4 A MAINE MYSTERY. A Woman Murdered ina Lonely House. SIX WEEKS UNDISCOVERED, An Exciting Trialand Strange Testimony. oe AGITATION AMONG THE PEOPLE. Rocknanp, Me., Nov. 23, 1878. Although this stormy northwestern coast has not y charms for the pleasure seeker, yet in first $ sensations there are no more fruitful shores. It ess than a year since the Cimbria entered a neigh- boring harbor and attracted thither the attention of 2 large portion of the world, and at the present time there is in an adjacent town a more local but not less exciting On December 22, 1871, at about si irs. Sarah H. Meservey, lady about forty-five years old, was seen on her way to the Post Office in Tenants’ Harbor, a small Village in the town of St. Geor n tis county, when she disappeared from the public-eye and was not heard of for nearly six weeks. At the-end of that ‘time she was found in her house murdered. The husband of Mrs, Meservey “followed the-sea,”” and ronsequently she passed a great deal of ‘her time at Dome alone, as she had no children. At this time her Dusband, Captain Luther H. Meservey, was at sea, ‘The house in which she lived was in the outskirts of the village and about midway between the parsonage and the residence of Mark Wall, which are nearly two hundred fect apart. She was of an eccentric dispo- sition, went little among the neighbors,-occasionally would start away on a long visit without announcing it to anybody, and conseqnently her absence excited at first but little attention, The curtains of the win- dows were drawn down, andeverybody who knew her babits concluded that she had gone away-on 4 visit. THE DEAD BODY DISCOVERED, At length, however, it was deemed advisable to wter her house. On January 29, 1878, about five and half weeks after her disappearance, several men visited the premises and entered the kitchen through w window which they pried open. Here everything was in confusion, but nothing was found to excite suspicion. The men continued their search, and on entering the next room their attention was at first attracted to what appeared to be a heap of clothing in the middle of the floor. They approached, andsoon found that it was Mrs. Meservey, frozen and dead. The windows were immediately uncurtained and a Dlanket, which covered the body, removed, and there Jay the woman with her hands tied behind her neck, her hair matted with blood and an intensely agoniz- ing expression upon ber face. A coroner was im- mediately summoned, who, after an examinatgon of the case, decided that a murder had been com- mitted. The woman had on the same calico dress in which she was seen on December 22, and she‘had not yet removed her rubbers, which gave ground for the suspicion that she had found a man in the honse on her return from the Post Office, who was probably there for the purpose of robbery, There was every indication of a terrible struggle. Chairs, bed, table aud mirror were smashed to pieces, and the walls the room were stained with blood. Around the throat of the woman was tightly wound ‘thrice the scart which she usually wore. It was this that evidently caused her death; for, while her head was severcly cut and her body bruised, none_of these ‘wounds were of a fatal character. Mrs. Meservey was ‘woman of great personal strength, and had it not ‘been for the scarf which was about her neck when the entered the house it is probable that. she Wonld not heave been overcome. The knots in the scarf bebind her neck were tied in a square and nest manner, a8 also was the cod line thet bound her hands, These facts indicated that the murderer wae probably a sailor; but the circumstances were not wach as to indnce the belief that lust was the motive for the murder, TRACTS OF THE MURDERER, The Coroner poset up from the floor of the room 8 (orn piece of brown paper, marked on the outwide evng 24," and on the inside was written, in ‘® coarse, irregular and evidently disguised hand, the ing:—"Leame os A Woraon She was out and I word illegible) till She sensation. of me back not for mony but I Kiled her.” There were other indications that a woman bad committed the deed. The face of the oman had been carefully washed, and several “is and bose hed been used, apparently to wipe ber face, In o waeh basin was some frozen Dlcody water, in which the “damned spots’ on the ds of the murderer had probubly been washed out, « of blood had, so far ax was possible, been re- anoved from tue chairs and walls. A window sash in the L was so broken as to indicate that the doer of the deed had found ingress there. A side door was vafterward discovered to have been unlocked, and thia ‘tended to prove that the house had been entered at window during Mi absence, sud on her return she unloc! door, which was the nm entering the front derer. Of course these borhood into » frenzy of facts threw the whole ne excitement. bout one-third of the ves detectives. The ing two-thirds p i the greatest confidence in their own shrewdness, and while not professional detectives, deem themselves most promising ane teurs. Allthese men bent their mighty genius to evolving & theory, and each man wrought out one. And woe to that man who was not at sea in those days. Nearly every man in town was suspected. Finally the most overwhelming amount of suspicion “was concentrated on one Nathan F. Hart, a married man of nearly fifty years and « resident of that town. He was arrested, arraigned and finally the tneand dary brought in @ trae bill against him. it is true that there were not many nor very weighty Facts against him: but excessive suspicion will make ® very little evidence go along way. The evidence against Hart at the trial wae put in by the govern- stantially as follows:—The murder and the if it were proven, aa above set forth; there vel were no sirange mon or strange vessels in port at the time of the murder; that Hart bad a knowledge of the promiges, and was absent from his Louse between Bix and eight o'clock on the evening of December 22 sod counsel for the proveention claimed that Hart, thinking that Mrs. Meservey bad lett her house for the purpose of attending @ ing that was held that Hight, emered her honse for the purpore of rob- bery; that he was surprised at her sudden retarn home, and killed het to conceal his robbery. Bone testimony was introdneed to prove that on the tvening of 2ith Hart left home st halt-past etebt with the « ible purpose of carrying a Christmas }resent to arelative about three miles distant, and at he did not return until eleven o'clock.

THE DEFENCE. ‘This was substantially the case of the government. There was some more evidence introduced that was even more puerile, if possible, than some of the evi- dence above giveu, but while probably potent with the excited jury, it does uot deserve repetition here. On looking over this evidence it is strange that the Court admitted a large share of it, and still more strange that the presiding Judge did not order an ac- quittal. Evidence was introduced by the defence to account for his time on the evenings of the 224 and 24th. The statements testified to by gov- erument wituesses were in part denied und in pert explained without denial, Hart took the stand in his own defence and testified that he wasat home all the evening of December 22; that he speut part of the evening of the 4th at home and part at the Neck, whither he went to carry a cloak and dress to his grandchild. But the testimony for the defence that was entitled to the most weigit was that of A. R. Dunton, an expert in handwriting. ‘The anonymous letters and brown paper note were placed in Mr. Dunton's hands before the mdictrnent was found, and also the logbooks were given to him by the prosecuting attorney. The staternent was made to Mr. Dunton by the government counsel that the logbook was in the handwriting of Mr. Hart. Mr. Dunton accordingly examine these documents and swore before the Grand Jury that the anony- mous letters, the note and the first five pages of one of the logbooks were in the same handwriting; he had since ascertained that the first tive poues of the logbook were not in Hart's writing, and therefore Hart did not write the anony- mous letters and the note, Witness explained to the jury in detail the diffcrences between the writing in the anonymous letters and in letters acknowledged to be Hart's; the writing in the first five pages of the logbook he believed to be that of Captain A. K. Mes- ervey, the brother-in-law of the prisoner and cousin of the murdered woman. Three envelopes which had upon them some writing which Captain Meservey ad- mitted to be his were shown Dunton, Witness testi- fied that the writing on the envelopes was by the same hand as the brown paper note und the anonymous letters. Considerable testimony was introduced to break down the evidence of Dunton, who had first been employed by the government, and who turned against it and testified for the defence. It was shown thet Dunton on examining the writing had seid that he was as sure that Hart committed the murder as if he had confessed it. This, however, Dunton ex- plained by saying that the first five "pages of the log- book were given to hima as a standard of Hart's writ- ing, and that he gave his opinion accordingly, but that he was still as strongly convinced as ever that the man who wrote the log wrote the brown paper note. The defence also introduced a number of wit- nesses to testify to Hart’s character, which was shown to be good. HART FOUND GUILTY. On the 7th of October last the case was given to the jury, who, after a deliberation of an hour and a half, brought i verdict of “Guilty of murder in the first degree. Neither the prisoner nor his wife dis- played sny emotion wheu the verdict was first an- nounced, The counsel for the defence concluded to make no motion for anew trial and the @urt, ina few severe words, passed sentence upon the prieoner. As the death penalty in Maine has been abolished, the sentence was to hard labor in the State Prison for tite, When the sentence was passed Mrs. Hart, who had previously controled herself, broke down ‘com- pletely. Hart also, who bad been’ tranquil and com- posed, wept like a child and said:—“Is it possible? is at possible? God have mercy upon mo! Neighbors, don’t think of me as a murderer.” WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK. But although the man has been convicted and sen- tenced the excitement is aow higher than ever, and many believe that the right men has not yet been se- cured, It is claimed thet it required a monstrous amount of credulity on the part of the jury to be- lieve that Hart while in jail couid have written the two anonymous letters ‘and have them mailed, the one at Providence, the other at Philadetphia. Furthermore, the fact that Mr. Dunton, who is au ex- pert of the highest standing, should have changed sides when he discovered thatthe beginning of the logbook was not in the handwriting of Hurt, is most influential in Hart's behalf before the community at large. The dream and the statements of Hart as tes- tified to by excited neighbors seem, in the opinion of many, scarcely worthy of consideration. Mr. Dunton has very recently published in a local paper a statement nearly four columns in th, in which he main- tains that Hart is innocent. He first publishes testi- morials to his ability as an expert from ex-Goveruor Gaston and some of the first men at the Boston Bar; he then states that he has no doubt whatever that the beginning of the logbook, which Captain Meservey testified was kept by Hart, was written by Meservey himself, and that Meservey, therefore, wrote the brown paper note and the two anonymous letters; that Meservey, being at liberty, could easily manage to have the letters mailed in distant cities. He further makes disclosnres thet do not piace Hart's counsel in a very good light. This lawyer had announced to Duuton that he would prove beyond a doubt that Meservey wrote the anony- ynous letters; that when he (Dunton) went on the stand and came to the part of the testimony where he mentioned Meservey as the author of the letiers the lawyer motioned to him to stop; that he (Dnn- ton) persisted, and the attorney came over to him and whispered to him not to go into that matter; that his (Dunton's) testimony was altogether uncorrobo- rated on this point, and, from the sudden way in which counsel dropped that clew, it rather injared than helped Hart in the eyes of the jury. Duntoa further states that this attorney had a conversa- tion with Meservey and his wife on the evening preceding the day on —_ which Dunton testified, and that it could be proven that Mrs. Meservey fainted at a disclosure that was made. On the next morning the counsel for Hart — ne okie abandoned his plan, which was to prove that Meservey bad written the fatal note. The Case is exciting the greatest interest throughout the State, and it will have the effect certainly of making courts more careful when the evidence is circum- stantial, and certainly more relnetant to convict when the testimony is that of experts, Duntou ix very severe in his denunciation of Hart's attorm and he invites a suit for libel that the facts may be judicially investigated. Captain Meservey strenvionsly maintains that Hart is innocent. He further asserts that there are two por- sons living in the town of St. George who separately. tried to gain admission to the house where Mrs. Meservey lay dead while it was under guard, and that neither was called to testify at the trial. The ye here are awaiting with great imterest the threatened libel suit, that Mr. Dunton mey have an opportunity te prove his charges. HIS LITTLE STORY. A YOUNG MAN WITH A VERY LIVELY TMAGINA- TION OR WHO HAS HAD A ROUGH EXPE- ‘RIPKCE. * On Saturday night @ man giving his name as An- dreas Gobhantt, thirty-three years of age and of de- cidedly intelligeut appearance and conversation, called atthe Second precinct police station of Newark fm wearch of a night's lodging. He told the sergeant in charge the following strange story which, assum- ing it to be correct, is another proof that “truth is stranger than fiction.” Said Gebhardt in sub- stance: — “A ite while before Ieame here to the station I seriously contemplated suicide.

Ambniance Surgeon Fleming was at once summoned and the wound was discovered to be ten inches in Wength and one inchin depth. The injured man gave his name as Thomas McCleary, of No. 20 Kent ave- nue, and he and those who bore him said that during A fight in Raunch’s ealoon, at No. 21 Wythe avenue, ho had been cut by one Henry MeLoughlin, Sergeant Hallett aud Offver Hoadley at once went down and found MeLoughlin still in the saloon, but too drunk to know anything abont what was going on about him.

INTTRESTING MEETING IN THE FORTY-FOURTH STREET SYNAGOGUE—APPEAL OF THE RABBI DE SOLA MENDES AGAINST INNOVATION, The members and trustees of the Congregation Shaarai Tephila held a meeting last evening in the basement of their splendid synagogue in West Forty-fourth street, to take action on the financial embarrassmenta of the corporation. The building was dedicated in 1869, ond the debt is $96,000, For some time, owing @o the business depression which was felt by some of the members, removals to other districts and death the number of members has been redneed. ‘The younger members of the congregation advocated repeatedly the introduction of the pew system, the organ and trained choir, instead of the present sys- tem of the men and Doys sitting below and the women and girls in the gallery, the children being free. By making the service more attractive, 80 as to gain new members, each gentleman having to pay for a pew for himself and family, instead of only pay- ing for himself and wife, they argued, would increase the revenue and get them over the financial difficulty. The elder members were opposed to the change, chiefly on the ground that the pew system and the seating gether of the sexes was a departure from ancient Jew- ish customs, There are twenty-five synagogues in the city, of whieh five have organs and the pew systew. These are the most fashionable and wealthy. Under thease circumstances about fifty members met yesterday, The meeting was protracted, but very quiet, all test questions as to pew or no pew being avoided during the discussion, so that it was unde- termined how the majority stood as to that point. TRUE TO TRADITION. President Hart read to the meeting a letter from the rabbi, Rev. Dr. Mendes, in which he wrote:— Gextiawen—L have tried to school myself to think of yews in Shaarai Tephila withont abhorrence ; to regard them fx a novossary evil, pationtly to be submitted to, and [have utterly failed, On'the contrary, the more L lve weighed the mutter the more distinet and yawning has appenred the division between thers pews and 0 an ook far buck Inga our people's regulations en lic worship and I find pews forbidden.

Di SOLA MENDES. The reading of this letter was followed by applause. The result was that about $5,000 was proutised on the spot toward $15,000, which would reduce the floating debt so that all would be smooth financially, A committee of ten was then appointed, representing both sides, with the hope of making a compromise so far as to have an organ and trained choir, on the model of the Berkley Street Synagoguo in London, which has an organ and choir, but no pews. The committee will report to a meeting next Sunday af- ternoon. DESPERATE WITH TROUBLE. THE COMPLICATED EVENTS THAT LED CHARLES E. POITER TO ATTEMPT THE LIFE OF MiSs. JONES. Three or four years ago there lived in one of tho by-streets in the npper part of Manhattan Island a widow named Jones, who was in humble circum- stances, but seemed to make a constant and heroic stfuggle to maintain “her respectability, Her family consisted of herself and four children, one of whom was a boy. The eldest was Lily, a girl of attractive appearance, then abont fifteen, just emerging from the innocence of the child into the consciousness of the woman, She had many sewi- juvenile admirers, and accepted with the true fem- inino relish’ the attentions which were layished upon her by her male schoolmates. Scon, however, be formed acquaintances of a more serious ianport. She grew mer with every day of her life until et sixteen she was a picture of a certain type of American beauty. Her huir was brown, but she had large blue eyes that carried a wealth of varying ex- pression in their depths. 4 NEW FRIEND. Among her new friends was a young man named Charies E. Potter, who belonged to a we!l connected family, somewhat above her level, and lived in the same neighborhood, They met in the most casual and mattet-of-fact way, but very soon, for one of them at least, their iuterconrse assumed the color sentiment of romance. He fell in love with her and she did not reject his addresses. Tho old story of human weakness follows. She fell and tue dream changed. His love for her died an easy desth, being no longer supported by a feeling of respect fou upon the notion that he ‘was supreme in her heart. He continued to visit her, but no longer to speak of marriage. The mother grew alarmed at indications which are earliest patent to @ mother's eye, and finding that he would not make her his wife in his face and began an action at TWO LEGAL ACTIONS, Some time last spring Judge Murray, then sitting ¢ Jefferson Market Court, issued a warrant for of bastardy, and he was brought before him ond held to bail. The amination wes proceeded with, but on ap- plication of his counsel, Mr. Douglas Levein, it was adjourned until September, Evidence had already been addneed by the defence which did not better Miss Jones’ reputation. In the meactime Mosers. Howe and Hummel had begun a enit for the mother for $10,000 damayes for breach of promise and seduction. The order of arrest was made by Judgo Joreph Donohue, of the Sn- preme Conrt, against’ Mr. Charice E. Potter, and his bail was fixed at $3,000. It was supplied by his uncle, the. secretary of | the New York Mutual Gas Light Company, by whom both Potter and his brother arc —— as collectors. On the 12th of September Mr. Huminel appeared be- fore Judge Murray at the Tombs and secured a post- ponement of the examination in the first case on ac- count of the delicate condition of the complainant. Both actions are still gong Miss Jones, it is al- leged, is now confined to her bed under peculiar cir- cumstances, A TRAGIC ¥RENZY.

It is alleged that | he bas frequently threatened her, and had lately | hannted the vicinity of her house as if lying in wait.

Officer Devnis Ford, of the Twenty-third precinct, followed her m, and she stated that Potter had met her in the street, and, after firing a pistol at her head, had run away in the direction of Third avenue.

DEATH OF THOMAS ARKWRIGHT, WHO IMAGINED THE WEST SIDE RESORT BELONGED TO HIM— HE WILLS IT TO HIS HEIRS. ‘The little children who seek recreation in Washing- ton square every atternoon have for some days past missed one of their best friends, The tall, wel! made old gentleman, who had such a cheerful face aryl exch venerable gray hair and whiskers, who talked to them so merrily and gently, and who lavished among them such treasures of fruit and sweetmeats will not be seen again in Washington square. ‘Their benefactor died last Thursday and his body was conveyed to its last resting place on Satur- day. His name was Thomas Ashbel Arkwright; he was well known to all residing in the neighborhood of the square, and it is not the children alone that will be grieved to hear of his death, Though @ man of very eccentric habits and ideas he possessed 80 many sterling qualities of heart and disposition that all who knew him held friendly feelings towerd him, and rogarde‘ even his strangest peculiarities with a sort of respect. One of his most singular notions, and that through which he became most generally known, was the belief that he hig? 4 prietor in fee simple of Washington square, is dciusion dated from the period when South Fifth avenue was first laid out, A VICTIM OF PROGRESS. Born in 1909 at Pontefract, in Yorkshire, England, he established himself in business as a wagon builder in this city At an early age, His affairs prospered, andin a short time he realized a moderate independence and was able to purchase a nice little house in Laurens street, and settled there with his wife and family, hoping to spend the later years of his. life in quiet enjoyment of the fruits of his industry. But about ten years ago a band of innovators ap- eared to upset the scheme of his life with their new Epon propositions. ‘They commenced an agitation for the opening of the thoroughfare now known a8 South S14h greatie. A cofservative by nature he made a most *biiter fight against the new strect. Everybody knows the result. Laurens street lives now only in the memory of a few of the older inhabitants of the city, But Thomas Arkwright’s. mind never wholly recovered from the effects of the disastrons change. He became affected with the monomania above de- scribed, and though he never made any active oppo- sition to the use of his imaginary Property for ablic purposes, he watched it with an untiring care. is faunity have a couple of hundred notebooks filled with memoranda of broken shrubs, trampled grass plots and detaaged pathways in Washington square, concerning which he from time to time presented memorials to the Park Commissioners. Thess docu- ments were always prepared in clalorate legal form. He would begin:—“I, Thomas Ashbel Arkwright, proprietor in fee simple of the propert known ag Washington square, unjustly deprived of said ay y, but submitting to the oy for the public weal, claim the right to make the following recom: mendations.” His will affords another illustration of the fixity of his belicf that he was a great public ben- efactor, After dividing all hiv real property between his son and daughter he enjoins them to allow the city the use of the park as long as it is needful, He permits themselves to enjoy it during summer, but Porbids them in the most solemn terms to ever pay a cent of taxes for it. HIS ENEMIFS, He cannot be said to have lived on terms of charity with all men.

CATHARIKE HESS, OF FLUSHING, CONFINED AS A LUNATIC AND AFTERWARD RELFASED-—-WAS IT CONSPIRACY ? Some days ago the case of Catharine Hest, of Flush- ing, was brought to the attention of the Board of Supervisors of Queens county by Dr. David Rogers, superintendent of the County Lunatic Asylum at North Hempstead. He stated that she had been im- properly committed to the asylum as s lunstic, there being no evidence whatever in her physical condition or actions to show thatshe was of unsound mind. Inquiry since made leads to the belief that her committal to the asylum was procured by improper means and by persons who de- | signed to obtain possession of her property, which, is understood to include several thousand dollars in cash. It is the opinion of both the superintendent of the asylum end the visiting physician, Dr. Philip M. Wood, that she had been drugged previous to her examination by the Commission in Lanacy. Dr. Rogers states that she was admitted to the asylum on the leh of Ottober last upon an order of L. D. Simons, Superintendent of the Poor, and that subse- quently, on the 29th of October, he received the proper certificate of her lunacy, bared wpon the testi- mony of the doctors who examined her, from County Judgo Jokn J. Armstrong. He had meantime made a thorongh examination of her condition, and had satiated himescif that *be was not a lunatic. It seems that Judge Armstrong had been led to donbdt the pro- as her committal as @ lunatic, as will be seen yy the following correspondence in the case, which ‘was followed by the order for her discharge.

Western Sentiment on the Conrse of New York Bankers, - OMINOUS SUGGESTIONS OF WAR, Possibilities of an Anti-Bank Political Crusade. INTERVIEWS WITH OHIO STATESMEN Crncrnsatt, Nov. 2, 1873, The action of the committee of New York bankers, who met with Secretary Sherman recently to consult about the part the banks are to take in carrying re- sumption into practical effect, has caused no little comment among the business men, the bankers and the politicians here in the central city of the Middle States. It will be remembered that it was here, and more than six months ago, that the first announce- ment was made by a national bank of its readiness to redecm its circulation in gold; and following the ex- ample of that bank a dozen or more gave out that they were willing todo the same thing. And with the example of these Cincinnati banks as a guide to one’s opinion, it is not difficult to predict the success of resumption the country over. In the six months’ time that they have held gold in their vaults to meet their paper they have, all together, paid out about $10,000 to $12,000. ‘THE QUESTION OF SILVER, But while the question of resumption in gold ap- pears to be so nearly settled, there is the concurrent one of what part silver is to take in it, which comes up now and is causing the diseussion. Ohio was fore- most among the Western States in the demand for remonctizing the silver dollar. A yoar ago this de- mand was agreed upon by men of -all parties, and both republiern and democratic members of Congress from this State worked to that end. The time which has since elapsed may have changed the feelings of @ few on this topic, but still it is safe to assume that a large majority of the people of all parties here in the West are still.in favor of “the dollar of the daddies,” as it was christened here, It was both a surprise and a disappointment that this association of New York bankers, acting in con- junction with the Secretary of the Treasury, should at this early day after its remonctization attempt to discriminate against it or try to secure its abolition from the coinage of the country. THURMAN’S OPPORTUNITY. But there is another view of the case, and thatis a political one, which will remove the pangs of disap- pointment from many of the democrats, It gives Senator Thurman an opportunity to commence his fight against the national banke which he will not be slow to improve, A day or two after the Ohio election Senator Thurman was interviewed by the Enquirer, and the interview, was telegraphed to the Henan, in which he took occasion to. announce titat he had commenced a fight against the national banks which he meant to keep up with all the ability he possessed. This will give him a fair footing for a vigorous fight, and he is a good fighter. Here in the West it will set him far in advance of any other Presidential candi- date, whether he wins or not, and his friends are jn- Dilant over this fact. It is regarded by them as a part of the good luck that has uniformly followed him during late years. A few interviews with well known Western men on this silver question will give a good idea of the tone of sentiment. SENATOR STANLEY -MATTHI-WS, Mr. Matthews, who is supposed to be nearer the administration than any ove else, is opposed to this move on the part of the bauks, and does not hesitate to prodict that it willend in arraying the people of the West against them a6 a class, Said Senstor Matthews to-day :— “It is an attempt by the banks to dominate over tho lawmaking power of the government. They say in effect to Congress and the Secretary of the Treasury, ‘If you pass laws that don't snit us we will abrogate them. We don’t want the silver dollar to become a partof the currency of the country, and we will therefore pay no regard to the law which eays it shall be.’ Such a course can only result in antagonizing the peopte against the banks.” “It cannot have the effect they desire, then, that is, to get Com to re the Silver Dollar law?’ epeal “No; that would be impossible. The vote by which that law was passed last winter—you know it passed over the President's veto—will insure its remaining on the statute books. The people are in favor of silver, expecially the people here in the West, and they would never consent to its abolition or its demonetiza tion,” “Then it will open the fight against the national banks?” “If the national banks throughout the country show a disposition to indorsc the action of these New ‘York banks it certainly will array the people against them, because the people feel that they are assuming too great powers when they propore to set aside laws as thought they were not made to affect hem.”” y it not interfere with resumption?” “Ot course, anything that tends to complicate the workings of the proposed pin of resuinption adds to the possibilitios of its failure. It is desirable that all influences should be made to harmonize in bring- ing about a return to specie payments. The banks have to do their part, aud they must be ussisted as far as possible by the business men. Whatever tends to divide these interests makes the problem a more dificult one; bit still it looks now an thongh every- thing would proceed smoothly and resumption be accomplished without any serious trouble.” SFNATOR BECK. Senator Beck, of Kentucky, who has been here fora day or two en route to his home from the Northwest, is more outspoken than Stenley Matthews on the subject :— “ie beeomes a serious matter,” said the Senator, “when the banks can join together and agree to. set aside the law of the land, es though they were not ‘bound to obey it ae well ax any one else. It shows that they feel they are able to control the government of br er to rule, instead of being the subjects of rale.”" “Will they be able to enforce their rile?” “It is likely they will. The power of fifty or sixty banks, such a they, banded together to carry outa certain policy, ia ve it. At times that power has ‘been able to control the poliey of the Tressury. It fe not improbeble that they may be able to keep silver ont, as they propowe to.” “Put can they secure a repeal of the Silver law of Inet winter?” “No, they can not, That law was passed over Hayes’ yoto, and Congress will not repeal it. The bank power is very strong J’ll admit in the Kast, butit can't do anything when it comes to running against the current of public opinion sneh a& wax aroused when we passed the Silver bill overa veto mossage from the President of the United States, Besides this, it will raise a fight against the benks themselvor that will not be wettled It is the very worst thing they coutd® bave done if they expect to continne in exist- cence, It arrays the masses of the people in opposition to them pank or ant!-bank an issue for future campaigns, THEODORE COOK. Mr. Theodore Cook, for many years president of the Fourth National Bank, of Cincinnati, and also o inent demorratic politician, aid :— “I think there will be no trouble in floating twenty or thirty millions in silver dollars provided the gov- ernment will withdraw the one and two dollar ae it ought to, There should be no paper money iewned Jews than five dollars. That would give the silver a chance for cirenlation and still not gake it #80 plenty as to be likely to become a drng.’ “But when the banks announes that they will not take iton deposit, will not that create a prejudice aguinet the banks?” t “It undoubtedly would.” “Aud then what? “It might become a rallying point on which a fight would be made in politics,” “That might heip Thurman materially in his an- nounced fyht against the banks?” “Tt certainly would,” Mr. Cook ix one of Thurman's strongest adherents, He will be remembered ar the well known politician who was a party to the Putin Bay Conference in 1X74, when Thurman was reported to have expreswed his | mind freely and unfavorably as to the conduct of the | soft money campaign in Onlo the year before. Mr. Cook belongs to what is known as the hard money democracy in Ohio, and his opinions are received with consideration not alone in the West, but alao through- out the East, where he is woll known, He and Senator Stanley Matthews, pom flow opposed in politics, formerly worked’ together In the democratic ranks, and aro still warm friends, MR, HUGH COTVIEE. Mr. Hugh Colville, prosident of the Commercial nk, of which Senator-clect George H. Pendleton is one of the principal sharcholders, said that he didn't anticipate eny inerdi supply of the standard ei) ver dollars. It been tmaeretood by bankers and business mon generally that the one and two dotiar notes would ve retired and tho silver dollars take their place, If the New York bankers undertook to discriminate qainet them holders had an easy romody | eat them in four nercent bonds. and though Jt might bob somo inedasguionce Hey wearer? to realize the mon ey Uni “Would such, a comrse be likely t0 be resorted to here in the West?” “Not likely, becauso a large amount of silver can be kept in circulation in the West aud South without ite being forced into the banks. In the South alone they conid use ten ox twelve millions in paying off the eolored laborers, and it would be @ long time ber fore it would come back to the banks.” MR Gs P, GRIFFITH. Mr. GP. Griffith, vice president of the Thitd Na tional Bank of ( ti, which was the first bank - country to announce its readiness to redeem its circulation in gold, took adi nt view of the matter; aud intimated that if New York one set the example it would be necessary for otber cities to fol¥ low. Mr, Griffith responded to-an inquiry as to his views on the subject without Lesitation:— “What would be the result’ of the New York banks doing as they threaten—that is, to discriminate in their discounts against any customer who should pay his note in silver? Would that course be followed here in Cincinnati?” : “A man has a right to pay his notes, of course, in legal tender—that is, in gold or greenbacks or dollars of the dads; and we have no option in that matter. We nust take them ‘ ‘ “But you have an option in seying whose paper you will discount, and you can make a rule to dis- count nobody's note that is liable to be’ paid in that way?” “Certainly, and we'd be apt to do that if the New York banks should make it théit rule. You see that is a mafter where the banks have a common interest. Aman here owes, say $5,000, in New York, They send it out to us for coliection, and he pays itin silver dollars, We don’t want to pack it away in our vaults, our customers here don’t want to lug it around, and it will cost $1 50 a thousand to send it there PY. ex: press. That's'a loss to somebody. Under the old way we could arrange that transfer by wire in.a few min- utes, and at practically no cost.”” “Phey can be used for buying the four per cent bonds: “Not directly. The only way is by whipping the devil around the stump. You go to the Sa heeasea with a lot of'silver to buy four per cents and you'l find that you can’t get them.” “Won't this excess of silver go South?” “Not to stay fhere. It may go down there ‘to be used in paying off laborers in the cotton fields, but it won't be Jong in penching the towns. ‘Then it will come back to the cities to pay for goods. But the tronble is ae the sume with a depreciated money, It isn't the bankert that lose on it, nor the rich men, but the poor people, who have to take it for w: ‘They are always the ‘people who have to stand the Joss at last.” MITTON SAYLER. n Milton Sayler, member of Congress from the First Ohio district and-one of the leaders on the demo- cratic side of the House, said :— “It would be an outrage for the New York banks te attempt to discriminate against the standard silver dollars. Still I think, from what I read in the papers, that it is their intention to do so.” “It is also said that they will make an effort to have the law of last winter repealed?” “That will be utterly impossible for them to do. The country here in the West would almost rise in arms aguinst it. Why, you know that law was passed over Hayes’ veto by almost athree-fourths vote. Many republicans voted for it, and here in Obio and other ‘Western States they were as earnest in demanding it as the democrats.’ “It will help ‘Thurman in the fight against the banka he proposes to make, won't it?” “Oh, yes. It will be of immense assistance to him. It will serve at once as @ text for him, and he can go right in on it. Thurman is the man to make the fight. He is cowrageons and has every advantage that can come from long service in the Senate, during which time he has always enjoyed the confidence of thecoun- try. It will he of great advantage to Thurman in Wa eee rene of view and to the democracy of the West A DISTINGUISHED LUNATIC, [From the Washington Republican, Nov. 21.] “Mr. Landlord, I want the best suit of rooms you haye in the house.” This was addressed to Mr, Spofford, of the Riggs House, as he stood bebind his counter about half-past ten o’clock yesterday morning. The gentleman who used the words had just alighted from a carriage and entered the office, He was tall and decidedly mil- itary in appearance. He wore @ fur cap. car. ried. a faery fur cout over his ou ant ® handsomely mounted pair of field glasses in one hand. His mustache was , but his most strik- ing feature was his eyes, which were restless and wild, “Mr. Landord, I want the best suit of rooms you have in the house.” Noticing that the landlord hesi- tated aud perhaps thinking thet he divined the rea- son, tho stranger coatinued:—“I don’t care if it coets $26) 9 week. I don’t want any of your servants to wait on moe, Put all of them ont and} will put in my own help.” The hotel register wae shoved toward him, and the subscribed him- self, ina bold hand, “ .

Ashe turned away from the counter, another | sarap) came up and an- nounced himself as the of tho stranger, and stated that he had just escaped from his quord st the Baltimore’ and Potomac depot. He further requestal Mr, fford to let hin have whatever he wanted, os he was perfectly harmless, though thoroughly ineanc, and informed him that his newly registered guest waa the Colonel Janes of whom the papers have kpoken os having left the barracks in Montana Territory and roamed over the prairies for some days, until he was tound he | # scouting party. The two soldiers who composed his guard haying in the meantime followed. the demented lieutensnt and arrived at the hotel, they remained there to see that he did not escape, while Lieutenant Banaredale repaired to the War Department to secure the necessary pa- pers for the admission of Colonel Janes in St. Elizabeth's Asylum, When Lieutenant Banars- dale returned with the papers Colonel Janes called upon the landlord for protection, and retiring be- hind the counter intrenched himself there, armed with an inkstand in one hand and the Riggs House or, in the other, He was tially overpowered, and, despite his many appeala to bystanders, wad conveyed to ths ambulance in waiting at the door and driven away to the asylum.

One of his hallucinations is that he possesses unlimited wealth, and ho desires to travel and live like a nabob, HOW THE POOR ARE ROBBED, (From the Chicago Times, Noy. 22.) On the 20th inst. there died in Philadelphia Mr, Thomas H. Powers, ‘the richest man in Philadelphia, his estate being estimated at $10,000,000 and his ine come at $750,000 year.” Mr. Powers was tho senior member of a firm of manufacturing chomists. The house has been in ox istence sixty years, and the deceased has been a mem ber of it forty years, The founders of the concern (Farr & Kunzi) discovered a process for the manu- facture of quinine, then known only to a few French chemists. ‘This discovery laid the foundation of their sperity. Still, they were not satisfied with that onndation, and asked papa government at Washing- ton to protect them against the competition of the Frenchmen, who also had discovered how to make quinine. In‘ other words, they asked papa government fo make slaw saying to the tens of thousands of American pioneers that were shaking with ague and burning with fever:—‘Theee French chemists are selling you quinine at too low a price; you must therefore, «stop buying quinine from them and bny { from these men at Philadelphis, whd will charge you a higher price for an article no better and not so good as the French quinine. My objet in inaking this law is to enable the two men in Phila delphis to become enormously rich at the cost of the poor devils ¢! are burning with fever and shaking with ague, You perceive Iam a beneficent govern- ment!” Papa government did so, and thus going into artnership with Mr. Powers in the quinine manu- ‘acturing business enabled that lucky person to gmass his fortune of $10,000,000 by Jovying toll upon suffering and disease. For the benefit of this Phila- delphia house and only one other heavy “protec- tive’ duty has been laid on quinine ever since the first American Turriff law was cuacted. ‘This case furntahes a good exemplifieation of the infernal «ystem of private robbery by gies oid known aa the “protective system.” It is prop. erly named, for it isa system by which government (whong true office is to execnte justice) gives protec- tion to the practice of injustice, ee oy by os manor @ few men to amaes enormous wealth by levying toll not only upon the earnings bat the misfortancs and sickness and snffering of all men not thus fe vored by govermental partiality.
