VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. ECHOES OF OUR VICTORY. FURTHER COMMENTS OF THE INDE ?> PENDENT PRESS. . Charleston Delivered." [From the St Louis Republican.] It would be hard to imagine any local poli ti? cs! event that could give more general satis? faction throughout the land than the signal defeat of Radicalism in the municipal election at Charleston last Wednesday. The people of that city have endured the. lotti oppression of negro and carpet-bag rule imposed on them, with a patience that was little less than heroic Such au oppression In any Northern city would have produced au insurrection long ago;.but the Charlestouians have submitted to it almost without a protest, because any act of opposition would have been voted a revival of the "rebel? lion," and been put down at once by federal arms. Their patience has at last been reward? ed by the decisive overthrow of the oppres " sing power In their recent election. The Citi? zens' movement was not a white movement: i Its ticket contained the names of several re? spectable and worthy colored men, who are elected along with the other candidates. The triumph therefore ls simply a triumph of de? cency and honesty over a local party that knows little of either.. The whole country will rejoice with'the people of Charleston over their deliverance. A Glorious Triumph. [From the Boston Post.] "*The mannerof the election was conceived in the iniquity of Radicalism. November ls the usual period of the election, but the Con? servative or Reform party having carried the city last year by a small majority, the time of holding the election was changed by the Radi? cal Legislature to August, as a season when a Eortlon of the white population would be like y to be away from the city. This .act of the Legislature was so grossly outrageous that even Governor Scott was compelled to apolo flze for approving it, by say in jr lhat he had one BO through inadvertence. The Conserva? tives, however, accepted the situation with -u out remonstrance, and without dismay, and, Vwlth a courage which doe3 them great honor, foughi the battle of freedom and of honest and representative government, and tri umphed gloriously. The contest, however, -was against great odds, and the victory was won only by undaunted effort. The Contest Won by Colored Votes. [From the New York Son. ] Next In significance to the main fact that 1 the Republicans were beaten "at the Charles? ton, S. C., election, stands the other fact that tfc'W were beaten by colored votes. General Wagduer, the successful candidate for Mayor. IQ hts speech to the crowd which congratulated him on his triumph, took pains tb thank. In the most cordial terms those colored voters who .supported him, and assured IL.m that their race should be fairly and proportionately re? membered In the distribution of the offices at his disposal. A Warm Tribute .from Georgia. [From the Brunswick AppeaLl God bless the old city, tben, from Sumter to St. Michael's, from Border ta "Battery." May she "shine like the daughter of Tyre with a ?tft." May she be blessed more in . "Her tatter end than her beginning." This triumph In the ' -City of Charleston ol conservatism and InLeg jU-y over vi?auous corruption and blackguard role, is one which must find welcome and ap? probation wherever good men dwell and de? cent deportment is esteemed. -We leel con? vinced that this return to righteous rule and a .-decent regard for the opinions of mea bodes well for- , Charleston and Carolina. We are sa tis Qed. that the .acknowledged pru? dence anet; ?good sense of the Charleston' people-so courteous, so Just, so bravely wed? ded to fair play-will see to lt that the ai?sire of the city are conducted with such even? handed Justice and with such manliest advan? tage, to .all her dwellers, that her colored popu -latlon will not be amongst the' last to discover in ber renewed prosperity that their best tm d truest interests are subserved lu all the sub? stantial requirements of an honest life, and an -enhanced civilization. It will be thus at ^ Charleston, under the very guns of Sumter, that the colored people of the State will learn " Jf "rebel time?" are gone, "rebel men" none . . the less know how to- be Just an'd"generous to ' their colored neighbors and former slaves. That they will not bold to the ear and break - in the fulfilment. That ll they promise the ~W colored people schools and raise funds for the same, no pilfering hand will spoil the fund and .spare the leaching. That if they promise the colored people pease, no skulking ecoundrel will dog the steps ot their honest nelghore, making of them nests of- bitter enemies to the colored man who could justas well have had In their stead troops of friends. That, when they promise land they have lt to give and dna necessary no tortuous land commission or evil minded legislative devices by which adventurous scoundrels axe helped to "plun? der" and palatial dwellings, whilst their color? ed voters and viet ima are whistled off and on with renewed and empty promises. Close np! Carolinians, close up ! and win a victory com? plete and enduring for decency and order from mountain to seaboard, from Caesar's Head to Hilton Head. 4. The Ball Opening. [From the Baltimore Sunday Telegraph.] Poor South..Carolina at last sends up one cheerful shoat. Crushed, bayoneted, pinned to Lie earth by the most cruel tyranny that beastly Ignorance and licensed lust could In? flict, she hardly dared to hope for her own re? demption, save through the luture triumphs of her sister States. With her intelligence dis? franchised; her high places filled with vulgar ruffians;semi-savaire negroes and Irresponsible carpet-baggers plundering what little sub? stance escaped the ravages ot war, or had been gathered by the Industry of her people; domi? neered over by. an alien and hostile Governor, backed by a drunken black militia; se! cted as the special sacrifice to Radical wrath; humiliated to the position of a Poland, the most abject province of a cruel and vindictive national government: ber laws made by brutes and enforced by bullies; her substance wasted and her ballot-boxes made the mere tools of ?the partisans who have ruined her, what hope could, she have, from lier own efforts or what could dispel her despair, save the promise ol a future national reform ! Yet with all this she bas struggled stubbornly for lilejpand on Wed? nesday last ber eCort was crowned with unex? pected success. Radicalism was beaten on that -day lu Charleston, the government of her principal city was rescued, and the stone the Democratic builders had for the lime being neglected, has become the first stone in ihe edifice to be consecrated lathe fail ol 1871. 9 The 1 urning Point. [From the Newberry Herald ] We heartily congratulate, the metropolis In the late glorious work of stemming the tide ot corruption which has for so long a time been beating against her noble Institutions. In the electloa of Mr. Wagener and the Citi? zens' ticket, there will be an end to misrule, turbulence and-an Infernal system of taxa? tion, which has cried "give, give," to sup Kprt - In Idleness an hundred }more or less) newly created officials and strappers, until many a widow has been robbed of her home, and restricted in the education of her children, in order to meet the tax. But a change has come, and the solid men of Charleston will now spiritedly begin the work of recuperation. Like the results ol Fort Moultrie lu '76, we ii ope that this moral victory in '71 may also be the key or turulng polut for the State's re? demption. Three Times Three for Charleston. [From the Lexington Dispatch.] The importance ol the result cannot be over? estimated tor Charleston. The effect on Radi? cal Insolence and corruptlou throughout the State must be most salutary. Had lt not been for the presence of United States soldiers the -conservative Citizens' party must have yielded the election to violence and fraud, unless they had been prepared for a fight. We have only room to add : Three times three for dear and .glorious old Charleston ! THE COMING QUEEN'S CUP YACHT RACE. American yachtmea have already, probably, won the race for the Qufen's cup, in anticipa? tion. AB announced by cable, the Livonia, which was built for the race under Commodore Ashbury's supervision, has been beaten so bad? ly by English yachts, as to make necessary her withdrawal from the coming contest. The Cambria, which has been substituted for the Livonia, beat the Dauntless In the great ocean race last year, but was beaten by several American yachts In the subsequent contest. As it has been reported that Mr. Ashbury had made the lines of the Livonia to conform 1 somewhat to American models, our yachtmen will be ready to declare that our builders are . neither to be equalled nor Imitated. CRIME IN THE STATE. The Vt vberry Homicide The Herald sa, r. "Noah D. Me tts, charged with the murder of George Poster White, was last week arrested and lodged In jail. He confessed the deed, and stated that the act was committed because Mr. White prevented his (Mett's) marriage with a young lady who resided with the family of deceased. The un? fortunate man was killed ou Saturday night as he took a Beat in the porch after supper. We learn that Mr. Elijah Pitts is charged with complicity in the case after the committal ol the act We learn that. Hr. Pitts has been ar? rested, and ls now in jail, as. being accessory to the murder after tue act.'' The Fruits or jealousy. The Columbia Union says : "An unusual ex? citement was occasioned on Arsenal Hill, on Wednesday, by a mulatte mau, Damed Charles Davis, shooting his wife. The facts are as fol? lows : Davis'leu his wile about two years ago, and went to Florida, arriving back here Sun? day last. Yesterday he returned to the house, and calling his wife into a room, locked the door upon her, and a scuttle soon followed, the screams ol the woman attracting the attention of the neighbers. one of whom, when.she reached the place, found Mrs. Davis with her head on one of the windows, and holding off a pistol, which Davis was endeavoring to point at her.. The parties finally, wrestled un ill they reached . the street, when Davis' suc? ceeded in throwing her upon the ground,, and, holding one of her hands, he discharged two barrels of tbe pistol at her while she was- in this situation, one ball taking effect in the groin, and the other in the thigh. ' Policeman ynum attempted to arrest Davis, but, being unarmed, was unable to do so, he refusing to be arrested. About this time, Deputy Sheriff Sill came upon the ground, and between them Davis was secured and lodged in jail. The nature.of the woman's wounos had not been ascertained when our. reporter left, but enough was known to pronounce them very serious if not fatal. The whole matter arose irom Jealousy." THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Barnwell. A corr pondent of the Aiken Journal says : "The corn crop, though Injured some on thin, unaided sandy lands, which are late maturing, will stlil .be large; and we will see what we have hot seen since the the wur-scores ot far ? mers having enough and ho little to spare. Cot? ton baa-not escaped"injury, but with late and propitious seasons will-do much to recover its ' loss. Gardens have suffered severely, so much so in fact that in nearly any of them you can get as many vegetables as you wish cooked, as lt were, done up brown." lexington. The Lexington Dispatch says : We had an opportunity on Monday ol hearing from most neighborhoods of this county. Farmers gene? rally say the crops, both cotton and corn, have been cut off one-third. Many say they are cul off one-half. We have had rains in nearly all sections during last ten days, but it ia too late to do much material good. Our people at least have the consolation of knowing that they are freer from debt than any county in the State, and whatever they do make will be enjoyed by themselves." Colle ton. A correspondent writing irom Walterboro' says: "Our provision crops are generally good, though in some sections they have But? lered, and are suffering irom drought. We will not have to buy any provisions next year. Though I have seen some colton crops which are suffering from rust and drought, they gen? erally promise a good yield. I was hu ut fa g on Friday on A3hepoo; the earth was so dry that lt had cracked In fissures, often two inches wide." INSURING THE FAIR SEX. Leading Insurance Companies Refusing to Accept Risk? on Women. Surprise has been caused by a distinction which certain insurance companies have made in regard to insuring women against accidents , onTallroads and steamboats. These^trfpa^l ni?s have refused to issue policies tor women, on the ground that when an alarm of Ar?is raised on a railroad car or- steamboat the ladles are BO much terrified, that accidents are" almost sure to follow. Statistics show' that losses from this class of accidents are far In excess of the whole amount of premiums paid for insuring women. With Insurance compa? nies, as with other corporations or Individuals, the .rule of seli-preservatlon is the great law governing their actions. Bisks against killing i outright are stii 1 accepted, the objections being confined to minor injuries by accidents, lt | has been proposed to get around the difficulty by increasing the rate o? premium, and this course perhaps will be adopted, although no action In regard to the matter has been taken as yet. An Increase ot twenty per cent, on the rates would, it ls claimed, not more than cover the difference in the risks of insuring men or women. An interview with one of our leading-Insurance m'en developed the follow? ing facts: Women are physically more frail than men. Accidents to them are, therefore, more liable to result seriously, and recovery ls deferred on that account. Then', again, a lady's time is usually considered less valuable than that of a man, ' She can be idle, and no Important business will be neg? lected. So she can afford to be dis? abled, and numerous instances have oc cuared where women have been slightly hurt and have feigned serious disablement for weeks and months for the sole purpose of get? ting their Insurance. For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, in this matter, the ladies ore oiten peculiar. Physicians naturally hesi? tate to Investigate this class of cases very close? ly, and it is, therefore, difficult lor the compa? nies to cuard against fraud. The leading insur? ance corporation, the Travellers' Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., have, after ma? ture deliberation, decided that lt does not pay to insure women against accidents,-and a few days ago the agents were instructed to "shut down" upon this class of applications for poli? cies. When the rule went into effect there was loud grumbling on all sides, but the agents ire inexorable. _ NEW YORK ITEMS. NEW YORK, August 10. ' At the coroner's Inquest, Superintendent Brnlsted thought there was no one on board the Westfield.that understood testing thc cor? rectness of the gauges. It is announced that the New York Central and Hudson Uiver, Pennsylvania Central and Erle Railway Companies have made another important reduction in transportation rates for all classes of freight westward. United States Inspector Stratton yesterday discovered the boiler of the Staten Island ferry boat Middleton to be so defective that light raps with the hammer made ruptures. For? tunately the Middleton has been off the line for some time. A new boiler seems absolutely necessary, as the present one ls leaky and patched. It was built in 1861. FIRST BALE FROM ALABAMA. MOXTOOMEIIY, AugUSt 10. The first bale ol Alabama cotton was re? ceived here to-day by Messrs. A. ?fc H. Slrass burger. It was raised la this county by Mr. G. G. Jackson, and ls' classed as middling.

SECRETAR F BOUTWELL'S CIRCULAR ON THE NEW LOAN. ' A Cnance for the National Banks. WASHINGTON, August 10. The Secretary or the Treasury has address? ed a letter to the national banks Informing them that arrangements have been made for the disposal of the remainder of the bonds offered by the secretary on the 28th of Febru? ary last, belng,about ono hundred and three nillllon dollars. The arrangement ls subject to the condition that the national banks' shall have the opportunity within sixty days from this day to subscribe for any sum or sums not exceeding fifty million.dollars.

Between now and the first of September, Secretary Boutwell will call for the amount of I subscription to the new loan, and considerable [ sums in addition, and commence the redemp? tion or the'five-twenties of 1862. The regulations, for applications for pen? sions, for the war of 1812, are modified. The loyalty of the.claimants must be proved, but the witnesses need not prove their loyalty, but must have a certificate of'a federal officer as to character and veracity. The total applica? tions for such pensions to date are over 30,000. NILSSON'S SUMMER RAMBLES. The Fair Swede's Reception in the White Mountains. A correspondent writes from the "Wa um be k House, White Mountains, N. H., under date of | July 2: The fair Swede's arrival here was duly an? nounced by telegram, which wildly excited even the quietest of our inmates. From that. | moment until six the piazza was crowded. At six precisely the cortege approached, Miss Nilsson and friends mounted on fine horses, followed by a travelling carriage and'outriders for her use when fatigued, and a wagon con? taining trunks and the favorite dog, a prettv Skye terrior. She wore a dark blue habit o'f the-finest broadcloth, turned back to show a blue and white ?tripped shirt, fastened with gold battons and dark blue tie; on her h*ad she wore a soft gray ielt hat, with a dent in the middle and a golden' pheasant's wing, and I la her hand she bore a whip mounted with a I bull-dog's head, moulded in silver. ~ PARLOR CONCERT. As* evening approached intense excitement prevailed; would she enter the parlor and min? gle with tho common herd or not? But yes, the lamps were lighted and in she comes. We sang "John Brown's Body,"' "Grasshopper on a sweet potato vine," "Do you.know the muffin man ?" and various oilier classic mor ceaux. Miss Nilsson, with her usual impetu? osity, jumped from her seat, grasped the hand of the delighted accompanist, and thanked him warmly, dedaring that had she not a sore throat she would Join ner&elt in the song. The elated musician, then volunteered several solos, such as "Miss Julia ls very peculiar," "I've lost, I've lost my child," <fec. We then went to Jerusalem, in the most approved style, and our labors were more than rewarded when we saw the object of our admiration laugh till the tears streamed down her cheeks. The next moving she rode away, we hope to come.aial?.a?ol?tir day. ^Dressing heran? proval of and satisfaction with everything and everybody connected with the Waumbek. SOUVENIRS Oi' THE VISIT. When Miss Nilsson had bowed a kind fare? well to us on the piazza, our first act was to compare our tokens and trophies. The musi? cian registered a sacred vow never to wash the hand she had pressed. One showed a stone her foot had grazed-In mounting her .horse, which bore these words: "Nilsson touched me;" one triumphantly showed tbe pack of cards-with which she played Califor? nia Jack; and one cherished a bit of bread marked by her tiny teeth; another announced her Intention of appropriating the pillow-case on which her lovely blonde loons had been laid, and still another hoped to make his for? tune by tearing up the plank upon which she first stepped, converting it into matches and ! selling them at an immense price, with a por? trait on the Dox, under the name ol Nilsson Musical Matches.

Visit of the Princennd Princess Impe? rial of Germany to Great Britain? Brilliant Receptlns, dec. On the afternoon of fe G th Instant, as brief? ly announced by cable,:he Grown Prince and Princess of Germany ari red in England on a visit to the royal lamil;, The Imperial trav? ellers, who were bore-from Ostend iaher Majesty's yacht Vlotorii escorted by the Al? bert, were received at Gravesend by Count Befnstorff, the Germanunbassador, and suite, and Viscount Sydney ad Lord Fitzroy, and oilier distinguished per o nages. The London Telegraph gives the foliwing account of THE AK LYAL, By 4 o'clock the roy? yacht could be dis? tinguished slowly rounilng the Chapman, but lt Vas not until a few mnuies after 5 that she arrived off the custoas-house quay. Just Iben a Swedish vessel histed a gay display of bunting, and the band on board a Russian corv?tte-of-war, which ay close to where'the Victoria and Albert had anchored, struck up the German national mt hem. Immediatelv lhe Tilbury and Graveend Batteries opened fire with a royal salute, >nd were answered by the heavy guns ol the'Russian man-of-war. Count Bernstorff and Us attaches, accompa? nied by Lord Sydney, lord Fitzroy and Col? onel Du Plat, now pu off lu a boat and boarded the yacht. . Aftir a hearty welcome, followed without loss of time by the dispatch to land ot numerous carpet-bags and - boxes, the German flag was hwered from the main ot the royal yacht, aid placed on board the pinnace, and their Imperial Highnesses left for the shore. The tiring Irom . the bat? teries and the Russla?shlp now Increased in vigor, the sharp reports of the heavy guns on board the corvette telling rath? er unpleasantly on the en's of those assembled. As the pinnace approaihed, the sun, which had been bidden by clouts, shone out, and be? came the signal-albeit, at that same Instant Lords Sydney and Filzrof, who had meanwhile returned to shore, ralsec their bats, and that might be taken as the ignal-for the crowds which lined the way on luth sides lo cheer our royal visitors, which tley did most heartily. Jumping ashore the Cnwn Prince extended his hand to the Princes;, who .quickly follow? ed, and their Imperial Hlrhnesses then stepped out briskly, preceded ty Lords Sydney and Fitzroy, the Princess leming on her consort's arm, while Friedrich Wi h elm. a sprightly lad off ll years, linking lil- arm la that of his mother, walked jauntlk along. Then came a nurse with the baby Aice, and Heinrich, the second son, two or threi maid servants bring? ing up the rear of this ll tie procession. The Royal visitors proceeded in carriages to the station amidst the theers of the crowd, and took the train for London, where they were met by the Prince ind Princess of Wales, the Princess Louise, andlhe Marquis of Lorne. A short stay was made and their Imper al Highnesses drove to iht residence ol Count Bernsloff. [. RECEPTION AI THE eBUSSIA HOUSE. The Mu s tri?os travellers were meantime very noxiously expected at Prussia House, where lhe visible prepaiatlons for their re? ception were of the most simple yet graceiul and expressive character. As far os the ball was concerned, there wai no other decoration thau two prettily contrived banks of foliage made up of firs and sub-tropical shrubs. At the loot of the staircase dwarf palms and flowering plants were tastefully set out, and conspicuous upon a table lay the bouquet which was to be the emblem of wel? come to the Princess, and the laurel-wreath which was lo' symbolize to the Imperial Prince the joy and pride of his German hosts in receiving such a guest. Everything lu lhe happy ceremony was to be homely, 'German, and free lrom theatrical effect. Indeed, the nearest approach to any intended d?monstra? tion was to be seen in a groupe, ol little lads, most of them with the flaxen hair and blue eyes ot the Northland, who, under the care of a watchful pair of eyes, sat about the foot of the grand staircase, with straw hats in their hands, wreathed with blacksand white ribbon. Illjr.u xeoV? iwholnTO faom ?rror Xian ; P.L.Mr. Anderson's school-at which the sons of the Prussian ambassador have all been educated; and the youngest, "Count Jonnie." stood in the school uniform among his comrades, walting to bear his part in the chorus ot wel? come and triumph which tke^were to sing. WELCOME. By-and-by, just when inside the ambassado? rial threshold "expectation fainted tor what ic bad not," there was a surge of cheering from tho crowd thronging the front, and lt was clear they had arrived. The Utile choristers tell into Line, and struck up the. first notes of the Abschied-lied. The song made a charming "Wilkomen," rolling out to meet the royal travellers as they ascended lhe steps and en? tered the hall. When they bad come in, the Countess Victoria Berustorff gracefully ad? vanced, and, dropping a most courtly curtesy, presented to his Imperial Highness the crown ot'laurels, pronouncing, at the same time, some German verses composed for the occasion. When lhe verses had been-charmingly pro? nounced, the little Count came forward behind his elster, and kneeling, presented to the Crown Princess the great bouquet of British roses. Here also lhere was a speech to be spoken trippingly on the tongue. Oount John's brief metrical address ran In this way: My roses take, with ivy clasped around Symbnl of love forever fast sud bound, On this hl?rh day be welcome, Princess here Welcome a thousand times, guests royal and dear. Thus pleasantly and enthusiastically crown? ed and enriched, the travellers made ihelr wav Into the house. The Prince and Princess of Wales shortly aiterwurds took their leave, and their Imperial Highnesses theu dined with a select party, twenty-two covers only being laid. A GRIMAN SERENADE. After dinner, a very Interesting feature In the evening's proceedings was a serenade, given under the direction of Slr Julius Bene? dict, to their Imperial Highnesses by mem? bers of various German musical societies es? tablished In London. Although but little no? tice had been given ol this ?mended graceful homage belore hind, lhe response was so ready that during dinner about a hundred and filly singers assembled on the terrace In front of the banqueting hall. At a given signal, Maurer's "Der Gesang," the first of lhe three selected national "lieder," was given with wonderful effect and precision. This was followed by Kreutzer's "An jins Vaterland," and the 'serenade concluded with Kalli woda'a stirring melody "Das Deutsche Lied." So admirably did the members of this Impromptu Liedertafel sing together under the guidance of their distinguished conductor, that it was difficult to conceive that they came irom different associations, and lt might easily have been imagined that they had been in the constant habit of practicing together. Indeed, four-part singing could scarcely have been heard to greater advantage under any circumstances. At the conclusion of the sere? nade, a deputation of lhe various "Vereine," Headed by Sir Julius Benedicl and Herr Berg? mann, waited on the Grown Prince sud Prin? cess in the drawing-room, the latter gentle? man presenting their Imperial Highnesses with an address of congratulation on the hap? py termination of the war. FREE AND SOCIABLE. The Prince then conversed with members of the deputaiion. and the steps becoming In the meantime thronged by the "rank and file" of the choir, his Highness stepped out ou the bal? cony, and chatted pleasantly and affably with many of his compatriots, questioning them as to their nationality, occupation lu England, and such matters.

(Signed,) U. S. GRANT. THE WHlRTO?f CASE. CURIOUS AND PERSISTENT ATTEMPTS IO POISON. Following; a Victim with a Dish of Clam Soup. [From the Ballimore American.] Scarcely a day passes that does not bring ont some new fact or rumor with regard to Mrs. Wharton's singular mania for administering potions suspected of being poisonous. The latest case is that ot Urs. William E. Al? cock, who resides at No. 267 North Eutaw street, two doors from the house lately occu? pied by Mrs. Wharton. It seems that Mrs. Alcock had agreed to ac? company Mrs. Wharton in her contemplated trip to Europe. Something induced Mr. Alcock to start sooner than at first expected. Mrs. Wharton was very much disappointed, and urged Mrs. A. to induce ber husband to walt for her. Mrs. Alcock called.upon Mrs. W. the day she was to leave. Mrs. Wharton urged her to stay to dinner. Mrs. ' A. excused her? self fer want of time. About the usual dinner hour, after Mrs. A. had returned, home, a ser? vant came from Mrs. Wharton's with a dish of CLAM SOUP, which Mrs. Wharton bad sent her. Mrs. A. expressed her thanks, and remarked how nice lt looked. The servanted : "Mrs. "?..? dotft think it's nice, and Twouldn't eat U ii I was you." "Why?" said Mrs. A., "I am very fond of It, and this looks so nice ?" "SOMETHING ? IT." The servant again expressed her want of confidence in the soup, saying, "There might be something put in it: somebody might have put something in it; I don't think lt's good,!' ?cc. ?cc Mrs. A., however, took the soup, thinking very strange all the while of the remarks of the servant, and wondering what it could mean. Her anxiety finally Induced her to try the soup, which she did, but verv sparingly. Immediately after partaking of the soup she left the house. Alter .getting on the steamer she became QUITE SICE, and continued to be strangely affected during the voyage-the remarks of the servant about the soup continually haunting her memory. Her husband and herself had promised Mrs. Wharton, who was expected to take the next steamer for Europe, to walt for her on their arrival in England, but a telegram from Balti? more simply informed them not to wait, giving no explanation of the cause of ber detention. LETTER FROH MRS. ALCOCK. Lately a letter from Mrs.' Alcock reached Baltimore, addressed to one of her friends, written Immediately alter her arrival in Eng? land, In which, not knowing anything of the charges against Mrs. Wharton and ot her ar? rest, she" refers to ber sickness, attributing lt to the soup of which she had partaken, men? tions the STRANGE REMARKS of Mrs. Wharton's servant, and says that the warnings given her about the soup were In her mind all the time, and had caused her infinite trouble and anxiety. THE OLD WORLD'S NEWS. The Communi?t Trials-Excitement In thc Court-The Orneen Called on to Preserve Order. PARIS, August 10. At the sitting of the court-martial to-day, witnesses testified that they saw Ferry release convicts and give them arms. Abbe Derchy said he had served 25 years as.a missionary among the savages, and never had he witness j ed atrocities equal to those perpetrated by Communists. He said that among the mem? bers of the court-martial, held by Insurgents in Rocquette prison, "there-were boys of s eve n LTCU. ami ujn>it?i?d tue ehare he had taken in the executions of captured prisoners, and defended them on the ground that they were Justified by law as a retaliation 'resorted to by all civilized nations in time of war. The ex? traordinary statements of the witnesses and the audacity of the accused caused frequent scenes o? excitement in the court-room, which was crowded to suffocation. The president ot the court was obliged to call on the officers several.times- to enforce order during the ses? sion. LONDON, August 10. Marshal McMahon and Count Flasigny are expected to visit Ireland. A meeting is called for Hyde Park on Sun? day next to protest against prohibiting the Dublin meeting. A CRUEL.FALSEHOOD EXPOSED. Baron Von der Tann on the Burning of Bazellle?. The Allgemeine Zeitung o? July 12 publishes the following report by Baron Von der Tann, commander-in-chief ot the Bavarian army, in explanation ot the notorious and lament? able occurrence which was alleged lo have taken place at Baaeilles, which he disposes of as decisively and satisfactorily as Col? onel Podbleski did the monstrous statement concerning the burning alive of a captain of the Francs-tireurs in the neighborhood of Dijon: Reproaches have been made against the troops of the First Bavarian Army Corps and Eighth Pruslau Infantry Division in several newspapers, more espeoially in the Times of September 15, 1870. in a letter signed "The Duke of Fllz-James," and dated "Paris, Sep? tember 12," to the effect that they acted with unjustifiable cruelty during the combat of the 1st of September, 1870, towards the inhabi? tants of Bazeilles. Bavarian and Prussian sol? diers were said to have set fire to the village in order to punish the inhabitants for taking part in its defence. The National Guard, it was said, had nearly all perished; the inhabitants having taken refuge in cellars, women and chil? dren had all been burned. Out of two thou? sand inhabitants only three hundred had sur? vived, and lt was related that the Bavarians had driven whole families back into the flames and shot women trying to escape. In order not to oppose a simple denial to such accusations and to be able to prove their un? truth by documents, I have refrained from replying during the war ; but, after the con? clusion of peace, I made an exact and com? plete investigation Into the matter concerning the inhabitants who fell victims during the fight of August 31 and September 1, and ob? tained the following Information from the French authorities, particularly M. Bellemet, maire of Bazeilles, through the obliging medi? ation of the German Civil Commissary. Ac? cording to their official reports thirty-nine is the total number of killed, wounded and miss? ing inhabitants of Bazeilles, among whom are counted two bed-ridden women, three men and three children, who were burned and suffocated besides one woman and thirty men killed, miss? ing and wounded during the two days' fight; total, I repeat, 39 persons. The greater part of the village became a prey to the flames owln? to the two days' mutual cannonade and murderous street and house fighting of six hours against the Twelfth French Army Corps, especially against the division of. Marine Infantry, in which my corps had 2000 men killed and wounded. If figures sneak for themselves, I can spare any further words in justification, and conclude with the wish that all those who have allowed themselves to be Induced to make unjust accusations, owing to exaggerations easy to explain in the first mo? ment of terror,- will henceforth continue to show sympathy to the unfortunate inhabi? tants by abundant help. The maire, M. Bei? leget, adds'to his report that since the battle HO to 150 out of 2048 inhabitants have expired from Illness consequent upon extreme want and misery. -Rev. William Morley Punshon publishes a letter to the effect that be married his deceased wife's sister, not because he liked her, but "from a prayerful conviction ol duty." Which makes lt pleasant for the present Mrs. Pun? shon. THE SCOTT CENTENARY LN NEW TOBE.-The New York papera etate that til'*3 arrangements for the.celebration of the Scott centenary have been perfected. The laying of th ? foundation stone of the monument of Slr Waiu?r Scott, in j Central Park, win take place with appropriate ceremonies, and there will be a procession of Scotch societies on Broadway, and a banquet at Delmonlco's on the evening of the 15th in? stant. The statue, which is in- process of erection in Edinburgh, by Mr. Steer, will be of bronze, ten feet high, and a duplicate of that ? handsome monument erected in Princess I street, Edinburgh. Slr Walter Scott ia im sit Ung position, and . at his feet his favorite dog. This statue wm be mounted on-a hand? some pedestal of Aberdeen granite, weighing over forty tons.' The commissioners of public I park?, have allotted a suitable sight for the monument. IRON-CLAD CHURCHES_At a tim? when so mach money is spending In building churches, a subject of deep Interest to all denominations ls the relative value of the various materials used for this purpose, and the advantages of the different Btylea.of architecture. In New York a warm controversy ls In progress, pri? vately, between certain old and new school architects on these matters. The '-Iron-clad" church built last year In Brooklyn for the Bev. T. DeWitt Talmage's congregation, and which, though seating 3200 people, cost only $35,000, ls attracting much attention, and is the chief cause of the controversy, since many congrega? tions not overflowing; wUh wealth but desirous of.baviog handsome churches, are discussing the propriety of following the example bf the 1 owners of this "Brooklyn Tabernacle." This tabernacle was erected in the following man? ner : A framework of timber was raised and Inlaid with brick. Boarding was then hailed on diagonally, outside and In, and fluted Iron was nailed over this. It ls claimed that the fluted Iron is a great aid 'to the preacher, as the.same voice will be much easier heard in such a building than in one of the same size and configuration that ls plastered. Conver? sations held with various leading architects develop the fact that the majority of them are greatly opposed to . this new and "flimsy" church architecture. ifliswllansous.
