BAIRD.
New Orleaks, August 3 The Grand Jury, com
posed ot pickod Rebel-, have indicted the members
ot the Convention, and those of them who were able
to b diagved out were rearrested yesterday. Gene
ral liaird ordered a stay of proceedings, but the Pre
sident telerraphed him empbatloa.ly not to interfere.
The New Orlcau 'Jrilune says:
"W H.C King, alias William Bnxhouse, a rone
gade from Fittsbur fa., editor of tbe Mew Orleans
Timet, a notoriously Kebei sheet, murderer ot
Arthur McGill, aud captain of the Glenn Guards,
under the Kobel General Lovell, is m Washington,
and. pretending to belli the confidence of the. Frcsi
dent, is sending tne most incendiary despatches to
bis paper, showing tbe President to be In sympathy
with the Kobe I police and murdoremof Union men."
There is sworn testimony that alter lir. Dome
was supposed to have been shot and stabbed to
death, the mob gave three oheers tor President
Johnson and JefTeison Davis. Such exolainaiions
as. "Damn yon, we have iought you tor lour years,
and will fight you avaiu !" were of frequont occur
rence ourinr the massacre, and will be testified to
before the Commission Lieutenant-Governor Vor
heen called on General Baird early on Mondav morn
ing, and told him the Convention was not to meet
until 6 o'clock, when be web knew it would meet
at 12 noon. As there were no troops on tberround
at the time ot tbe massacre, this explanation is due
to General Baird.

Canadian Parliament.
Ottawa, August 3. The discussion of the
total number ot constituents of tne Canadian
Provinces under confederation has progressed
considerably. The liberal party ottered several
amendments, one of which was that the upper
house ot Lower Canada should be an elective
body, instead o being appointed; but they were
all de eated bv lari?e majorities.
The School bill is now under discussion, and
i rapidly taking a reheioua tendency. The dis
cuspIodb upon it are animated and bitter.
MATTERS OVER THE EIVER.
The Cholkra in Camden The Panic
Ovbb.. During a weac past, Camden has enjoyed
quite a cholera panic bat we are happv to record
the tact that it is about over at last. At tbe loot of
Miekle street, in the cential part of the city, there is
a locality termed Weatuorbv's oourt, whiuh has tor
a long time been the filthiest spot in the city. By
reason oi InsutUctent drainage, the water and refuse
collecting in Miokle and the adjacent streets have had
no outlet, and have consenueutly collected in staz
nan pools along tue river hank. This will seon be
remedied by the oonstructioo of the culverts now in
f rogreax. but it has long been a staud.ng discraoeto
be authorities, whose dilatory action is to blame
lor all the oomequeuces.
This weatnerby'a court is a wretched allev, on
which and the adjacent streets there aro about
twoiitv mmilies living in muter able low frame tene
ments, more fitted for the abode of swine than or
human beings. Some time since a aoap-boiung
Institution was established ntrht in the centre of
them, to add its reeking mmes ana ioui sine in to
tbe seneial mass of tlUb. Toe authorities ordered
the establishment to be closed, but it Is said that it was
nrt uatiii run at niirht.the proprietor ooenlv defvina
evervbouy to stop bis buiinons. The intelligent
fibysioians of the city long since prophosied that
t Csmden waa ever visited by the cholera, this
wnulit ha tha locality In which it would first aDoear.
On Wednesday ot last week, accordingly, a man
bytbeuanie of Met'aun, living in the court, died
suddenly. His bodv remained nnburled until tbe
nilarin HniulH. thn nnifrhbors. tu chs meautinie.
miiDinu in and out of the ho Bite. A few days after
lint .ana's dnaLh. a ohUU ot bis followed biui : and on
Tuesday t tula week to boys by the uwoa f
Traoy, who bad boon in MoCann's bonne a great
deal, likewise died, ibe d mesne which carried oil
the two last waa pronoanced otiolera by the physi
cian in attendance It was not until then that tney
were satisfiod that the deaths in tbe family ot
McCann were the results of the same latal scourge,
nine persons altogether were subject to choleraic
attacks, bn' these tonr were the only once who died
from the effects On Wednesday iheie were but two
treeh cases, and sinoe then there have been no more
o ported.
Tins is owing to the energo'ie elTorts of the Sani
tary Committee, who have caused tho court and its
snrrnnndings to be thoroughly cleansed and fumi
gated. If another ease breaks out. it is their Inten
tion to temove every family to souio olher locality ;
and if doemed nooesaaiy, to cause the buildings to
be rntirely demolished. For several davs past tho
auihorities have been ensagod in si.nnk.ing chlo
ride of lime In the gutters throughout the whole
city and around tbe niarkef-hou-es. The etty is at
last in a tolerable sani'ary condition, and it is
thought that the dreaded scourge will spread no
further at present.
Houses ani Cahkiaoe Stolen. A day
or two since a young man of prepo-sessin anwar
ance went to the livery Btab'n ol Mamuol McClain,
whore he hired a pa'r of horses and a carriage to
take a ndo into the country, promising to roturn
the same afternoon. .Since that time, ho a ever,
nothing has been seen or beard ot eltuor bim or tbe
property.
Fikst Presbyterian Church. Tho
congregation worshipping in the First Iresbyterian
Church in Camden, finding their church too small,
have finally deoid' d to erect a new one. The mate
rials will all be prepared thi- fall and winter, and
early in tho spring work on the proponed new edi
fice will be commenced.
CITT INTELLIGENCE.
For Additional City Intelligence see Ihird Fage.
Cheat Act of Incendiarism Old
MoYAi.F.fiNO Hall Burned. This morning
about 3 o'clock tho buildings in tbe rear of the old
MovameniiiDg Hall were ofacoverod to be in a blaze,
and an alarm was Instantly struck. The fire com
menced in the kitchen on the first floor of what is
know as the old culinary department of the Untied
States Hospital builoings, which occupied the piaoe
dunnr the war.
This building extends from the main hall to the
rear on Manilla street. Tue flames spread with great
rapidity through the long ouo story building, and
cau?ht on to tbe wooden oornlco ot tbe main
building,
Beiore the fire companies oould check it, the fire
found its way into the loft over the second story,
wheie a quantity ot straw and loose, rubbish bad
been ttored. Sweeping through tho loft, it oropt to
the cupola, and then bad a powerful draft that made
tbe flames rage with a resistless iurv that nothing
could stop, until the roof and the cupo.a were entirely
destroyed.
While this wasjgoing on the bell banging in the
cupola tell with a loud crash, sending high showeis
ot sparks around. It was with very sad teeliugd we
vt itnes-ed the destruction ot the old clock tbat bad
stood for so many years, doing its work of use
fulness. Tbe entire building was gutted by tho fire, and
the handsome frcestouo front is utterly ruined.
What the lire leit tho water bas wrecked. Bart of
ti e old United States ho-pnai ward in the eastern
and western enus of the euclo-ure are comparative.?
uninjured.
Hie destruction of the bul.ding was so evidently
the work oi design, that nut the least doubt remains
that it w as the oeii berate act ot an incendiary. Some
time aro the Board of iloalth resolved to make it a
Cholera Hospita., and had aomally made prelimi
nary efforts to so convert it, in spite of tho c amorous
and inaignant appeals from the neighbors against it.
When the people in tbe neighborhood saw that
the beds and other fixtures were beina removed into
tbe building, muttered threats were heard on every
side. Insteaa of putting on a strong force of watcn
men, there were only two on iast meht, . One of
these was a rowdy of bad character. When
tbe alarm of fire was given they were
both standins in trout ol the building
in the moi-t indifferent mannor, and the circum
stances developed at the examination of Fire Mar
BhaflUackburn showed evidently tnat then had
been at the very least a collusion between them and
toe inocndianes, it they had not actually set tire to
it themselves.
Moyamensing Hall was built in 1825. by the Com
missioners ot Moyatnonsing, as a hall ot assembly.
It was continued in use tor tbat purpose until the
act of Consolidation was passed in 1861.
For about a jear alter that it was unocoupled, and
was then taken as a police station house, and waa
used aa such until 1869, when it was again vacatod,
ana was idle until 1862, in the early part ot which
ear it was taken by tho United btates as a hospital
for siok and wounded soldiers.
The series ot wards were teen bnilt in the enclo
sure in the rear It oontinued in tt.is service until
the latter end of 18C5, wnen it was again vacatod.
Recently it was turned over by the Government to
the Board ot Health office. Ibe result of their
action we see beiore us.
Iho bu lining was valued at about 835,000. As far
as oould bo ascertained, there was auhu-uranoe on it
ot $10,000 in the Franklin Insurance Office
Tbe boll was broken to pieces ana oarried away by
tbe exoited crowd, in tbe form of relics of the old
building.
The Wbisky Frauds. The newspapers
of the city bave been led into an error with regard
to tbe manner m whioh tbe fraudulent distillers
of wbisky bave been detected iu thoir trioks.
There bag not been, as reported, a Commission
appointed Irom Washington to investigate and pro
secute these f rauds, all the proceedings having been
under tne immediate personal supervision aud
direction of Mr. John H. Diehl, Collector of tbe
Second Revenue District, with whom Mr. Charles
T. Bonsall and others have been associated. .
Tbe subloct baa received careiul attention from
Mr Dlcbl lor a month or more. His investigations
bavo resulted in ibe seizure ot forty or fil'y different
establishments which were engaeed in distilling with
out any license whatever, and in tbe institution of
some hundred and thirty suite against as many dif
ferent parties, for making a fraudulent return of the
capacity ot thoir etuis, these last violators oi tne
law were easily detected. A sworn officer of tne
Government was sent to eaoh licensed still to regage
its capacity, and in eaoh ot tbe hundred and thirty
cases mentioned above, the return was found to be
far short ot tbe actual distilling oapaoity.
In all these cases, therefore, the government will
bave no difficulty whatever in proving their in
iringementa upon the law. and iu recovering tne
speoial penalty of 15300. The revenue officers are
also in possession or sucu lacts as ieaa mem 10
believe that tbey can establish a e ear case against
the parties involved in each one oi the seizures thus
tar made.
Last vear there were not over five licensed distil
lers in the Second Dittriot, while mis year one hund
red and seventy-six licenses have been ta-en out
thus far; and in addition to these there are still a
multitude engaged in the business without any
license whatever, these new establishments were
all started with a view of defrauding the Govern
ment by a misrepresentation of the capacity of their
stills, whtcb, as is well kuown, fixes the amount of
tbe tonds tbey are required to give.
Mr. uiotii is oue ot tne oiaost and most energeuo
revenue officers in tbe oi'v. having received bis com-
mli-siou trom Air. Lincoln, tie is uetermined to
break up tbe business oi these irreuular dislil'ors, or
to compel them to submit to all the requirements of
the law. In ibiseBort be has the hearty co-operation
ot tbe Commissioner at Washington. But it is
quite likely that many of the defeated parties will
appeal to the Commissioner in person, and attempt
to compromise the matter by paiinont ot all the
back dues to tne uovernmem. it is to uonopeo mat
no propo-rtlon ot tbe kind will be listened to by the
Government. So many compromises of this cha
racter bave been nude already that to continue them
will be nothing but tbe offering of a premium lor a
reckless violation ot tue law.
The Stolen Pigs. Alexander Gardner,
ao American citizen of African descent, was walk
ing along Maikot street yesteidav alternoon about
4 o'clock, carrying a basket loaded down with
(judging from Itu good-humored phzi something
good. At Fortieth and Market streets a Dolloe
officer asked bim what be bad got in bis basket, it
being so neatly covered over with a cloth. A look
averred that he bad got some "ob du nicest tatars,"
and furthermore that "taters war good when dey
war biled wid de skins on, yah t yah I" The olflosr,
with a feeling ot natural curiosity, raised tins
oloth to ee the potatoes, and lol there were none,
lint in till lr place waa a fina vounir norknr weighing
about forty pounds, that bad just been killed, and
bad the hair, dirt, aud everything else on. Wuen
tal en to the Station House Aleck confessed the theft,
and said be stole it from another colored man
named L. Allen, living on Belmont street, above
Lancaster pike. . He was committed by Alderman
Alien to answer.
Settled at Last. The grievous trouble
which has existed in affairs eeunected with the
office of the Collector for the First Interna! Revenue
District came to a finally this morning. At about 8
o'oloek, Mr. Albert Barnes ttloanaker stepped into
the off.oe, and in tbe name of the United tit a tee
Government took possession by authority of a com
mission recently issued to bim. Colsnel John H.
Taggart r tired aa gracefully si ths circumstances

against the District Attorney.
A numl-er of witnesses were examined, among
the test Mr Boot, the I'aving Teller of tho tursi
National Bank. He testified that he took the cheek,
supposing it to be genuine. It did not bear any
marks ol being a forgory, either in tbe taoe or in tho
endorsement.
U. If. Allen was sworn, and said that he had
not ecn the check until this morning. He then
examined it, and said at onoe that the endorse
ment said to be his was a forgery. He said tha.
he had previously seen the forged requisliiou
for $50,000.
Tbe case is still going on.
Appropriating a Wallet. Mary Davis,
a lady ot color, has come to gnf. It all rosiilto l in
her desire to possess a wallet which 'he law regarded
as bolonging to another person Walking into the
bouse No. 1812 Master street yesterday, Mary espied

Tbe calling is considered a resoeotable one. but Wil

beroe the general respectability of his fellow Jehus
does not avail him in his present difficulties. Yes
terday, at the corner ol Broad and Coatos stroets, bo
drove into another vehicle, carrying away the
wheel and axle-tree in hand'omo stile. He was
subsequently taken before Alderman Murray, and
agreed to pay the expenses of new outfit in place
