An Inteimjsting ScBiRBOFOfJBCiTr. Within
thirty minutes' ride of Broad and l'rl me streets
ono can reach the town of old Chester, on the
Baltimore Railroad, and about tbe same time
from Chesnut street wharf by steamboat on the
river Delaware. (Seventeen years ago (18-30) It
contained no more than 1W7 Inhabitants;
to-day It boasts of 12,000 to 1:1,000. It bas the
honor of being the oldest town in Pennsyl
vania. Two hundred and tw only-five years
ago the Indians prowled around Us Streets, or
the places now covered with streets, and the
great American eagle soared aud soared and
soared so high It makes one sore to think of It.
But lu IMS a Jun- full of Swedes arrived, put
their hooks in, and scrouged the lujuns out.
and they culled the place Upland. The only
JnJuDs ever Keen there since Hie those who
ooDie down on the yachts from the West Jersey
Ferry. Thirty-nine years afterwards Mr. Penn
arrived from England with a boat-load of flrst
clafcs Quakers, and, as he found there wasn't a
nrst-ciass hotel In Chester to put up at, he
passed on up tbe river and fouuded I'lillaciel-
fhla. While he was building the Quaker City
le established tbe capital of the I'roviuce at
Chester. It Is now 185 yean since William
Mr. Penn, we mean shook tbe dust of Chester
from his shoes, beuause there wasn't a decent
hotel in the place, and everybody else has been
doing tbe same thing for tbe past 186 years, liut
there Is a man In our town, as the old ballad
sayti, who thought It was about time this
thing stopped, aud he determined that Ches
ter should not be behind her sister towns
lu attracting visitors to her shores.
The tremendous outgrowth of I'htladelphia
.lias leached this suburb, and where orst
was naught but a solitary and deserted pier,
now resounds with the busy bum of Industry.
Wharves have been built, large foundries
erected, and shipyards sprung Into aotlve life.
A new bote), with all the modern conveniences,
became an absolute necessity; and to the
liberality end public spirit of Major lieale tho
citizens of Chester will owe tbe handsomest
improvement that the old town has seen in
224 yenis. A beautiful site has been selected
near the depot, easy 0 Recess from the river aud
the railroad to summer vlsltora, commanding a
fine view of the river aud the shipping, aud
tbe plans are now In the hands of sir. Crump,
tbe architect, which, when completed, will re
sult in the erection of a large, handsomebotel,
by t lie latter part of May next, at a oast of
about J.r0,(JUO.
This hotel, we understand, will be under the
maniigement of Mr. John C. Klsley, of the Con
tinental Hotel. The well-known energy, expe
rience, and ability or Mr. uisiey are at once a
gnai tilitee of success. Of one thing the patrons
of the new hotel may be assured, whatever will
tend to their comfort and amusement will
always be his aim; and to those in quest of real
enjo ment a ride or drive to Chester will better
repi-y them than by going hundreds of miles
away from homo, to become tbe prey of rapa
cious landlords at summer hotels.

rives its name. Is distinctively a Christian in

and culture on youth from all parts of our coun
try. Many of Its students, dnrlng the gjoomy
days of the late civil strife, responded to tbe
call of onr country, aud of the number that
went out, twenty-six sealed their devotion to
the great cause with their blood. The remain
ing students have made all preparations for
having a reunion on tbe 15th of June, 1868;
during which it is proposed to have an appro
priate memorial service to the memory of their

and assistant teachers in our public schools

be elidible as a teacher unless he or she shall
hold a certificate of qualification. A special

THE METEORS.
Another Postpouemeat "On Aocoant of
f Toldable Circumstances" The Dis
play to Come OflT Ta-Hlffbt-lemethlar
About Other Grand Showers.
The shooting of the stars was unavoidably
psstponed last night not In oonseqttenoe of
the weather, for a more auspicious state of the
atmosphere and heavens cuuld not have been
desired. What was tbe precise nature of the
circumstances which rendered a postponement
f the grand pyrotechnic display necessary has
not, as yet, been developed. There was, indeed,
a mlnlainre display, which atone tlmednrlng
the early morning gave slight indications of
culminating in an exhibition which would
have satisfied the expectations of thi most
anguine. Tho; display In this city commenced
about 11 o'clock last evening, from which time
until about 4 o'clock this morning, small
meteors were visible at Irregular Intervals.
About 4 o'clock the number was greatly in
cteased.and for a short time thny were to be
s en at almost every point of the heavens. But
there seemed to be nothing systematic about
their appearance or course through the heavens,
and neither In number nor grouping did they
approach the dimensions or character of a
regular sliownr, as was the case In some sec
tions of the country, in a spasmodic way they
darted lillber and thither, leaving but faint
traces of their pathway across the heaven, and
soon disappearing, together with their feeble
trains.
Extensive preparations had been made
In this and other cities to observe tne pneno
menon, and those who remained awake all
night were partially rewarded for their pains.
At Washington quite a number of the meteors
were observed, starting from the east, and
moving across (be r.enlth towards tbe west.
The astronomers and officers on duty at tbe
National Observatory, however, announce their
opinion that to-nignt we will be favored with
the grand display whioh was laid down on the
programme for last night. One more night of
anxious waiting and watohing will therefore
be, necessary, audit maybe that those whose
small stock of patience was not replaced last
night by a large stock of disgust will not be dis
appointed. The chances are certainly worth
another experiment.
Inasmuch as we are still subject to the hopeol
witnessing the heavens "ou fiery flames," it
will not be uninteresting to glance at the record
made by the meteors in the past. The ancient
cnronlclois were keen and Interested observers
ol all astronomical phenomena, but their Im
perfect knowledge of the laws which have
since been discovered, and their excessive
superstition, render tbe acaonnts of their ob
servations exceedingly unique and entertain
ing. From a curious old work, in two volumes
published in London, by T. Longman and A
Millar, in the ysar 1710, and having tar its title
"A tleneral Chronological History of tbe Air

srBCJAL DESPATCH TO THH tTBNlHO TBLFOKAPH.
Baltimore, Nov. 14 There was a shooting
affray at the Maltby House a few minutes ago,
between the youngest ton of Henry A. Wise and
E. A. Pollard, author of tho "Lost Cause."
The difficult grew out of a criticism In the
Baltimore -tmerfcan recently, published by
Pollard, on Governor WUe's late letter and crltl
ciem of him aud his book. No one was killed,
It Is said.
I SECOND DESPATCH.
Full Particulars of the Wise-Pollard
Imbroglio.
I have just returned from tho Maltby Houso.
It appears the two VVIbcb, sons of ex-Governor
Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, went, about ten
o'clock this morrlog to the hotel and enquired
lor K. A. Pollard, but he was not in. About
half an hour afterwards, Pollard, accompanied
by another gentleman, came Into the hotel.
Pollard was met by his wife at the door, and
they started arm-in-arm to walk np the street,
but when on tbe pavement in front ol the
Maltby House they were accosted by theWige't
wnen ronard said, "Wnat do you wian, gentle
men?" Whereupon tho younger Wise, without
saying a word, drew his pilol and fired three
shots, one of which (tho flrstl took effect on
Pollard's right arm, passing through the cap of
the elbow, causing a very painful wound, which
destroyed its use. Tbe other also fired two
shots, but they missed; when Pollard, partially
recoveriDg the use of his arm, drew a
revolver, and .fired one shot, but missed.
The affair caused intense excitement. Pollard
is low under medical treatment, and tbe two
Wises are arrested and in prison held for a
further hearing for assault with latent to kill.

The Reconstruction Convention Tbe
Finance Committee's Report Adopted
Tlie Majority Report of the Franchise
Committee Too Lenient A Sweeping
Measure of Disfranchisement Desired.
Montgomery, Nov. 13. The report ol the
Committee on Flnanoe was adopted. This report
recognizes all obligations contracted either be
fore January 10, lbtil, or since the close of the
wur.
The remainder of the day was spont In dis
cussing the report of the Committee on Fran
chise. Tbe general sentiment of the Conven
tion seems to be that tbe report Is too lenient,
and that a more sweeping measure of dis
franchisement should liuvo been reoota
mended. A number of amendments, nearly all of
which enlarge the number of persons dis
franchised, have been oill-red. There is little
doubt but that If the majority report Is changed
In any way It will be made more severe.
If Ibis Hhould be done, tho Convention miy
end In a disruption of tbe lately organized Re
publican party In this State. Tug moderate men
who have Joined the party simply because there
seemed to be uo other means of getting the
State baok into the Union will not accept negro
suffrage, unless the project of white disfran
chisement be abandoned. The Convention will
probatly settle the question In some way before
the end of the week.

previously conveyed to me by telegraph of the
death of Sir Frederick Bruce.
I have already, in real? to your telegram,
directed you to convey to the Governmsnt of
the United States the acknowledgments of her
Majesty's Government for the expressions of
symputhy with which the United States Lega
tion in this country was instructed to commu
nicate to her Majesty's Government the intelli
gence ol this sad event; but I am glad to avail
myself of the opportunity afforded me in
acknowledging; the receipt of your despatch, to
repeat my instruction, and desire yoa to make
known to Mr. Seward, and, if you have an op
portunity of doing so, directly to the President,
the hlsh value set by her Majesty's Government
on the.-fiiendlv h-ellcus which they nave snown
on this occasion, aud on the general concern
manifested by the public iu the United States
for tbe Bevere loss which her Ma)esty ha sus
tained by the death of her able ani faithtul
servant.
Her Majesty's Government sre Rlud to recog
nize in the feelings which this event has called
forth the regard felt by the Government and
people of the United States not only for the
person and character of the deceased Minister,
but also for the country which he so ably repre
sented, and whose policy aud wishes he so
effectually carried out in cultivating the friend
ship and good-will of those among whom he
was commissioned by her Majesty to dwell.
But not only to the Government and people
of the United States generally are tho acknow
ledgments of her Majesty's Government due.
They have their special thanks to render, of
which Ihey desire you to be their orean, to Mr.
Gilpin, the gentleman who so considerately ac
companied Sir Frederick Bruce from Narragan
tett to Boston, and to the numerous gentlemen
at Boston whose kindness to the deceased dur
ing the short period which intervened between
his arrival at jooston ana nis
death, and whose. attendance at
the funeral ceremonies with which his
remains were honored before their departure
from the United States, entitle them , to their
warmest acknowledgments. To Mr. Sumner, to
the Governor of Massachusetts, and to the
Mayor of Boston, and other distinguished per
sons in that city; to tbe physicians, clergy, and
others who did honor to the remains of tbe
Queen's late Minister, Her Majesty's Government
are sincerely grateful, and you will make known
to them in such a manner as you may deem
most becoming and bett calculated to assure
them bow deeply it is lelt. I am, etc,

btilllaucy and for a bright greenish train, whioh
vanished In a few seconds.
Commodore Sands estimates that upwards '
two thousand were seen, and the thlokest a

The significance of the doleful air to theipeouliar
