Among the shipments to Europe by the Walthnra Watch Company was a lot of 200 stem-winding watches, by order of the British Government, for the use of conductors and engineers on the State railroad of India. This order was ob talned In direct competition with foreign' manufacture. Owing to the numerous applications for registered 4 per cent, bonds of smull denominations, the treasury department has been unable, with all the clerical force which could be employed thereon, to fill the orders ns rapidly as received. Purchasers of the bondB should under stand, however, that Interest will run from the date of payment for the bonds, and not from the date of their Issue, and that the little delay from time to time, on account of suddenly increased or ders, will result In no loss or Injury. ItrssiA has eighty millions of people and eleven thousand miles of railway, while the United States has forty-five millions of people and eighty-three thousand miles of railway. But not a single railway can be found in this re public like one In Russia, on which It is said a regular train is only run twice a week ! The difference Is In the spirit of the two nations. There Isn't a line of railway in Bussla that earns a profit, and most of them do not pay expenses. The case Is similar In British India. An awkward but somewhat amus ing case to everybody but the parties Immediately Interested is reported from Farmington, Fulton county, Illinois. There was an election for police magis trate there on the 15th instant. The eminent respectables took no interest in the same, so the bummers, for a joke, elected one Thompson Fountain, who is just out of jail. Now these influential citizens who did not vote, aBk the Gov ernor if he will withhold the commis sion of a bummer's choice if a majority of the citizens of the town will address him a remonstrance. The Governor does not see how he can interfere, and will probably intimate to the citizens of Farmington that they will have to put up with the jail bird magistrate. Mor algo to the poll and do your duty. TitK Potter Investigating committee is showing up a very disgraceful state of public morals in Louisana. Bo far they have only succeeded in showing that most of the witnesses called are persons of little character. A lot of chaps once before swore that certain things happened, while others swore they didn't. And now those who swore things didn't happen, swear they lied before, while the other chaps who swore they did happen, now swear just as positively that they didn't. How the public is to be benefited by stlring up so much moral filth we are unable to un derstand. It does prove that missionaries are more needed in Louisana than they ere in Central Africa, but the country is paying a high price for the Informa tion. An absurd story has been published throughout the country to the effect that the Grand Army of the Republic; was about to " re-enter politics," and had ar ranged " a slate to cover all the offices In New York State." The commltte which was supposed to have charge of the mat ter stopped In Philadelphia on their way to the encampment at Gettysburg to de ny the story, and to say that " the Grand Army of the Republic Is not in polit'cs, and does not propose to get In." That this is true, no one who has a su perclal knowledge of the membership of the order and of its work will seriously question. The members- represent all political parties, factions and cliques, and they find no difficulty In working harmoniously together, simply because there is no partisan politics la Grand Army work. The several Posts find enough to do in caring for the widows and orphans of their late comrades and for those who were disabled during the late war, without attempting in any way to control or influence partisan political appointments. , Trouble Prophesied. New YoitK, July 24. A Wllkesbarre letter in the Tribune gives the conversa tion of a gentleman engaged in manu facturing in one of the northern counties of Pennsylvania. He says the chances are we shall have much more serious trouble within the next two months than that which came upon us so unex pectedly Inst summer. Preparations are belug made fur ft simultaneous strlkeall over the country, on railroads, at mines, and In many of the largest manufactur ing establishments, and nothing but the utmost vigilance on the part of the State authorities and such preparations as will make It possible to crush out such a movement Instantly will prevent one of the worst calamities that has ever be fallen this country. The 15th of June had been actually fixed for the strike, and the outbreak would certainly have taken place then, or soon after, but for the preparations made to preserve the peace by Governor Hart run ft when he called out the militia and made arrange ments to obtain uniforms And equip ments for them at the Franklin arsenal. Those who were to have managed the strike called a commit tee meeting at Phil adelphia and voted to postpone the at tack until the 15th of August, when it was hoped the country might be taken by surprise. A Chicago representative of the strikers, on his way to New York, stopped over at Hornellsville and said to his friends : They ought to take the property of the rich, aud they ought especially break open the banks and take all the money and divide it." Tramps Seizing a Train. The large party from Northampton, Westfleld and other places along the line of the New Haven Northampton Ball road had an otherwise enjoyable ex cursion to the Sound Saturday spoiled on the return by outrages unparalleled in this section. When the train reached Cheshire, Conn., at night,lt was boarded by a gang of forty or more roughs, said to be from the Southlngton rolling mills, beside several tramps, who, by flourishing revolvers and other weapons, overawed both excursionists and train hands. They uncoupled the rear car, which was filled, and the train had to run back a mile for it. Afterward they stopped the train several times by pulling the bell cord,and divided themselves into four gangs, each of which took posses sion of a car and ruled with a high hand. Both men and women were struck by the roughs, clothes were snatched from the person aud kept, and the women were otherwise insulted, and many of them fainted from fright. Among the women they abused was the mother of Superintendent Yeamaus, and the men were powerless to avenge the affronts. In the front car, however, where there were less of the gang, a few men headed by Editor Converse of East hampton, pitched into the roughs and cowed them. Several of them who chanced to be separated from the rest of the crowd were caught and thrown from the train, and a few left at Southlngton, but most of them kept on as fur asPluln ville, where they got off. As it was. the train was four hours running to West fleld. It Is said that many of the roughs are known to the conductor, and the road probably take measures to arrest them. Certainly it is bound to do so. Sumner's regular train south two hours before was served in similar style, even, it is said, confining the conductor in the baggage car, while they ruled the train. A somewhat similar ,but less aggravated aflUlr occurred in the same vicinity on the last year's excursion. Springfield Republican. Shrewd Trick of English Thieves. A fashionable dressed man went into Hunt & Boskell's large jewelry store in Bond street, London, selected articles worth $4,000 and tendered a thousand pound note In payment. Mr. Boskell ascertained that the note was a forgery. As he was about to Bummon assistance, a cab was drawn rapidly up and two men in police uniform hurriedly enter ed, saying that the man was an old offender of whom they were in search. Directing a porter to place the jewelry in the cab and to come along with them as a witness, the men in uniform said that they would inform the firm when their attendance would be required to press the charge. Then they drove off with their prisoner, leaving the jewelers loud in their praises of the proficiency of the polloe. Next day, however, their porter, brutally beaten, returned with the infor matiou that the two supposed police of ficers were thieves in disguise. A Singular Tiansactlon. One of our vigilant contemporaries mentions a suggestive fact and its ex planation lu the following terms : " A London journal very naturally thinks it a singular coincidence that on the same day, the 10th instant, $500,000 of sliver should be. shipped from Liver pool to New York and $250,000 from New York to Liverpool. The larger amount Is understood to have been destined for the United States Government, while the lesser was leaving the market in which the Government might naturally be expected to buy. The explanation appears to be that the bullion dealers on this side, finding the Government had to buy, put up silver to an abnormally high price ; when the Secretary of the Treasury applied to the Rothchllds for a price, and, on receiving an offer below the terms of the home dealers, purchased $2,000,000 from the London bankers. The Secretory deserves credit for having opened his transactions in silver with this plain intimation to silver dealers that they cannot compel the Govern ment to pay an artificial price for sil ver." A Horrible Marine Mystery.' , San Francisco, July 23. The schooner Parallel reports that on the 7th Inst., oft the coast about ten miles north of this port, she fell in with a Japanese junk. There was not a living person aboard, but a number of corpses were found, some shackled together. They must have been dead a month at least. Some of the bodies were dressed in costly material. There was no food on the vessel. A Bill to Punish Vagabonds. Concord, N. H., July 24. A bill for the punishment of tramps passed the House to-day. It provides for punish ment by imprisonment of from fifteen months up to five 'years, the former penalty being provided for any person proved a tramp. A Very Strange Suiolde. A speclul dispatch to the Times from Capron, 111., says: "A dramatic suicide oceurred there on Tuesday night. Geo. W. Burleigh, a barber, published a card last Sunday Informing the citizens that he would on the evening of the 23rd inst. deliver a lecture in Thornton hall and at its conclusion shoot himself through the forehead. The price of ad mission would be one dollar and the amount realized to be invested in the works of Huxley, Tyndall and Darwin for the town library. At the appointed time the hall was crowded and after de livering an infidel lecture of wonderful power he suddenly drew a derringer, placed it to his forehead, fired and fell lifeless Into the arms of two friends." OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, July 25, 1878. Goneral and Mrs. Fremont, who have been here for some months, have gone to their new home in tbe West with cheerful happy hearts. The General could not have chosen a more agreeable oflioe for himself than that of Arizona's Governor. As for " Jessie." she was born to be a belle, though a most unpretentious oue. She is a favorite wherever she goes, with youcg and old alike. Her hair is now snow-white and she rolls it back a la Martha Washiugton. Her expression is tbe same sweet one that wou her so many friends years ago, aud her hands are still as dainty and wonderful as when Vinuie Beam modeled them in marble in her youth. That General Fremont's circumstances have been much reduced is true, but that he has been living in absolute penury and has been obliged to sell bis furniture, pic tures, &o., is iucorrect. His present salary is $3,600. Tbe Fremont family is a very genial, happy one. Tbe little escapade of the oldest son recently, when be anticipated his weddiog day by six months and married his lady-love on the sly, was but a repeti tion of his father's little game, and modifi ed at that. The General took bis Jessie fioni her oh amber window and effected a first class elopement. Tbe older parties appreciated tbe younger ones Impatience and love of independent action, and ac cepted tbe situation with veal cordiality.; Tbe changes in the New York Custom House form tbe only bit for political dis cussion of late. Republicans are depressed by it and tbe Senate members feel particu larly put upon, aud are reported as medita ting retaliation upon the administration next winter. , Congressman Levi Warner, of Connect icut's 4th Distriot, has lately published a letter declining re-nomination, which has called forth numerous comments concern ing the honorably gentleman, some of which are as amusing as tbey are charac terietio. Warner is represented as the personification of country innocence, utter ly devoid of worldly wisdom. Of course the storieB of his doings are distorted and exaggerated. It seems that directly npon his first arrival here bo full into the hands of lobby lets and sold his influence in two days' time for $2,500. By voting for the payment of the Southern claims, and against tut) Bun hard resolution he made not a few enemies, and those are they who cieci&t-s that Levi voted both ways on the Bland Silver Bill J that his neighbors had to tell him when it was time for him to leave home for Washington ; that be boarded the wrong train at the start ; and that arriving here at the Bigg's House, be shook hands with the head-waiter, saying, "How do you do Mr. Biggs?" Nothing is so delightful to the world in general as personal gossip concerning pub lio people, and especially conoerniiig politi cians. Rumor is still busy with Senator Conkling and his prospects. It is said that the Administration is determined to undermine him and oust him from the po litical world, and that the recent changes in the New York Custom House was a move for that effect. Tbe best , hope , of Conkling is the fact that New York appre ciates bis statesmanship and prefers to bold J one who she knows to be a strong man in position, rather than run a risk of being represented by a weaker one. , , Congressman Smalls, of Beaufort, S. C, was met with a Doe ovation from the peo plo of his District upon bis return borne a few weeks since. Commenting upon it tbe Cbnrlestowu "Courier" says : " It Is per fectly astonishing to witness the Increasing Influence of this negro. He Seems to pos ses the confidence of his race to a degree that no other block man may hope to at tain. Tbe men, women and children seem to regard him with a feoling of worship." Olive. Miscellaneous News Item. BAiriMOiiF,, July 23. Mrs. Annie E. Perkins, of Templevllle, Md., was Instant ly killed by lightning yesterday afternoon at Spaniard's Nook, Queen Anne's oottnty, Maryland. ' tW Wednesday morning a farmer nam ed George Smith, living near Rockland, Norfolk oounty, was murdered by his son, who also beat his sister, it is supposed fatally, and then hung himself. H3T Minnie Warren, the youngest, brightest and prettiest of Mr. Barnum's dwarfs, died in Middleboro, Mass., on Tuesday evening, in childbed. The child, which weighed seven pounds, also died. Richmond, Va., July 23. A special says that Wilson Ilowchlns, residing near Flue vanna Court House, in this State, yester day murdered his wife, mother-in-law and one child, and then killod himself. A son, seven years old, who saw bis father attack his mother, took the baby out of its cradle, and fled to a place of safety. St. Paul, Minn., July 24. A report was received here last ntgbt that a farmer near Faribault shot and instantly killed two tramps, whom he caught in the act of setting fire to the harvesting machine in bis wheat Mold. lie gave himself up, but was Instantly released. Z3J A remarkable case is reported from Greene county. Ou tbe 28th of June Mrs. G. W. Lantz, residing near Greensboro, gave birth to a fine, healthy boy, and in a few days the mother was up and attending to her household duties. On the 14th inst., sixteen days after the boy was born, Mrs. Lantz became the mother of a girl. Great Harrington, Mass., July 22. A boy named Green, driving a team this morning from Sheffield to Canaan, was met by two tramps, who demanded the team. lie whipped the horses and managed to es cape. One of the tramps, however, fired at blm, tbe ball entering his breast. A crowd pursued the tramps and captured them and brought them to Canaan. Green's condition Is critical. tW Mr. Perkins was a Boston widower, having lost two wives. Miss Carlton was a spiritualistic medium. She went into a trance, and the spirits of the two doad wives, speaking through her, said that she and Mr. Perkins ought to marry. Of course Miss Carlton was astounded, after coming to herself, on being told of the communication she bad delivered, but she was willing to obey. The ceremony was performed the next day. tSTTbe curate of Siapiccia, Sardinia, was not at breakfast on a recent morning. Tho door of his room was forced open by the police. Tbe bodies of tbe clergyman and a servant were found of tbe floor. Her skull bad been fractured with tbe butt end of a pistol, which lay by tbe side of her antagonist, whose left hand was still dutch ing her hair. In her head was a knife, with which she had stabbed him five times. New York, July 23. Harris Lo wen burg, an old man, was arraigned to-day in court charged with being ' the receiver of about $20,000 worth of jewelry stolen from the store of Simon J. Badberg, of Balti more. Tho thieves who stole tbe property aro now serving terms in tbe Auburn State Prison for petty larceny. Tbe hiding-place of the goods was discovered through a quairel Lowenburg had with bis daughter, who was a pal of ono of tbe thieves. t2T The two young men of Valatie, in York state, who quarreled about a young lady, and determined to settle their rivalry with pistols, but after reaching the Meld threw away their pistols and fought with their fists until one cried enough, may have made fools of themselves, but tbey showed more sense than if they bad shot at each other, and perhaps finished their quarrel as a tragedy instead of a farce.
