TITE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPII rillLADELPHlA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1870. 5 IX n ong X 8 XVI 8. IY? Our Own OorresponaenK Nbw Tors, Auk. 1, 1870. The OTnrder sf Mr. Nathaa. ft seems as though, In the endeavor to clear awar the mystery surrounding Mr. Nathan's murderer, the reporters of New York had been given permission to soar to the loftiest height 4ind to the lowest depth to which fancy's wing could waft them. I can imagine the Smiths, .Browns, and Joneses of the various newspapers, iarsting, in a sweat of intelligence, into edi torial rooms, laying in triumph the huddled ieaps of facts before managing editors, and being instantly directed to "writes up" .their accounts, and append to each a "theory." . lleportorlal invention was certainly never put to a severer test. Nearly every one of tho Sun day and the dally papers has had a 'theory" of. its own. From a consideration of the various . bypotheres, it might be imagined that the brood of reporters had been brought up In the shadow . of the detective wing, and that the shell through wuich they picked their way into newspaper existence was circumstantial evidence. U is not . cften that full swing is given to tho New York porter. 80 much that comes to his mill turns rut not to bo grist, that when corn of a Bufll ciectly criminal character docs fall in his way, he must be excused for grinding it very small indeed. The murder of Mr. Benjamin Nathan, Jast Friday morning, was of this character, and tLe reporters fed upon it like oxalic acid on an Ink spot. Let us try to appreciate, while we compassionate their efforts, admitting, at the same tine, that it is a pity that they are not forbidden to weaken, wllh ill-considered theories of their own, the effect of the facts which they to industriously collect. There are some readers who like to think a little for themselves, and wLo, without overweening discomfort, could dispense with the suppositions which those gen tlemen bountifully rain upon them. Knowing that I can detail here no item of news of which the telegraph will not have in formed you before this letter is printed, I shall Attempt nothing more ambitious than a collec tion of such odds and ends as occur to me of gosfcip and reflection. Since the hour when the murder became known, the north side of Twenty-third street directly opposite the resi dence of the Nathan family has been occupied by curious gazers whose number sometimes swelled into a crowd, sometimes dwindled to a group. I believe that since the moment when tlie news of the crime became public scarcely an hoar has passed without finding a bevy of in quisitive watchers, besides the police, stationed nj'OB that opposite pavement. It is no . fignre of speech to say that tho stages which go near that point slackened their speed In order to allow passengers to eatisfy the hunger of their eyes. The same thing may be said of the cars. "Whenever one of them 'came near the intersection of Twenty-third street and Broadway the passengers, with few exceptions, jumped up, and, as if actuated by one will, stuck their heads out of the windows, and riveted their eyes upon the spot that mur der had put beyond the reach of tho common place. The hour was one of joy and triumph to the policemen. It gave them a coveted pretext for using their "locusts," and for practising that sort of blackguardism which the protection of the blue coat and brass buttons renders safe. . Strange as It may seem, respectable men were heard to abet the detestable conduct of the New . York Sunday Mercury in casting suspicion upon Washiryton, Mr. Nathan's youngest son. The reasou tu.it the Mercury took the course which it did it dimply that its reporter, in endeavoring to gather news at a rather late hour, was re pulsed by Washington. The reporters of the Mercury are not pre-eminently distinguished for refined feelings, gentlemanly manners, or reli gious principle. The instructions which they receive from Mr. Whitney are not precisely such as would tend to fit them for the kingdom of Leaven. But when they "go" for a piece of ' news their tenacity of purpose Is wonderful, and the piece of news usually has to succumb. The Mercury reporter, however, called on Saturday ' at an hour when such Intrusion was particularly repugnant to the family. During every one of the twenty-four preceding hours the house had fccn visited hy a stream of "interviewers," and it would have been strange indeed if the crushed spirits of the mourners had not asked for a little rest. It was Mr. Washington Nathan through whom this request found expression, and whom, there fore, the Mercury selected as the victim of ils spite. This accounts for the two columns of malicious perversion that on Sunday morning Appeared upon the first page of the Mercury, and UaiaI tf flv ftiA rrlmn nn Wnaliinrrtnn- Thnt an unprincipled and filthy paper like the Me r tury should do so ought not, perhaps, to cause much surprise; but that any respectable man of eenee should take up such arguments as were used la the Mercury, and should endeavor to ple them consistency, is a fact at once aston ishing and painful. I have but little doubt that hundreds of people made up their minds yester day that Washington Nathan was the murderer of his father. When that cruel suspicion deep ened until it seemed to catch the blackness of fact, it was easy to imagine a series of causes equally consistent and just. I Lope that, without being accused of starting "theory," I may be permitted to make a re mark about the diamond studs which were stolen. It seems to be taken for granted that stolen diamonds can always be disposed of without difficulty or danger, provided their set ting be destroyed. It must be remembered, however, that jewellers have, with regard to diamonds, a memory quite as remarkable as de iectlves have with regard to faces. There are In this city jewellers who are so extremely ex pert in this particular that no diamond which b.as passed through their hands, no matter what change of tettlcg it may experience, can any more ef cape Identification, should it come to them again, than an escaped convict, sentenced ly Judge Powllng, can elude, in or out of dis guise, that magistrate's remarkable memory, The singular aptitude that many jewellers pos sess of recognizing, under any circumstances, diamonds which have once been in their pos session, was curiously illustrated, some years Ago, in the case of a diamond that was offered for sale to Ball, Black Co., by a stranger who called at their store. The gentleman who has special charge of the diamond department, and to whom the etone was submitted, instantly recognized it, although it setting had been changed, as one tint bad disappeared some months before. He therefore kept it in bis possession, not with ttandlnff bis belief in the integrity of the strau trer to ottered It for sale. Slowly the course of the diamond was traced back from band to hand, until a boy was reached who, at the time it disappeared, had been discharged under sus picion of Laving stolen it. Any contrast or comparison between the kktory of this diamond .... a. 1 M ad of the studs that were laten irom air, Nathan's shirt will probably, before this letter is mailed, be rendered pointless by the capture of the criminal. In case of that event's not taking place, however, as speedily as it is anticipated to occur, it will at least be interesting to reflect that the most valuable articles he stole cannot be disposed of quite so easily as most people imagine. Ali Bara. REPUBLICS FATORISG CUBA. A I.enane nf Honlh American Repnbllr. to Ftee the Hpnnlah Antilles. Frmn the Panama Mail, On the 17th June the House of Representa tives, now in session in the capital, passed a bill which, if approved by the Senate, as it almost certainly will be, will be equivalent to a declaration of war against Spain. The bill was introduced in the House on the 12th May, and was enthusiastically received. It proposes the formation of a solemn compact between all tho Spanish-American republics for the purpose of obtaining the independence of the Spanish An tilles from the domination of Spain and the cre ation of republics in those Islands. No doubt can exist, therefore, that the conversion of thl bill into law would be tantamount to declaring the republic at war with Spain, and as such it would be considered by that kingdom or republic. 1 ne committer ot tne nouse, wnicn reported favorably on the bill, arrived deliberately at tho following conclusions: 1. The cause for which Cuban patriots fiirht Is the same for which Colombia fought Incessantly irom jhiu 10 l.'. 2. The interests of self-preservation and our duty as a civilized and Christian nation justify in the most complete manner Colombian Inter vention. 3. The atrcresslons of monarchical Europe against the liberty and Independence of Ame rica always have had and always will have for a base Spanish dominion in Cuba. 4. Tho policy of the I'nlted States cannot serve as a guide to Colombia on this occasion. 5. J he resources that we may need for this war are not bevond our means. 6. The time has arrived that Colombia should assume in the politics of South America the position to which she Is called by her topo graphical situation, her historical traditions, her population, ana ner political conqueEts. Any one who knows the state of diplomatic relationship at present existing between Spain ond her former colonies, cannot but readily un derstand that this step which Colombia has taKen wui lead not only to the freedom ot the Antilles, but to the arrangement of such trea ties between the South American republics and Spain as will set at rest forever many long dis puted and much debated questions which nave remained pending since the independence was gained. Commerce and agriculture may suffer for a while; but we still see room to hope that this republic may benefit by the crisis through which it will have to pass; and we believe the war, if commenced, will terminate with slight loss of blood, though at a large sacrifice of money, and leave old party rancors forgotten, from Colombians having again become brothers irom having served on the same field and against the same common enemy. THE RAMIE TLANT. Process for Refining the Fibre. A great deal of interest is felt by our agricul tural and mercantile readers in the new textile plant known as ramie. A year or two ago single plants sold in this vicinity at the rate of ote dollar each, but they nave since been re garded by our planters rather as a curiosity than as an object of material interest, there being no economical agencies provided for preparing the staple for market. We have already stated that Mr. Emile Lcfranc, of this city, has recently patented a machine which has proved entirely successful in separating the fibre from the woody matter ana outer banc; and to snow tnat Ameri can iBgenuitv has been turned in the same direc tion in other quarters, we extract the following from a letter received by Mr. Lefranc from a gentleman residing in Brooklyn, N. Y.: "1 am clad to hear you have succeeded In frealnsr the fibre from the gum coloring matter. You speak or sending me a parcel of the fibre in a few days. Do not send more than one-half pound, and send It per mail, as it will reach me sooner auu cost less than by express. When the sample reaches me, I will prepare It by my process and return It to you. In regard to the cost of preparing the fibre in staple of suitable lengths for spinning upon cotton, tine wool, worsted, and flax machinery, I can safely say, as the result or my experience, that twenty-live cents per pound (and forty cents per pound, in cluding cost of raw material aud waste) would be very near tne cost certainly not more ana would sell when so prepared for $1 per pound, as fast as it could be produced : and when prepared for spinning and imitating silks, could be sold for three or four times tnat price, my process is Dotn mecnamcai aud chemical. "The amount of capital required to fit out the machinery, apparatus, and other expenses (aot in cluding premises and power1) to prepare 6000 pounds per week, wouw prooaDiy not exceea jiivuu. 'L. W. WRIGHT." Quite a number of persons In this vicinity are now preparing to go extensively into the culti vation of ramie. Our soil and climate are found to be exactly suited to its extensive and profit able production, and hitherto our people have been deterred from engaging in its culture only because of the want of machinery to prepare It for market. That want being now supplied, we may expect ramie to be forthwith added to our list of Southern staples, and, to some extent. take the place 01 cotton in the manutacture ot textile fabrics A. o.

In the death of this lady, whlchAook place suddenly, on the 20th day of Julya loss has been sustained by a large circle, who deeply mourn her departure. Many have shared her hospitality, and been cheered by her genial and generous kindness. It Is these who are conscious of the irreparable loss, and feel forsaken at her de parture. They have many kind recollections of her good deeds, her cheerful benevolence, and her con stant friendship. She possessed many good traits, noble characteristics, and shining virtues. She was for years a constant visitor at the prisons, and, with out hope or expectation of reward In this world, administered comfort and relief to the unfortunate. Her benevolent labors in this direction were inter rupted by the sad affliction of two of her children, who were prostrated by distressing sickness, requiring her constant attention. As her family cares and anxieties became more Imperative, she gradually withdrew from the more prominent duties of society, leaving to others who were less incumbered with the cares and anxieties of home a good example of benevo lence and self-sacrltice. She was a kind neighbor, always ready to assist in sickness with cheerful alacrity, and very often at the sacrifice of her own comfort, forgetting her own ease for the good of others. Her well-provided table was ready at all times to dispense refreshment to the welcome visitor, without stint or that arbi trary ceremony which so often mars hospitality. At her genial board preferences of rank were forgotten: the poor and the rich met together, and were made at ease by her cheerful and unosten tatious disposition, feeling that their welcome was sincere. While she was engagded in her family duties, without warning, the dread summons came. With calm and tranquil mind she summoned her family around her. With thoughts dwelling upon the mercy of her Maker, with firm belief in the merits of her Saviour, reclining in the arms of her affectionate husband, and surrounded by her sorrow ing family, her spirit passed quietly away.
