise. He felt that there was no real meaning in the proposed resumption of specie pay- ment, aad thatthe canvass would develop that tact, Hie believed that the democrats were sure ot Wiseon- sin, and that there was but litle doub! of Indiana.

AN OLD FARMER AND HIS WIFE GAGGED AND ILL TREATED—TWENTY TUBS OF BUTTER AND A HORSE AND WAGON STOLEN—RECOV= ERY OF THE PROPERTY. Pout Hicksoy, Pa, July 11, 1876. Jared Wells and his wife, old people, live on a farm three miles from this place, on the main road. Their son, Jobn Weils, lives a mile further ov, On Friday three men, decentiy dressed, stopped at the farm and asked for something to eak Mrs. Weils gave them a good dinner The men were good talkers and as they ate optained from the old lady the infor- mation thatshe and her husband lived alone; that iney made and shipped quite an amount of butter from their farm and that there was then forty (tubs in tho cellar to be sent away nextday. The men went on their way after dnishing their meal, About ten o'clock at night old Mr. Wells was awakened by a loud+ knock atthe front door. He got up and asked, ‘Who is there?” Some one replied, “John.” The old turmer, supposing it was his son, who wis on bis way home from the village, opened thedoor, Three men instantly rushed into the room, and he was knockea down, bound and gagged betore he conid say a word. Mrs. Wells was also secured iu tho same manner. The men then ransacked the house, from garret to cellar. From the latter place Mr. and Mrs. Wells could hear them rol ing tabs of butier up the steps outside. When they had secured what plan- der they could the men sbut and locked the | door of the house and left without saying | a word to the helpless ‘old couple. Shortly | afterward a wagon drove upto the door, Into this the farmer and bis wile could hear them loading the bat- | ter, and im a tew minutes it rumbled off down the road, | | About ten o'clock next imoroing John Wells, the son, drove up to the old people's house to load up the butter that was ready for stipment. He was compelled to | | | burst in the door to get in the house, where he found | his father and mother lying ob the floor as | they had been leit by the thieves. He re- moved their bonds and gag as soon as posstble, but they were so ili from ther long suffering that It was some time before they could offer any explanation of their condition. It was then discovered that the thieves had secured $75 in money, and bad taken twenty tubs of butter, They had driven away | with “these in @ one-horse wagon, While these | discoveries wet being made, Walter Jackson, a jarmer, living a mile and a half back io the hills, drove up and said that bis barn bad been entered the NM hd before and robbed of a valuable young horse, toge:her with barneas and Nght spring wagon. It was plain that the horse thieves were the same that had committed the robbery at Wells’, Parties were sent as soon as possible to look for traces of the thieves in all direc- tions. John Wells and Jackson came to this place and obtained the services of Consta- ble Burns. About noon they ot a truck of the men in the road leading from the mine rovd to | Millersville, They were followed to that place, five miles distant, and almost the tirst object seen on en- tering the village was Jackson’s horse and wagon standing tn front of Welling’s tavern. Tne butter had been removed from the wugon, The constab entered the tavern, where he learned {rom the landiord that the horse and wagon’ had been left tied in front of ibe house early in the forenoon by three men, who entered the barroom, took a drink and walked out, since which time they had not put in an appearance. They were strangers, but their move- ments bad created no suspicion.’ Soon afterward | Wells learned that a groceryman named Crozier | hod that’ mormmg purchased a number of ot butter. ‘These proved to be the twenty tubs stolen from the old _ farmer. Crozier said that a man had driven up to his siore | about eight o'clock im the morning with tne butter, | He eaid he lived back of the mine rond, and tha; ho | bad mado a trade with oid Mr. Wells of | | me farm im- plemenis for the butter, He wanted to sell it, and Crozier bought the lot, paying the siran- ger, who gave his name ‘as Wiliams, nearly $200 in cash, Crozier had also agreed to return the tabs as soon as empty to Mr. Wells. He had not the slightest suspicion that the butter had been stolen, the man’s manner was so assuring and his statements so circumstantial. The parties bad evidently been smart enough not to offer the horse and wagon for sale anywhere. No trace of them has been found since they left the tavern. They ‘were no doubt the three tramps who stopped at the farmer's on Saturday. THE CANAL SUITS. ——+ * CASE O¥ THE PEOPLE V8. DENXISON, BELDEN ET AL. BEFERRED TO EX-JUDGE EMMOTT, JUDGE COUNTRYMAN AND GEORGE B, HID- BURD, . Auuaxy, July 11, 1876. The extraordinary circuit, cailed by Governor Tilden to try the case of the People vs, Henry. D. Dennison, James J, Belden ot al, convened here to-day, Justice Daniels presiding. Justice Daniels stated thas he un- derstood from Justice Westbrook, who would not be Present, that two juries had been summoned; he also intimated that the plaintiffs were not particular before which the case was tried, but would leave the choice tu the defendants. Mr. Ruger.for the defence, sald,tlrey should object to both juries at the proper time Mr. Henry Smith, who bad been employed by the de- fendants hud devoted a g Geaj of time to the case, was taken Sick about six Weeks ago, and, although sv fur recovered as to be present in court to-day, was | totally uniit to go on with the suit, expecuily in | this weather. He suid it was a season of the year when the legal fraternity were in the habit of taking a vacution, and he would suggest a postponement to some more agreeable time, Judge Daniels said so much time would be required by the case, and tho judges were so generally occupied Inter in the season, that solely on account of tho disa- greeable weather he did not think it advisable to post- pone; but, on account of Mr. Smith's health, perhaps it would be better to adjourn for two weeks, when that gentleman hopes to have regained his usual health, Attorney General Fairciild raid the defendants had other able counsel besides Mr. Smith, and it was im- portant that tuis case should be tried now; as, later in the geason, it would be almost impossible to secure the Attendance of a judge. Mr. Hale, who was associated with the Attorney General, said that, in either case, it was unnecessary that both struck juries should be kept. Judge Daniels said be supposed the Attorney General was at liberty to move the case in either court. After some other consultation, the jurors in the ex- traordinary circuit were discharged, and tho roll ot jurors in toe regular circuit was called; but not ono anewered, It afterward transpired that they had not been nouilied to be present. Tt was, at length, agreed to refer the case to ox-Judgo Emmott, of New York, Judge Countryman, of Coopers- town, and George B, Hibbard, of Buffalo, If euher . and the counsel cannot agree upon a the case will be tried witha jury on the lst of August, (o which date the Circuit and Specil were adjourned, INTER-STATE BOUNDARY, COMMISSIONERS NAMED TO MARK THE LINE BE- i TWEEN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY.

Panis, Juno 27, 1876 There is much gossip here about the appearance of the Duke of Aumale at the Academy Jast Tharsday, the day of M. Jules Simon’s reception, Sf. Simon repro- sents the most advanced sectioa of the liberal repub- lican party, he1s “a man of the 4th of September,” aud his enemies donot seruple to brand him as a socialist and a secret. sympathizer with the Commune, Why then, it is asked, should the Duke of Aumale have hurried up to Paris from w distant military command to do special honors to the radical Academician? Per- haps the simplest answer would be that His Royal Highness merely wished to pay a mark of respect to one of the first thinkers of France, irrespectively of all party considerations Rumor, however, is not 80 easily satisfied with a plain reason, and will have is that the grandson of Philippe Egalté seeks to play an ambitious part under the Republic, since his cousin of Frobsdorff and his staid and tranquil. nephew have made the monarchy impossible between them. Andas the only way to power, for the present ,is to accept the Republic frankly and even enthusiastically, 1t 18 thought the Duke of Aamale may imtend to pass before the world asa sincere liberal If this be the case, the amusing spectacle will be presented of Jerome Napo- leon Bonaparte and “Henry of Orleans” endeavoring to outbid each other for the votes of the domocracy. Such is tho irony of fate. For the rest, M. Simon's inaugural discourse commanded universal admiration, It consisted, according to inviolable precedent, of an euloginm on M, de Rémusat, whom the orator was clected to succeed, and gave M. Simon an opportunity to introduce a panegyric of ‘*M. Thiers.” ‘The eml- neat map,” who was present as one of M. Simon’s sponsors, wept like a child at the eloquent pertoda. which described how he had paid his country’s rade som and delivered the soil of France from the pollu- tion of a foreizn occupation. M. John Lemoinne, usually so calm and impassable, was ulso moved to tears, Among the spectators were remarked M.

Yet many Frencb- men would be only too glad to seo a reasonable law of divorce adopted by the two houses. From the 20th of September, 1792, till the 8th of May, 1816—that is, under the first Republic aud Empire and for nearly a year of the reign of Louis XVIL1.— divorce was made extremely easy by French law. The violent reaction against liberal principles which set in after the second restoration im 1815 compelied the King’s Minister's to sanction a repeal of tno existing statute, and since then no government, however lib- eral 1m theory, has ventured to rouse the hostility of the Catholic clergy by a proposal tu revert to the old law, Should the Republic last, however, M.
