The View or dlofrrnor Itrowiilow on tbe Prnt Nlluntlon. A correspondent of tbe Olnolnnall Commercial has lately had an Interview with Colonel JoUn 13. Brownlow, tbe son of Governor Brownlow, and J an lor editor of tbe Knoxvllle Whig, and obtained from him a full statement of tbe views ot tbe Governor on tbe present situation In Tennessee. Young Brownlow said (bat be waa fully acquainted with all of his father's ews. As to the Ku.-Kiux-K.ian he answered to a question of the correspondent; "He (Governor Brownlow) regards It as having been originated by leading Rebel politicians, for tbe purpose, by tbe numerous assassinations already made, nf forcing the Immediate enfran chisement of tbe Rebels, by intimidating mem bers of trie Legislature and to carry tbe Hiatn, in .November, for Heymour and Blair, lie regards It as a military, as well asapoiitloal oiKHtilzatlon, and has evidence that at tbelr meeting they drill for hours, as the same men did while in tbe Confederate army. Their pur poses, as shown by evidence in his possession, are Ibe disfranchisement of the blacks, and the expulHlon from the Hiaie of ml Northern men who lougbt in tbe Union army, who are not, now In sympathy with the Democralio prty.'' As to the intention of the Kebeis to overthrow tbe Htate Oovernment, the Colonel said: "The leaders oi the entire pariy, wltn scarcely an exception, In this Btate are openly proclaim ing a purpose to overthrow the Stale Uovern ment In case of )emocratlo success, Ue not only believes that It Is tbe purpose of the grett routts of those who were in tue Rebellion to over throw all the Bouthern Htiue UavernmenU, but tbeir purpose Is also to dissolve the Union and establish I be Moutberu Confederacy, as proposed in 1801. The leaders and more Intelligent ot them do not now proclaim such a purpose with releience to the General Government, because they fear the great power of the North; but such a purpose as tne establishment of a confederacy Is cherished by them now as ardently as at any period during the war. He thinks that if the Government were involved la a foreign war these people would raise at onoe the standard of revolt, as they boast that they can now put as many men In the field as they did In lbl-62." Ue believed that Generals Cheatham, Brown, and Maury, and some others, were sincere la tbelr professions of a desire to have peace and order restored. He had not the same opinion of Forrest: was determined to enforce the Fran chise laws at all hazards; had no Information of an Important scheme to import negroes from Kentucky to vole tbe Republican ticket, and If such a thing should be attempted would crush It as cheerfully as be would disperse a Ku-Klux-Klan. We give below the conclusion of the conver sation: "If matters should continue a quiet in the Stale as they now are, will the Governor call out tbe militia?" "There are now disturbances la a few coun ties, where life and property are insecure. For the past two weeks things have been quieting down, and, should order and quiet continue, no militia will be called out. It will depend entirely upon the people themselves. He does not wihh to have any militia, and will only do o wben compelled to. The people are so heavily taxed that It is to the interest of all parties not to have a milllla force." "Would the Governor rather have Federal troops to aid in enforcing the law, or does he prefer tbe btate forces?" 'He wonld rather have national troops." "Does the Governor t j1K that the President wonld execute in good faith any promise he might make to carry out the franchise law, and insure a fair election In ihe State?" "That be does not know. If the President Should leave General Thomas In command of the department, be wonld regard It as an evi dence of the honesty of bis Intentions, but, if be should remove Thomas, and send Gordon Granger, or some such man, to take command, the Governor would consider it an intention to lo ate any promise, and to try to carry tbe Btste tor the Democratic party. "Will the Governor make any effort to pre serve order without calling out the militia, even If the bill now becomes a law?" "He will. It Is bU intention to appeal to all the people, by proclamation, to obey the laws, and to assist in maintaining order. He la re solved not to call out the militia only as a last resort." A DEMOCRATIC OUTRAGE. Savage Attack on Boys In Blue in New Ilnven, Conn, From the Neiv Haven Journal & Courier, 8spt. 10 Last evening, soon after 7 o'clock, the First Company of the Bo s in Bine of this city moved from tbelr headquarters, and forming In pro cession, to the number of about one hundred, proceeded In peaceable march, beaded by a drum corps, through Grand street, on tbelr way to Fair Haven, to attend a meeting at Heming way's Hall, on the east side, where a company of Boys in Blue was to be organized. Udoq reaching Olive street they were received with bootlnga, groans, and furious yells by a crowd of Democratic roughs, who attaoked the rear of the column and wrenched the torches from some of tbe Company. Thev pursued their march until near the Catholic church, wben a terrible onset was made on the procession, and brickbats, stones, and other missiles were hurled furiously into the peace able and inoffensive procession. Several were immediately knocked senseless,and the whole column was thrown into confusion, tbe torches Were wrested lrom the hands of many of the men, and a frightful scene of violenoe and bloodshed was inaugurated. Father Hart, near whose ' residence the worst of tbe attack was made, appeared promptly on tbe spot, and used bis influence and authority to quiet the confu sion and calm tbe angry mob. He was par tially successful, and about fifty of tbe Boys in Blue managed to set out of tbe melee and reaoh Fair Haven. We are unable to state tbe entire casualties, but so far as we have learned they are these: William Bradbury, Jr.. of No. 452 Btate street, was hit by a stone, and his bead was eat open, making an ugly wound. George Gray, son of William Gray, No. 13 Gilbert street, received a compound fraolnre of tbe skull from a brlokbat, and was, it is feared, fatally Injured. He was taken borne insensible. An elderly man, same not ascertained, was struck by a mis sile, or weapon of some kind, and received a severe out on the head. J. Peck, a young man, was also struck, and his band split open. A youth, name unknown at present writing, was struck on the left Jaw, whloh waa badly broken, Many otbers received less serlons injuries. That the attaok was entirely unprovoked Is, we believe, undeniable; tbat it was preomdl tatd appears to be proven from the fact that many of the missile were thrown, as we are credloly informed, lrom the windows of bouses along the line of the mrrch.and especially at the ictne of the fiercest attack. TEE SOUTH. 1 he Spirit of the Southern ltel.el I-rcar. A Continuation of lalmhooU. Mlauder. and Vituperation. In tbe New York lYibune't correspondence lrom the Bonlb, pu.bll.hed this morning, the following is given: The editorial fraternity at the North mnst be well acquainted with this spirit. Falsehood, Blander vituperation, now Mil tue column of the Southern Democrat ic papers, It was never so in former times. The press was eeuerallv high-toned, temperate, aud breathed a spirit of luruy. xney seiuom, even in the fiercest poll .leal contests, attacked the private character of their opponents. It is very different now. One little sheet in Georgia, formerly un known outside of the county where It is published, is now gettlug an exten sive circulation by reason of tbe vile gianoers which it contains against leauinn He- ubiicans, li descends lor' the lowest deus of n fa m v lo brink UDfoul attacks from the pol luted inmates upon the character of men who bad moved in the best circles with unblemished characters for near half a century. It oontalned recently a whole column of matter, purporting to be an amorous correspondence between a gentleman now ogcudvIiiu one of the highest official stations In the Btate, aud the wife of some muu wno, unbiusntngly, for avowed political purposes, thrusts it before the public The Infamous details are copied and circulated With the utmost avidity by other Democrutla papers in the Btate. Outy now and then a feeble Dry is lifted pp by some editor, or sorue ludl X !dual not wholly Insensible to the ollna of tintn and honor, against this vile method of Warfare. lint tn mmhrvl tn kill nnt rxllnullam and promote Democracy, Is, with the editors ua pauy-ieadtrs, now regarded as doing good service. But while they are thui trying to blacken the character of tbeir opponents, by wuii iirey lueinneives, as wen as ail seusioie people of all parties know to be premeditated and mallsnant slanderr. they have forgotten that they are poisoning tbe very foundations of purity in meir own rarnllles. These papers with all tbelr obscene language go to their own resides, ana are read oy their wives and daugh ters. Even the little misses of the domestic circle catch np tbe debasing slang and retail it to tbelr companions in toe school-room. Tbe fHCt that tne flitby sheft, a country weekly, where these wholesale, filthy, and soandalous stories are manufactured for political effect, boasts of its increased clrouUtion since It adopted this method of repairing its broken fortune, and other papers which copy Its infamy, boasts tbat the editions Which contain tbe polliillns' stuff are sold ouiao readily that extra editions nave to be struck off This shows tbe extent to whloh society Is being demoralised. Puch literature will soon aco m pllsb its work In the most shocking scenes of domestlo infelicity. A young girl belonging to one of "the mnst respectable families" not long since wns arrested in her flight with a negro man. Her father was telegraphed to, and wben be reacbed bis rntned child she fell upon ber knees beiore blm and confessed that she was in tbat condition from which even death itself would be a welcome escape. Huch si enes will be repeated as long as tbe papers continue to lay before the fireside the details of pollution which should be confined only to the abode of those who have been a ban doued alike by virtue and shame. Editors at the North, who read their Bout horn exchanges, know tbat no such filthy communications ap pear in tbe columns of Republican papers at the South; and to tbe credit of the Republicans here, I can say that they banish from their honses all papers which contain tbe disgusting stuff. lamRladtobe able to say that the sen timents of purity, truth, and honor, cherished and Inculcated by Republicans, are tbe only hope or redeeming Southern soolety from the effects of the demoralizing indeoenoy whloh tbeir opponents circulate against them In their own households. GRANT. The Ueneral at bis Home In Oalcna. The Chicago Post says: It 1b kuown, no doubt, to our readers that the people of Galena, at the close of the war, built and furnished a bouse for tbelr illustrious townsman. General Grant. The number and nrgency of the General's public duties have prevented blm from any long enjoyment of tbe handsome gift of bis admiring and grateful neighbors; but, to be free from the annoyance of politicians, to enjoy the rest which his great labor has made necessary, and to cultivate the sooiety and companionship of those among whom be formerly lived, be Is now staying lor a month or six weeks at his Galena borne. And here his course of life is Just what a plain man would make It. Riding or walking over the bills, lounging in the business streets, ohat ting at tbe bank with tbe cashier and Idlers, dropping into Felt's store to have a cigar with tbe proprietor in the counting-room, driving out to the mines and smelting estab lishments, making little trips to tbe surround ing village these and the like oonsu tne all the time not devoted to bis official business. Oae of bis military family. General Comstock. is a member of bis household, acting as Secretary; to bim.mostof thelabor of tbe correspondence is assigned. Knowing every body, familiar with everybody, with not tbe remotest suggestion of pride of place or superiority of intellect, the General makes bis way about followed by tbe kindly greetings and polite attentions of bis townsmen of all shades of political belief a plain, honest, modest Democrat, as well as tbe most distinguished commander of modern limes. Almost every day, visitors make tbeir way to bis place some excited oy curiosity, others Impelled by political con siderations; but their number is few, and their stay is usually short. The General does not talk politics except unwittingly, and then so briefly tbat the most inveterate bore would soon be discouraged. At the same time, bis answers to all questions are free and explicit, and his remarks on men and affairs show tbat he has thorough appreciation of tbe nature of the great crisis through whloh the country Is passing, and fixed principles whloh now guide bis expressions of opinion as they will by and by give direction to his policy. The country has no cause lo fear the fidelity of our candidate. Of his election, General Grant en ter tains no doubt. We gathered from bis con versation tbat bis opinions are as much tbe result of bis fine intuition bis keen Insight Into the working of the popular mind as of what be hears from his political friends. "Yes," said he "if I thought I could serve tbe country as well In my present station as In the Presidential chair, I should care nothing for an election. To give up the place as General lo a sacrifice. It suits me; I am grate ful that ltwasglventomejltlsfor ilfe, and I am sure nothing oould be more gratifying to one's ambition. But It seemed to be necessary for me to run as tbe candidate of those who put down the Rebellion, and so I am In tbe field. I suppose that no man oan do JuBt what be wants to, and then stop. Being a candidate, I want to win. of course. "We touch a more dell. cate matter. The country suffered so much In feeling and pride by the vagaries of the late mistress of the Wblte House, tbat inquiry turns naturally to tbe qualifications of Mrs, Grant for the place she Is snortlv to fill. To say tbat sbe Is a lady would be to tell but half. She is a true wife, mother, woman: and noinnm. benslon need be felt tbat aa long as she is tbe mistress of the Presidential mansion. Its affairs will not be ordered la a way to gratify the most scrupulous lover of what la fit and appropriate in tbat place. aaaaBMBs BURLING AME. ft bat the Anglo-Chinese Freaa Say ol an in. Tbe Hong Kong Dailv Press thus ex Dresses itself in regard to Mr. Burlingame and the Cat- nese mission: Mr. Burlinaame's first speecb to a civilised audience bas come to us a little out of date, but naraiy less interesting on mat account, in the papers of Ban Francisco whloh arrived yester day morning. Entertained at a grand dinner in tnat city, witn the Governor or the Btate at California In the chair, all the notable persons i in tne piaoe arounu mm, me new Chinese Am bassador uttered tbe first words which bave been addressed by the accredited envoy of the Government at Pekln to tbe Western world. It was to be expected tbat there would be a good deal of frolb in a speech delivered nnder such circumstances. We read about fraternization be tween the oldest and youngest Governments In the world and the Interchange of something more than articles of commerce between this Empire and civilized States, and take all suoa grandiloquent phrases as matters of course. Unfortunately, however, there Is nothing in this speech but froth. Whea we hae got to the end of all tbat can be said, about two-thirds of tne human race ana institutions wnioa enabled the Ben of the lowest coolie lo rise to t he blithest office of tbe Stale, aud ihe fabulous antiquity of Chinese civllieallon, we oome to the end of all things. To talk of tbe Interchange of a jinethlng more than tbe articles of commerce between China and tbe nations of tne West is, in fact, very exbilaratlag for after dinner, but Invesll- fated by the Hunt of cold reason, next morulng, i will be set n tbatsuch phrases mean absolutely nothing. It la sometimes said that there never bas been a book written from which It was im possible to learn anything, never a human career lived through from which some good morals might not bo gleaned. Such Baying are tbe sheerest twaddle. There are mountains of books written from which there Is nothing whatever lo be learned, hundreds of human lives passed ihrougu whloh are absolutely un inslructlve aud uninteresting. With nations the same truth holds good. There are countries from which other educated couutries oan learn nothing whatever, and we fancy that it any en tbUHiast for what is called Chinese olvlliz uion were called upon to vindicate the truth of Mr Burllngame's exalted language, by pointing to any particular knowledge or institution which European states would be wise In copying from China, any Chinese idea In art or science whlou they woujd be the richer for asaimuiatuig, he would be sorely puzzled. Of course, even If it could be shown that there were Institutions in China wbicb ought to be oopied in London and Paris, tbe facts whloh civilized men of science would receive from the august "sages" of Ohtna as new revelations, even that would bave nothing whatever to do with tbe Chinese Embassy, wblou la a poUtfbai aud not an educational mission. We do not suppose I hut whatever fund of intellectual treasure licriingnme may have accumulated In his own mind daring bis residence in Pekla, be will assemble tbe members of tbe Frtnoh Aoademg or tbe Fellows of tbe Boyal Institute to receive the gifts of the old t st nations at tbelr nanus. The object of the mission about which the new ambassador ob serves a dlsoreet silence at Han Frauclsoo din ners, are those, whatever they may be, whloh the Chinese Government desires to secure in Its negotiations with foreign powers, ai.d most of tbe signs which may indicate to us what these are, seem to point to the supposition that they may all be summed np lu the word"ol struoliveness." "Progress," bowever, is a word which sounds better at a pnbllo dinner, and is Judiciously made use of by tue new ambassador accordingly. Knowing what all or us in Cbiaa must know, bowever, of the policy which the Pekln Government adopts in every question wbicb arises between It and tbe forelirn repre sentatives respecting foreign Intercourse and tbe material development of ibis empire, Mr. UurliDgame's theory that the mission Is or ganized spontaneously by tbe Chinese Govern ment in tue Interest of progress, strikes one as retberaboid flight ot even an aftcr-dlnuer Imagination. THE NEGROES. Reply of Governor Scott, of Noulh Caro lina, to ft Itcbel Complaint. Tbe white tionulatlnn of Hnuri anhtirir lrmt.H Carolina, having addressed a letter lo Governor pcoii, comiiainlcg of the lawlessness of the blacks, and referring particularly to a disturb ance at Bantee Depot, wbicn, the complaluaut says, bad not received due attention from lue Stale Executive. Governor Scott replies in a lengthy explanation, showing this charge to be gioundless. He then says: I am requested "to maintain the publlo peace, atid to secure to petsons of all classes and raoes ine, noerty, and property rree rro'o attempted Intimidation by armed bands of lawless ruf fians." I shall certainly use all my power in the direction Indicated; and that I may the more efficiently seoure the desired objects, I call upon all persons to pay that respeot t3 tbe officers of the Stale Government which their position entitles them to demand, 1 call upoa all citizens who claim protection frorn the Btate Government to abstain from using the Influence they possess to detraot from and nul lify the authority and validity of tne Govern ment. A large part of the wblte oltlzeus of tbe State Industriously instil Into tbe minds of each other tbe danicerous and false doctrine that the Government of this State de facto is not tbe G tvernment dejure, and that its laws are no laws, and Its commauds no com mands. This Is not merely a misrepresenta tion, but one of the most dangerous kind. It says to tbe Ignorant and misguided tbat a state of anarchy exists in the state, and that they may, wltn Impunity, commit any, bowever wicked, deed. The enunciation or this false doctrine, by leading wbile citizens, has been already productive of Ihe most serious evils. and must end In ruin to the whole commu nity, unless men's minds are disabused. The men who instigated secession were enemies to public prosperity. Their counsel was poi sonouB to tbe interests of the country. The people, bowever, accepted it, aud the devastations or war, with ail Its horrors and miseries, were the result. Tbe men woo are preaching tbe doo'rlne ibat toe State bas no legul Government to-day, are equally ene mies. Tbelr counsels are equally poisonous. God grant they mav not be able airaln to lrt our people astray. Gentlemen, the niost effec tive means or restoring your community to peace and good order is to give freely to every man the right to speak his own political con victions; to avoid threatening colored men or white men with punishment if they vote one way or another; to repo t every case of viola tion of law to the proper magistrate; to give prompt aid to every officer of the law whenmiah aid Is required; to show by word and act that you recognize and respect, as the Government of South Carolina, tbat Government whoS9 Execu tive bead you bave now addressed, and whose Legislative Assembly now sits in Columbia. and that you will so continue to recognize aud respeoi. it until oy lawrut ana regular means it is changed. Your petition and remonairanoe hi addressed 1st, to tbe Governor of South Caro lina; 2d, to the President of the United States, It cannot be overlooked that, in making this appeal to tbe President or tho United States, you bave yourselves, I hope unintentionally, Implied that you bave not that confidence in the intentions of tbe Executive of this State, lo secure the ends of good government. which should possess tbe minds of loval citizens unless unquestionable evidence nas rjeeu exnioued or the absence or such Inten tions. Certainly this Is calculated, whet.hnr in. tended or not, to convey to the public a doubt or the fidelity of the Execut ive a doubt the ex pression of which, is Inconsistent with the pro ber relations between that officer and the people. Such an expression, in Itself, Is one of tbe means by wbicb the power of the State Govern ment Is crippled la Its efforts to seoure law and order. I shall leave no effort untrlel to maintain the peaoe. I shall omit no effort to bring to Justice ail offenders against the laws. I shall make no political opinions a pal liation for violation of law. I shall countenance no armed organizations, unauthorized by law, but shall do all In my power to break them up, where tbey exist. Bat I shall remem ber that my power is limited, that it is only within tbe sphere laid down by the Constitu tion and tbe laws that I must act. Whatever Is proper, lawful, and right 'or me to do, to maintain peace, seoure life, liberty, and pro perty from the rude assaults of ruffian j of either race, and generally promote the public welfare, will be promptly done. A copy of this commu nication baa been sent to hla Excellency tha President of tbe United States for bis Informa tion. I bave tbe honor to be, very respectfully, your servant, Robert K. Scott, Governor. YACHTING. English Comments on the Defeat of the American Yacht Hsppbo, The London News, of August 28. tbns corn- menu on yaohtlng in general and the defeat of tbe Sappho in particular: American yaobtmen, who bave always been on the best of terms with tbelr English brethren, bave really done us sreat service, not only by tbelr spirited example in coming across Ibe ocean, but by improving our lines of construction ana teaching us now to cut ana bow to set fore and aft omvass. Indeed, English yaobtmen bave so profited by these Instructions as to make the victory of another America, to say tbe least, problematical under any circum stances and conditions. Tne Sappho, since her arrival In tbe Solent, bad not displayed any alarming symptoms of superiority, aud we dare say ber antagonists met her off the Castle on Tuesday morning without any serious mis givings. Tbe loss of her Jib boom oft Ventnor does not appear to bave contributed lu any ap preciable degree to tbe result of the contest. The American was lagging astern, even at her own best point of sailing, off tbe wind, and Bhe raiber lost than gained ground after lounding I'embrldge Ledge, when her power of reaching to wind ward was on Its trial. In short, this big American schooner seems uever to bave bad a chance with either or tbe English yac'ii from tbe start to the finish of the race; and there is no reason to suppose that tbe loss or her Jib boom, although no Inconsiderable casually at any time, and particularly damaging to tbe trim and bandiness as well as the speed or such a ctalt as the Sappho, bail any appreciable liidueuce on her real chances of success, Wbetber tbe Sappho was not in her best trim on this occasion, or tbe wl d was not strong etongb for ber requirements, or whether a longer course would suit her better these are qutstloi.g which vill probably be discussed wherever yachting men are met together. That nothing was wanting lo her success in the way sbe was piloted aud handled on Tuesday is happily beyond a doubt. Perbaus 1h a mutch from Cowes road, around the E id j stone and back, she might find ampler room for the asser tion of ber sea going capacities. Assuredly tbe owners of tbe English yachts would be glad to give their American guest the earliest oppor tunity of vindicating her reputation on berown terms. It may be that Captain Baldwin bad somewhat miscalculated the probabilities of such a contest as be bas crossed the Ooesn to encounter, and that be was not prepared lo meet such competitors as (to take the sononners only; the Cambria arid tbe Aline. A match around the British islsndsor across the Atiuntio would cot, we are disposed to believe, reverse tbe result of the race on Tuesday, or transfer the laurels from Enalaud to America. In the absence of tbe Cambria we fancy tbe Aline would aaflloe to uphold the credit of tbe English building yards, although the cutters might be overpowered on the longer voyage.

The latter had met with a very severe defeat at the village of La Coupe. They had also abandoned the siege of Port-aa Prince, leaving their guns and all the ramp equipage In the hands of Saluave's troops President Salnave had issued a proclamation granting an amnesty to all rebels except to the leaders In the late rebellion.

The New York Herald of this morning gives tbe following: At noon yesterday the pious laborers who bave undertaken tbe tremendous task of weed ing tbat bitberto negleoted nook of tne Lord's vineyard, known as tbe Fourth Ward, took formal possession of tbatsmoke-grlmed strong bold of Hatan, wbicb serves as back parlor to tbe dirty little room occupied by Mr. Haddea for tbe dispensation of soda water, sarsaparllla, and other nnlntoxloallng beverages. Soma little difficulty having occurred about tbe license, 'Tommy" gave up dealing In spiritu ous liquors several months ago and some of bis neighbors are uncharitable enough to say tbat to this fact bis conversion Is mainly attributable. Tbe two flitby and wretchedly ventilated rooms In wblch the meeting was held were so crowded by tbe missionaries and tbelr numerous assistants tbat very few of tbe "ungodly ones" could get near enough to hear tbe prayers offered for their salvation. With a view to add to tbe solemnity of tbe scene, bat with a most unchristian disregard for the com fort of bis reverend guests, Mr. Uadden kept bis window shutters closed, tbns producing a dim, religious light, and effecting a combina tion and concentration ot Drobablv tne most I objectionable odors ever generated before out side tbe Black Hole of Calcutta, On being assured that this token of contrition was alto gether unnecessary, tbat fresh air and religion would go very well together, Johnny Allen's new rival appeared somewhat surprised, and Immediately threw tbe shatters back on their binges. After tbe meeting bad been formally opened, and two or three prayers bad been offered up, tbe members of tbe mission, who bad tne back room all to themselves, turned towards tbe door communicating with tbe bar-room, and commenced shout Ing In turn, "it there is any one oat there who wants lo go to Jesus, let blm hold np bis right band, and we will pray for blm." For some time there was no response, but at last one rye-faoed individual, who, It is to be hoped, Is nearer to godliness than be was to cleanli ness, pulled bis dexter digits out of the pockets of his ragged pants, and, after scratching bis unkempt head lor a second or so, held them np against tbe dingy celling. Thtfs enoouraged, others beld np tbelr bands. As soon as the prayers for those who bad thus signified their desire to go to Jesus were ended, a special prayer was offered for an Interesting convert, who volunteered tbe statement that be had Just been released from tbe State Prison, where be bad been confined for four years. "Finding everybody down upon me since my return." said tbe released pri soner," 1 have determined to reform." God bless you, my dear brother 1" ferveutly ejaculated one of the bystanders. "Christ won't go back oa yon at any rate," said another con solingly. "For nine months I had to work with a ball and chain on my legs, and I oan feel tbe strain now," continued tne newoonvert. "Never mind," Interrupted one of tbe members or tbe Mission, "God will let upon ye now Jesus Christ will ask Him to give yon a rest If yon repent wltn all your heart." In closing tbe meeting one of tbe leading revivalists said:"! am determined not to give God any rest until lie consents to bless us Ue must bless as all. our dear friend Hadden, bis beloved wife, and the dear boys on the farm In Orange county." Mr. Hadden denies tbe truth of the report tbat be bas aoonmulated a fortune of more tban 8100,000 by "Bnangbalng" sailors of their earnings. He admits bavlng been something of a "Bbangnalster," bat says he hasn't made as muoh aa 1100.000." DISASTER. Phclan 4k Collender'a New York Rllllnrd Manufactory UeatroyedLotts, 9175,000. This morning, about 1 o'clock, a fire broke out in tbe immense five-story billiard establish ment of Metsrs. Pnelan & Collender, situated on Thirty-seventh street, near Tenth avenue, and running through the entire block to Thirty siztb street. It was discovered on the first floor of tbe building near Thirty-seventh street by Officer Houghton, who was at tbat lime patrol ling In tbe immediate vicinity. An alarm was speedily given, when a large force of engines soon arrived, but not In time to check the progress of tbe flames. The Are seemed to be burning slowly throughout the entire floor wben the doors were smashed In. The light materials billiard tables In readiness for shlp- flng, and articles for their construction were n such great quantities everywhere that water seemed to have little effect In quenohlng the flames. Although the firemen worked with great assiduity, doing honor to themselves, tbe smouldering demon darted from floor to floor, and at 2 o'clock this morning tbe tbree first were entirely gutted, with a portion ol tbe fourth. It seems peculiarly unfortunate that t bis establishment, the largest of Its kind la the United States, aud perhaps the world, should be destroyed at this time, as the proprietors bad Just completed a large order from Cali fornia, and tbe tables were awaiting ship ment. There were employed In the build ing some four bundred and ten men, who will thus be thrown out of employment. Tbe loss is not known, but with the three hun dred finished tables, and four hundred more In process of construction In the building, and with that Itself. It will amount to over $17j.O00. While the firemen weie battling grandly, Ka glneer Hhcdes, the engiueer of the district wbere tbe fire oconrred, was carried from the building in an Insensible condition, being smothered by smoke. At half-past 2 o'clock tbe upper or fifth floor uad caught from the raging fire below, and the lurid flames, with the great volumes of dense, black smoke eveloplng the entire neighborhood, presented a thrilling spectacle, aLd It seemed quite impossible to saved from tbe wreck. Crowds bad gathered around tbe immediate vicinity, some of tho persons but half clad, which added to the lm pretislveuevs ot the toene. The amount of In huranoe could not be ascertained at the hour of leaving tbe locality. TV. Y. Herald. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. fOURT OF QUARTER SBSSIONH-Alllsoa, P.
