A Reminiscence pf a V -ung French Girl -Tlie Leist of the JandBi Laid in Greenwood-Wall Street Babbles-The Operator who Superintends a Sunday School and Balls Rock Island-How the Brokers Kill themselves with Ex? citement-Savannah Firemen In New York. 'Fr.O'iI OUR OWN CORRESPONDES.] NEW YORK, June 24. There appears a prospect at last that the Methodist Book Concern scandal will speedily be withdrawn from public gaze. Judge Bar? nard yesterday decided peremptorily against the request of Rev. Dr. Lanallan for permis? sion to examine the books and papers of the concern. The trial ol the doctor for h's re? bellious conduct is proceeding before a com? mittee of the church, and the probabilities are that he will be convicted. Thes. ? troubles have lasted two years. They began with the charges of fraud in the management ot the Book Concern made against it by Dr. Lan a han. For a long time, the disposition of those having the control of the business was to pre? vent public investigation, but latterly they have expressed the utmost willingness to throw the hooks and papers open to compe? tent examination. During this time the outside nubile have been disposed very strongly to 'believe that gome huge swindle was being covered up in the great building at the corner of Broadway anoiEleventh street, and the sympathy for Dr. Lanahan has been general. But the iates seem to decide against bim. The courts are against Mm', and his brethren of the church a?pear to think he has been indiscreet, to say the ?east. The eflect of this scandal has been very Injurious to the church, and even to the cause of religion. Visitors to Greenwood Cemetery will re? member the Bhowy monument over the grave Of Miss Charlotte Canda. It ls the most con? spicuous piece of statuary In the grounds. One evening, more than twenty years ago, this accomplished yoong French girl, the daughter of a wealthy merchant ot tills city, was enter-1 ing ber carriage, dressed In full toilette to at? tend a ball, when the horses took fright and ran away, andr she was killed. The disconso? late father spent all the fortune that would have been lier's in the magnificent tombstone which every visitor to the cemetery goes to I look at. He died broken hearted a lew years after, and was laid by her Eide. Yesterday the funeral rites ol Mr?. Adele Canda, her mother and the last survivor of the family, were solemnized at St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church. Mrs. Canda has been living In France since'the death of her irusband, and during tie late German war and the war of the Commune, devoted hersell to nursing the sick and wounded. She fell a victim to overwork andi .exposure in the cause ol humanity, and I her remains were brought to this cltv last week by the French steamer. She was buried with her kindred under the bhadow of the I "French Girl's Monument."' Wall street has just passed through another of its occasional spasms, an over inflated rail? road bubble bursting, and sweeping a heavy operator and a baker's dozen ol brokers into the besom ot destruction. The heavy opera tor began buying Rock Island a couple of weeks ago, and took contracts for being supplied with 273,000 share3, which are about 103,000 more than there are In existence. Of course I the operation was merely speculative, there I being no actual delivery of. the stock. Upon his purchases the price advanced over twenty \ per cent., but when he was ready to sell out to greenhorns, his hackers refused to let him have money to complete the tranasction, and it collapsed. In a quarter of an hour the price tumbled twenty per cent., and the operator was ruin? ed. Had he succeeded in carrying through I his bold scheme, he would have cleared tu ruo or four millions of dollars. As it ls, he ls I cleaned out of a couple of hundred thousand- 1 all he has, or rather, all that he says he has. This slaughtered bull is named Woodward. I He has been on the street many years, and has made several heavy failures belore. For I some time past he hos enjoyed the reputation I ol being wealthy. He lives in Brooklyn, and has been running a church and Sunday behool out of his own pocket. When a combination of piety and stock speculation takes place, you may reasonably looa" for a big swindle somewhere. It is characteristic ol Wall street that the brokers and speculators go raving mad in the midst of a financial flurry, and as soon as it is over they are lounging about the curb-stones or drinking at DelinotDco's, as if nothing what? ever of moment bad happened- On Tuesday, when Woodward's brokers were bulling Rock Islam the excitement was so terrific that one of them, a Mr. Fanshawe, burst a blood ves? sel. He literally "yelled" himself to death, for he is dying. On Wednesday the crash took place, and on Thursday all was serene again; the brokers who bad been sold out "under the I rule" were compromising with their creditors, and Mr. Woodward wa* on tile street, a3 smiling and cheerful as ever. Yon will re member that it was reported that several brokers went Insane on that memorable I "Black Friday," when the Grant-Flsk-Corbin fold corner was broken. Cue prominent I roker was actually sent to the lunatic asylum. Well, he ls back again on the street, engaged in business, and so also, I dare say, as all the other "Black Friday" madmen. The- lile of excitement of every one who I lives In Wall street, however, tells on the physical system In the end. Every few days we read ol the death of some "young and I promising member of the Siock Exchange." A morbid cmving for mental and physical stimulants is trie result o( the unnatural ex? istence these people lead. A day of tumult In the stock room unfits ttie warrior bull or bear for the quiet bum-drum of the domestic circle. He seeks continued intoxication in the bar rooms and the gaming table. The splendid faro hells in the neighborhood of the Fifth Avenue Hotel are said to be largely supported by the patronage of Wall Etreet brokers and speculators. What between winning and los? ing thousands by day and righting the tiger by night, and swilling champagne or brandy all the time, it ls no wonder that death nips a broker about once a week. The Marsball Hose Company, of your sister City of Savannah, have been making a pleas? ant visit to this city, and are to leave by trie steamer for home this afternoon. Their tour was extended to Boston and Charlestown, where they Joined with Colonel Jim Fisk's Regiment in doing honor to Bunker Hill Mon? ument. In this city the boys have been the St ie SM of members ot the old Volunteer Fire epartment. Last night they were presented with an elegant blue silk banner and a silver trumpet, as mementoes ol their visit to Gotham. KYM. BOWEN'S BIGAMY.

The annual banquet of the Cobden Club came off last evening. The prominent speech of the occasion was by Earl Granville, secre tary for foreign affairs. In the course or his remarks, Lord Granville said If d?finit've pro posais In reference io a French treaty of com merce were made to her Majesty's govern ment, they would be received with most friendly consideration. Passing to the treaty of Washington, Earl Granville said Mr. Cobden always aesireii mat America and England should be connected by ties of the warmest character. The speaker then praised the labors of the Marquis ol Ripon and Professor Montague Bernard in the high commission, and spoke of the settlement of the Alabama question as a great and good work both in Its relations to the past and the luture, showing bow dissensions which were, perhaps, the commencement of quarrels, should be set? tled, leaving behind only friendship, peace and good-will. Earl Granville, continuing his remarks, alluded to the United States as hold? ing a striking Protectionist opinion, but de? clared his belief that the people of that coun? try were fast coming to the conclusion that it is unprofitable to continue the collection ol enormous tariffs.

The German singing societies from the Bal? timore and Philadelphia bund, intending to participate In the coming biennial festival of the Northeastern Songerfest, arrived .1?re tbU evening and were received at the Jersey City ferry by the various New York societies. The procession was lormed, and headed by a band aHd torche?, marched to the city hall, where a large concourse of people, with the various German societies. Were walting to re? ceive them. In front of the city hall a large platform was erected, which was occupied by Mayor Hall and othtr prominent persons. As the procession halteiin front of the platform a drenching rain set In, which necessarily made the reception ceremonies very short. Emil Sauer, president of the reception com? mittee, introduced Mayor Hall to the societies in a brief speech. He accorded them, in the name of the city, a hearty welcome. At the conclusion he called for three.cheers for the singing societies. The cheers were heartily given. A like compliment was paid to the mayor, after which a general dispersion took place.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL OXTB SOLONS STILL STEWIHO OTES. THE KU-KLUX BUSINESS. The Examination of thc Witnesses Testimony or General Forrest Grant's Movements, ?Sic. * WASHINGTON, June 27. Scott and Stevenson, Republicans, and Van Trump. Democrat, have been appointed a sub? committee to visit certain portions of North' and South Carolina immediately, to inquire Into the condition of affairs. The minority ol the Ku-Klux committee are anxious that the Conservatives shall secure a full hearing be* lore this sub-committee. It is understood that the testimony of Jacobson, the present, and oi Adam, the ex-District Attorney lor Mississippi, is fully satisfactory to the Democrats on the committee. Forrest was four hours before the committee. He said that if the Ku-Klux ever existed In Tennessee, it was on ac? count ol Browniow's proclamation of '67 say? ing to the militia that they would not be molested for outrages and tbe pun? ishment of rebels, ana because ol the apprehension of injury to persons and property. Many negroes had left their homes and were prowling through the coun? try with arms in their hands. Certainly so such organization has existed in Tennessee since 1868. The people are law-abiding and deprecate disturbances as mach as those liv? ing North. The committee treated Forrest with courtesy and respect. J. R. Smith, Chan? cery Court clerk and postmaster at Meridian. Miss., testified and attributed the riot last year, and in several other instances, to the lawlessness of the so-called Ku-Klux. There are a large number of witnesses here and coming. The committee remains In session here at least two weeks. The mall six times a week has been ordered over the Atlantic and Tennessee Railroad, be? tween Charlotte and SLatesville, N. C. Grant arrives to-morrow for two days. A petition has been sent here signed bj six? ty-seven persons representing themselves as citizens of Dublin, Fayette County, Alabama, stating that the lives of loyal citizens were wholly Insecure, and that armed bands styling themselves Ku-Khix were comraltiing out? rages upon law-abiding citizens, and that the' | civil authorities were powerless. They im? ploringly appeal for protection. Pleasanton decides that property accruing to banks upon exchange of bonds ls taxable. WASHINGTON NEWS ANH GOSSIP.

The failure of the Ucited States five per :ent. loan in Europe has been awell ascertain? ed fact for some time, which recent advices [rom the various agents of the Treasury De- _ partment simply continue to confirm.

This notice ls expected to hasten the conversion of these bonds Into the new loan. As the coin balance n of the treasury shows a margin of about twenty c millions above the amount actually required onhand.it is quite manifest that the secre? tary will not be able to make very rapid pro- 8 cress in the redemption ol two or three hun- tl ured millions of matured five-twenties. ?

LONDON, June ll TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW.S. Any adopted citlzeos of Charleston who desire to obtain American passports In London will save themselves both trouble and dlsap pointaient if they bring with them their natu ralizallon papers, or certified copies of them It is impossible to enter France, at least safety, without a passport, and Mr. Moran, secretary ol Legation in this city, has power to grant that useful document to naturalized citizen who does not submit flcial proof that he has been duly naturalized I have learned from sad experience to that neither General Schenck nor Mr. Moran bas.any discretion In this matter. My own plication for a passport for Paris was flatly fused because I. could not produce my natu? ralization papers; and, In the sharpness of disappointment, I am anxious to save any your readers who may contemplate a trip the continent from a like disaster. The red tapelsm of the whole awkward business, well as its injustice, ls shown by the clrcum stance that the secretary Is only required law to "satisfy himself" of the identity ol .'native-born American'' who ls on pleasure bent, while he is compelled to exact from the "naturalized citizen" the original naturaliza Lion papers or their certified copies. Why the affidavit; of the one is not as conclusive as that of the other, neither the State Department nor Minister Schenck condescends to explain. I am your ob't serv't, ? F. W. D. LETTER FROM P ES JJ LE IO JV. The Weather-The Crops-The Air Lin' ftailroad. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] PENDLETON, June 2G. On ibe subject of the weather, since my last communication, we haye but little reason complain. The weather has been mild and seasons good, rain plenty,' but not too much [ see you are well posted by the papers aa tc he weather and state of the crops in most )f the counties of our State, and of other Southern States. Much complaint is made of .xcesslve rains and consequent discouraging Hospects of the cotton crop. Perhaps ids )etter for us, as we may realize as much on lght as on a heavy crop, and with the more mportant provision crop In a greater abund ince than since the cotton mania has so seri msly affected us. In our immediate surround ogs, and In our county, and adjoining counties generally, so lar as I have seen, or beard from armers, with whom I have conversed on the subject, we surely have less reason to com }laln than have the planters elsewhere. We ire above the cotton growing belt, aud should lot attempt its culture beyond patches nerely, but from the forcing effects of com nercial fertilizers, we are persuaded ont ol' >ur legitimate calling of farmers and graziers nto that of planters to an unprofitable extent ?be breadth ol' acres In colton in our upper listricts ls not, I presume, equal to that of last rear; but our prospects of a full crop on the ands appropriated are decidedly more encour iglng than I have ever Been at this season ol he year. We shall undoubtedly have cotton dooms hereabouts by or beiore the'first pi ox mo, whereas heretofore the lourth of July has >een considered early for the appearance of Irst blooms. Our corn is also in good condi lon and promises a full crop. If we have tad too much rain for any crop, it was for vheat, which, lrom an unusually early attack ?f rust, and some damage by the fly. will turn tut lrom the flail nor. more than nulf an aver ige crop. Oats are also much injured by rust L h?avy crop of peaches, not so of apples uost ot our trees that bore heavy crops last ear failed to bloom this year. Fertilizers generally have been used much nore sparingly this than the last season, but itch as have been used are promising favor, .ble results. Many ol our most anxious citizens have limbed the highest tree-not lor the more audable purpose of Zaccheus "bis Lord to ee"-but to look out for the Air Line Rail oad. -Our friends of Anderson have gone up .little higher than we Pendletonians, and lave a clear and distinct view of Its rapid ap iroach. Well, so be it. We would neverthe sss be pleased to see it coming along by the nore direct route of Pendleton,but are not llsposed to tax the people of our whole county o effect that object.

[From the London Graphic] Rightly taken, there are only two methods f life-the life of Impulse or instinct, and the le of consciousness or art-and the chief baracterlBtlc of man ls that he ls the only reature on this earth of ours, whose purposes o beyond his instincts, who reduces blind lm ulse to a conscious art. And among the> Blng3 which are mere impulses in the begin? ing, but which he has raised to the rank of rts by care and study, ls that of snubbing. In rtlstic- snubbing, Crude, archaic, undigested nubbing, snubbing in the rough, snubbing of he sledge hammer order, is a thing that comes y nature. You see it from the earliest age, rhen Jacky, just four, snubs Jenny, just bree, and tells her to bold her tongue, she is ?ly a Ultle girl, and dont know nothing bout it. Indeed, all elder children snub all ounger ones, as part-ol the prerogatives of eniority and the natural curriculum; the nur ery being the place where there is a perpetual utting up of cockswell crests, which are per letually pecked at till they are lowered. And he nursery is only an epitome ol the larger rorld outside. But artistic snubbing-the snub iing which is done with a purpose beyond the rlglnal instinct ol seliasserllon and the ex iression of rivalry, the snuboing that 1B keen as .rapier, subtle as a flame, swift as a lightning lash, the snubbing that Is offered witb the uost perlect good breeding and command of emper, but that stings and bites, and ol which he smart remains-this is snubbing raised to he level of an esthetic art, and one which akesnomean gilts of mind and manner to ender effective in substance and irreproach ,bleln form. Polite society, and the more l?lite the better, ls the parade ground where he art of snubbing is exercised to perfection. 1?re all the rapiers have silver handles, but he blade itself ls trenchant and strikes home, inhere is no brutal bludgeon-work, no telling a nan to bis face that he lies, that he boasts, hat he presumes, that he ls a scoundrel, or an ntrnder, as would be ID a ruder state ol' mau? ler?; but the impression of superb disdain ls' ?onvejed as daintily, as airily in the well ired snub as the passion - that once urked In a perfumed glove. And if he-victim winces at th? pain, at least he can ?ot complain -ot its method of adminis ration. Nor can he retaliate. For snubbing s not, like fencing, a game for two, but em phatlcaJIy an art for one only. When lt ceases to be singular, and. becomes dual, it ceases to be snubbing, and becomes a quarrel. Mis? tresses of all social arts, women are supreme In that of delicate but deadly snubbing. The cold stare with which they can freeze you to your roots it you Imagine that to-day is to be after the pattern of yesterday, and that a warm adieu, no one witnessing, ls to warrant a glow? ing greeting In full assembly; the calm serenity with which they contradict you flatly, ane>wltb out periphrasis or apology give you essentially the Ile direct; the seraphic Innocence with which they ignore the possibility of any of? fence in their bland assertion, li logical de? duction goes for anything, that you are a fool or a knave, or perhaps both : the dexterity with which they can strike bard when seeming to be only playing with the foils, all these rank, them capped professors of the great art of snub. And to do them Justice they are never In want of an occasion whereby to prove their proficiency. . . . Some people marry with a foregone conclusion as to tbe necessity of snubbing on one side or the other; and so, to make sure ol not being the victim, are care? ful to take the initiative and be t'ne'execu tloner. They live In the perpetual exercise of | the art, and by practice obtain a cunning equal to that which enables a marksman to split a bullet on - a penknife. Sometimes it is the wife which ls snubbed out of all chance-of the most elementary self-assertion-sometimes lt is the husband, for the good ot whose soul the wife undertakes the task of his.personal humiliation. ... Like the venom of cer? tain reptiles, continuous snubbing has a curi? ously benumbing effect on the moral system, ind after a time produces a paralysis of the self-respecting faculties both odd and painful to witness. People unused to snubbing, who zo where the art is practiced, are amazed at ibe quietness with which the patient re- j :elves impertinences which thrill them with indignation to hear. They expect some tina o? protest, if only of the mildest kind, ?vhen the wile, looking across the table, says n a clear voice, audible to the whole compa? ny, --John, you have told that story so often .hat you seem to imagine lt trae: you know it lever happened;" or when the husband cuts ils wife short in her narration by setting her :o rights, altering her dates, rearranging her acts, paring off ber details, and so on, giving rou to understand by the manner o? his snub .hat she ls a fool and he ls the possessor of a superior wisdom, which makes you long to tick him on the spot. But the husband ac :epts the rebuke with the patience of a pac h y lerm tickled by a straw, and the wife sub? sides into her assigned position of Insignifi? cance and Inaccuracy; and both display a weetness under discipline, saintly if you will, )ut surely, to the deeper insight, tragic on the me band, and slavish on the other.
