[From the- Boston Post, July 19.] We mentioned in our columns, yesterday, the presence in-Boston o? a most remarkable I child, the offspring of Joseph and Ann'E.- Fin-1 ley. It presented the remarkable as veli as unprecedented phenomenon of two heads, four arms, and two legs, and all upon a Bingle, body. The girl-for such was its sex-died > last evening at No. 6 'Bowdoln street. The Qrst hall or head breathed its last at 6, and the second shortly after 8 o'clock. The many thousands in the Westen? or Middle States who have seen thia 'marvellous eccentricity of J nature will learn its- early I death with .regret. The child-or children aa it would almost seum firoper to allude to the: phenomenon-had en- j oy.od excellant hoalth -irom ber birth, ni no months ago, until within two weeks, at which time one exhibited signs ot Illness. This, however, was but temporary. It recover? ed and was bright and play tul. ? Since reach? ing Bostonea few days since, the other-or the other barf-was taken sick and died yester? day afternoon, as already staled. -The two portions of the body ?vern so Intimately con-, 1 nected that the death of one rendered that of j the Other lue vii able. The spectacle' wqs equ al? li novel, strati ge, and unparalleled. Upon one end*of the body reposed the bead ot'the dead infant; upon the other that o? the live one with its eyes still bright and curious, and its' | lungs in full breathing order. All that medi? cal aid could accomplish was done, but it was found unavailing.;, The child died in the pres? ence of lu parents.'' The corpse presents the appearance of two Infants asleep. Apparently they escaped the ordinary suffering incident to death, for the countenances had the expression ot' repose. The disposition of the body is not determined-upon. Several of our physicians were desirous, last evening, of having lt open? ed for examination. It ls doubtful if the parents consent. They reside in Monroe County. Ohio, and live upon a farm. They have other children, but hone have exhibited any unusual developments. Nor can this ex? traordinary departure from the laws of nature be accounted for. Tn Philadelphia, where all the medical Solong undertook to solve the ftroblem. nothing whatever was brought to igiit. The child was looked upon with amaze? ment and interest, but all attempts to account for its existence were futile. It ls regarded as more ot a curiosity than the Siamese twins. The parents were especially devoted to the little marvel, and their sorrow ls grievous. THE WEATHER TT 'S DAY. WASHINGTON', July -23. It ls probable.that the rain will extend on Monday from Kansas to Lake Michigan and northwards, with easterly winds on the Upper Lakes. Pleasant weather will probably con? tinue, in the Middle and Eastern States, and the interior ut the South Atlantic Slates. * Yesterday's Weather Reporta of the Signal Service, U. S. A.-4.47 P. ru.

TER LEGACY.;' Feat!s Growing Between the American and Irish Democrats-Governor Hoff? man to be tho Scapegoat-Virulence of Che Celtic Prcas-Remarkable Qui? etness or the clty-s (.agnation in Wall Street, .and Empty Boxea at the Theatres. [FROM O0B OWN COE RE 3 PONDS NT.] % NEW YORK, July 19. 'People have not ceased yet to talk about the riots. Probably they would pass out of mind like all other nine days'wonders, if it were not for the efforts ot the partisan press to keep the subject before the public. The Radical papers-see a good chance to make party capital, and therefore abuse the Gover-1 nor, the city authorities and the Democracy, with Impartial industry. A very bitter quarrel ls springing up between the Irish Democrats on the one side and the American born and Uer- j man Democrats' on the other, relative to the I responsibility of Governor Hoffman for the P slaughter of Wednesday. The Irishmen hold j that Mayor Hall was right In forbidding the Orangemen to parade; that ii ' his order bad been carried out there would bave been no j procession, and consequently no riot and bloodshed, and that r>overnor Hoffman ia re? voking the order and promising protection to I the Orangemen, inflamed the passions of those I who.hated the Orangemen, and made the riot and bloodshed possible. The feeling against the Governor-is extreme? ly virulent. Meetings of Irish citizens are being held in ali the wards, for the express purpose of denpuncing him. The following J pithy resolutions, adopted last night In the , Fourteenth Ward, dre a sample of all of I them: , Resolved, That, while deploring the meian-1 choly consequences brought about by the late 11 party riots, we utter it as our solemn convie-1 , tlrin that to Governor Hoffman Is maln??ue , the blood .thai was shed on July 12, ntPthe 1 streets of our city. .Resoiued, That had he, as he wa? bound to ' j have done, put afltop to the Orange demon-1 stratton, peace and quietness would have I reigned, and the Innocent would not have I ' suffered with the guilty. ' . lt Resolved, That we denounce-the conduct ol the militia as cow rdly, and nothing but a wanton ft cr i flee of life upon their, patt. 11 Resolved, That we withhold, in future, our I political support lrom Governor Hoffman, should he eyer claim our suffrage.. ' The Hibernian societies in New York and Brooklyn are also passing anti-Hoffman reso-1 lotions. The Fenian Brotherhood, on. Friday night, took the same position. The officers of I ' the Irish Brigade, an association ot veterans of the late civil war, have appointed a commit tee to matte pr ?parations for a monster anti Hoffman mass' meeting. The Irish and Irish-American newspai TS are not be hind their constituency .. this warfare on h the Governor. The World by implication, and I < the Star directly, place the responsibility for I < the riots on him. The purely Irish papers, lure the Irish People, the Irish World and Saint I Peter, are furious. The former reads its leading article : "Is. Joba T. Hoffe .m, Gov- I. amor of the State ol New York, a murderer ?" and proceeds to prove that be ls. "Hoffman, the murderer," are the words on a huge pla-1 ;ard posted on the street fences ana show boards. The anger ol the irish press against 11 the' military ls no less pronounced; One of I j che papers, before mentioned, repeats between 11 avery paragraph in Its columns these Unes'; I < 'Tray lor the souls of the people murdered by i .he military on the 12th or July." i It must not be supposed that this torrent of i invective excites ne feeling oh the other side, i The Herald and Sun are, perhaps, just at pres- 1 sut, toe leading exponents'ot the sentiments f, al the American Democrats: The German i Democratic papers speak ' for their people. They Bland by the Governor, and eulogize the conduct of the militia. -The Americans affect to be indignant' that "any foreign element mould presume to dictate now an American ai ty should be governed"-(I quote the language of a morning, paper.) It an anti- < Bodman mass meeting comes off, undoubted? ly there will be a meeting of- the Governor's xlends called. So the quarrel goes on, and . .he Radicals are striving to make the most 31 lt. What will bethe upshqt ot all this? Hoff man as'a Presidential candidate is unquestion? ably laid on the shelf for tho present. The Irish vote would defeat him in this city. With- I out the city the Democrats could not carry the i state, and without the State they would proba? bly lose the nation. Still Hoffman is very \ ponular with the'rural Democracy of this Slate, I ?nd his recent course has.probably pleased 1 many Republicans. But for the sake of har- ? - mo ny in the party ranks I suspect he will be I sacrificed, and perhaps will not himself object 1 to be the-scapegoat. I have no idea that the ] present quarrels will- -have any .permanent ef- ] feet on the party strength. BeLre the great i overshadowing question, a year hence, whether ' Grant's administration shall be continued in I power lour years more, these petty local dif- j terence's will sink into insignificance. - ' It 1B worthy of notice that since the firing i on the mob last week the City of New York I has been remarkably quiet.' The pollee report < that there has not been a time lorjears when | the city has been so tree of murders, robberies ? and other crimes. Whether or not innocent people were' slaughtered by the soldiers, it is i certain that the dangerous classes were stun- < ned with fright. This comatose state is, of course, only temporary. Everybody expresses admiration for the police. They are cha only participants in the riots who have come out of them without making enemies.- The police commissioners, in deference to the sentiments of the community, have* issued an order that : he -members of the force, in squads of one hundred at a time, shall each enjoy three days leave of absence with pay. The midsummer dullness 1B making havoc with business' in Wall street and at the thea? tres. On the stock exchange transactions are so few at times that it is impossible lo obtain quotations. Ninety per cent, of brokers and a hundred per cent, of outside speculators have gone from town^ The gold room has the same deserted appearance. A knot ot not more than a dozen weary-looking young men stand in the centre of the room discussing the races or the riots, and occasionally some one sings out, "Well, how much ls bid !" which elicits no response. The board could make a better show at Long Branch, Saratoga or New? port, or even at Sharon Springs, than in its own home in Broad street. Only one of the theatres, Wallack's, hi pay? ing expenses. The summer manager, Mr. Moss, has produced Bouclcault's latest play, "Elfie," which ls liked. The other th??tres present a dreary array of negrp minstrelsy, acrobatics and the feeblest klud of sensation melo-drama. Booth's and the Grand Opera House are closed, and the Fifth Avenue Thea? tre closes to-night. Our best stock actors are buying summer villas at Long Branch. Mrs. John Hoey was the first Thespian settler at that place, and has an elegant house and grounds Lester'Wal lack went there next, and now, Clustered around him and the Hoey s, ls the best theatrical society, in America. Within a stone's throw oC Lester Wallack's place are .the -residences of the Chaniraus, John W. Wallack, Floyd, Lawrence Barrett, Ac, who keep open house to their brother and sister professionals. A sale Just completed of the Interest of the late Henry J. Raymond in'the New York Times shows how valnable'some of the news? paper property has become. Mr. Raymond owned thirty-four shares, and the widow has sold them to ex-Congressman (not ex-Goyer nor) E. B. Morgan, of Cayuga County, for $375,000, which is at tue rate of over $11,000 per share. AB .there are loo shares-in all, the value of the Times concern must therefore be rising of a million ol dollars. George Jones and E. B". Morgan now own most of the stock eighty-two Bhares. The Taylor estate owns ten, and A. V. Stout, president of the Shoe and Leather Bank, eight. The Tribune and Herald are reported to be more valnable con-, cerns than the Times. Three' years' 'ago Mr. Marble paid, ior the last remaining quarter of ?i on ftn?rldA,tne youngest of the quartette, $100,000. The concern IB now supposed to be worth over halt a million bi dollars.

When the colt Longfellow was .recently Bold to John Harper for about five dollars an ounce, 1 people generally thought that the price was a rather nigh one; but when tho animal the other day at Saratoga made his mlle in 1.40, the opinion was just as general that Mr. John Harper was a very fortunate man. Poor Her? zog's time on the Buckeye Course two years ago-a mlle In 1.43 J-was looked upon as a most wonderful achievement; and when at Lexington last spring Buford's colt salina knacked off the half second and came round In Just 1.43, the "lastest running time on re? cord" was believed to be established tor many years to come. Now, however. Kingfisher, makes his mlle In 1.4-1, and loses the heat hy a second to this new wonder ol poetic name and practical achievements, ABOUT EKG COTTON. MOVEMENT OF THE ST AELE FOB THE j WEEK. - . ? * i* Great Falling Oft* In the Receipt*. '?? : NEW YORK, July 23:/ The cotton movement shows a large falling off in the recelpte, and a considerable increase in the exports. The receipts at all of tire ports have been 10,661 bales, against 15,386 the last, 18,468 the previous and 18,197 three weeks since. The total receipts since September have been 3,956,798 bales, against 2,843,084 for the corresponding period of the-previous year, showing an increase of 1,113,714 bales In favor, of the present season. The exports from all of the ports for the week have been 19,271 bales, against 12,712 bales tor the same week last year. The total exports ' tor the expired portion-;of the cotton year, have been 3,095,547 bales, against 2,159,899' for the same time last year.

The first bale of new cotton was received to. day by express from Columbus, Texas, con-1 signed to Falke & Wilkins. ;, J " ' NEW YORK, July 22. A bale of cotton raised by W. B.

The bale weigh? ed 443 pounds._y? THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN] SOUTH CAROLINA. Greenville. "On Saturday afternoon," says the Moun- J talneer, bf July 19, "a very heavy storm "of wind and rain passed over this, city, pros? trating several fruit and shade trees, and In? juring others by breaking off their branches. East ot the city, we learn, a very heavy fall of I hail occurred on some of the farms, ey which the corn blades Were pelted into ribbons, and much bf the corn blown down. At the com? mencement ol the storm, the residence of Mr. T. H. Cole, five miles east of this place, was struck by lightning,'the stroke taking effect on the corner of the building, doing bnt slight damage outside, and then making its way inside to a closet, where it scattered the glass and crockery therein, and splintered a portion of the wood-work. In this room, a | girl was sitting with'one of Mr. Cole's children in her lap. They were both thrown to. the floor by the shock, but suffered no injury. Beyond the alarm created by the sudden dan? ger, none of the rest of the family were af-1 fected." LAnrens. Showers have fallen in various sections of | Laurens during the last few days, and the crops are revived. Bain ia still wanted in some sections. - The Lanrensville Herald says; "We learn from a gentleman who has been over a large portion of the district recently, that the crop ,| prospects,'corn especially, have not been more flattering since '52, than at present," . , . Oconee. The Keowee Courier says : "Around Wal. halla, and from what weean learn, the treater part ot the county, the crops are suffering lorrain. A drought following a wet spring produces the greatest possible injury, and this we now justly apprehend. We do not fe ir a less 50d than will supply'homo consumption, but we believe the corn crop will fall conside? rably below that of1870. Since the above was written, we have not only had an abundance of rain, buta destructive wind storm. Corn was snapped off and blown in every conceiva? ble direction. A number of shade trees In town were blown down.4 Union. . The Union Thnes of July 21st says : "We regret to state that all prospects for rain in this section pave blown off, and we.-uear muoh anxiety expressed for the corn crop. A few weeks ago this crop gave promise of great abundance,, but lt is feared the present drought has cut It off very materially. The cotton, where the ground was deeply ploughed, looks well, but in shallow soil lt begins, to droop." ? ' -Torie. On Thursday last Jack Brooks, alias James Jackson Brooks, a negro aged about twenty years, .in the employ or John S.

I lind this wat erl D LT place ja really pleasant summer retreat, wi th charming scenery, first class society, and unexceptionable charges. Leaving Salisbury on the arrival of the cars lrom the South, about 6 o'clock, A. M., the ride on the Western-Boad ls delightful through fields of corn, by thriving villages, now skirting the crest of a magnificent land scape, and now dashing through a great oak forest. The ride ls all that railroad riding. | ought to be. The distance from Salisbury io the springs ls less than sixty miles, and the visitor arrives In good time for dinner. As to the location of the springs, nature bas done all that ls desirable. They are ht the foot of j the mountains, with abundance of all things good to eat, the purest air and the finest scenery. The grounds at the place form a splendid amphitheatre of ten or fifteen acres, shaded by fine native oaks and maples, cover? ed with a handsome green sward, and taste? fully intersected with carriage roads and foot j paths- In all directions. Elegantly arranged on the crest of the amphitheatre are three large three-story buildings and'twelve cottages, ail white, well furnished, and having every coli- ^ celvable convenience-the whole capable of j accommodating four hundred guestB. -In the centre ls a showy pavilion for the band, where delicious music comes In abundance. The white sulphur spring, handsomely enclosed' l? marble, ls a bold stream in quantity, and in qnallty second to none bf Its kind. Near this ls a blue sulphur spring, said to be a panacea for scrofula, and impracticable sores generally. About one hundred yards from these, is a most delicious chalybeate spring, sparkling and beautiful. In connection with both springs, and also with one of good.soit water, are fine baths, both not and cold. No where hare I found better water or a greater variety. Every kind of accommoda? tion is afforded by the surroundings, and thc very best attention is given .by well-trained servants, and by Mr. Wyatt, the proprietor. In the way of recreation and amusement, all reasonable demands can be suited. There is a fine parlor, with a Buperb plano and other ap-1 pliancies; a ten-pin alley, a spacious ball-room, and a skating rink, conducted by the accom? plished and gentlemanly W. H. H. Gregory, ol Charlotte Seekers of health or pleasure, or both, will here find every advantage medicinal waters can usually afford, and all the advanta- j gesoi the very best climate for a summer re? sort. The springs areDf easy access, the ac? commodations inferior to none-in the Union, and yet the expense ls small compared with nearly-all the fashionable summer ' resorts.,I lt is to be hoped our Southern people will visit [ these springs and see. for themselves.' Many ol them will not be "convinced by anything except experience. If, pney Btart to Virginia or further North, let them stop at Salisbury, I N. C. Seven dollars will pay thc expense to ?tba springs and back; lt will cost but little to examine, and I am satisfied upon examina? tion most of them would remain. ". CHARLESTON. NO TAXES TO BE BEFJ7NDED, WASHINGTON, July 23. The solicitor of the Treasury, in a-long opin? ion, holds that where parties act under a deci? sion of the commissioner of revenue they are not liable, should the judiciary department subsequently overrule the commissioner's de? cision. This defeats the claim of the govern? ment for the tax on -bonds, coupons and divi? dends, for the five months between September, 1870,- and January; 1871.' Where officers of corporations, under the commissioner's d?ci? sion, failed to withhold the tar, the opinion holds that In withholding the tax the officers of corporations act as agents of the govern? ment, and are not equitably responsible for the legall ty of the commissioner's opinions and Instructions. .. ?-. ! THE ZA UBENS ll ATT, ROAD FRAUD. [From the Laurensville Herald.) The conduct ot the Greenville Railroad pro? prietors, of which Governor Scott ja said to be magna pars, In respect lo the Laurens Rail? road, is the most unblushing piece of rascality of which Radicalism has been guilty in this State. ' Notwithstanding this road was proba? bly as solvent aa any in the State at the close of the war, lt had to go^Ihto bankruptcy for the probable reason that Its stock was so gen? erally distributed as that the fate of the road was of no Interest to any individual or set of men. The consequence was that at the close of the war the road was#ubstantlally deserted. At the sale of the road, now nearly a year ago, ? by order of the'Un i ted States District Court/ . the Laurens community made vbona fide bid of one hundred thousand dollars or therea? bouts for the road and' franchises; but the Greenville Company put-forward a bid by a man of straw, and- the road was knocked down to this agent of that company. The terms "of the Sale were not complied with.' After the lapse of considerable time the Uni? ted States Court at Charleston permitted the Greenville ' Railroad Company to assume this bid, and altered the terms of sale so as to suit the convenience of the Greenville and Co? lumbia Railroad Company. There are no appearances . to Indicate that the parties controlling the Greenville Dallroad Company Intend to nut the?Laurens Railroad In running order. If work- were commenced to-day, it could not be got in condition to car? ry the growing crop of cotton. We believe: that if the road had- been resold, tho road! would now bein progress ot reconstruction. The Greenville Railroad Bing had no other idea than speculation In this Infamous transac? tion. The fraud has, and - will, work a loss of millions to this .community. The court has un-, wittingly, (we trust and believe,) lent Itself to the consummation of this great wrong. The order of the' court, In this respect, should be - rescinded, and the road resold. Were lt not that the State Interest ls controlled by the1 Radical vampires who- control the Stale, the stockholders might be called together, and put again in control of the affairs of the com? pany. '. _ FOREIGNNOTES AND GOSSIP. -Tile Earl of Aylesbury Acently drove from : the Ascot races, Englanurand as 'he did so' sprinkled pedestrians along the road with flour, a bag of which he had lo his coach. He was arrested and tined $10 for bis frolic. -En gland is evidently preparing for ' the "Battle of Dorking," for a correspondent of the Pall Hall Gazette says : "That the JLords of' the Admiralty have placed a detective at the' entrance of their hall, who.allows no one to enter until his name ls ascertained and the ob? ject he has in view. This information ls writ ten down in a book, and at the close of the day' conveyed to the chief clerk." , -Henri Bochefort has received-communica? tion ol the Indictment on which-he ls to be tried In Paris.

" ?- ." -On July 1,1801, exactly sev?iity veers ago, one of the first steamboats ever built made a. trial trip on the Thames. This ls the account of it given by the London papers of the day.-. "An experiment bas taken place or. the river tor the purpose of working' a barge br any other- heavy craft against win a and tide, by means of a steam engine, on a very simple con? struction. The moment the engine waa set to work the barge was brought about, answering her helm quickly; and she proceeded to make way against a strong ebb tide, at the . rate of nearly two miles and a half'an hour/' -The Rothschilds own 1M splendid build? ings In Paris, and lt is noted as a singular face', that hot one of these houses was in tile least! damaged oy shells, either during the siege by the Germans cr during the fierce sway of the; Commune. But though lucky in their Paris properly, the Rothschilds were not so fortu? nate in their financial transactions, as they are said to have sustained a loss by the. war of 70,000,000 ?races, According to a Dublin jour? nal, however, they made that amount during the same period by withdrawing in.time from' an unfortunate speculation, whereby they would have lost another - ?2,000,000, This would seem to leave them about .even In the matter of loss and gain. -The brief visit of the Crown Prince of Ger? many to his mother-in-law and other relatives In England does not appear to have been very ?nthuslastlcally received by Queen Victoria.: The Prince came en famille, even the last ba? by being on hand In pink and white drapery, carried by a nurse. But so far from meeting with expressions of royal, or even maternal favor, not a palace was opened for them and they found shelter only at the house of the Prussian Ambassador. The Prince and Prin? cess ot Wales kindly met them at the landing, took them Into the city In the royal saloon car. and subsequently Invited them to several luncheons and dinners: but the only meeting with the Queen took place at a garden party given by the Prluce and Princess of Wales, and that only for a short time. They had the royal box nt' the opera, and Count Berns toff did all he could in the way of entertainment and welcome; but th? unpleasant fact remains that Victoria snubbed her children in a man? ner so emphatic that even the commoners talk about it.
