THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 18G8. How lie rroNrriitra ft rent Cnne He Is Astonished at Mr. Itolllus' "Hotli nes." In the Now York ntra'aVs account of the pro ceedings against reruln revenue ofUclals which the Illustrious Binckley has Instituted in New York, we find the following: The hour ret apart lor the lnvestlgntlon was 1 O'clock, but long before that time Mr. Dinckley, the Solicitor ot Internal Kuvenuc, who has special chRrgo of tho prosecution, was making fireporation for the reception 3f evidence against he defendants. The examination yesterday took place In a mall parlor (No. 1G5) on the second Btory of the southern wing of the building. Every pos sible precaution wus taken to prevent the ad mission of the press, end to ettcct this object two oUicors acted as sentinels at the doors. Shortly before 2 o'clock, however, it was decided that the investigation thnuld be conducted in public. At that hour the ca'O was resumed by llr. Binckley, who said the proceedings were conducted on the first day at the Instance of the defense. He witlied that fact to be placed on the record. Mr. Patterson, who appeared as counsel for Murray, replied that he believed there was no occasion lor such a proceeding, as the sessions could be public now. Mr. Binckley said he was not opposed to any course the defense might adopt 1u the matter, but he wished it to bo underwood that he was tot responsible for the privacy which had piarked the last examination. Mr. Courtney believed the proceedings should Hot be conducted In private. Everybody Interested in the maintrnauce of the law and the Integrity of officials i-hould have an oppor tunity to hear or read the evidence which might be presented in the caw. Hereafter, then, sea eious should t.ot be held in the Astor House, but in some court room. It was duo to tbc case and to all Involved in it that the fullest, freest, largest publicity should be given to the testi mony. Mr. Hinckley I have never been opposed to any deeree of publicity in the matter. Alter some effort to secure a postponement, Mr. Whi'e, coui scl for Ex-Collector Smith, said that, while ready to pioceed, he would no? object to 11 post jioneraent of his case under the ciicumstauccs. He was, however, anxious to go on, and he would show, when an opportu nity presented itself, that it was a conspiracy of Whisky thieves to ruin honot men. Mr. White remarked that the reason Mr. Rollins did not appear was because he knew the whole thing was a conspiracy against him, and that the charges were false. He had received a letter lrom Mr. liollina this morning in which be stated that he looked on the accusatious against him with indignation and contempt, aud that they were of such a silly and evidently croundlt bs character that he was forced at times to laugh at them. That (added the counsel) is the reason he did . not come here. Why, the principal witness lor the prosecution, who was nndor examination ou Tuesday, admittedly failed to substantiate any of the charges which have been made. We deiy the prosecution to prove their charges. Mr. Binckley The character of the evidence is a question for the Court to determine. Mr. White Mr. Holhns was perfectly awate of the fact that this is a cr.ncpnaey against him, and he was bold enough cot to come, Mr. Binckley Bold enough ? Mr. While I see by the newpaperj that the President and the Secretary of the Treasury have disavowed any connection or official know ledge of the proceedings, fo that if that is the case it is difficult to know by what authority the Solicitor is acting in the cuse. Mr. Binckley Do i understand you, sir, to question my authority to represent the United btates in this matter f Mr. White replied in the negative, remarking that the fact he had adduced was merely de rived from newspaper reports. Mr. Biuckley The question is now one of postponement. I would prefer to ptocoed wittt the case to-day. as I have onerous duties to perform in my office at Washington. Mr. Courtney remarked that the difficulty was, that as ttie charge against both the defend ants was one ot copuacy, they should proceed together. Mr. l'atterson was perfectly willing to go ou -Vlth the investigation to-morrow morning. Mr. Binckley It appears to be the will of nil parlies to have the case postponed, and I will accordingly consent. The Commissioner theu adjourned the esamt natiou till to-morrow ut 1 H. M wln u it will be held in the United Sla:es District Court Raotu .in Chambers street. Both the defendants are now out on bail. No notices to appear before the Court have yet been served on Commissioner Rollins. Tiic Paris Fushions. From Le Folitt. The adoption of the fashions ot the last cen tury has biouglit to light such a vario y of cos tumes that the limits between laucy aud hisiury are hat d to discover. The best thing to do lu this case is to giveashoii description of such pretty, original, and graceful costumes as you meet with. Of all styles that 1 have seen this week, one deserves most special notice, for it Was of theTtianon dairymaid style. A silver gray upper skirt of silk was long enough behind to be loooed up so as to form a large puffing. The apron wa9 narrow at the belt, but became wider lurtuer uown, auu nai an extension on eacb side, which was knotted behind, and fell down like the flaps of a sash. This knotted apron supports the pufliog formed by the upper skirt. The waist was tight fitting, while lue sleeves be came wider near the seams und ended in two rows of puffing round the wauHbauds. Tue small oianteiet was not longer behind tbau a round fichu, it fell in front in square flaps which became a little wider as they lell over the SKirt. This mantelet, cut in the form ot a heart, ou the chest, has a row of pulling tor ornament corres ponding with the shade of tue drees. This is a very graceful costume. 1 have seen what is called a long toilet, composed as follows: Too dre was of copper-colored silk, and the hulf long upperskirt ornamtnied with a flounce, Which teiminated ubovo in a puffiug of like width. Th's, ornamented, runs alongside the front Beam, half way up the skirt, and ends in a combination oi small Knots looking like eo many butterflies. Tbe upper end of the Chantillj mantelet was plaited and held together by a clatp of black satiu ribben. Tue mantelet falls halt way down the skirt, and ends in two points. The front part, as long as those points, Is likewise round, and can be festooned in a very artistic style. Tbe small round hat ol black lace has small copper colored llowers for ornamuLt. It is asserted that uoue but dre.-ses with points will be worn next winter; this will bring us nearer yet to the fashions of former days. Even now they beimo make them that way, and with paniers, which give tbe costume a decided marquiie look of the eighteenth century. It will be remembered that these poiutt form the lower end of the waist, and make the figure appear to so much better advantage ou account of the contrast lo the paniers, "from which the points ii?e. There is a very tasteful way of uniting taffeta or tilk with crape ou vapory costumes. The long lower skirt, for Instance, is composed of Mlk, aud the lower part of it ornamented wit h a flounce aud a era pe puffing witn microscopic knots of silk at the top. The tunic is made of Chinese crape, and ends lu a l'ght puffing with flounce. Tae low neck waist opens in the form of a heart in front and behind, and is worn over an undcrwaist of crape bordered with Aleneou point lace. The waist has crape pulling, with small knots at the top for ornament. The sleeve with crape puf fing cuds with wristbands of Aleneou point lace. This toilet is iutended for the Duchess of L , and will be greatly admired in all the 6alous ol Biariitz. Bumor asserts that General McClellan Is about to take the stump in I'ennsylvania for r-evrnour aud Blair. Tue Troy Times says: "He has been 'about' to take something ever sluce we first heard of him. If he will succeed in taking even so much as a 'stump' we shall be glad to chronicle the lact. It's an even bet that lie won't be able to decide whether to begin operations in i'ennsylvaula, Se Jersey, or New Icik until alttr the clectiou.'1 M'lle lima is the wife of M.

The Vermont and Massachusetts Kail road has surveyed a route to Turner's Falls, which will probably be adopted, beginning about two hundred feet east of the Connecticut River Bridge, and running north through Montague City. The New Loudon Road Is surveying a route from the same point south, tbtough. iho ccn're ot Montague town and connecting with their road near Lock's I'ond, which, probably, will also be built if the Vermont and Massachu setts connection north to tbe Falls Is thus giving Montague Centre and the New London iioad a direct connection with the Falls. On tus Morris and Esex Railroad tbe doublo track has been laid to withm a short distance cast ot Morristown, and the remain ing space not more than a mile will soou be completed. The road at various places Is being firmly ballasted with broken stones, which not only gives a ttnoother motion to the cars, but prevents in a great measure the mot disa greeable objee loo to summer travel the dust, hevtral new station and stopping places have been constructed and provided lor dutiug the past j ear. The projected railway to connect Buffalo with the rennsjlvania coul-lields is called the Buflalo and Southern Railroad. This road will commence with the Atlantic and (ireat Western Railway, at or near Levant, where the Dunkirk, Warren, and Pittsburg Railway intersects the same, and in connection therewith will make a direct route from tiullulo to Warren, li., dis tance about 76 ui'lcs. A movement Is ou foot for the purpose of connecting the Adirondack Riilroad with steam I out navigation ou the SSacaiidaga river at ConklingviUe. The capital stock for'the enter prise is estimated at $125,000. A meeting to complete tbe organization of the Company, and to lurther the movement, is to bo held in Uadley, Saratoga county, on .Satuiday next. The Illinois Cential Railroad Company on the 1st day of October next will pay its 7 per edit, construction bonds for $1000 eacb, num bering from 3000 to 4000 inclusive, with 20 per cent, added to ihe principal thereof; aud alter the 1st of October interest ou these bonds will cease. The Memphis and Charleston Railroad, in its last liscal year euined $1,179,921, u decrease of 4'JG,C'J8 troni the preceding year. The net carninirs were S311,P0ti. The fuuied debt is $3,888,ri30, and the floating debt is nominally 32G,682. Ot thU sum $182,180 is immediately payable, and the cash resources are $134,378. Ihe Providence Journal is paying its atten tion to the New York and New Uaveu Railroad for its many shortcomings, and while doing so does not lorget the Suoro Line hole 1n the ground which they call a depot, In New Haven, and where no decent railroad would carry a passenger. It is reported that the Portland and Oxford (Me.) Central Railroad Company, which some time ago stopped ruuning trains, has been restraiLed by aa injunction from the Supreme Court from taking up the rails. A latge number of workmen are employed in grading the trick tor the Belfast aud Moose head Lake Railroad, and the work Is going tor ward as tapidiy as could be desired. noimoNisM. A Tonus Cilrl nrrictl Away Against Ilcr Will. Ou the 2')th cf August, writes a correspondent, between 750 and 800 Mormon immigrants, which en the 12th instant landed in Aew York, from ihe ship Eintr ild isle, pa?sed through Chey enne. Among those emirauts was a girl aged about sixteen, who has a married sHer living in the latter city, who was extremely anxious to reclaim her from the Mormons, and if possi ble to itdut e her to remain here. In devising plans for the accompli.hmeut of this object, she concluded not lo go to the train herself, but to tend ber husbaud with, a message to the joung gill that her elder sister was here aud strongly desired to see her. It was thought this little stratagem would set the girl beyond the power and influence bv which she was surrounded, and once released, her liberty would be secared. The husbaud proceeded on his errand; he saw the girl, spoke to her, and delivered his message, but more thau this he failed to accomplish. To get her from the tra'n by permission was Impossible; to ac complish this object by force proved equally unsuccesful. Pieadings wer. answered with denials; force met over vihel ruin sr resistance; and from the poor woman ho wished to save her sister, and who unseen was overl oking the struggle upon whih she based so many hopes, there were sobs and tears. When the party in charge of the emlsrraut girl dragged her, with her drapery torn to rags, lrom her friends, and in spite of their protests forced her into the cur, which was moving on, the woman burst iuto hysteric wails aud cries lor one whom she was compelled to look upon as lost forever. The mother of the girl, who resides in Birmingham, England, consented to her corning to America only on condition that hhe remained in Cheyenne with her sister. A letter from her mother is evidence of that fact A telegraphic despatch has been sent to Beuton to have her returned to Cheytuue. C TY 1 TE M S. A Hcok Safe. The well known firm of Farrel, Herring & Co. have now in tholr work shops, receiving Its finishing touches, a main moth flre-proof safe, which is to be located in the new building of tbe Safe Deposit Company, on Chesnut street, below Fourth. It is the largest allair of the lilnd in tills city, aud pro. bably the largest iu tho world, as it is 27 feet la length, 21 leet lu breadth, and 8 foot high, form leg, in fact, a room containiug as much space as the average of parlors In Philadelphia, The entire vault will be lined with Spiegel Eisen (mirror iron), the new metal which is Ave times harder t han the hardest tempered steel, aud the bestrehlstanttoa burglar's drlil.orcuttlng tools ever manufactured. This is produced principally from tho ore of Frankilulte, and will cut glass like a diamond. It Is also combined by a patented process with wrought iron iu such a manner, tDat whllo it retains ail Its harduess, H is so malleable that It may be Hedged until it bends without breaking. It is a far better re sittantto blows than either haidoued steel or chilled iron. Its weight is over one hundred aud fifty tons, and Is one of the most remark able works of the kind ever seeu iu this or any other city. IIkmcal IIjmts kob tus Fall.

A very Importaut cons'deratlon in determining the value of theee bonis Is the length of time they have to run. 11 Is well known that a longbondaiwayscommanda a much lilght r price than a short one. It Is safe to assume that during the next thirty years, lie rate of interest lu the United States will decline as It has done lu iuiope, atd we have a right to expect that such six ptr cent, securities us thtse will be held at as high a premium as those of this Government, which lu 1657 were bought lu at from 20 to ii per cent, abova par.
