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.

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

Their Progress TlirouKhoiit the Country.
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

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

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.

A Hcok Safe. The well known firm of
Farrel, Herring & Co. have now in tholr work
shops, receiving Its finishing touches, a main

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

aud fifty tons, and Is one of the most remark
able works of the kind ever seeu iu this or any
other city.

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. Tbe export demand alone may produce this re
sult, and as the Issue ol a private corporation, they
are beyond the reacn of poll ileal action.
The Company believe that their Bonds, at the pre
sent rate, are the cheapest security lu the market, aud
the right to advance the price at any time Is reserved,
