Though many union loushoremen still hold out, tbe strike is practically over. The working poople are report? ed us suffering badly in Elizabotbport, New Jersey, from the cessation of work in various faotoriee, foundries, eto. Lizzie St. John Eckel, author of a book, has sued the Sun und Freeman's Journal for $25,000 damages each, for certain references to said book. The attorneys for Til ton, this morn ing,. served on the attorneys for Beech er, end filed in the offloe of the Clerk of tbe City Court of Brooklyn a notice of appeal to the general term of the City Court, from the order of Judge McOuu, requiring Tilton to furnish a bill of particulars. General Viele, a oivil engineer, who owns the tract of land in New York on the line traversed by the reoent shocks of earthquake, expresses the opinion that they were oaused by a magnetic shook running along a vein of iron ore. Tba Supreme Conrt of Maine has decided that womeu cannot hold the office of justice of the peace or any other offloe mentioned in the constitu? tion, but that tho Legislature may au? thorize women to hold any office created by that body. 300 gold and silver watohes, valued at 21,084 franas, were seized by Cus? tom House officials in New York, on Saturday. The bark Veteran Shields, for Pen sacola, has been wrecked on Pensaoola breakwator, at Frazersburg, and eleven of the crew drowned. Washington, December 13.?The King of tho Cannibal Islands has a sore throat, and is otherwise indis? posed. Secretary Fish paid him n card visit to-day, and informed his majesty, through one of his courtiers, that the President would have called npon him, but the President was indisposed. Tlie Secretary of State having called tho at? tention of tho House Committee ou Foreign Relations to the visit of the King of thn Sandwich Islands to the capital of the Uuited States, tho com? mittee have determined to recommend an appropiiatiun of $50,000 for the en? tertainment of the King and his suite during his stay in Washington. The President has already directed the Seoretary of the Navy to detail an of? ficer of the navy to take charge of the King while be is here. Washington, December 12?Attor? ney-General Williams has signally failed to report the latest Southern out? rage. The case is that of a distin? guished Alabama Radical of African descent, who has made a speech de? manding that the Uuited States Go? vernment ahull pay a reasonable com? pensation for an the slaves which were enfranchised, with just compensation tuorofor, one-half ol tho money to be paid to the master or owner, and one half to the negro. The idea is expected to take among the colored Republicans of tbe Sonth, aud the question arises, what will their Northern allies do about it? There are very decided indications, also, that tbe Republican Congressmen here are seriously alarmed at the pros? pect of a large Southern Democratic vote for Prcstdeut iu 1370, aud arc re? solved to take as many Southern States as possiblo by the throat, and so ru oonstruot and annnl their Stato go vernments as to fix their volu two yours henoo to an absolute certainty. Lou? isiana, Arkansas, Alabama and Missis? sippi are ull believed to bo in danger from these) desperate conspirators. Their object is to carry tbe Presiden? tial oleotioo, either by fair means or foul, and to this ood everything cIjo will bo subordinated. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, mads a very severe onslaught on tho Presi? dent's message to-day, wherein it was attempted to whitewash the late Board of Public Works. The President had attempted to convince Congress that Boss Shepherd and his associates had not incurred a debt exooeding 810, 000,000. Mr. Randall to-day took up tho figuros furnished by tho Board of Audit, which demonstrates that the District debt really exceeds $20,000, 000. Tho special champion of thu President, little Hale, of Maine, at? tempted to reply to Mr. Randall, but il was on utter failurr-, for Rundrd! us sorted that be bad official figures for' the ntatemeut mudo by him, anil ho defied anybody to demonstrate his in? accuracy. Mr. Hide, having charge of the resolution which affords the op? portunity for Mr. Randall's attack, called tbe previous question, aud then out off all furl her debate. Not being ablo to answer the faots as presented against tho President, therefore tho only way to stop unpleasant dis? closures was to choke Mr. Randall off. A?i was very pertinently remarked, tbe time is ooming wbeu tho truth can't, be suppressed. Sr. Louis, December 14.?An ex? plosion of n gas tiiok killed Thomas Pratt, chief engineer.

The 1 older boy was thrust from the boggy, and the younger one carried off. The burglary was attempted on the resi? dence of ex-Judge Rulett Van Bruut, ou Coney Island plank road, at Bay Bidge, Ling Island. The Judge saw them endeavoring to force an cutrance and fired two shots, both of whioh took effect?one killing Moshor almost instantly, aud the other so wounding Douglas that he died in an hour after? wards. Washington, December 14.?Pardeo has beeu appointed District Judge of Louisiana. Ho goes to the Senato to? day. It is safe to say there will be no ohango in tho Federal officers of Lou? isiana. New appointments for Texas are very shaky as to oonflmutiou by the Seuato. The new appointees fail to receive the support they expected? politicians whom they approach having private axes to grind. Judge Swayuo will not resign hia 6eat on the Su? preme Bench. The name of D. A. Purde has gone to the Senate as successor to Judge Darell. This action relieves Judge Dureli from all impeaohmeut proceed? ings?an adverse result upon whioh would have disqualified him from offices of profit and honor. In the Senate, to-day, a very largo number of bills were introduced. Morton presented a petition of the ooiored men of Indiana, protesting against the recent decisiou of the Su? preme Court of that State, claiming that by force of that decision, they are deprived of the rights of citizenship, and their children of the beueiits of an [education, aud askiug that the proper I luw officers of the Qovernment bo di I reeled to appeal tho case to the Su? preme Court of tho United States; re? ferred to the Judiciary Committee. Subsequently, Morton introduced a joint resolution directiug the Atturuoy Qenerul to take out a writ of error from the Supreme Court of Indiana to the Supreme Court of the United States? the Qovernment to bear the expense, as the petitioners were not able to bear it. Davis, of West Virgiuia, intro? duced a bill makiug appropriation for continuing tho improvement of the Great Kmuwhu River, in the State of j West Virgiuia; referred to the Com-! mitteu of Commerce. Pratt intro? duced a bill amendatory of au Act granting pensions, so as to removo the disability of those who, huviog partici? pated in tbo rebellion, have since on listed in I bo army of the Uuited States and become disabled, are entitled to pensions. Sherman called up the bill, which came over from the last session, to amend existing customs and internal reveuue laws, kuowu as the "Little Tar ill Hill," and, upon his motion, the new conference uskud for by tho House waa granted. Morton introduced a bill declaring the effect of permits to purchase products of the insurrection? ary States in certain cases granted by the President during the war of the re? bellion. The balauoe of the day wus devoted to tho reading at length of a hill to provide a new government for the District of Columbia. The Supreme Court has ordered that after July I. motion day shall be Mon? day instead of Friday. King KaUknna has been coufiuod to hia hotel to-day, but his health is im? proving, and he will probably be pre? sented to the President to-morrow.

New York, December 14.?Theodore j Du Boise, who was wounded while I commanding a Federal vebsel iu the attack on Mobile, is dead, j A correspondent of the 7/mes, from Vicksburg, s.iy>, touching the kill? ing of negroes on Monday lad: "I have madu tho most careful iuvo..iigi tion possible, und am of tbo opinion that tho wliite citizens of Vicksburg iwcro, under tho circumstances, justi J God in resisting with arms the attack which wajkmada opwa tb^.nitYtby tjb?. negroes} They' dmfe lnf-i^wf II le fjoM me robe red ^ to leiusihte ?hotitt' Crosby; after he had been forced to reaigo. Killing so many black men, however, was unnecessary, and cannot be justi? fied. Many of them were shot while thoy were retreating, but it is not trne that many wero killed while begging for meroy. On the contrary, all who did so were proteoted by white leud era." Another despatch to tho same paper, dated tho 13r' . says: Late this evening, a number ? ? gentlemen living on plantations in I e neighborhood, rode into Vioksburg and informed tho Mayor that tho uegroes iu tho country were under arms, aud iu squadB of twouty or thirty wore marching toward tho oily. Tho Mayor immediately called out two companies of speciul po? lice, and they are now assembled ul the Court Housu. Tho citizens are gene? rally alarmed, and Borne of thorn tsar that the towu will be attacked to-uight. A majority of tbe people, however, have no fear for the town, but it is ' probable thut the negroes may commit depredations on unprotected white families iu the country districts. Two companies of well armed white men have junt gono to the outskirts of the city. They will guard two of the principal approaches during thojnigbt. The Stadt Theatre (German) was closed last evening by tho polico, aud a large crowd went to another theatre, whose injunction on tbe police had uot run out. The Germania Theatre waB also closed. Taul Fulk'a Tivoli Theatre gave a sacred concert till T2 o'clock, lust night, when n theatrical performance began uud continued till near 2 o'clock, to a largo crowd.

Pane Robuery.?A bold robbery was committed at Corinth, Miss., at half-past 1 o'clock, on the 8th. Four well mounted men rode up to the Tishomingo Savings Bunk, two en? tered and lecked the door aud two re? mained outside. The two who were inside demanded the t afo keys, which President Taylor refused, whercupou they attacked him with knives and compelled him to submit. They took over $5,000 in currenoy, and as much more in watches and diamonds. Mr. Taylor was not budly hurt. A colored man was in the bank making a deposit at the time, aud was not permitted to ?leave until the robbers retired. They were in the bauk fifteen minutes. Those who observed the bauk sup? posed Mr. Taylor had gone to dinner. Tho bauk is iu au out-of-the-wny place, and not much noticed by the public. The robbers bad been lurk? ing about the town and Couuty for two weeks. They tired several shots as they departed, and made off at full speed in the directiou of the Tennessee River. The Sheriff, with a largo posse, has gouo iu pursuit. United States Circuit Court? Charleston, December 12 ?The Court was opened at 10 o'clock. Judge Bond presiding. In the case of Ohas. P.

Flanxjnu a Liquor Law ?Iu Waterloo, lovru, where the license has been raised '.; a prohibitory figure, the saloon has been crushed out, nod a spe? cimen of club-room has grown upon its remaitm. The ?x-pubiicnn sells slock in his club-room, having formed a cor? poration under the Stute law. and issues certificates of stock in the form of cards. When Ihn bibulous member of the club takes 11 glass of beer, 11 i ?> ticket is punched; wheu benzine is .called for, two Indes are made. The I price of liquor is, therefore, reduced, land drum-drinking made both fashion? able and ingenious, lioitee drnukeu ness is on the increase at Waterloo, and the liquor dealer thrives accord? ingly. Au ubnotmil mortality seems to have seized on the survivors of the war. From generals to privates tin? men who fought are dropping oil" \er> much faster than their contempo? raries 10 civil life. Old age scorns likely to be attained by but few com? paratively. Tho effects of wound* mid hard-hips endured in service are, no doubt, responsible for the harvest of oar common enemy. The seeds of malaria have ' s ,t?n implanted in their systomR. and rheumatism, fever, liver complaint and odd twitching^ about old scars are felt where men of the same age are iu tho prime of life. Tue fact is, the soldiers gave from fifteen to thirty years of their lives to tl ? r country. IAu accident occurred on the South Carolina Railroad Saturday morning, which resulted in the death of n eo 1 lured man, known us the Rev. io id ley, 11 resident ol Bluckville.

It has, moreover, been assigned the honor of being the high? est peak on the 'North Amerioah con tiucnt. The geographies will have to be revised. Jesse Pomeroy, the boy murderer, whoHo crimes, committed with no other motivo than that of mulignity, have shocked the public, has been found guilty ol murder in the first degree. The plea of insanity was rejected, but if there is euch a disease as moral in? sanity, there is no doubt that this youthful murderer must have bud it to a very unusual extent. Au old Kentncky hunter, named Myers, declares that it was (Jol. Jobn ?ou who killed Teoumeuk, and that the men connected with his regiment out nearly ull his hide oil and mude j razor strops of it. The uext informa? tion will be as to who struck Wm.| Patterson. Jules Courlay, a woll-kuown tavern keeper of New Orleane, who disap? peared from his home on the 24t.h of November, with $2,000 in his pocket, has not since been heard from, and it is supposed that he was murdered for bis money. Gone ?One Henry D. Thomas, big Indian of tbe Illinois Grangers, has absconded with 850,000, the property of the Patrous of Husbandry. This seems to bo a bad year for tbe Grangers, as well as other people. A half-breed scout reports that while in thu Black Hills country, reeently, be came upon a large party of whites prospecting. They wore well armed I aud bad a fortified and stockaded ! camp. Trouble is anticipated. The Chicago limes describes |an office-holder as "collector of the port of Ararat, whou Noah arrived there with bis ark, and has uninterruptedly held office there ever since." An Ohio sheriff felt a good deal of embarrassment on having to take to I the peniteutiary a man who had been I convicted of voMng for him three ? times.
