Ives, of Auburn, N. Y., and Rev. II. A. Cleveland, pastor of the church officiated in the after part of the day. Mr. James N. Calely, of this city, National Councillor of the Order of United American Mechanics, has issued a proclamation to the effect "that the 8th day of July next will be the twenty-fifth anniversary of the organiza tion of the order, and that the State Council of Pennsylvania, having recommended that the day should be appropriately observed, therefore it is recommended that a general celebration of the day be held by the various conncils in such manner as they may deem appropriate." On Saturday evening Special Officer Wood, with a bench warrant issued by one of the Quarter Sessions judges in his pocket, at tempted to arrest Frank Moran, who was on the point of leaving for Baltimore. The charge against Moran is that he kept a gam bling house. The latter left the depot in the custody of Wood, but when an opportunity presented itself, broke from the offioer's grasp and made off down Washington avenue. An inquest was hold yesterday by the Coroner upon the body of Mrs. Sarah Ritchie, aged 47 years, who was burned to death on Saturday night last, at her residence on Somerset, near C street. From the testi mony it appeared that she was seen on Frank ford road in the evening marketing. After wards, and about ten o'clock, Bernard Greeu and Lis son, while passing the deceased's house, discovered it to bo on fire. They broke in and extinguished the flames with a bucket of water, and then found the body of deceased burned to a crisp, with a broken lamp near it. The lamp is supposed to have exploded.

It began in the cellar, and burned through the parlor and rear portion of the second-story floors, and up the stairways and along the passage ways from the cellar to the garret. All the rooms in the house are more or less damaged by the flames and water. The furniture in the house, valued at $5000, is fully insured and not totally destroyed, though what re mains is badly damaged. Mr. Williams was in New York at the time. Mrs. Williams, her daughter, aged about seventeen years, and a son, aged about thirteen years, when awakened, found their exit bv the stairway cnt off by the fire, and escaped by means of sheets rolled into a rope from the window of the second-story back room they occupied, into a small back street. In making the descent, Mrs. Williams, who is in delicate health, fell and was severely injured. The other inmates of the house two servant girls and two male boarders escaped witnout in jury- Daineatto Affairs. Gold closed on Saturday at 11 5 J.

To tltt Editor of 77 Kvrnlng Tehrraph: In Fcbmnry, 18f3, Congress pased the "Lccral tendcr act" under a pressure of war necessities, but under very doubtful constitutional autho rity. The effect of this act. as considered until lately, was to destroy the obligation of con tracts, even contracts made anterior to the Eagnge or tne act, whereby the debtor was enefUed at the expense of the creditor, and whereby untold millions of obligations in the shape of mortgagee and contracts were forced to a settlement by debtors obliging creditors to re ceive payment In a depredated currency vary ing irom wt to 171) per cent, below the obi ga- tion originally agreed upon. Many luounanda oi widows and orphans left with limited means will testify to the misery which was entailed upon them bv the destruc tion of obligations, such as mortgages, railroad and canal bonds, which they had In good faith purchased with specie, presuming that the Gov ernment under which they lived would never impair the obligation of contracts. .Now. after eight vcars patient suffering on the part of the creditor class, and after years of glorious times for the debtor class, the Su preme Court of the United States has, with great justice and equity, given a doclslon that will Iierealter save tne dinerence between what they loaned previous to February, 18(13, and de preciated, irredeemable paper of 17 to &) per cent. This is a very fmall recompense for past losses when differences ran as high as 170 per cent. Repudiation has been frowned down. Con gress unanimously passes resolutions that the obligations of the nation (except greenbacks) shall be faithfully paid in coin; any one dissent ing from this view is considered disloyal a traitor to his country. Yet we see William B. liart, cierK to tne uommlssioncrs oi tne Sinning Fund of the great State of Pennsylvania, pub licly giving notice that it Is not advisable for the State Treasurer to pay its indebtedness in anything but legal (Irredeemable) tenders; thus not only advocating continued lepndiation. but setting at defiance the decision of the highest court in tne land. Again, we see that one Mr. Howard is deputed by railroad companies of Pennsylvania to pro ceed to Washington to persuade and to obtain by any and every means in his power a rever sion of the decision, on the plea no doubt that It is more convenient and profitable for the debtor to continue repudiation to the less and misery of the creditor. it is to be Hoped that congress will adhere to its resolutions of honesty, and that it will not interfere with a just decision of the Supreme Court which prohibits repudiation on the part of corporations or individuals. J. II. BEFORE THE WAR. Secret History of the John Brows Raid on Harper's Ferry. John Brown and five of his men arrived in Detroit with fourteen slaves from Missouri, in the summer of 1858. One of the slaves cave birth to a male child on the way. The boy was named J. Brown, and now lives in Windsor. By a strange coincidence, l'red. Douglass happened to be lecturing in this city the same evening that Brown arrived. After the lecture, the leaders of the insur rectionary movement got together in the house of Wm. Webb, on Congressstreet,near Antoine street, and arraigned the plan for the raid on the South, which broke out prematurely at Harper's Ferry. Mr. Webb was for years manager of the tobaooo factory on Jefferson avenue, and was a highly respected man. He is now dead. The leading colored people of Detroit and Chatham were also present at the meeting. .Douglass objected to .Urown s plan, which originally was to make raids on single plantations until he had collected a force of about 1000 slaves, and then swoop down on the large towns and cities, collecting force and material as he progressed. Brown grew wrathy, and asked Douglass if he Vas a coward, and referred to his success in Kansas as an augury of the v lrgima campaign. Mr. Douglass replied that he was not a coward, and would give material aid to the plan if he did not approve of it, or did not go himself. George de Baptiste also disapproved of the plan, but proposed a gunpowder plot, in which some fifteen of the largest churches in the South would be blown up on a fixed Sunday. Brown objected to the plan on the sooy-e of humanity, asserting by his plans not a hun dred lives would be lost, his intention being not to shed blood unless it became absolutely necessary. De Baptiste still urged radical measures, declaring that Brown s plan would fail, and perhaps cause the loss of a million of lives before the troubles liKely to ensue would be ended. He cited in support of his position the fact that the Nat Turner insur rection, m 1831, by which lifty-three white lives were lost, had had the effect of causing the next Virginia Legislature to consider a bill for the gradual emancipation of the slaves, which bill was lost by only two votes. Ussawatomies counsel finally prevailed, and the only favor, besides money and ad vice, that he asked of his Detroit friends, was to furnish him one man, which they did a Chathamitc. The news of the disturbance at Harper's Ferry, which took the nation with so much surprise, was perfectly well understood by the colored people of this city. They were anticipating tbe event, since one i-outer had divulged in Washington the plans of Brown, who, in consequence, was obliged either to abandon his enterprise or precipitate matters, even at feartul odds, lie chose the latter alternative. The sequel is sufficiently well known. These facts, however, have been kept with sworn secrecy, until lately, by the colored men of Detroit. The particulars have never been published. It may be only necessary to add that subsequent to the meeting at Webb's house, on Congress street, a meeting was held in Chatham, at which the "cap sheaf" was put in the plan. Now that the negroes are equal, politically, before the law, they have no fear in letting their connection with this anair be known, lney glory in it. -Detroit rost A Singular Occurrence. Something over a rear ago a man in New Orleans left his family quite suddenly, and was gone several months, wlien ne returned and resumed his family relations, and his wife, glad of his return, forebore any reproaches regarding his long and unaccountable absence. But a few weeks after his return another actor appeared upon the scene, this time a young and beautiful woman. She claimed to be the wanderer's wife. "But I'm married already! "You have married me!' "You are mistaken. I never saw you be foreknow nothing of you!" he said in reply, and maintained his declaration so earnestly that everybody believed him.. The lady was regarded as an impostor. She went away, but has come buck again, araed with a marriage certificate and proof of her husband's identity, Now for the explanation. The wanderer at last, by extraneous evidence, however, admits the soit impeachment. When he went away he was suffering from temporary insanity. While under this mental hallucination, he wooed and won his second wife. But when his reason returned, or rather when the clotvl was removed from his mind, be came back to his first love and lawful wife. This is the case in a nutshell. None of tbe circumstances are exaggerated, and the tale is told as it was related by one of the family. Singular as it may appear, both wives appear to be satisfied with the explanation, and all the parties are mailing arrangements to go to Utah. Slgnor O. Morosi has published at Turin and Florence a volume of studies on the "Dlalettl Grecl" of the territory of Otranto preceded by a collection of songs, legends, pro orbs and rid dles In tbe same dialects.
