“NAN” AND HIS COMRADES. Captain Boyton Interested in the Vol- unteer Life Saving Corps. HELPING THE HEROES. The East River Front Patrolled from the ; Battery to the “Hook.” — Captain Paul Boyton is taking a great interest in | the volunteer life saving corps of this city, end since the dinner which he gave ‘‘Nan’’ the newsboy and his two comrades, Long and Kelly, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, he has spent a great deal of his time with them. Last Saturday afternoon the Captain, ac- companied by “Nan” and Long, made tour of the East River front with a view to selecting the ntost de- sirable sites for station houses. Captain Boyton’s idea is to have the stations built on scows, so that they can be easily moved from place to place as necessity requires, After consulting with both young men regarding the locality of the sites, and getting estimates of the costs of scows and stations, the Captain sent the following card to the Hynarp:— CAPTAIN BOYTON’S CARD, New Yor, Jan. 4, 1879, To Tue Eprror oF tHe Heraup:— y Ihave boon naturally in- formed by “Nan, the Nows trolling the " nx people, three boys in their work, and tre all have soon and heard I considor thelr or- gunizatiog, tho Volunteer Life Saving Corps, worthy of the support @ the orting of th Tens follows J ‘There should be three floating stations, consisting of house about ten feet by seventeen feet, built npon a seow, the house to be furnished with life-saving apparatus, ro: storatives of all ki Ivanic battery, and, if sufficient money enn be raised, Here shoikd also be i stove In each station and a bank for the captain.

The gallant members of the Stock Exehange kindly en- couraged me to continue and offered thelr support by com moucing a subscription, I hope their liberality will be foi- lowed by all New York, for I know of no more desorvin, charity.

It now remains with the citizens of New York to show their ap- preciation of this noble and charitable work. ; PAUL BOYTON. 4 GLORIOUS RECORD. é In an article published in the Hexavp on Saturday it was stated that the Muritime Association of the Port of New York is anxious to assist “Nan” and his coin- } rades, and following it was a card signed *‘Veritas,”” the writer of which also offered to assist them, pro- vided they could prove that they had, as they claimed, suved twenty-five lives. the’ afterncon Long visited the secretary of the Maritime Association, Mr. Houghton, at his office in Beaver street, and that gentlemen also asked that proofs be produced of what he and his comrades had done. ‘Nan" accord- dngly visited the Hepanp office last night with tho @ book in which he has entered every case of a life saved or assistance rendered. According to it the following fitteen persons were saved by “Nan” :— Florence McCarthy, age sixteen years, residence, No, 59 Cherry street, on Mebruary 22, 1876. Jeremiah ley, age fourteep, residence, No, 287 Front street, on ch 22, 1576... John Bremen, of No, 66 Mott Street, who fell from Dover dock duriug the winter of 1876. ‘A Hebrew boy, about thirteen years of age, who fell from one of the docks during the winter of 1376. He was so trightened when taken out of the water that he ran away without giving either his name or address, “Nan” also saved a boy whose name or address he could not,learn.

They were in a rowboat and were run down by the Harlem steamer Sylvau Dell, Lhe boat was smashed and the three young meu, neither of whom could swim, were thrown into the water. “Nan” happened to be on the steamer at the time and, without a moment's hesitation, sprang into the water and succeeded in rescuing the three. Friduy night, December 20, a New York merchant feil from the gangplank of one of the Harlem boats and was rescued. ‘The following seven persons were saved by Gilbert ong :— ‘Alsnice Webb, of No, 125 Roosevelt street, who fell overboard on May LY, 1878. ‘Thomas Lane, of No. 2 Roosevelt street, who fell overboard trom a dock May 26, 187.

Lead the way, Nan,” and the long journey for the Hook was commenced. | When pier 50 was reached the volunteers showed | their method of saving lives, The lines were ; thrown out and “Nan” to the water's edge on the ladder. The _ Captain complimented them on their dexterity and said he would have lighter ropes for them soon. The Hook was soon reached and the little party were somewhat fatigued. After a short talk with “Nan” and the other volnn- teers the Captain took his leave, the boys returning to the Dover Dock hbout eleven o'clock. ICE IN THE RIVERS. * DANGER OF COMPLETE YFNTERRUPTION TO FER- RYBOAT COMMUNICATION—OCEAN STEAMERS UNABLE TO SAIL ON TIME. The condition of the rivers at many points yester- | day was materially improved from the icelock of Friday and Saturday; but at some points it was even worse, the continued westerly wind and a strong ‘incoming tide carrying all the ice to the upper part of the river. Some of the ferry slips are bounded on each side by long, project- ing picrs, and an eddy current is thus created, which sucks in large cakes of ice from the river and blocks the ferry slip, while the main stream is comparatively clear. This was the caseon the Brooklyn side of the Wall street ferry. The entire slip was blocked up with cakes of ice, which prevented the boats from getting any nearer to the slip than five or six feet. Ice brows were called into requisi- tion onevery trip, aud sometimos the boat had to back out into the stream several times before the passen- gers could be landed. On Friday night the ferryboat Cliaton was struck by the spanker boom of a drifting schooner which stove in the gentlemen’s cabin aft. ‘The schooner was captured and towed into the dock at Pierrepont Stores, where she was found to be the Gloucester, of New York. Her rig- ging and spars wero all cut away on the port side, aud she showed signs of having been in contact with ae vessel. Her owner, Mr. Cusick, claimed her yesterday, but the Union Ferry Company refuses to deliver the schooner up until some $125 damages have been settled. . ‘The South and Hamilton ferries had considerable trouble during the morning, but a tug soon reduced the cake ice to “fine cut,” Ali the other ferries on the east side ran their boats withecomparative regu- larity. The Staten Island boats encountered some ice in the Staten Island slip, but after a few efforts the cakes were broken up. No trips are made after seven o'clock P. M., a4 company is not prepared to fight the ice at night. ‘The Cortlandt, Chambers and Desbrosses street ferries ran regular trips all day long. At ten o’clock in the morning the Twenty-third street ferry to Ho- boken started to run boats but discontigued them at two in the atternoon. The Forty-second street ferry té Wehawken was frozen in all day and could run no boats. All along the North Rivers especially in the upper portion, everything was biocked by jee on the leo shore. An immense ficid of ico drifted down bon the day ana stopped between Horatio and Thirteenth streets, where it froze fast. Score’ of men and boys started from the foot of Bloomfield streot and watked on the | ice to within 500 yards of the Hoboken shore, the ice beg thick enough to bear a horse and wagon. All the afternoon a unmber of tugs and steamboats en~ deayored to break the fleld, but without succe: All ae ers, schooners and Inud scows, are frozen fast in docks. the small boats, including ‘barges, canal boats, Newark Bay ig entirely closed up, the water havin, frozen to a depth of tour inches thick, The Newari steamers are, consequently, icebound. The piers of the Central bridge prevent the ice from leaving the with the ebb tide. This keeps the Kills clear of ail except very light ice. New York Bay, all along the shore, is covered with ice on the Long Island aide. At Fort Hamilton the ice is Me @ dense, and no yachts can pavigate in the vicinity; all the fishing boats are icebound.

The trouble occasioned to ocean steamers through their inability to sail because of the delay in cargo has not yet ceased. Many of the steamers advertised to sailon Saturday, left yesterday, while others will not sail until to-day. ‘The Great Western line steamer Devon, which was Aelayed, sailed carly yesterday morning. Mallory’s steainer Carondelet, which was aiso delayed, left pier No. 2u yesterday morning. The Kio Jaueiro, of Mal- lory’s line, also cleared. « The Anchor line steamer Alsatia made great efforts to leave yesterday, but was unable to do #0, owing to delay in the cargo. Last night at twelve o'clock work | was started to load her, as her owners would not ailow the men to work on Sunday. The steamer will probably sail to-day, as all Ler cargo is on the dock und everything in readiness, Of the National line the steamer Spain managed to sail yesterday, in spite of the ice, waile the Greece remains fast at her dock, Work has been going on ali the time, and several tugs are at work clearing the | ice trom around ber, so that the treight barges may wpproach, It is likely that she will sail to-morrow mornicg. ‘Tho stoamer Ashland, of the Florida line, which | | was to have sailed Saturday, but was frozen by the | ice on her way from Philadelphia to this city, arrived , yesterday, aud ali speed is 4 made to prepare her for sailing.

PREPARATIONS OF THE VARIOUS COMPANIES FOR A QUICK HARVEST-—-1CK FISHERMEN AT WORK. PovewkRePsz, Jan, 5, 1879. ‘The frozen Hudson has suddenly become an object of much interest to thousands of people for s dis- tance of seventy-five or a hundred miles, for in the next thirty days, if the weather be propitious, over three million tons of ice are to be taken from its | bosom and stacked in the many houses which line its | bamke. All day yesterday hundreds of men and boys and horses were at work at various points north planing the crystal burtaco and preparing it for cut- Ung, snd to-morrow, north of Rhinebeck, the har- vest will begia in earnest. Everywhere the ice is in fine condition, and there i# a hurrying to and tro on the care to the various ice A¥lds, abd men und boys are being hired as tast as they apply for work. ‘Lhe outiook ice Was never better ham now, ‘The Knickerbocker lord was at work first, near Schodac, but all of “the companies will be at work to-morrow, and, as there will be a full moon for several nights, it is highly probable that there will be night and day gangs at work, for every advantage will be taken to make it a quick harvest.

THE AMOUNT AND VARIETY OF FOOD CONSUMED BY THE LADY PEDESTRIAN EVERY TWENTY-FOUR HOURS—THE PROGRESS SHE IS MAKING. There is no apparent diminution in the attendance at Mozart Garden, Brooklyn, and Mme. Anderson ep- pearson the track at the commencement of every quarter hour, lookiug almost as fresh as the day she started. The afternoon business has increased con- siderably during the past week and on Saturday and yesterday afternoons there were about five hundred ladies present, representing many of the first fami- lies in Brooklyn. They take very great interest in the progress of the task that the madame has under- taken, and Yuring the afternoon it isa rare thing to see her walking unaccompanied bya lady, Some- times the lady pedestrian is rather annoyed by the Persistent attentions from ladies who, not satisfied with walking witl’ her once or twice, desire to mo- nopolize her entirely. There was an instance of that Kind on Saturday that resulted in a rather amusing finale. A lady visited the garden early in the ‘morning and walked several laps with the madame, Shortly after three P. M. the lady returned and sent in a request for permission to resume her perambulations. The madame again complied With the stranger's wishes, but, fecling a little more wide awake than she did during the morning, struck a pretty fast gait. At the close of the first lap the stranger was fifteen feet behind, but by running she managed to close up the gap, and again the pair raced round at a great rate. At the end of the second lap the stranger again broke into arun and kept skipping along until the close of the fourth Jap, when she stopped ve rest while the madame covered the fifth lap, The stranger having recovered her wind com- menced the sixth lap and walked well for about three- quarters, when suddenly the madame put on a spurt and walked away from her. ‘he time of the quarter was 3m. 224;s. WHAT SHE EATS AND DRINKS. While the question of the amount of fatigue which the constitution of Mme. Anderson can support is forming an interesting subject of discussion among the medical fraternity, this walk has brought to light another feature which will also prove of inter- est to medical men end professional trainers. This is the extraordinary amount and variety of food which Mme. Anderson eats every twenty-tour hours without at all injuring her health. The amount and variety of her food will be seen from the following table, which was made out by her assistants:— JANvany 3, 8:11 P. M.—Port wine and piece of bread, 8:22 P.

AT THE GARDEN YESTERDAY. The attendance yesterday was larger than it has been on any day since the commencement of the walk, and during the ie is large number of the spectators had great difficulty in obtaining » view of the pedestrian. The floor in the con- tre of the enclosure is on a level with the track, and therefore it is hard for those in the centre to see over the heads of the others. P, M. the Indy pedestrian began to feel the ‘want of sleep and slackened Ler speed to a six min- ute gait. At th. P. M. sho was very sleepy and took nearly seven minutes to walk the 1,92ist quar- ter, She was accompanied by Captain Samuells, who had to watch her pretty closely, and occasionaily guide her to the beaten track, as she evinced a dispo- sition tp walk in every direction except the right one. When the madame appeared on the track at Yh. dom. P. M., to walk the 1,925th quarter, the band struck up ‘See The Conquering Hero’ Comes.” Direetly the pedestrian heard the music she put up both hands and motioned to the leader to stp. The the lady trian SEReSkORk ster esesesss r iuusic stopped, and when arrived wuderneath the galiery where the band | is located, she said, in @ loud voice:— "Be kind enough, yentiemen, to reserve that@util I have com. leted my task and done something to deserve it.” he ty ot the request had a startling effect upon the spectators, and they made the root shake wat sees ‘clock Log nigh ime.

Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday night the pedestrian feat, which was commenced be- tween Robert Campbell and John W. Goodwin, two amateurs, on New Year's night, was completed, and resulted in favor of the latter. The conditions were that tho walk, which took place at Stella near Myrtle, Brook- lyn, should continue for seventy-ive hours, and that the man who in that time covered the most miles should be adjudged the win- ner. Tho match, which was for a purse of $500, was witnessed by several hundred people, residing in that section of the city—a circumstance that bears further testimony the constantly growing in- the public. Campbell, who is upward forty. yoars age, ia about five feet two inehes in height. whule his successful competitor is Nive teet oght inches and is but tweuty-ono yoars of age. Goodwin, who walked full of life and vigor, spurted from time to time, leaving Campbell several miles behind, but he took long: ps, Which enabied the elder man to make wp lost distance to a consider- able extent. Campbell seldom rested for more than an hour together. Goodwin won the purse, haviug made 235 miles in seventy-five hours, Campbell's dis- tance being but 216 miles, . prtenedenny ins GREAT ATHLETIC EVENT, The grand amateur athletic tournament to be given by the well known Knickerbocker Athletic Club this evening and Tuesday evening at Gilmore's Garden promises to be the grandest collection of the best amateur athletes ever brought together in this country. In several of (he events will be:found two well known English amateurs who are determined to try the mettle of our American amateurs, ond there ie every reason to believe the competitions will be very interesting. The list of eutries numbers over four hundred and the clubs represented number thirty-six. The programme for this evening will be a8 fol- -five yards, 220 hurdle, quarter, half, mile runs; tanning igh Jump, running pe and three mile walks. five mile Walk for the amateur cham- piouship of America will be decided to-morrow even- ing, commencing at seven o'clock, T.

THIRD AVENUE IMPROVEMENT, To Tux Eprron ov THE HERALD:— Cannot the Park Department, who are empowered to survey and improve the Twenty-third ward, see to it that Third avenue is properly laid out at 159th street, so as to remove the letter S that it now forms at that point? It can easily be done now before the avenue is built up at that point and for a few blocks low. As Third avenue, in the Twenty-third ward, promises to be a great business street shortly it is of the utmost importance that this mistake of the old Morrisania Town Commissioners should be rectified and the avenue straightened at that point. W. b, POST OFFICE NEGLIGENCE. Srpvey Barracgs, Neb., Dec. 31, 1878, To THE Eprton or THE HERALD:— I do not know whether you will listen to com- plaints from ‘out of town;” but I would like pub- licity given to, the fact that much carelessness—to speak mildly—exists among the postal officials on the Union Pacific Railroad. Two copies of the Hzratp are taken at thispost that I know of, and about half the time they go by this station (Sidney) and are re- turned from up the road somewhere. A few days ago we received three copies in one mail that had all gone by and returned. Other papers and sometimes letters are delayed in this manner, and frequently papers are lost. ‘This is very annoying and indicates great negligence somewhere in the postal depart- ment. We think it must be on the Union Pacific ilroad. SIDNEY BARRACKS, RAPID TRANSIT HINTS, ‘To THE Eprror or THe Heranp:— After repeated visits to London and Paris, I am every time astonished that Americans have not long before this adopted a plan to give cheap and dear fares on allomnibuses and railroad trains. It is done simply by putting seats on top, so as to allow men, and ladies as well, to ride on top et one-half fare. In Europe they do away with the absurd ornamenta- tion of their cars, and put cushioned seats on the in- side and wooden seats on the outside, which is cov- ered with skeleton tops, as on the trains to Coney Island. Smokers and all who like to see the city or to have fresh air, or who care to save half faro, ride always on the tops of their vehi- cles. In the summer it is the place first sought for, and in winter as well, for one can have a shawl around the body or the feet, ayd in summer the cool ride would be taken for the comfort given. They burn coke on their engines, and thus avoid smoke and cinders, I have asked many on the sub- ject as to thoir views and all say%hey would prefer the outside seats at the same prite, but certainly so at half fare. The cars on the elevated roads are well adapted for these seats. The passengers ride back to back and descend by spiral stairways at either end, The cars as now made ought to support the weight of passengers and only acentral support for the back would have to be added. ‘The abuses as now tolerated by the pushing and crowding and the delaying would never be allowed in London or Paris, The law in Paris is that for every passenger without a seat the conductor is fined twenty francs. You, more than all others, have se- cured rapid transi now please insiet that thoso who hold these very important franchises shall not abuse the long suffering and much too patient public. It for no other object than the experiment, let us have a few trains with seats on top at halt fare, and see how it will work. Thocars, as at present made, are much higher than is needful; the stairways to the top of the cars could be made on the platforms, and thus do away with the spiral ones at the end of the cars. As the public seems to like rapid transit why not advocate another elevated road from South ferry, via Broadway to and around the rear of the Post Ofice, up Centre and Crosby strects to Lafayette place, Fourth avenue to Grand Central Depot and through to Harlem? That is a much needed railway, and it is already one-half constructed. WF, HL HINTS FOR MAYOR COOPER: THE EXAMPLE OF THE GREAT NEHEMIAH HELD UP FOR HIS EMULATION—REV. MR. AFFLECK'S’ IDEA OF A MODEL MAYOR. At the Helping Hand Church last evening Rev. W. B. Affleck discoursed on “What @ Model Mayor Did and What Our Promising Mayor Should Do.” ‘faking for the groundwork of his remarks Nehemiah xiii, 14—“Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof,” he said:—Nehemiah, the model Mayor, who did so much for the church, the people and for God, was one of tho finest specimens of & man and an official that we read of. No man should be an office holder or an office seeker who has not the interests of the people at heart. We have in our day too many political tricksters, and there is no remedy, except in our securing public officials who have dotermined at ail hazards to do their duty to the people and to God. When good men only are exalted to be great men, then will nations rise and people enjoy prosperity and happinéss. You ought to thank God that in America, if your votes should be thrown away on an unworthy Chief Magistrate, you can remedy the evil in four years. In local affairs you can generally change your rulers every twelve months, so that if you have bad ones it is @ reflection on your intelli- gence. A MODEL OFFICIAL. For the high office of Mayor or Governor of Jerusa- lem Nehemiah had been specially trained, He had been appointed the King’s cup bearer, and while in that honorable capacity his courtesy endeared him to all. In his official character he did nothing in a hurry, and only acted after long deliberation. Nehe- miah could be depended upon. He was uniform and temperate in his habits of life. He was also diligent and industrious. “Seest thou a man diligent in business, he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” The causes which lea to Nehemiah becoming a Mayor were small. Small causes sometimes lead to great results, and so it was in Nehemiah’s case. He had been toid by Hanani, one of his brethren, that the Jews who sur- vived the captivity were sorely afilicted—that the wall of Jerusalem was broken and the gates thereof burned. On hearing these things the good Nehemiah sat down and wept. It was five hundred years betore desus shed tears over Jerusalem that Nehemiah mourned for that afflicted city. Nehemiah be- lieved in prayer, and his faith was correspond- ingly He found favor in the eyes of the King, who not only permitted him to go and build up ‘the broken down city of Jerusalem, but also gave him material assistance for the work he bad resolved to accomplish. We must now view him ass modekMayor. The first thing we are struck by is the fact that he kept his eyes open. Nehemiah soon faw what was needed. Ee had no political wool gathered over hiseyes. He found that the city was very dirty, end what he saw around hin aroused his righteous indignation. .. THK WORK OF REFORM. He found that the chamber of the house of God had been, Qirough an unfaithful priest, pre i for Tobiah, an onemy of Jerusalem, who had it stored with the tithes of the corn, the new wine and the oil, and he said, ‘It grieved me sore, and I cast torth all the household stuff of Lobiah out of the cham- ber.” that act 2 himself a model Mayor— that he 4 will and a mind of his own. In clean- ing the chamber Nehemiah engaged in a hazarious undertaking. Any Mayor who undertakes to re- form long-standing abuses will generally find that le has got himself into « hornet’s nest. Political dishonesty and corruption have gone on in our day until trade and commerce have had to put on sackcloth and ashes, Nehemiah cleansed the chamber, Christ afterward cleansed the temple of the money changers; and now let Mayor Cooper cleanse the political chambers of this city, and by so doing make for himself 4 lasting memorial of the city’s gratitude, Let reform, retrenchment, economy be the popttlar watchwords for the present year. Give the Working classes more wages, and let them enjoy more of "s pure air, Close the dram shops, so that the poor laborers, who spend so much of their hard earnings in them, may be enabled to wear better clothes and look more like men. AEPOUMERS IN HEAVEN. When I get to heaven and see all the aoa’ reformers I will stop at Nehemiah, who made the rulers take their places in the Lord’s house. Ho did not go to impose new duties on the poor and the beipless; he struck where they could strike back again, I like a Mayor who dares to throttle the nobles, who brings them by the neck face to face with facts, Nehemiah aiso abolished trading on the Lord’sday., Any nation, family or person that disregards the sanctity of the Sabbath, ison the way 5 ees and material and moral ruin. He enfoi the law and gloriously conquered, shutting the gates on the eta setting men on watch to see that no burdens were brought into the city on that day, 1 leave the noble ceeds of this model Mayor to your private consideration in the —_ that his exem- ple may be copied in our own city. May God give our heW, promising, wealthy Mayor a disposition to do right by wil mon, Let him act like Neheniah, and turn out all the vile stuf! whieh the modern Tobiahs hove bronght in. Let him mantully face the Sunday trade and seg to it t his servat he police, clore all the barrooms in our modern Jer mi, and let him ever keep before him this mot “Trust in God and do the right,’ | SOUTH CAROLINA'S INDEBTEDNESS. THE STATE ENJOINED bY THE UNITED STATES COURT FROM PAYING THE JANUARY INTEREST ON ITS BONDED DEBT—-NEW YORK BONDHOLD- ERS OBTAIN THE INJUNCTION—FACTS OF THE CASE. To THe Eprror or TH Henap:— ‘That South Carolina defaults in the payment of the January interest on its acknowledged debt is not so much the fault of the State as of the holders of its litigated bonds, The Treasprer has sufficient funds with which to psy both the January and Muly coupons, and would have promptly paid the former on the Ist inst, had he not been enjoined from doing so by an order of the United States Circuit Court at Charleston. This order was obtained upon the ap- plication of John B, Manning, of New York, and other holders of the South Carolina consols, which have just becn pronounced invalid by the Special Bond Court. FACTS OF THE CASE, The facts are briefly these:—in June, 1877, imme- diately after the establishment in power of the Hamp- ton government, the General Assembly levied a tax to provide for the payment of the accruing interest on all of the consolidated debt of the State (South Carolina consols), amounting to $4,296,289, but post- poned the actual payment of the interest until « Ley- islative commission, appointed about the same time, should have ascertained what part of this debt was valid and obligatory upon the State. The proceeds of this tax were paid into the treasury, and were there when the commission made its report io the General Assembly in February, 1878. According to this re- port only $1,577,835 of the consols were free from all taint of fraud aud valid. ‘The General Assembly then levied a tax to provide for the payment of the interest aceruing on the whole debt in 1873, but directed the ‘freasurer to pay the interest on only the $1,577,835 of uncontested bonds—payment of interest on the re- maining $2,818,455 being postponed until the validity of the same should have been finally adjudicated by the courts. ACTION OF THE CouRT. A special court, consisting of three cirenit judges, was organized for the adjudication of this matter, with an appeal from its decision to the Supreme Court of the State and thence to the Supreme Court of the United States. This special court, as is gen- erally known, has decided that of the $2,815,455 liti- gated bonds $1,804,358 are not valid. obligations of the State. The taxes levied in 1877 and 1873 have both been collected and paid into the hates Out of these proceeds the interest which accrued during 1877 and 1878.0n the acknowledged bonds has been paid. ‘The residue is in the treasury. The General Assembly at its late session, Decem- bor, 1878, instead of levying atax to provide for the payment of this year’s interest in the public debt, directed the Treasurer to apply the above mentioned residue to the payment of the 1879 coupons on the acknowledged bonds, and this would have been done,- as we have scen, but forthe injunction obtained by Mr, Manning and the other holders of the litigated ‘They hold the money in the treasury— is to say the jue of the proceeds of the taxes levied in 1877 and 1878 for payment of interest in the whole public debt—cannot diverted by the Gen- eral Assembly from the purpose for which it was specifically levied and collected, but must remain in the treasury subject to the final adjudication by the courts ‘of the validity of the contested bonds, ‘The United States Court has, as already said, made an order temporarily restraining the Treasurer from applying this fund to the payment of the January in- terest on the recognized bonds. TAXATION AVOIDED. All this is v@y much to be regretted, and yet one can hardly wonder that the members of the South Carolina Assembly, sympathizing with the hard- ships of the people, knowing that this money was in the treasury, aud believing, as a majority of them conscientiously do, that it would never be needed for the purpose for which it was levied,-chose to appro- priate it to the payment of this year’s interest on the acknowledged debt of the State rather than impose for that purpose a new and unnecessary tax upon the impoverished people of the State. The money was in the treasury, and the General Assembly, not anticipating this late action of the bondholders, ap- propriated itto the payment of this year’s interest. It seems now that an unfortunate mistake was committed by the General Assembly, for not only will the credit of the State be unjustly affected by the non-payment of the January coupons, but much in- dividual suffering will follow this failure of the State to pay these coupons. TAXATION. TIED UP FOR LIVE. JOHN ROGERS AND HIS ALLEGED CONFEDERATES HELD ON CHARGES OF BURGLARY—ROGERS MARRIED IN COURT AND ESOORTED TO JAIL BY HIS BRIDE. ‘ John Rogers, alias “Shorn,” who was arrested in this city about a week ago, at James slip, by two Brooklyn officers, and was wounded in the hip while attempting to make his escape, was arraigned on Sat- urday last, in conjunction with five other prisoners on a chargo of burglary, bofore Judge Gertrum, of East New York. The other accused parties, Ber nard Heeney, William Lindenfelser, William Butter- bee, Charles Keaney and Frederick Louter, are identified, it is alleged, with Rogers, as members of the “Shorty” Lent gang. The latter. who is a@notorious masked burglar, is now undergoing a term of sentence for ten years for his crimes in the Kings County Penitentiary. The gang above named were charged with being implicated in a series of robberies recontly perpetrated on farmers in the ont- skirts of Brooklyn, Judge Gertrum decided to hold all the prisoners, with the exception of Louter, to await the action of the Grand Jury. Louter was dis- charged, and the others were remanded to the cus- tody of the Sheriff of Kings county. Before leaving the conrt the prisoner Rogers, who is thirty-two years of age and a stout, rugged looking féliow, handed a note to the Judge, in eect he stated that he had made arrangements to be married on the night he was arrested. He requested His Honor to perform the interrupted ceremony then, as the bride was present. The request was gracefully complied with by His Honor, who led the way of the couple to his private office, where the ceremony was duly and solemnly performed, The bride, who is a fair looking German woman, of thirty-two years, was given away by As- sistant ‘District Attorney John Oakey in the presence of several officers, while Counsellor 5, Gifford Nelson, who appeared in behalf of Rogers, acted as “best man” for the groom. At the conclu- sion of the ceromony the prisoners were driven away fp tho Raymond Street Jail, the newly made Mrs, gers accompanying her tnfortunate husband as far as the gloomy portals of the prison, where he will await the action of the Grand Jury. BURNED TO DEATH. On Friday last asad accident occurred in the vil- lage of Glon Cove, L. L, which resulted in the death of the two-year-old daughter of Mr. James Town- send. The nurse, after putting the child to bed, left the room, when the little one got up and began amusing herself lighting matches. Her nightclothes \d bedding caught fire, and in a few minutes she was so fearfully burned that she expired. —— MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, a MARRIED.
